Project: .:Eight:.

[Kristall-99]

Anyone here wanna take a quick guess?

Whats 7" tall, ~36" wide, and holds 8 computers you say?

Me and a friend, decided, that sense were gunna start crunching computers, we might as well be ready for the new ones we get in.

So we said "Eh....might as well"
So we head down to the garage and see what kinda wood we have instock. We locate a lovely piece of Material to fit a back, and 2 side pieces.

As we started to get the shelfs drawn up on the back, I decided we might as well go big and said ":banana::banana::banana::banana: it, this is the whole back" So instead of having a smaller tower for 4 computers, we went ahead and made 8 spots computers

Glued and screwed all shelves into place, as well as the dividers. Had to cut new top piece for that one seemed 3/4 inch to short :( On the other hand, my shelves fit beautifully, very snug +1 to me

Everything is glued and new top piece is made and put on. Started to drill Cable routing holes along outer sides and inner sides of each shelf, Only have outer holes cut currently. The smallest shelf in the middle will house 2 4port switches, or 1 8 port switch. The middle sized shelves will hold 4 PSU's to power all of the computers.

are you looking for 1 key for all 8 comps, or 1 key per comp.

If it is 1 key per comp just find a momentary key switch, otherwise I have some Ideas but am not sure how it would work.

i was going after 1 key switch per comp, thanks for pointing me in the right direction =)

Would a local home depot or lowers have such thing, Or possible an ace hardware be chance?

Edit: never mind, every place around here has them for 20$ a pop, think ill just order some online =)

Thanks mate, caulked all corners for a better transition to the back panel, and painting/hinging, and adding doors hopefully tomorrow, should be relatively done by this weekend.
