Title: My new old computer center.
Post by: wolfter on September 11, 2012, 09:47:30 pm: I have a solid cherry entertainment center that I had custom built several years ago (before flat screens became readily available). He was a master craftsman and built it perfectly to my specs. I could close it up and not have to look at a hideous tv screen. I'm not a big tv person. Well, I no longer needed this pice of furniture but needed to do something with it. I think it turned out pretty well.

And when I'm done, I can close up all the clutter. I built the insert and added sliding shelves for the computer and printer. I also built the little side table as a complete work station.

Guess I'm busted. I actually needed the magnifying part of it during my blindness but now find it quite useful for primping. I should have removed that before taking the picture. Don't want to loose my masculine manly man status. ;D

Make sure that cabinet isn't heating up if you got medicine in there.

My room is always cold, I continue to suffer overheating very easily so that's not a problem. Guess I didn't realize how obvious that medicine shelf is. I might make that a pull out shelf also.

These entertainment centers were constructed with the thought of flat screens. My new flat screen looked really goofy in it so I had no choice to mount it on the wall.

I went to Best Buy the other day for a computer part I needed and they had some really nice ones for 229.00 and they were 32 inch screens. I bought one two years ago for upstairs and its hdtv ready and I have had no issues.

Very first thing that drew my eye as well.
