The NerdCart
Helping Keep Your Tech in Order & Relationship Intact

Jared has a lot of home electronics gear. Enough that it was enough of an issue between him and his wife to do something about it. And from this common dilemma was born The NerdCart, a mobile converted tool cart that now houses all of Jared's home entertainment gear, all ready to simply plug-in with an attached power strip…

 
 

When my wife got sick of my game consoles and other electronics cluttering up our tiny apartment, I needed to get them out of her way but still have them accessible. Thus, the NerdCart was born. I repurposed a tool cart to tidily hold my gaming setup, and now I can wheel my hobby behind closed doors and be ready to go by plugging in just one power strip.

Jared is offering the NerdCart as a custom built product to order. The idea of being able to hide away tech clutter is always appealing, though we ideally would like a cart that looks like the BoConcept cocktail cart, partnered with an Apple LED 24" display, Mac mini and a PS3 for a more sleek, decor complementing appeal. We're fancy like that.

I LOVE this! The color is rad, and having it all in one place that can be moved around is such a great idea.

I don't understand how this works. Do you sit in front of it like a desk, and if so, where do your knees go?

Good in theory, although I'm afraid it'd never get put wheeled away and I'd just end up having to stare at the thing in the living room 24/7

This looks like it takes up a lot more room than ps3 and 360 in the entertainment center. I don't know how you can marry someone so vehemently opposed to your interests that you have to hide them.

I definitely love this. I am thinking about how you can do this with other areas of the home... a bar cart, a craft cart, an appliance cart... all tucked away in a repurposed closet/cart room. It's sort of a modular approach to living.
