Before - the Mess!

So here was the problem, after ditching my TV in favour of a projector, I had to relocate my cable box and surround sound equipment - the only real space I had was with my PC, and as you can see it was a bit of a mess!

I done the usual googling to see what was available in terms of shelving, but nothing would really fit the bill with it being quite a strange space at a fireplace end - I also needed to retain somewhere to use my keyboard and mouse.

Remembered the book case in the bedroom, some relocation of books and some measuring and i was good to go

Butchering the Bookcase

Back of the bookcase removed and then the top and the bottom cut off (using a jigsaw) to the same "height"

Some cheap straight metal brackets to secure the two halves together

Finished and in Situ

Covered the bookcase and one of the shelves with wood effect white sticky back vinyl - one re-purposed book shelf, simple and quick!
