Looking for cool drinks coaster suggestions?

beany_bot · 15 Jan 2016 at 13:11

Hi Im looking for a nice drinks coaster for my gaming desk. My desk is white and PC/peripherals and black/blue led.

Doesn't have to colour match, must be less than £10

Something computer related? maybe something game related but not too geeky? I did find a pretty cool NES one

Open to all suggestions. Literally dont have coaster at the moment so would be good to get a nice one.

They are cool, especially the glass ones. I like Star Wars but I wouldn't say I'm a big enough "fan" to have a dedicated coaster though. I'm thinking more along the lines of gaming or PC?

Nice and helpful Josh

Surely OcUK have a coaster to go along with the extreme gaming mug?

Edit: Good enough

Can cut to size of many coasters

Tried that, when I google them I just get page after page of "twee" coasters that my wife would buy. Not good. Looking for suggestions from like minded people.

Hmm thats got me thinking I wonder if I could repurpose an old peice of harware into a coaster. Perhaps an old mobo, sand it flat and polish it up and cut it out. I have a workshop out back so have the tools for it. That could be an idea! Part of a motherboard in epoxy resin!

Those are utterly useless. The hole in middle means any liquid leaks through on to your table and the underside of the coaster.

Useless I tell thee!

Don't drink like a neanderthal and they work just fine

I got a set of these from NERG last year:

They do other slate designs like Game of Thrones and MegaMan etc.

Although if you still find some Proper floppy disks would be as good
