I use this computer just for my work station sense my main computer is about 10ft away and going back and forth didnt seem reasonable really all i do on this computer is watch youtube videos, light word processing, and internet research.

 

I am not really happy with my cable management on the back of the tv as my original plan was to hack open the tv and put everything on the inside but with the ultra slim tv that I bought there was just no room so I am thinking about re doing everything on the back so i looks a little nicer but as of now everything is functional so thats  a plus

I must say, I never thought I'd see a compute stick build log.

That looks really cool! I agree the wires in the back could use some cleaning up, but when it is on the wall it is barely noticeable. Nice idea!

Hey thanks lol yeah something different I agree this is what happens when I am not satisfied with the 3 roku sticks and 4 chromecast's that I have laying around

Oh yeah actually once I figure out this setup my plan is to place them around the house and 1 in the garage for working on things in the shop

 

and really i can find a few months old tvs off craiglist for around 100 bucks instead of buying a new one I scored this tv for 100 it was 2 months old and 1080p nothing wrong with it

Oh cool! Yeah it wasn't Craigslist, but I actually got a frickin' R9 290 for $170. Not a bad deal. I think if I scrounge up all of my extra parts I can get a decent PC together. Maybe just for like CNC and modeling stuff.

Yeah I am into cnc milling and my next project is  a computer/tv that is wall mounted above the cnc machine but this will use actual desktop components and possibly water cooling all set in a cnc milled oak board gunna be epic
