@samhenrigold if you find something you like better and the drawers aren’t open on the back just get a hole saw for a drill and make one. @samhenrigold How about a nice little mid-century bar cabinet? Put the electronics on the bottom of the shelf. Something like this: @samhenrigold I went with the IKEA KALLAX in natural wood color which has a nice open back and lined up well with the outlets on the wall. Obviously the front is still open, but after I picked up extra-short power, coax, and Ethernet cables it looks fairly slick. Fits my 4-bay JBOD + Mac mini pretty exactly in one of the cubes. @jedfox This might work well in my bedroom/office where I need to visually split the room in the middle… 🤔 @samhenrigold it also has the convenient feature that it is orientation independent so you can choose based on vibes whether you want to have it tall or wide after assembly. Thank you all, you're the best. Someone DM'ed me this one and I copped it: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1511757846/table-for-record-player-stand-cabinet @samhenrigold I will take this as tacit Gen Z approval for Millennial mid-century aesthetic. @kyle I inherited a LOT of mid century stuff and I'm too deep in it at this point to change styles @samhenrigold we put that stuff in an IKEA cabinet with smoked windows. I can see the status light colors, but only vaguely sam henri gold, it's strange that you have your internet cable enter the apartment what looks like from the outside. Is this a normal thing to do in the US? People here usually have their routers in hallways or closets. @grishka it enters from the hall doorway, the fiber optic cable happens to terminate next to the window. |
@samhenrigold a little end table with shelves. Maybe one with doors on the front.
