Circuit Board Table



What's this you may ask?

A nerds living room table, I would reply solemnly.

Yes that's right, this is a table made out of circuit boards. In fact it's 2 tables, as there is one on the inside to actually hold the circuit boards. All the boards you see come from the makers very first computer! It's made up of boards/drivers from old Integraph 6000 series machines built in the 1980s and 90s. Probably because they had huge boards.

Looking at it, there's no real pattern to the table, what I want to know is, how he managed to get all the boards and drivers to stick together, it looks like one of those impossible mazes/puzzles. He also managed to get the LED lights to go all the way around the sides of the table, so it looks really cool! He even wired it so that it automatically turns on when it gets dark!

This obviously took a lot of effort and props to the guy (nerd) that made this, and it's also a really good way to keep around your old computer if you still have them. And of course a lot of knowledge in electrical engineering. I'd stay well away otherwise.

If you still keep your old computer, tell me why in the comments below! This guy kept his old computer because he learnt very early computer modelling, rendering and animation on it, and it's almost like his 'mentor'.
