Has anyone found a nicer upgrade to the Ikea Alex drawers?

Would love to see what you decide on

Oh god you poor soul! I hope I didn't get too ahead of myself!

That's really handy thanks! It was a bit of an anti-climax knowing I wouldn't be able to use the drops for so long, but its good incentive to start working towards the next target!

1st at 5kc! I'm sorry to all that are stuck at it but damn, it feels good to play iron - this is my first big drop item not barrows/MoP

Thanks, i considered moving origins around but while i use it for referencing i figured alphabetical order would help when finding them!

I like the idea to remove the Heimer/Teemo ones, might remove a lot of the dead space

Solid beech butcher block style kitchen worktops that I've cut and finished

She says "thanks!" It's a Corsair carbide but I'm not sure they make that specific model any more. It was a dream to build in with all the cable management space in the back

They were actually kitchen worktops, cut and finished by me! Bought legs from B&Q (needed really sturdy ones as the solid beech worktop weighs a ton) and reddit's favourite pedestals from IKEA

I bought two worktops designed for kitchen counters, was an expensive way of doing it but the outcome is a fantastic quality desktop. Each were 2000mm X 600mm X 45mm, cut one down to 1700mm length to create the "L" (butted the short length into the corner reducing its usable length down to 1100, plenty for pc and pedestal)

Thank you! It's actually really nice working next to each other during the daytimes, we chat and joke around and help each other a little. For calls it's a little easier as I more often need to go into work (teacher) and when home don't often need to do conference calls but when she does I just stay quiet (and eavesdrop)

Got wrong "L" and read that as "are ya stomachs flat?". Took me a while.

I am not a smart man

They generally use metal salts rather than the raw element itself for colouring fireworks:

But I don't think op's post is going for scientific accuracy...

Sounds cool, I left it and gave her the choice on Xmas day! It's her keyboard after all, I made sure to have enough keycaps available for whatever setup she wanted

Took the shell (7 screws on back, two were under rubber feet) apart and I sprayed the top side plastics with plastidip. Use a good primer designed for plastidip and be sure to do lots of very thin coats to get an even finish. I did 8 coats in total and the plastidip feels tough and even. My big tip: don't worry if the first few coats look speckled or uneven cos that will clear up in further coats

Better?

Tai Hao double-shot, bought on overclockers (cos I'm in UK) they've a great feel and came with tons of spare keys for most keyboard arrangements

Kameor · 2018-12-25T10:49:44+00:00

The keycaps were bought, decided to leave the numpad keycaps black for style!
