If you merely wants to build a desk out of it, I suggest you get a Power Mac G5. The form factor is practically the same, get two of those for less than 700 ringgit if you know your ways to source them out.

Really? Where can I find two of those babies. I've been finding here and there, eBay and all. About 200usd? Unless I've been blind

it is a pretty short table.
too short for desk.
too tall for coffee table.
dimensions just weird, lol.

aiming for a bedside table actually. If that doesnt work out, i'll build an extender at the bottom of the base. like have the two cases enclosed in a wood/glass combo, Something like the Alex drawer from Ikea, with the same dimensions

i'll probably cut the case open and make it into a drawer or drawers. and use a thin wire mesh to fill up the already mesh like holes.

dust would be the least of my worries haha
