Vintage computer shelves

Read in: IT 🇮🇹   EN 🇺🇸

Finally I finished assembling the vintage computer shelves I bought on Amazon! 🙂 I mounted them in my office.

I am filling them with the retro computers I have in my collection, but also with the devices and electronic boards that I design and build with my company.

So, when some customers come to my office, I can also show them some products to buy and not just vintage computers!

Initially, I bought only a couple of shelves, on Amazon. These measure 97.5 x 30 x 100 cm (width x depth x height): they fit well on the wall under the windows. I mounted them detached from the wall because, between wall and shelf, the curtains flow.

Sono costituiti da ripiani spaziati in maniera differente. I ripiani superiori ed inferiori hanno 3 spazi, più piccolini, di circa 30 cm di larghezza ciascuno (x 30 cm di altezza ed altrettanti di profondità). In questi ripiani posso inserire i computer e le console più piccole, come il Sinclair ZX81, lo ZX Spectrum, l'Atari 2600, nonché svariati accessori, ad esempio i datassette ed altro ancora.

Instead, the central shelf is divided into 2 larger spaces, of over 46 cm wide (x 27 cm in height and, as already detected, 30 cm deep), where you can insert larger computers, such as the Commodore 64, VIC20, Plus/4, Atari 600XL, 130xe, etc ...

For taller or wider monitors and computers, I can use the top shelf of the shelf.

I was thinking of painting them gray, to match them with other finishes in the office, but I noticed that they are also fine white: there are less slamming!

Subsequently, I bought a third shelf, identical to the two already purchased. Obviously, you have to make decisions quite quickly, because you know: on Amazon you do not always find the items you have previously purchased.

Infine ho optato per acquistare anche un ultimo scaffale, il quarto, per riempire lo spazio libero alla destra. Certo, avrei potuto fare l'acquisto di botto all'inizio, ma ero indeciso se riempire tutta la parete di scaffali per computer vintage oppure se lasciare spazi liberi. Inoltre, come già detto in precedenza, non ero sicuro nemmeno del colore.

Slowly, I will fill them with computers and vintage accessories!
