Custom Multimedia Console


Materials: EXPEDIT + 1 board + metal reinforcement + fixing material

Description:
How to build a cheap console (less than 200 euros including 85 euro Ikea furniture) to put
- one video projector
- one multimedia amplifier
- two surround speakers
- one STB
- two video-game consoles

with three constraints:
- no visible wire
- wallpaper behind should still be visible
- people should say "it doesn't fall"?



1st step: make a scheme with respect to your wall length and height.
The whole illusion is based on the horizontal wood board on the floor which has to be reinforced with some metal

2nd step: assemble all elements horizontally on the floor having in mind that you need very long screws because agglomerated is very soft especially in horizontal direction

3rd step: get some help to get all vertical, with the soft agglomerated, you should push all elements together else screws will snatch

4th step: add some decoration like colored LEDs and flowers

  3. 1) why are all kinds of wires visible, then?
    2) it doesn't make me say "why doesn't it fall," it makes me say "i wonder why that guy stacked a bunch of crap haphazardly, and then screwed it all together."

  5. Looks funny, you have some crazy ideas!
    My first reaction was, "why? What for?" I suppose is a matter of taste and design. But is not my "style" at all.
    Still, well done, you manage to built according to your plans.

  13. It's certainly different, but it looks like the only supports between the pieces are hinges... I wouldn't place anything heavy on it. Definitely not my PS3 or anything of value.

  15. I like the clean simplicity of ikea shelving. This just looks like a thrown together mess. Guess its not for me.

  16. I feel like calling it a MM Console w/o a television in site defeats function here. Form is definitely different... and it looks VERY cool lit up.'

    It's like Vegas, ugly with the sun out, gorgeous when the night comes. =p

  17. Dont look that bad, the idea ist great,
    but maybe it looks better if there would be less mess around it, like the flowers in one of the boxes, and a wall behind it with only one colour...

  18. why would anyone want that wallpaper to still be visible?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Wow, people are really being jerks on here. No need to insult the guy! He's not forcing you to have it in your living room!

  20. This is the strangest thing Ive ever seen....

  21. Why people take the time to be negative and post insults on a website that by it's nature is intended to share creative ideas baffles and disgusts me. This hack requires skill which is probably beyond many people's technical abilities as well as their imagination. I can't see you possessing much of either if you can't even take responsibility for your statements and instead hide behind anonymity. Regardless I think this is a fantastic and unique idea.
