I’ve got a TV cabinet I almost like, for flat pack particle board it’s not too bad, it’s got several metal components which is interesting. It has a pillar that the TV mounts to instead of setting it on the little hummingbird feet flat panels come with now.
I have my old computer in there. What was my desktop PC for several years, a little ITX build in a Fractal Node 202 case. It looks like a TiVo. It’s all been kind of janked together, I thought I would get everything set up the way I like it.
Aaaand the computer doesn’t fit in the slot I wanted to put it in because the back is set forward for what I have to guess is cable management space. Except there’s absolutely no provisions for cable management except a big hole into the area I guess they think you’re going to put game consoles and DVD players in?
So the computer does actually have to sit on the tabletop like a big charcoal grey tumor.
I did get the UPS hooked up though.
It doesn’t work that way in this case because of how the cabinet is built. The pillar that supports the TV is bolted to the middle of the back wall. It’s not as simple as just drilling some holes.
I’ve got half a mind to remake that cabinet with real wood and real joinery sized a little less dumb. But it’ll be awhile.
