OK, so who's tired of stopping in the middle of a project, having to go inside, wash your hands, refer to some electronic document or website, and then return to the garage to continue working (hopefully not forgetting what you just read). I know I was, so this simple yet utilitarian PC was the answer to my problem. All these pictures depict is a computer that has been taken apart and reassembled on my garage wall. Internet access is made possible through a data drop pulled through my storage room. I built a hinged keyboard tray with corresponding hinged braces that can be lowered out of the way when not being used. I only have to secure the keyboard to the tray purchase a trackball that will also be secured, and find a keyboard plastic overlay that can be washed to finish this project off.

Wow Tom, that medical keyboard is something else. I had in mind those keyboard covers you always see when you're at a mechanics shop...only thing is I'll probably have to buy it with a keyboard. Guess I'll just look on ebay. _________________ 2000 Trans Am WS6, 1993 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4, 2003 Yamaha YZF-R6
