Savings account it all, keep living on the budget I already do except I spend half of the interest.

Why not just use brick or stones or something.

That's harsh, it was a beautiful card.
And I have no idea, but I imagine some very precise soldering.

Have you tried cleaning out the PSU first? It might just be dust fucking with the fan to make it make that noise.

Make sure it fits through your door, or at the very least can be disassembled into something which can.

You can get a desktop mill, but not a huge one.

>>322186
No reason to get a new one, just get a new laser and solder in a new hard drive. Anything SATA works. Use the old laser to burn shit.

What doesn't work about it? Fixing it might be an option.

I have a seven foot ceiling

I would hope he doesn't move it, but people have done more idiotic things.

>>322126
You can make it move, and it's feasible, but don't expect to get any good sounds while it's moving.

>>322119
Those aren't feasible with low ceilings or an active sex life.

Not OP, but you're damn right. I learned CAD and how to make toolpaths in high school. Not worth the effort for anything you could 3d print.

>Design something simple on the fly as I build
It's not an issue of intelligence, it's an issue of artistic talent. The mechanism is easy; making the desk not look like shit is hard.

>>321956
I'm honestly considering it. It's really an issue of how much your time is worth. I would love to have one, but how long would it take for me to design it myself and have everything laid out nicely?

Plastic wrap, some two liter bottles, a couple matches, a heat gun, and a board with some holes in it.

Watching this thread for great justice

It works fine, and I can drop my heftiest textbook on it without it collapsing. I have a couple extruded-v shapes underneath which connect to the wall, to give it some structure.

Any practical uses of the duct tape cover? I can understand the wood, and am considering upgrading it when I get the chance.

Poor, in college, needed a desk to study on.
Cardboard and duct-tape only. Already had everything I used. Opinions?

If your toothpaste is a plain white, try filling it with that.

I thought this was some sort of terrible beard/time graph, until I read your post.

It would be cheaper to just buy a new, matte black keyboard than it would be to paint it properly. If you are insistent on the paint though, here's what you'll have to do...

1. Disassemble the entire keyboard
2. Sand every single key, as well as any other part of the keyboard you'll be touching, lightly with fine sand paper (I suggest around 300 to 400)
3. Prime the damn thing black with an actual primer
4. Spray paint the damn thing black with actual spray paint
5. Spray paint it again with another layer of black
6. (Optional: will improve the survivability of the paint, but make it less matte) Spray it with a matte varnish
