true, but mine has gotten bad. I can't find shit, and I barely have enough room to move around. Clean up is scheduled in the late fall for winter domination.

Mine will be the same soon Face, that's the beauty of it !!!

SOME MORE PICS

Finally have all the electical I need, but now I need to add holes to the benches to accommodate lighting. Also need to run the wiring and mount it attractively on the walls and or ceiling

First pic is basically the view walking into the door. You can see an orange extension cable sneaking in next to the AC. That will be dedicated to the SS and probalby not used alllll that often. The other window is filled with my power solution

The SS is on a rolling "Elf" cart with wire baskets to hold varying periphinalia (spelling??). It can roll behind and in front of each table so I can set it up anywhere, although my original plan is to do most of the benching on the table nearest the windows and AC.

To guard against any electircal issues, I've got a surge protector plugged into the wall, a TRIPP Lite APS (automatic power supply) powered by a HUGE Gel Cell Marine Battery, finally connected to my APS X1500 current controller. I originally bought the Tripp Lite and Battery to make sure none of my very valuable fish (I had about 6K in tropical fish at the time) died in the event of a power failure. The Tripp Lite and the Battery were about 1K to buy

I was originally going to put one rig on each bench, but figured that would be pretty stupid, so, I dedicated a 3 shelf unit to the monitor and my accessory carriers

a few MORE pics

First pic shows what will be the main benching table. What with the main power and the AC right there figured it was a natural. AC comes in just to the right around ceiling level. Old style case contains the old ASUS mobo with the AMD K6-2 I found while cleaning up a little.

On the benching table my 762 X58 rig in need of reinsulation, insulation of the GTX 480, and getting rid of the Noctua HSF

Next up is the P55 Classy all decked out with a 670 and F1 standards. This babies never been frozen yet, but that status won't last much longer

Finally, the ASUS REX board I picked up on e-bay with an e8600 in the socket. Once it's insulated I'll try the SS first and go from there. Have a couple more CPUs for this one too - one thanks to Buckeye

In the background is my main work bench and my main tool chest

COUPLE MORE, THEN - BEDTIME ... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Most of this has been seen in other pics, and, of course I had to insert the Battlestar

I'm keeping my pots in one wire baskets on the shelfs over the work bench, with the basket on the other side holding my meters and EVbot. Software in the middle with accessories and my giant eraser ball in the center on top.

will bring down the dewar tomorrow after getting it filled

Then, the mess will begin .....
