Step 1Attach nail

Attach nail
I had an old computer case which would not hold the new ATX board. Rather than throw it away, I put it up on the wall so that at least some of my junk can be kept off the floor.

The first step is to hammer a nail into the wall. I was not allowed to, but luckily there were two nails already in that wall. So I decided to do a hanging shelf on a single nail. To hold it steady sticky tape was fixed to the wall at strategic locations. This helps the shelf stay in place even when loaded unevenly.

I think it is a good concept however you could make it better by putting a door / window on the front so you can close it. That might make it look a bit neater aswell :)

I don't know. It almost looks like you just wanted Instructable #3000 pretty bad. ;>) But, that's gotta be worth something, so I went ahead and bumped your saltwater cirtcuit-etching up a plus. Your EOW Initiator was a close second. Hey, if you're feeling froggy sometime, checkout my instructable collaboration on the new "hand" keyboard.
