WORKLOG: Project Hideout 2

small update on my room.. I painted it (again).. though my camera makes it look very white.. its stone grey with sand in the paint.. so it feels and looks like stone.. its a neat effect..

here is my old C3 case which is getting parts to be water cooled.. (should be coming any day now) that'll be fun to get together.. also is my endless parts and cases..

I wont post anymore till i finish up my rack space/server closet.. that's going to be a while.. its a hellva project..
 
wow I give mad props to that desk. I wish I had a little room like that. It would solve A LOT of my current problems.
 
I spy a Gateway 2000 tower circa 1993 with a Pentium I in that picture. I love my Gateway 2000 Pentium I 60MHz. It's so ridiculously blindingly fast. :D

On the topic of stealthed door, go powered sliding door/Star Trek. Now that would be a nice entrance to it. I'd wire up soem kind of RF signal thing so the door stays locked unless your within 3 feet of the door. Like Mercedes/Cadillac keypod thingy. Go go go!

actually thats a P90.. i have sinced ripped that out and put in a Dual PPro200 setup with 4 18gig cheetahs.. the sound from the cheetahs was painfull.. so i stopped using it...
 
Awesome! :D

I'd love to do something like that. I have the room and everything, I just wouldn't trust myself to build something like that without ruining this whole area of the house :(
 
Very nice setup!!

With so many computers in close proximity, it's screaming logitech wireless duo and a kvm.
 
Great job, Im quite jealous. Questions for you:
what program did you use to make that plan?(i think it was your 3rd pic)
did you have anyother room designs?And if so, could you share them.
Did you just buy the wood boards and then cut it to shape and then have it laminated?
Any lamination tips?

Hope to hear from you, Id love to get the wifes permission to do something similar to this.

thanks
epic

I used sketchup to get a good visual of what i wanted.. then did the real measure and layout work in autocad

I did have a few diffrent room layout designs.. and no i didnt keep any of them.. I kept changing the same drawing.. sorry :(

yes i bought all the supplies at homedepot.. all the wood and laminate.. i cut and laminated everything myself

lamination tips? do it in a _very_ well ventilated area.. that glue is nasty.. other then that is pretty easy.. the laminate is snapped to size then after you put it on.. run your router around the desk to flush it out and get it perfect... its also razor sharp stuff.. wear gloves.. it cut me to the bone on my index finger that kinda hurt :)

my wife was very supportive of me and my room.. tho.. i dont think she knew exactly what I was doing.. and how long it was going to take :D

i used to have a ratpad.. and then a ratpadgs.. but if i explain what happened to them i'd probably get this thread locked and deleted.. :D
 
you and bonz from the custom case world should go into business building rooms and peoples pc's together and make a killin. Good job on everything!
 
I am totally poping like 15 boners right now. My wife would crap a lemon if I did that to the comp room. She and I share it and it stays trashed all the time. Great job, especially on the fomica tops. That stuff is a pain if you don't know what you're doing. But it's evident you do. Kudos!
 
Man, I got an 8'x8' bed room in my house that'd Be PERFECT for that, all but the pocket door idea, my landlord (dad) would kick my ass for doing that. I gotta redo some drywall in my bedroom too.
