Modified IKEA Ludvig laptop cabinet - Interior
For holding office backup hard drives. Intended to be hung on a wall, which is perfect.
There are holes for power/USB cords both at the top and bottom, which is what I needed. I added a cabinet lock and additional ventilation holes, and used a drawer pull I had laying around instead of the grabbing bar that came with it.
Because it is being discontinued, I got it for cheap. The only other cost I had was the cabinet lock and a 3/4" drill bit.
Total cost: $35 and about 2 hours of work (I'm a compulsive measurer, so it would have been faster if I had been a little less... particular about the drilling.)
You can see that the hole I drilled for the cabinet lock (and the ventilation holes) ripped part of the particleboard lacquer out. Nobody will see the inside except me, though, so a bit of white nail polish patched it up so it doesn't deteriorate further.
