Yeah I put my computer up on a pedestal. Actually, I have for a long time. Check out my first one from years ago when I first started my woodworking journey, haha. MDF, split from screws with no pre-drilling, nothing quite lines up, runs in the paint, saw marks everywhere.
I think I've come a long ways!
I actually made this for a reason. I needed the computer case to sit to the right about 1/4" because the top of my computer tower was hitting a support on the underside of my desk, which made it lean to the side a bit. This new one fixes that by overhanging the desk feet a little... and looks a heck of a lot better too.
The project started with a 9-inch resaw on my bandsaw. I had some 1-1/8" stock I cut into two 1/2" boards. Gotta be happy with that on a Grizzly 14" saw!
I added ventilation holes in the sides for the external hard drive that lives down there, and threw on a few corbels for fun. I found the feet in my stash of extra parts from various furniture items over the years. I had some matching T-nuts I drilled and glued into the underside of the box for them - they can be screwed in or out to adjust height or level.
I like it. Maybe it will inspire some others. C&C always welcome :)
Leaves you with a useful storage for drives, and other tender bits, and they have good airflow. Looks like it would work fine, and look good. Certainly finer work than the first version.
