Looks dope to me, and thanks for inspiring me to try and build my own!
Moving soon, will want some new furniture for the new house! :)
Edit: If we can fit it, I think I might want to pick up something similar to what you have up there, just a touch longer - the 78" - and see if we can get everything (production computers and home DJ setup) on there. I think you could even get two pieces and angle it... Either way, very cool find - I wish Ikea was relatively easy for us to get to/deal with... :mad: |

I found a brushed steel top table from ikea that I bought from craigslist. It's just a flat table but its very tall and on wheels. I put an end table under it for placing my CDs, though now I've moved the room around so its on the side of the decks.

Any opinions/recommendations??? |
In my experience, Ikea stuff can be hit or miss. For that price you might want to check out this for $199:

It's more suited to fit your needs. Mixer + CD decks on the lower part and speakers on the upper part. Plus, if you decide to add more gear to your collection, this thing has a fair amount of rack space. |

why wouldn't she let you build it?? I would take it to the shop only if she was willing to pay for it. :) |

| cos if i bought all the materials and then ed it all up it would be a fair loss of cash really lol - at least this way i guess it will last longer. plus the guy who i took it to saw a few flawes in my design which we ironed out when i was there so that's kool |

Custom job...nice! Is that still going to be cheaper than buying something from Omnirax? |

just had a look at the omnirax website and i hope so! lol :p
hoping no more than £250 GBP
my design:
took that in to the guy with all the measurements i required. only real changes he suggested was instead of having the two sliding shelves was just to have 1 that covered the area that the two cover in this picture. and also to add a light overhang on the main surface so it dont just look like a box. getting it made using Oak veneered MDF so it matches the rest of the furniture in the living room! - should be good! still waiitng for the price tho as he hasn't rang back yet at all! |

I'm not sure what your setup is like or what your longer term aspirations are, but have you considered making the space between the desk and the upper shelf support rack-mount equipment? It looks like with a few minor modifications, that desk would have 3-wide 3U racks in there.
Just a thought. |

pretty much all of the space is accounted for lol...
top shelf:
TT PC Screen TT
lower/main shelf:
CD Player Mixer CD Player
then the right hand pedistool will have my pc tower in the bottom right and above that will be a single shelf attached to the centre bit for my keyboard.
bottom left will be used for my CD's & vinyls
have left enough space around everything tho to allow for new products that may be bigger in size |
