Maybe just because its more enjoyable to try and +picture my ideal lab than it is to puzzle through other people's cryptic +theories. That's also fun, but I burn out faster :p. Anyhow, we put in some +nice tables today with shelves and racks to get the Nanoscope controller & +computers up out of the way. I'm looking forward to cluttering up all the new +empty space ;). + +I think it would be cool to have a lab with most everything suspended from the +ceiling. You could route all the supporting cables over to a line of cleats or +belaying pins running down one wall. Then you could set up your experiment +with plenty of space in the center of the room, lowering whatever setup +equipment you needed down to arms reach & hoisting it back up out of the way +when you were done. You could also stash servers and stuff up out of the way, +but you'd need a side table somewhere for monitors and printers. Hmm, maybe +I'll make some drawings up to get a better feel for the idea. + +[[!tag hardware]]
