Computer accessories

[Stacy]

Hi all, just thought I'd share with you the little project I've started. Well I've set up a new studio space for my art and design practice and decided to style it with a Victorian era, Steampunk inspired theme. I started with my computer speakers, then went on to build a monitor housing. Next up is the keyboard and mouse before going on to create some major pieces for the walls as well as modifying the coffee machine so that people will almost fear using it.

Anyway, here's some pics of what I've got so far.

That's really cool. The monitor turned out great[cl[cl

yup dig the monitor!!! Build some new cases for the speakers! maybe round tops with the three vertical bar grilles on the front!

Nice job! Although your thoughts on the coffee machine sounded a little like Tim on Tool Time!

Hey thanks fellas, the feedback is appreciated. The speakers aren't staying, it was just to test a few techniques out before I went into full swing. I'm looking at some pluming supplies I've got laying around to build the speaker housings, with the possibility of pressure type gauges as an amp meter. Also with the coffee machine and and other small appliances I have is to experiment by rebodying them to expose the inner working, the original idea was a lab type set up which is why I thought people would fear using it. My mind is ticking over at a million miles an hour so I'm just trying to jot down all the ideas I can. I've gone into crazy mad scientist mode

I really like the monitor idea! [cl

You should post some of these in the out of the box thinking thread too!

I've just made these little speaker housings to tie me over while I build a larger powered version with sub woofer box.

I think they suit a little more.

 

[YBeNormal]

Now the speakers look right[cl[cl

 

[Neverdone]

yup, much more fitting.

 

[Dirtyrat]

Very cool look indeed!

One more piece to add is the power for the speakers, I'll replace the temp gauge with an amp meter or simply modify the face to suit.

But then again....it's always nice to know what temp your speakers are broadcasting at!!

Cool looking deal.[cl
