2 Sweet Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 I'm surprised this thread doesn't already exist on here. We're all car guys so I bet there's a lot of cool pics we have to show. Garages, basements, whatever. My garage is small and my man cave is even smaller but I'm always looking for cool ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 I have no man's cave and my 2-car garage is bursting at the seams with 3 cars stuffed in it, nothing to write home about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you have a 2-car. Mine is a single, 10x23. Both my garage and my man cave are small, cramped, and look like a 1990's NASCAR-themed sports bar, more or less. PS, I don't care much for the term "man cave" but can't think of anything better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 My garage has a bunch of junk and 3800 crap in it. The garage is junk and falling apart anyways. Nobody wants to see that crap here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cstmg8 Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Cool thread idea. I'll grab some pics of my current junk, I've made due with small spaces for 6 years, but we move on the 23rd. I'll definitely keep an eye out for good ideas/use of space. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGGU Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 That battle station looks awesome! What are the PC specs? That case is bigger then my student debt. Its an old PC now by 4-5 years maby older. I built this when DDR4 was just released. Caselabs SMA8 Case Gray/Black two tone Asus Rog Rampage V Edition 10 Intel i7-5930K Quad channel Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR4-3000Mhz 32gb 512GB Samsung 950 Pro M2. PCIe Gen 3 3x WD Black 1TB in Raid 1 (SSD backup and "Slow" storage) EVGA Titan X (Maxwell) Hydrocopper(founders edition with Hydrocopper Firmware + Hydrocopper waterblock) Antec AX1200i + Custom sleeved cables Alphacool ut60 420 (4 120mm fan) Alphacool ut60 580 (4 180mm fan) 2x Alphacool Eisbecher 250 MM res 2x EK Xtop revo D5 pump (PWM) BitsPower Full cover CPU block E22 16mm Acrylic Hardline Asus PG258q 240hz monitor Logitech G710+ keyboard BenQ Zowie EC2-b moust BenQ GSR+ mousepad This was my practice run doing custom PSU cables and sleeve. I learned alot and in the sim rig it came out 100% better. Here is the Sim PC. What's the Howard Stern mic setup for? You doing podcasts? Just standard gaming and what not. I cant stand mics on headphones and with the mic on my desk it would pick up a ton of sound from the desk itself since its metal/ wood on top. I also never posted my network rack which is hidden in another room Rital 24u Rack enclosure Surfboard modem Ubiquiti Edgerouter X- SFP Ubiquiti Edgeswitch Lite 24port Raspberry Pi 3 (Ubiquiti controller and Pihole DNS server/ web block) Apple Time Capsule 3tb for Mac automated backups Tripplite smart PDU (for remote monitoring and power control of each port) TRIPP LITE SmartPro SMART2200SLT UPS I am actually about to replace the edgerouter with a Palo Alto PA-220 firewall here soon and I am going to re do alot of my wiring to make it neater.

2 Sweet Posted March 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Here's my garage when I moved in. Nothing in it..... http://i.imgur.com/UJTZ1i5h.jpg I didn't see the point in adding drywall/insulation to the unfinished walls, so once I got everything situated, I broke down some pallets and "dressed up" the bare wall..... http://i.imgur.com/EOkTAkZh.jpg Got a couple TV's out there..... http://i.imgur.com/NE8SGRKh.jpg Not much space to work with, but it's better than nothing..... http://i.imgur.com/Zj3Bus9h.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstmg8 Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Nice! Great use of the space. We should add an extra section to cr for people's garage/shop builds/journey. Great to see ideas from others. I have so many questions right now about my build. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiji ST Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 This was my cave until my daughter came along. Still got to keep my big TV. And the bar of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstmg8 Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Got a little more work done on the garage today. Still a lot to do, but getting there. I have two more shallow cabinets to hang that will be partially covered by the tv. I have too much junk, but it's already nice to have more space, especially with woodworking tools in the basement shop.

Didn't fit well in the new family room, and is only 1080p. Picked up a nice Sony 65 for the house, so.... New garage TV!

cstmg8 Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Cut a section out of a stainless steel elevator door I replaced at the Crowne plaza, and finished off the center of my workbench. Makes for a nice cleanable surface. I still have a lot of organizing to do out there. I can get these doors occasionally if anyone is interested in a decent stainless bench top.
