theres only one way to know.

Yes, get some fucking timber

>>10062617
that is prob not a good idea
im not a glass expert though
im not a fucking chemist

Do it I'm an expert because I smoke glass.

>>10062617
Your safest bet would be to test the table with your own body weight.

>>10062617
The manufacturer should give the maximum weight the table can support.
25 Kg isn't that much, it should be fine.

i've actually done this to test aquarium stands

>>10062759
Did it work?

>>10062617
That doesn't really sound like a good idea anon, 55lb is a lot for a glass table. Just buy a nice wood or marble one... better yet an actual TV stand

>>10062617
It might not break the glass but it will scratch the shit out of it.

>not using a solid retro table for your retro setup

>>10063252
I live on the third story and would have to lug it up stairs

>>10062617
I have a 39kg TV on a glass TV stand and that's fine, so it stands to reason that glass is unbreakable.

I don't fuck with glass tables

>>10062617
I wouldn't do it.

>>10063487
Yup, the thing about glass is it gives you no warning. Wood will bow and show signs of stress giving you time to clear shit out before something goes very wrong. Glass meanwhile will just fail out of nowhere.

>>10062617
Don't do this. If the glass breaks (and it could happen any time) your CRT will fall through and if the tube breaks, the implosion isn't fun to clean up after. Do yourself a favor and just don't.

It's funny how one of the minor complications of using a CRT today is finding appropriate furniture to put them on now that electronics have become so small and light.

>>10063775
Fortunately I had a rolling TV stand to put my NEC monitor upon which. Not yet sure how to yet set up my old PC setup, because for which I do yet not have a space for a secondary desk which may be suitable upon which to have the PC and monitor for to place.

>>10063775
CRT monitors create strong furniture.
Strong furniture creates LCD monitors.
LCD monitors create weak furniture.
The cycle continues.

Hijacking this thread to ask, is an 80GB hard disk too big for a year 1999 computer build?

>>10063831
I don't see why that would be an issue. You could always make a smaller partition.

>>10063831
Yes/no
Wildly depends on what you're doing.
If you're doing Win98, it will be fine. Win95? No.

>>10063831
Depends on whether you care about it being period correct or not. It's way too big if you're going for that, but Windows 98 won't have any issues with a drive that size.

>>10063428
just get a few boards and some screws and angle brackets and build a shelving unit yourself inside the apartment
it'll look very plain but that's okay you're a 4chan user nobody expects you to have nice furniture
then when you're done using it one day you can just unscrew everything and put it out as trash or something, easy easy

>>10063978
This is true, Win98 is fully compatible with glass but Win95 could go either way

>>10062905
yes
that saltwater tank lasted years like that and went to a great home
i adopted out the clownfish
and got an email from a guy 7 months later
he was able to get them to pair up in a big 200gal

i've had and lost salt fish since then
it always hurts when something goes awry
but ill always remember that first clown
2006-2009

>>10063831
Yes

>>10063831
i use a 120 GB SATA SSD and it's fine
i've been meaning to fix the retarded ass DOS compatibility file system for a long time but it works alright as is

>>10062625
This

>>10062617
Yeah, don't use glass as a desk my man.

>>10068276
Did that rear support bend because the glass broke or did the glass break because that rear support was already bent?

>>10062617
Why do you need a transparent table?

>>10069127
To keep people honest.

>>10062617
Given the table is only a frame supported design the glass is likely toughened so if it breaks it'll just disintegrate. Your computer won't break it, but if you smack something on the edge or whatever it will shatter. I wouldn't do it.

>>10062629
imagine gaming on one of those bad boys

>>10069127
yu-no why

>>10062617
Just put it on the floor, you don't have carpets.

>>10063775
I went to IKEA and asked for an appropriate table and they found me one
