Space Saving Computer Monitor and Folding Desk Idea

This is for all those folks that just can't find the perfect spot in their rooms or homes to place a desktop PC with monitor.

In my room I have but one wall that could allow a desk but that wall is being used by my projector. I could still place a desk but the monitor would get in the way of the projection and I sure as heck don't want to mess with wires and moving a monitor out of the way every time I want to watch some TV.

Anyway. Two pictures are worth 500 words each :)

Step 1 What you'll need.

Now that you have a general idea of what this project is trying to achieve, and if you can envision a need for something like this, here are the steps.

Materials needed:
1 8-12inch outdoor T-hinge. ($8)
1 1.5-2inch butterfly screw. ($.50)
1 fold-down desk. ($29 IKEA)
A few drywall screws.
Possibly 1 lamp that can clip to the desk. ($11 Office Depot)
And you'll need to locate a monitor that uses screws to secure itself to the bottom of its base.

Tools needed:
Drill.
Tap for threading metal.
