Garage PC
OK, so who's tired of stopping in the middle of a project, having to go inside, wash your hands, refer to some electronic document or website, and then return to the garage to continue working (hopefully not forgetting what you just read). I know I was, so this simple yet utilitarian PC was the answer to my problem. All these pictures depict is a computer that has been taken apart and reassembled on my garage wall. Internet access is made possible through a data drop pulled through my storage room. I built a hinged keyboard tray with corresponding hinged braces that can be lowered out of the way when not being used. I only have to secure the keyboard to the tray purchase a trackball that will also be secured, and find a keyboard plastic overlay that can be washed to finish this project off.

Get the hell out of here man. That is GREAT! I'm sure you are trying to do this project on the cheap, but this would totally complete it.

Wow Tom, that medical keyboard is something else. I had in mind those keyboard covers you always see when you're at a mechanics shop...only thing is I'll probably have to buy it with a keyboard. Guess I'll just look on ebay.

Haha, hell yea!
If I had a garage, I'd totally do it. You should build a Plexiglas box around the mobo. Get some LED's as well...
