holy cow! its like a bomb shelter
Pretty sweet. Mount a peephole on the door and and air conditioner somewhere and your g2g. Does it get hot in there from your body heat and the lcds?
hehe nice, now you can hide from everyone ;)
also put a sign on the door that says "no girls allowed" :)
Your wife must be the most understanding woman ever lol.
Nothing feels better than building stuff.
put the computer inside and it'll double as a sauna
put a sign girls allowed <16, >20
Add ventilation fans, an internal lock and minimal internal lighting you'll have an "anti-wife" cave!!
I love the wedding photos stacked on top. LOL
Make one for me? I'll pay shipping! Although I don't know where I'll put it.
Very nice desk and idea.
I love it! ---
lol, wow.
Just cut a hole in the chair and mount a bucket under it and you're all set!
Need a sign on a the door "DND, doing.... stuff" :cool:
You are so going to cook. Noticed enough space to the left where you could mount an optics, just run a straw to the mouth :D. Hmm, maybe a wow carpentry forum in the pipeline;).
Thanks for all the feedback guys. i had the idea few years ago just never went through with it. It does have an internal lock and as you can see im pretty thin so i dont get that hot inside. however i do plan on putting in a fan. As far as the wife is concerned she likes it. it puts me back upstairs where i can still be social while i play. i do plan on painting it and making it look more like a real piece of furniture or whatever. Any ideas are appreciated though. i still gotta tweak the part where my keyboard sits. it folds up and the leg folds in so i can get in and out easy.
Guessing you live in EU, the land of notably more compact housing... personally I wouldn't fully enclose anything like that, but I'm 6'2" and 350lbs, big guys don't like small places!
I do like that when finished it will allow you to have the mancave gear without the mancave wiring sprawl being out and visible to the entire front room!
I would be afraid to have a desk like that, I'm pretty positive my wife would find a way to lock me inside and disconnect the computer, till I mowed the lawn :P
this makes you a closet boxer then ? :))
great Idea, but I doubt that the social things work, when you are in a boss fight and your wife starts talking to you .... been there, done that, dumped her after a wipe.... :)

patent pending the computer case office space..... watch out dragons den
You could always get your fan in there put sheetrock on the outside make it match the walls then make a folding seat on the outside of it so it looks like a wall with seats on it lol. That way when you have company over it lloks like it belongs there and no one calls you weird for having that there.
Brilliant.
I would paint it and add some lights, maybe a few custom fans and make it look like a huge computer case.... seriously, make it a big ass computer case you sit inside and play. woot...
you get +5 man points for that and another +3 cause the wife likes it.!
awesome ,
now get 4 more so u can 5-box it :p

I like it, all you should actually do is build some fan ducting connect it to your regular AC in the house and your set, maybe get some stuff in there so that it does not make that much noise out or in in other words noise canceling. Of course if your wife ever wanted to get rid of you she could lock you in and you would be done. All she have to say is he was multiboxing and must of died in there, I was out with the kids shopping lol.
It's actually the best way to tame an aggro wife.Quote:
