Certainly am..

Well then you must most certainly make a build log!
So are you going for the whole desk then?

Glaucus · 27 May 2009 at 20:12

only thinking about it and costing it up at the moment, but yes.

That's a smart looking setup, not seen that before.

I'd love to see this :cool:

exactly i look forward to every image during the build...then give you abuse from my pure jealousy of an amazing idea and no doubtfully an amazing build

Very cool, not seen that before.

off topic, knowlesy is that a left handed Nikon in your sig (is there such a thing) :confused:

Anyone know what thickness acrylic they used. i'm assuming 5mm would be to thin?

lol photoshopped

I prefer it from that angle sadly its on the left side

and id imagine good 10mm minimum for screws etc ??

I wish you luck sourcing thick acrylic, the best I managed to find was 3mm. It wasn't cheap either. It's a good idea however, I'd also be interested in how it progresses

clear is easy to source, dark tint Like i want can easily be had at 5mm would need to glue them together with invisible glue to get the 10mm.
£87 for the 4 panels to make the top and bottom

2 x 1380x500mm
2x 1370x490mm
Cut to size.

Could you not use 5mm and then have a frame and various other clear struts built inside (with hdds/radiators mounted on for example) to help take the weight?
