Project: Full Nerd

Recommended Posts

I know a few people on here like to play video games on either console or PC, some of them use big 1 million watt stereos and other like myself use a nice set of headphones.

 

Our TV configuration right now has plenty of drawers and cabinets but they are all full or limited on space. There is some counter space left from when we custom made the counter top/ cabinets. Here is a picture of the current setup:

And this is the location I wanted to put them but I grow tired of them just laying there, all not cool looking and all.

So after some shopping and online looking I came up with nothing until i say a banana holder in out kitchen which would work great. So I went to a few stores and found the one I like the most at Bed Bath & Beyond, stainless and very skeleton-ish so I brought it home and decided to bend the tab to work. The one I bought:

As you can see the hook wont work for the large head phone strap so I used some Xmas gifts to make it work:

Little tape to keep the metal from getting mangled ( In retrospect I should have used the tape and the blue rag because the tape tore after a few bends.)

After some elbow grease and a lot of my Wife laughing at me for doing this I finally got it were I wanted it:

And finally the money shot:

Now I am probably not the first guy to think of this idea but it was worth the little time and money I spent on it. I know I am not a professional photographer and no, there are no watermarks so steal away I guess LOL.

Whole thing would look better if the TV was mounted instead of on a stand.

 

I agree. Buy a bigger one too. Newer ones are much thinner too.

 

If you can't afford it, ditch it all together and make it a nice bar :gabe:

So where are you going to put the bananas?

 

 

Anthony keeps stealing them and I dont know were they go after that.

 

dude thats real cool I like the transformed closet!

 

It was a good idea but now I wish the closet wasnt so close to another wall.

If I did that my OCD would require me to hide the wires and its not do able. There is a floor about half way up that wall due to the house being a split level.

Looking at TVs now but I can justify a new one until this one breaks, its only like 3 years old LOL. Its not a rear projection tube TV
