Re: My home office setup nice setup... good to see so many towers, yet so little exposed cableage
and I like the counters... looks like overkill construction, my favorite kind! 
one question, aren't you concerned about the MDF getting damaged by a sweaty cold beverage or an accidental spill, or does it have a finish on it, just not showing up in the photos?

Bowling Green, OH | I know this is a sin to most, but I don't keep drinks by my machines since the kitchen is so close That way if one of 3 wild animals jumps up, there will be less chance off spillage... Yes, I for sure over built everything, but I had to make sure that if I ever run across some old SCSI cdrom towers or mammoth rack mount servers, I had a strong enough table. Plus it was so cheap to build and I since I used nuts and bolts I can take it apart and reuse it. But I think I will do things a little different when I move out in the summer... I really would like to build some meta racks, but wood works so well... Maybe I'll add a little paint next time. What do you all think? Go with more wood next time and be creative or find some metal stuff? Thanks in advance!

well, unless you got a metal shop handy, go with wood all the way
i've built nearly all my office & workshop furniture (shelves, desks, tables, benches) ... havent gotten into chairs or fine finish work like I'd use in my dining or living room
for a cheap cover on the mdf, you could get some 1/8" melamine laminate and just tack it on there instead of gluing it fully ... 4'x8' sheets are like $6 around here, water proof and tuff as nails

Bowling Green, OH | Agreed! Good call with the melamine laminate, I'll have to run to my local wood place and see what they have... Does anyone know of a site that has good building prints of shelves and computer related setups? thanks!
