Shipping Container

Google Groups
1

Hi Guys,

I Have sent an email to Fablab, so will wait and see

MCC have had a turn of direction, we are now designing shipping containers, we have decided to sack landlords and design our own space. Our 1st one arrives next week and we are changing it into a music studio, sponsored by MOSI so we should hopefully be able to pull it off.

I am telling you this too see what you guys think about the idea of designed shipping containers, my business partner Ben is really keen to have some techie ones and i like the idea of a tech space in a redesigned container or two, it would be good promotion for you guys and they are pretty versatile.
Plus you can move them,

We have quite a few ideas and obviously we want help with the project, and we would love HACman to be involved

Ben is quite happy to come to the next meeting and tell you alot more specifics about the design and his thoughts on where he sees it progressing so give me a shout if you are interested

Hey Janey,

Sounds like an interesting idea! I looked into something similar for my
personal workshop, but diddnt have the access to dump one in my garden!
(and the neighbours would have had a fit!)

What kind of prices are you getting them for? When i looked, even an
ancient, fairly battered one was costing £2k+.

Do you have a site planned out for the first one? Thought about
weatherproofing (most shipping container homes i looked at were in drier
climes)? Insulation? Painting it to fit into the surroundings?

Definitely keep us updated on how its going, it sounds cool :slight_smile:

I agree this sounds interesting. I don’t suppose you saw a program called guerrilla homes a few years back? It was a series exploring the unusual ways people had found to get/make themselves a home. Anyway, the presenter spent a week living in a shipping container somewhere on undeveloped land in Salford Quays.

Plus, of course, they mentioned Container City. http://www.containercity.com/

what exactly do you sell alan, thats a lot of data storage

I work for the company that designs and manufactures the computers that
go inside the container.

“up to 25kW supported on each payload rack and capacity for 1120 CPUs or
3 petabytes of disk”

Alan Burlison

hmmm a HACMan Cargo Pod?

do you think your company may be interested in sponsoring a community Hacspace designed shipping container?

we can buy them and install a basic studio we think for £1500 in total, after we finish this first one we will know exactly what is involved. But setting it up as a HacLab would still involve alot more resources., tools equipment etc
If you guys are still up for it then maybe we could set up a collective for financing a hacspace, maybe a co-op member model, it depends how many people we can get involved who may need to use a Hackspace.— On Fri, 26/2/10, Alan Burlison alan.burlison@gmail.com wrote:

Right now we’re working pretty closely with madlab to turn their bottom
floor into more of a hackspace area, so i’m not sure if we’re looking for a
new home, but its definitely an idea to keep in mind for future expansion
(hopefully eventually we’ll need multiple spaces!)

I think there may be a few of us interested in helping out with outfitting
your first one, so feel free to post updates etc to the list.

Bearing in mind we’ve just been bought out, I’d say no :wink:

Alan Burlison

Well hopefully you may just want to be involved in the project,
we have computer recycling and pure data workshops running at the space at the moment so we can expand on this for a tech area, however if we have it set up for electronics that would be great.
Once we have some shipping containers in our backyard then we may have more of an idea, so hopefully next week onwards.
