Got Bored and Built and Ottoman

im always too tall to get super comfortable on couches. so having an ottoman is crucial to get to that next level of comfort :)

Now my main niche is building things for as cheap as possible and with things i already have if i can. So sometimes the way i go about getting the job done, could be done easier and/or better in a different manner. Im completely aware of that, but if i can go the long way around and not spend money, thats the route im going to go. here are some pics of the ottoman, ill make another post in a few days because i plan on taking it apart and lowering it a tad so ill get more details pics then!

Thanks for stopping by!

DIY : Cheap Network Drive

Converting old tech, into a new NAS

Im a pretty big cheapskate. With that being said, i ALWAYS try to find cheaper “work arounds” for solutions to problems. Especially tech problems, there is always a cheaper way. My current situation, i have a 6ft projector screen in my living room that i love, powered by a raspberry pi, that pulls from my media server that is upstairs. Media server is an old PC with 350gb HDD and a 1TB external for movie storage, both in which i depleted. So now i need more memory. and i want it cheap. i found an Apple Time Capsule on OfferUp for $30. These were discontinued years back because they just didn’t take. but they to have a 2 TB HDD integrated. So after hours spend trying to make the apple networking drive work seamlessly with ANY other OS, i made no progress. so next answer was to start taking things apart. this video will show you how to remove the HDD from an Apple Time Capsule and make it usable. My apologies my camera died before completion . but the removal is laid out here, and its pretty self explanatory after that!
