Finally made a bracket for my little mixer to keep it safe and accessible.
Spilled the bong a few nights ago here at the computer and had the mixer next to my keyboard (so I can quickly adjust the sound as I checkout youtube music since so few seem to know about Line Level that every vid has a wildly different volume level...).
Anyways, over went the bong directly towards my new little mixer and I thought it was done for (I always click into Bullet Time mode when disaster seems eminent, but I knew if I grabbed for it there would be bong water EVERYWHERE and I might ruin other things nearby. The mixer "only" cost me $43, vs buying a new LCD monitor, etc) .
Thankfully, the neck of the bong rested on my computer keyboard, preventing it from tipping over all the way, and it rolled the opening away from the mixer so the water that spilled hit the desktop next to it (I heard some sizzling as some water came in contact with a heatsink inside the mixer on the bottom, but it wasn't deep enough to fry it).
So after I cleaned things up I decided to zip-tie it to a support post on the computer desk next to the monitor, up and away from any moisture.![Wink ;-) ;-)](/styles/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
But it made it pain to get to the control knobs.
I had added an oak 1"x2" post to the forward edge of the computer desk for added support of the top shelf, so I came up with a bracket made of sheet metal for the mixer and screwed the bracket to the post, then zip-tied the mixer in place so it won't go anywhere.
Will never have to worry about bong water spillage or spilling a soda pop on it now!
