Hiding computer nook cables and equipment


Materials: Kassett

Description: I cut the handle opening to a larger size to accommodate the cords and cables and allow for more ventilation.

Place everything in the box, close lid.

Here is a picture of the before mess and the after.

  3. Looks nice, but computers do get warm and putting them into a box to get hot in might seriously damage them in the long run.

  4. Is there an actual fire hazard or is it "merely" going to harm the computer?

  5. Arerain, do you really think she put her pc into that box? How on earth would that fit?

    If you follow the link, you'll see that it's actually just cables and cords, and if you don't, you can read the same further above ;)

  6. The desktop pc didn't morph into a laptop, but that would be cool :)

    It is only the modem, router and power bar in there. I thought of the fire hazard/excess heat thing, but it's fine. I made the hole at the back quite large to provide adequate ventilation.
