My Holiday project: Building a pc into my coffee table
The Table


Front usb/sound matches up with the door. Need to tidy this up a bit


Front door open. Power button can be detached from door if needed. HDD cage has space for 4 full size drives


Top of. Ventilation comes in the side (Double dust filter pads), and gets sucked through the power supply to the back


Side has ventilation holes. Still debating if I want a full hole. Will probably stick a grill over it


Back, Photo is a bit small. Power and usb/graphic card full access. Wireless keyborad/mouse and wifi card.


The whole unit is built on a shelf, so if I remove one screw, the whole thing can be taken out

@Teb nicely done, only worry I would have is the cabling that will be running from system to wall plug and TV especially with pets and people potentially tripping. Pets shouldn't get hurt but people could pull cords out and damage the components or ports

Cables have been there for ages. I can run it under the rug or at least tighten it up, but nobody died yet, so...

I used to just have a pc case in the compartment to the right, with the cables running through

@Teb ah ok. If it wasn't clear don't care about people tripping and injuring themselves, care about people tripping and damaging components

High -



Low - When those are finished.

High - Back to work! Been kind boring this vacation... glad to be back... (only something a self employed person can say)

Low - Please note, if you Wii U breaks, get stickers... worlds most Nintendo paperweight. Wii U bricked after it failed an update. Nothing can be done locally, phoned Nintendo and their company that works on them "called a legacy console, so no fix"

@Llama_Duck Or someone who likes their job

High - Loving new job
Low - Unisa and their crap

High: New gym is a blast...
Low... to the ego. I have a full body tooth ache

This ain't right

High - Had a good weekend, did plenty but felt relaxing

Extra High - Friend of 20+ years finally left the country yesterday and is headed off to Wales. We have been telling him for years to gtfo and he finally listened.

High - Going to CT for the weekend next week. Should be a fun little trip
High 2 - Payday soon

High - Car went into the panel beaters today to get the prang fix…

Not low, but funny – Rental car…. Kia Picanto… all of me….6.3 feet, 125KG and size 12 shoe and then my son, 6 feet, 110KG and also size 12 shoe in that car…alteast parking will be a breeze…the two of us can carry the car to any open spot to park…

Low: Had a bit of a scary incident last Friday, and have had to send my car car through to a mechanic. So this week I have been without a car and stressing about repairs.

High: The mechanic has sorted out the issue and says that my car should be ready for collection today.

Low: While he sorted out the issue at hand and got the car up and running again, he noted all the other issues with the car. It is a VERY long list of issues.

High - Had an amazing weekend in Cape Town, spent the whole time in the winelands/Franschhoek. So beautiful

Low - Back to reality today! And Unisa's nonsense

High: Really getting into the new gym and routine. Why doesn't everybody do this? (Just kidding, get of my lawn! I want a quiet gym)
Low: So much nonsense. Rubbish trickling down from Government level to us all over the place. This country is starting to suck biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig time

@Teb sorry to hear man, know you were really looking forward to that move. As for the emigration thing, yeah I understand why people are keen on looking, but honestly, where do you go? US isn't great, if you can get in. Their labour laws are awful as is just the general employment situation and ability to survive. And if you are brown...
UK is likely f*cked when they actually leave the EU, Oz is on fire, literally. Everyone has issues it just depends on what you are willing to tolerate.

For me, SA has a shedload of opportunity, my business is growing and the stuff that's happened in the last week means I possibly won't have to work for someone else ever again and will be able to retire comfortably when I do want to retire. But that's my unique situation and who knows what actually happens in the future?

High - Only two meetings today, definitely not the norm
Low - Was awake from 1am-4am due to loud neighbours, heat and general insomnia, then up for work at 5.30am.

Low: Really getting hammered by Spam calls. Some ^&^^(^&*&*( probably sold my number again

High - Had a really fantastic weekend
Low - Still recovering today because I'm old

High: That first cup of Monday coffee that touches your soul... like an unexpected Russian wrestler in the gym shower
Neutral: My little furbaby is going in to get his pockets picked. Hope he doesn't stay mad to long
