Progress report:

Your lab is looking awesome.

Cheers, cheers.

It was a lot of effort and planning, in part due to laziness and insisting on working around the sketchy Pyle rackmount powerstrip's annoying captive power cord, instead of just pulling it and the stand down like I should have. This made the whole job so much harder (and messier) than it needed to be, but I finally got (mostly) everything patched in and (mostly) functional, save for a few minor things:

It has been a long time since I had things this this put together. Mainly just need to get another power supply unit to power all my modular stuff to the left and sort out what's going on with my MIDI hub/matrix for my sound modules to the right of my PC. Hoping it's not bricked. I've mostly made peace with the nightmare of cable spaghetti draped up and down the walls behind everything.

is that a Famicom I see to the right?

It is. I have a second one just for normal use, but this one has a direct output mod and dedicated Famimimidi cartridge to accompany my MIDINES:

Truth be told, it is a better MIDI implementation overall, but the MIDINES has been with me for ages, and it has so many inexplicable/bizarre samples (1987 GI Joe animated movie, random king-fu noises... Star Trek, I think?) baked into its sample bank, I could never replace it. Eventually, I want to mod the NES for direct output also.

PS: If these images are really huge in desktop browsers, I'm sorry. Imgur decided they want to push a shitty mobile-centric experience exclusively a long time ago, and trying to remember how to modify URL's to change the size is a big hassle since they've made simply locating BBCode/resize links impossible.

Full frontal of the modular system on the left please.

Bravo on the Peavey Univerb.
Front panel menu, what a concept.

Not noise/gear-focused but close enough: built a shelf for my ever-increasing CD collection. Close-ups of shoddy jerry-rigged brackets included. And yes, I do own a few Limp Bizkit albums.

Looks nice. I've thought about making some simple board-and-bracket shelves to extend my CD shelf storage eventually. What kind of brackets are you using? They look like a good fit for CD's.

PS: I will link some photos of the modular setup eventually.

Corner brackets from Menards, 2” each. Honestly though, not recommend: the holes aren’t centered (which I understand given how thin it is but was a pain in the ass to align/drill holes for nonetheless) and as you can see I had to modify the fuck out of them anyways since Im fitting them to a now-27 year old IKEA fixture. I will say they work great structurally: I only needed the wood (poplar) to extend 6” from the wall and having 2” brackets on either side plus the width of the IKEA fixture was perfect for the job. Sturdy, too; should have no problem supporting the weight of future additions.

I'll just park this here.
