Show Us Your Rig [4]

[linnemeyerhere]

Damn that's a killer desk rig. I really like how the mobo just sits there and looks to be a cinch to do complete or partial upgrades. This gives me some idea's for a far off future set up with my glass desk and return unit!

Boohbah, don't do that, I do not need any more crazy ideas, it is already bad as it is!
I've never ever seen anything cooler.
Definitely in my projects list.

Thanks for sharing,

Your rig is just flat outa-sight ! You've worked very hard and all of it has really paid off. Great job and yes more pictures would be welcome anytime !

Thank you very much Alan!

Will take some good pics when I find the time.

Cheers,

J

My wife said it looked like an Air Traffic Controller's desk. LOL
I've never seen anything like it. "WOW" is an understatement.

Wheel bearing from his garden tractor. :roflmao:

 

[Lady Fitzgerald]

Naw, it's definitely the outer front bearing from an old VW bug.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

My guess is it's a bearing off a large ship, maybe a prop bearing. New South Wales......Ship building?

 

[Lady Fitzgerald]

I've seen truck bearings that big.

Yep something special that one my son got it when he was doing his auto apprenticeship and I think it came out of a large mining truck or loader axle or even a gearbox shaft I'll ask him and let you know. (There is a huge open cut / underground gold mine locally)

But it is perfect I have those rubber pads stuck on the bottom and the top to stop scratching and sliding not that it slides very much a it weighing in at nearly 10kg (about 22lbs)

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Ah yes earth moving equipment would get this large. Actually have a dear friend in Australia and buying and selling mining equipment is his bag. That's quite a chunk of hardened steel there !

 

[Lady Fitzgerald]

The ultimate paperweight.

The ultimate paperweight.

Or boat anchor too.

Here's some pics of my setup.

Picture with the "monitor" is an older one, but the setup now is pretty much the same as that.

Pictures of the box are new.

Not much of a show piece, I'm afraid, but it does the job well.

Hey don't put yourself down mate I like it cos it is nice and neat and simple mind you I would be getting the case standing on a piece of board or some sort of flat surface instead of the carpet. mate. Personally I don't like floor level stuff too much crud down there even if it is only the 50,000 dead skin cells you shed a day LOL!! (depending on how big you are of course LOL!!

Oh and what is that about linking??
