"Secret" only to people under the age of 25 or so.
And with zero curiosity .....
I just would have to fight of my friends to prevent them from drilling a hole in the top left corner.
This isn't a rage-flip, I just need to put down more plates on the other side!
weight: 350 pounds
Yeah but double sided that's 700!
Bah I don't want to open the secret compartment one day and find my TV remote has got corrupted. I'll wait for the hard disk version.
Weird how the blue floppy disk icon is still used for "save" even though most people who are now learning about computers have no idea what a disk is.
If we were in real life, I'd have blurted out Skeumorphism, and then realize that it's not quite, really.
I make that error so often I am now actively looking for a term like Skeumorphism but not quite just to describe the disk == save thing. And I guess the gear == settings thing doesn't really work for computers either, come to think of it.
Needs a matching SCSI connector welcome mat.
$930 is a bit steep, but I suppose it is a hand-made piece of art in your living room.
I wonder if you could hack some Ikea furniture to resemble this, with aluminum to cut down on the weight. A Tofteryd looks about the right size.
A lack side table would make a cute mini version of this, but I'm not sure it would stand up well to being drilled. It's hollow particle board for the most part.
If i'm hacking up any Ikea stuff to look like this it would be a Lack
And as a bonus you could keep a rackmounted server in it as well.
(I replied to someone above before even scrolling down enough to see your post.)
Is it just me, or does the table in the photos seem bigger than 27.56"?
I want a 5.25 one.
