The PC in a Desk
Here’s a cool IKEA desk mod from Theron Parlin:
“For a long time, I have been annoyed at my big old PC case. It’s big,
it’s black, it’s not pretty in a living room. I used to live in a small student
apartment, so it wasn’t a big issue. But next month, I will be moving into a
small house, so I want to make things look better. As the PC will be in the
living room, I want to get rid of the big PC case. The answer is IKEA, and
chopping up the old case.
I bought this nice cheap desk “Jonas” from
IKEA. It’s simple, it’s “clean”, and the drawer/cupboard is more than big enough
for my computer parts. Buying it IKEA-style, meaning that I get it in parts, is
a big bonus for my project. It means I can cut the wood etc., before I assemble
the desk.
desk, showing as little PC off as I can. This means I will try to do as little
“damage” to the desk as I possibly can. I have limited it to cutting in the back
board, and drilling inside the desk only (for rails etc.).”
