People were asking me what I’m doing these days.
I’m going to open a new cybercafé here in Mexico and designed the workspace for a customer.

It doesn’t look difficult but as I write this, the workshop is starting to make some parts already.

Looks neat! You should upload some photos when it's done!

I will start to shoot photos before I begin too, so you can compare it. Believe me its ugly now.
Bad thing is that I’m short on cash; I can’t directly make the place like I want.

This design is relatively cheap, about 35 US$ for each customer place smile.gif. The base is made out of black spayed metal square tubes welted together. the tube behind the screen will hold the monitor and headset cables inside so you only will see the mouse and keyboard cables coming out of the desk beside that tube. The tube it self is made again out of iron, painted black and finished with a high gloss transparent paint to make it scratch proof and looks like it came directly out of the shop. All this I do myself, less the welding it together (I have no tools for it, nor can I weld that good). The desk it self is made out of wood panel with a scratch resistant topcoat in blue and black nylon edges...

I could have added the wires but I thought it would not add that much information to the picture. By the way, there will be a 54Mbit wireless network in combination with a LinkSYS WRT54GL. Zxian will help me to setup the router; firmware and some tips´n´tricks newwink.gif.

It seems I’m going to open my new place in 3 weeks.
Before that I will render the whole place again. newwink.gif

All goes slowly, but I think I can send some real pictures in some weeks biggrin.gif. I didn’t have time to render more images; I’m building the place up now smile.gif.

Sad news... things are going along slowly... Must be Mexican style I think confused.gif. I went to the workshop to see how the furniture was coming along and after 1.5 months they made exactly... nothing... *cries*...

Well, I tried, but the sad thing is that NO ONE works here in December. People just get lazy and only look for the holydays and there "hidalgo" (like a 13th month payment). This week I will get the metal bases and the cut wood panels in, so on Saturday or Sunday the furniture will be finished by my self biggrin.gif.

I still have to get a digital camera to take some pictures how I build it up. I would be glad to post them here newwink.gif.

Furniture frame painted with a special paint mix containing 45% paint, 45% thinner and 10% paint hardener.
This paint contains also a substance to get a mate finish.
The idea was to get an industrial look, it worked out well newwink.gif.



These tubes will be used as the monitor stands;
the small tube on top of the monitor stand will be used to hang the headphones,
the base plate of 120*120mm is a VESA 100 mount and will be attached directly to the screens.
