I have made a wooden stand for my CNC computer. Since I built the CNC, I've been using my red adjustable cart as a computer stand. This was supposed to only be temporary, but it has become somewhat permanent. I'd really like my red adjustable cart back. I began designing this computer stand as a cart on wheels that would have an inner shell wrapped by an outer piece. This would allow the inner section with the computer and monitor desk to move up and down and I could have a sitting and standing desk. But after looking at this, it seemed too complicated and I should make something simpler. My next design was to make two vertical strips that would hold a shelf for the computer and a shelf for the monitor. This was much simpler and much thinner as the new stand, computer and me have to fit between the CNC and dust collector. I also made a drawer for the keyboard that fits under the monitor desk and protects the keyboard from dust and makes the whole cabinet thinner in that area. I can pull out the keyboard only when I need it. I also made French cleats on the outside of the cabinet so I can store the various tools that I need at the CNC.
