I love the new arrangement, I think this will lessen the clogging at the door. Great work and a pat on the back is due.

Thanks @Nick! Itās a work in progressā¦ I wanted to get the Design PCs moved to their new spot before our new PolyPrinter arrives. We have two 2ā x 4ā tables (like the ones already being used by Lefty and Righty) that will be put against the orange wall for Righty and Far Rightyā¦
Iāve been trying to think of a way to keep the concrete table; but, itās just too large for the room - now that we have so much equipment in there (and more coming in the next few months)ā¦
On that note: If anyone can think of a good room/area/use for that concrete table outside of the 3D Fab room, let me know! Itās awesome having a table that can handle so much torture as it gets by our Makers! I hope it can find a new home somewhere in the 'Space! 
EDIT to add: The PC that had been under the tables (and not being used) in the 3D Fab Room at the old 'Space is no longer going to be used by 3D Fab. It acts like it has an OS issue; but, the drive has been reimaged twice and problems persistā¦ So, Iām āguessingā itās a hardware issue. I have done no additional troubleshooting or diagnostics on it because quite frankly, itās not really powerful enough to be used as a design PC anywayā¦ If any committee wants to try to get it to work for any reason, let me know. Itās in the 3D Fab room near the door, if you want to plut it in somewhere in the big room (Room 1) and check it outā¦

Iād like to get it working for no reason other than to get it working. I plan to be around tomorrow probably. Can you give a description of the problem in case it isnāt immediately obvious upon inspection?

Can move the concrete table into the auto area, we need another table there now that we have some more floor space

Iām going to be at the Space in a few minutes to cut some acrylic on the laser cutter. After thatās finished Iāll probably see if I can take a look at the machine if @benemorius isnāt looking at it or has fixed it already.

I havenāt touched it.
Stopped by 3d fab to take a picture to make the thread not āworthlessā

I really like the new arrangement, the slicing computers against the window donāt have glare now and kind of block the sun. Also on the right slicing computer, I borrowed the dell keyboard from the common room until you get a replacement keyboard. That compaq keyboard is done.

@benemorius & @commandhat ā¦ Yāall are welcome to look at that PC; but, you will have to find a spot where you can set it up for a few days (and/or at the least several hours to run hardware dx on itā¦). Itās possible to get it to boot into Windows (eventually) and it will work fineā¦ for hoursā¦ or daysā¦ then it will just shut off. THEN NOT boot back into Windows - for several attemptsā¦ Untilā¦ it decides to boot up correctly again. Thatās why I thought it was an OS issue at first; but, itās been reimaged twice now; and, the same issues persist. It works āokā when it wants to work; but, itās not powerful enough to really bother using as a design PC anyway - so not really worth my effort to troubleshoot it furtherā¦
If yāall get it up and running, please post a response here just so we know; and, please also post a new thread (from the main āall categoriesā list or āOff Topicā) advising there is a PC available for use by any Committee that has a need for it. Please include the specs in that thread so the Committee Chairs know whether it will suit their needs.
Thanks!
@Brandon_Green ~ Yāall can have it! 
Iāll move the printer off of it tonight, so you can take it whenever you are ready for it!
Be aware that the top is not actually connected to the frame. Itās extremely heavy and will need to be moved in two parts - with a dolly or something that can handle the weight. Once itās in your area, itās not too difficult to move from one spot to another - just remember to have someone help and lift the frame (itās easy to forget and grab the concrete table top to try to move it a few inches/feet; but, def not a good idea - since itās not connected! 
)
Thanks and Enjoy!!!
@Brandon_Green lol
@commandhat lol 'n Thx
I was there last night and tried to get a pic; but, my battery was too low and the phone kept dyingā¦ ugh. @oyetkin saw my struggles and actually took a 360 pic of the room for me to share! (Thanks OÄuz!) I was gonna post them last night; but, blinked 'n next thing I know it was time to go to work! (lol?)
Iāll post them to add to this thread in a bit!
'n as promisedā¦
Here is a link to the interactive version of the 360 pic of the 3D Fab Room: http://360.io/kK4TaJ (kewl stuff!)
'n here are a couple stills from the same image:

Thanks again OÄuz!
'n on that noteā¦ as soon as @Brandon_Green takes the cement table out, it will begin itās next phase of transitionā¦ (ok, itās going to be in transition quite a bit over the next few weeks, as that table is taken out, then the new tables are brought in along with the new printer soon, etcā¦ 
)
Fun times!
Thanks @themitch22!
I am bringing a keyboard up tonight, as well as mice (so members have a choice between the trackball or mouse on one of the PCs. The other two will just have miceā¦).
Did we get that Compaq keyboard from you or James? (Iāve blinked since itās arrivalā¦). Iām wondering if it just seems like itās not working from getting bumped/jarredā¦ itās an old ps2 type so would probably need to be reseated and the PC restarted to bring it back to life, if thatās the case.
Iāll be putting it on the give away shelf if itās owner doesnāt want it backā¦
Thx!
