DIY Computer Cart

When a computer needs to be setup in your home and space is at a premium, you can build a computer cart yourself. The cart needs to be small and maneuverable. This allows you to move it to any room or area where the computer will be used. To do this you will require the dimensions for the cart and the materials needed for the construction.
