The ultimate shop tool - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**StingRay** · 03-10-2003, 07:03 PM

Look what I just added to my list of shop tools. I took an old 233 pentium and added a tv tuner card and soundblaster 5.1 sound card I had around. I had to make some creative modifications to the hardware and a little custom cabinetry but now I have TV/FM radio, MP3 player, CD player, AutoCad terminal, Internet and E-mail out in the garage all in one unit. I am starting back working on a cab I have had on hold for the last year and the old garage is going to be lots of fun now

cool addition to your shop Ray. Leave it to an engineer to think of that

*racedvl* · 03-10-2003, 07:27 PM

Big69C20 Toy · 03-10-2003, 07:33 PM

Alexis · 03-10-2003, 07:45 PM

Nice.....my radio fell off the shelf in my garage

. It's ok. yeah you should get one of those plastic covers for your key board, cause you know if you dont you'll get grease on it.

get an oven or grill and theres no reason to ever leave the shop!

**StingRay** · 03-10-2003, 11:02 PM

Uh I'd still be lacking one important thing seanh71, a bathroom, so for now that is still going to be a real good reason to leave. LOL

And PanelDeland I've heard of those "keyboard condoms" they keep your computers from picking those nasty viruses when people try to screw with your computer don't they

LOL

Better yet, how 'bout an old Ford gas tank?

**StingRay** · 03-11-2003, 11:49 AM

Now isn't it just like you Yahoo's here on the board to send a perfectly good thread like this to the toilet. LOL

No side door on my garage so it would be out onto the driveway or front step of the house and trust me I'd have more than the neighbors to contend with. The dogs can get away with that stuff By the time the wife was done with me I'd be sleeping in the dog house and I'd have to be puttin' a toilet and cooking facilities out there in the garage.

mtdave2 · 03-11-2003, 12:01 PM

thats a great idea! think ill do it as well... how about adding a web cam! that way we can watch ya work lol

w.p. cadet · 03-11-2003, 12:06 PM

**StingRay** · 03-11-2003, 02:07 PM

I know a guy that has a vintage Coke cooler that i'm trying to get. I just don't know if I can find room for it if I actually get it!! the garage really isn't all that big.

72shadetree · 03-11-2003, 10:30 PM

>X< · 03-11-2003, 11:44 PM

PHOENIX · 03-12-2003, 04:41 PM
