My library
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2025 2:20 am
I built my library book cases, 5 of them years ago, so they wrap around the room, 38 inches wide each. they go from the floor almost up to the ceiling. The evolution of the library room is this, it is also my internet room, as none of my working areas are on the internet for security, and it has a bench for working on computers and fixing and maintaining my raid arrays. But now that I am adding a work center, just for my work in geometry, I need just to set up a library and work bench computer area so as not to interfere with my project or internet areas, so, the Dell Precision computer, will be used for that, It will be compact and efficient. the remaining wall has a bench with guitars hanging above on the wall.
I have ordered a few things to bring the T3400 more up to date, primarily a usb 3.2, 2x2 interface card as usb 2 does not cut it. I also ordered a bay encosure that holds both 3.5 and 2.5 sata drives along with two usb ports which will also plug into the usb card, making a total of seven added ports, two of them usb c. Unlike most computer of the time, the T3400 takes at least up to 4tb Sata drives internally, so I have the operating system on an SSD along with some muscle in drive memory.
It will be nice, but I have and will continue to toss out old junk to make it work.
