I just got a new computer and needed to get it off the floor and into a cabinet. After careful measurement, I determined that the FF opening was exactly 20 inches and my CPU 'box' was around 18.75 inches.
OK. I'm starting to cipher. I want a full extension tray so I can get to all the cables when I need to (a definite step up from before). Went to the BORG and bought a pair of 100#'s.
Got to thinking. If I lay these babies on their sides (with the drawer side "up") it would only take about a half-inch of cherished vertical height.
Plus, it a piece-o-cake install.
Thought some more...but would the pair support
100# in that orientation (CPU ? 50lb).Hmmmm. Don't think so.
IIRC, Norm did something similar when he built a kitchen island with 'recycling bins' a few years ago.
Anybody ever try this?
Opinions?
Thanks.
Lou
