Pc in a cupboard - stupid idea?

Luggs · 7 May 2014 at 09:47

I think I'm going to try and find/build a stand to the side of the desk. It's going to be ugly with exposed cables everywhere, but easier than drilling holes in the new built-in furniture...

abbotsmike - you could well be right mate, I'm not very technical myself. All I know is that I played 2 nights during the crazy 30+degree summer last year and immediately started to get BSoD's and hardware failure crashes that increased in frequency until the PC was pretty much unplayable. Just don't want to go through anything like that again!

any pictures op ?

often I have contemplated making a hole in an outside wall and fitting a grill/ducting as my pc sits next to the wall (bit like tumble dryer piping). Dont think the wife would approve but the temps would be reduced loverly.

The wife is not happy about the amount of space my pc is taking up on the desk.

Easiest solution is to tell your Missus she is being unreasonable.

Pretty much this.

Tell her you think she takes up too much space and should try going on a diet.

She will see your point of view immediately and let you win without arguing. At all. I promise.
