Introduction
My girlfriend had one of those old $100.00 Caldor dressers, and
it was falling apart. When I bought her a new one, she wanted me to
throw it away, but I had better ideas.
My apartment is very small and I need to utilize every bit of space.
As a result, my computer table needed to hold just about everything
that I use every day, and this is why I needed to add shelves and every
other idea I could think of.
The
Modifications
The Image on the top is the catalog picture, and mine is on the bottom.

I
know, it's a cluttered mess, but it's not like I have a choice,
right? Here are the mods up close.
|
|
I put a Nail in next to the monitor so i can
hang my headphones up.
|
|
I built a paper holder and stuck it on the right
hand side. Since I have all different kinds of paper, this was
a must have, rather than just a big pile of paper.
|
|
On the other side I added a swinging door witha
phone mounted onto it. this keeps it out of the way when not in
use, but also make it comfortable when it is in use.
|
|
I attched it with 3 small hinges.
|
|
I put the screwed the CD spindle to the side
over the computer. No point in wasting the shelf space on it.
|
|
On top I added a CD rack since the small one
it came with only holds like 20.
|
|
The top itself was added on as well. This was
a major improvement addlong alot of extra space over the monitor
was otherwise was being wasted.
|
|
Notice on the right is my little kitty.
|
|
Say Hello to My Little Kitty. I got her at my
last job. One night someone brought me a kids meal, and this was
the toy. I always kept it at work, and people slowly started adding
the stickers. I added some ganja, since she always looked like
she was tripping anyways.
|
|
Underneath on the left I added a small shelf.
|
|
On the right I added the other small shelf,
while still being able to put magazines and stuff under there.
|
|
This is the center shot of under the table.
I added the long arcing shelf. this way I have it for storage,
but It's not in my way, where I'll kick it or something. Also
under here are 4 smaller shelves underneath that, which i have
running down the sides. I also have my Steering Wheel pedels velcroed
onto a wooden stand I made, which in turn is velcroed to the subwoofer.
|
|
For the most part it's pretty sturdy. I don't
use it very much, but when i do, this simulates the comfortable
driving angle of a normal car.
|
|
So, those are the mods I have made over the
past few months. Honestly, it's not as cluttered as it looks,
since everything has it's own place. Although, when I see peoples
case mods, in the backgrounds, thier computer tables are areas
that I could never work. Those tables are so barely put together
with old tables and crates that there is barely enough room for
the keyboard and mouse.
