This is not a SFW instance. NSFW communities will be tagged, and efforts will be made to keep SFW communities clean, but proceed at your own comfort level.
I actually don’t, but it’s nowhere near as impressive as you might assume lol
We picked the TV up on marketplace. Unscrewed everything that was originally inside it and disposed of that stuff. I took the plastic faux wood decor off, laid the TV over the hole where the screen was, traced it with sharpie, and cut it with a sawzaw. Now the TV is held in place by the faux wood frame on the front and nylon straps on the back.
As for the server, I took an old tower and drilled out all the rivets until all the exterior pieces were off, then I used some the loose screws from the TV guts to anchor it too the inside of the TV box.
We have little strips of fabric covered posterboard hiding the ugly areas at the top and bottom of the screen and if I ever get around to it I’ll disable the TV and wrap a full sheet if fabric around the front frame so that it transitions a little better.
Do you have a writeup with pics for the server/tv project? That sounds very very cool.
