DIY coffee table for computer geeks – 4 creative ideas

Although most of us prefer to hide our geek sides at home, we still appreciate the ingenuity it takes to create a piece of furniture that somehow reminds us of a nerd. A DIY coffee table seems to be the easiest way to prove your loyalty, be it to computer games, processors or LED. Below we show you the most impressive examples that reflect the interests of the owners.

When his Intergraf 6880 stopped working, the proud owner of this interesting variant decided to reuse its parts as design elements, including the motherboard, as well as a whole host of other parts that would otherwise be destined for the landfill. The whole thing is made of computer parts and two tables. The inner table supports all the computer parts, circuit board and drives from an old Intergraf 6000 series from the late 80's and early 90's, while the other on the outside serves as the outer frame for the table. There was glass on all sides, as wellAdded LED lights. “I learned computer simulation, graphics and animation on the Intergraf 6880 and consider it my mentor,” says the owner and builder of the table.
