Check used furniture stores. A little drilling for wires, and some cutting with speaker cloth for ventilation and that dresser can be an attractive alternative.

I'm with the cinder block and wood guys. My parents had an old wood box that was used to ship microscopes in. I added an extra shelf with some nails and put a hole in the back for my cables. It's a little on the short side but works nicely.

The end is in sight! Gotta buckle down and get to work!

Just put the new tv on top of the old tv. That is how the classy people do it.  [laugh]

We brought home the tv a couple days ago.

It's sitting on the floor in front of the old TV [laugh]

That's the first thing I suggested but she didn't go for it

Yeah, I know.

All my equipment is off site at the moment.

This garage doesn't even have 220 in it.

Yet.

Run a cable from the stove/dryer/whatever or just trow in a new breaker and your in business in 2 hours or less. [thumbsup]

Well, I could.  And I planned that tactic out already.

The garage has a garage door opener and 3 light bulbs in it.  That's it.

I have to do it right.  Im looking at running 100 amp service to the building, putting in a 100 amp box so I can have my 220 circuit, my extra lights and an air compressor all running at once.
