    I actually really like the reception desk and the wood panelling behind it in the entry area, actually really nice looking. Should see if you can save it by moving the desk backwards or something .
    Can't be called geekPUB without turning the desk into a bar with sine optics on the wall behind it... Perfect for meet up and events 👌

    • @marcusjay8103
      @marcusjay8103 3 года назад +2

      Some nice comfy seating with tables and a really cook "GeekPub" neon sign, but if not a legit neon, they now do really nice looking LED 'Neons' in any shape/size/colour.
      Would be such a cool welcome and hangout spot. And avoid eating and drinking around all your expensive 'museum' equipment.
      Put a nice black tint on the windows with some really nice LED's under the desk/bar ledge with some nice vintage lamps scattered on the tables with the fancy looking decorative Edison bulbs for some warm, welcoming atmosphere.
      Could be such a killer spot for meet ups, couple of old arcade or pinball machines in the area too
      Just my 2¢ ✌️

    I've done the hanging patch panel a couple of times at work when leaving offices. Not gonna rip out the patch panel or anything since they're cheap and that'd be a bit of a jerk move for the next tenant, but but definitely taking the rack itself.
