That car is a Scion XB

That's the older XB. It's more square than the new one.

Here is the new one.

The one I had was a yellow special edition, people used to stop and just ask questions all the time. It was sexy, but aerodynamically challenged - sucked driving on the highway.

Looked like this minus the rims, mine were chrome.

Pro Tech asked me for some pics. Keep in mind we are in the middle of a remodel. I'll post some more pics of the shop after we're done.

We have an additional 3,000 square feet in front where our family has a medical billing business. Customers sometimes enter through here and are greeted by a receptionist.

We have tried to go green and eliminate as much paper as possible. Everyone of our staff has 2 screens on their desks. We store documents in pdf format in a document management system. Our clients scan and upload documents to us instead of having to make copies of everything.

This is our conference/presentation area.

breaktrk.... that is SWEET....My wife was cracking up saying it looked like mine sometimes.
 
Well- I'm not anywhere near building mine yet, but here we go. (P.S. I posted this in another topic already)

It is divided into three sections, Base, Counter top and Wall.

Base
  • Left side will probably become a half size server rack instead of a cabinet.
  • Right side will become a set of 4 draws instead of a cabinet as well.
  • Hollow cavity hold up the carousel or the "Lazy Moe's" and also acts as a storage unit for my main computer, printer, and other hardware- will have subdivisions of course so they don't stack on top of eachother.

Counter top
  • A 3 or 4 tier cabinet that will store all my tools, spare parts and other stuff.
  • Underneath the cabinet I will probably put a small cavity for paper or keyboard storage.
  • The counter top (as well as the Lazy Moe and Shelf) have a MDF base with a textured 1/4"thick rubber mat for antistatic properties.
  • The shelf will be home to laptops and desktops that I will be working on.
  • Underneath the shelf will be some more storage cavities.
  • Lazy Moe is a carousel used for laptop dis-assembly and I would imagine is a very unique feature not seen in anyone's work benches.

Wall
  • The wall will go as high as the cabinet for aesthetic purposes.
  • On the top of the wall we will have a fan, stereo speakers and a lamp (shown in the picture) for those night time jobs.
  • On the wall is 3 1920x1200 monitors mounted on Tilt/Swivel/Swing VESA mounts and are positioned just high enough that I can fit any laptop 17" and under without blocking the view of the screens.
  • Also, not shown is a couple of tool racks on the right side of the cabinet.


I will also be adding a rack for computers and laptops that are finished, or are waiting to be worked on in another unit which will store things like customer information, case information and of course the laptop/desktop itself.

Here are pics of my shop... it's in a little strip mall, about 1,000sq. ft. It has one big 'tech' room in the back and a display area up front. The display area is stocked now, these pics were taken right after I finished installing the floors, cabinets, etc. last Christmas.

The desks (and counter, etc) were purchased from a Sharper Image store that was closing (killer deal). I then added pull-out drawers, a top shelf for monitors, and KVM switch(es) etc. We do more service than retail, right now, but I wanted an area up front for drop-offs, retail sales, and possible future classes. Oh...and I also attached a pic of our service vehicle... the little Geek Van.

That is one hot looking shop! Someday I hope to have a setup similar to this. :o
