andyman Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Sup whales.I'm in the process of planning an Expedit mod from Ikea.Here is my first drawing:Should cost around the $200 mark using:http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/30185484http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/20049538http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/50173654 (to mount top shelf)http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/00179875Thoughts, opinions?I'm using this as a workstation for my CDJ's and Mixer, with monitors going on the shelf, and my dj bag, record player, records, etc, going in each of the 8 compartments.

Gandy Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 oh something my servants must know about then, seeing as i live in a castle with a moat and im a multi billionare according to cupe Quote
andyman Posted June 17, 2011 Author Posted June 17, 2011 Stop derailing my thread you fucking whales. Quote
andyman Posted June 17, 2011 Author Posted June 17, 2011 More talk about my proposed idea, less about "chicken feed" Quote
Jaz Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 so what are you up to on the weekend Gandy? nah ok back on topic, ive got my monitors (soon to be PA speakers) on a floating shelf like you have pictured andy, when you get the brackets make sure you get some fuckin heavy duty sons of bitch's because you wouldnt want the WHALE to colapse in the middle of the night...i just bought the biggest 1's i could from Bunnings, cost about $30 for 3, they are supporting 30kg at the moment but it will be close to 40 soon Quote
andyman Posted June 17, 2011 Author Posted June 17, 2011 Thanks dude.I'm just gonna get a pair of these ( https://www.storedj.com.au/products/BEH-B1030A ) for now I think, so they should hold quite comfortably. Quote
Jaz Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Thanks dude.I'm just gonna get a pair of these ( https://www.storedj.com.au/products/BEH-B1030A ) for now I think, so they should hold quite comfortably.oh you wont have to worry about it as much then, they only weight 5KG each so just some standard brackets will do the job easy Quote
andyman Posted June 17, 2011 Author Posted June 17, 2011 So these puppies should hold?http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/50173654I cant wait to make this thing.It's gonna look amazing!Might even put led lights under the bench top Quote
Jaz Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 yeh definitely, if they cant hold 10KG whats the fucking point of them Quote
andyman Posted June 17, 2011 Author Posted June 17, 2011 yeh definitely, if they cant hold 10KG whats the fucking point of themTrue that.Can anyone recommend some small, but effective lights I can mount under the top shelf shine a bluey colour over my decks? Quote
Jaz Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 only thing i could find, there are heaps of neon lights n shit but they are all for cars n shit so no house hold plugthis has a house plug though, just screw the WHALE to the underside of the shelfhttp://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RED-PLASMA-N ... 781wt_1139 Quote

Mattye Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Can anyone recommend some small, but effective lights I can mount under the top shelf shine a bluey colour over my decks?Dude have a look at that light rope stuff everyone uses at christmas.Also hit up JCar. They should have some decent priced lights. Quote
Jaz Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 does that shit just come with a household plug on it? Quote
andyman Posted April 3, 2012 Author Posted April 3, 2012 Le bump.Heading down to Ikea tonight.Gonna have a crack at this, but I'm just gonna get the 2 x 2 expedit, and legs initially.Will just use the surround sound in my room for now, and will add a top shelf for monitors/laptop when I feel the need and have a bit moar cash.
