I have no idea where the desk came from, my mom just had it so I took it. I'm noting a lot of people have this same monitor I have too :) Samsung 226BW "The official monitor of the MLG".

I used to have this setup as a HTPC, it's nice having a dedicated gaming computer again though.

That is really cool. I've often wondered if it'd be possible to do that with a laptop, have you run into any difficulties besides the hardware limitations of the EEE (not being able to run new games etc).

Antec is Indeed cool. I have the P180 too.

Here are some updates on my current desk:-



My Hommie HVK ;)

This amp is my love and joy at the moment, getting some new kit coming soon for my Sennhesier, but this baby is great for music. I am going to start saving for a brand-new Naim.. I think naim are the only audiophile equipment makers who don't BS. They also make sure each piece of equipment is tested and burned in before you even get it. The musical power of this small humble amp is amazing.



Nait 3 from ebay in great condition. No tone controls which I love.. the sound is so natural and great. My new DAC should improve the soundstage some more..

I don't get the love for the Jerker. It's a generic quasi-industrial dorm desk with a bunch of optional modular parts that are kinda necessary if you want to make it acceptable. By the time you mess around with that, you could get a good desk.

No other desk I've found is as flexible as the Jerker. I had the desk surface at a good level for my old chair but when I bought a new one I realize it didn't go down as low as my old one did, so I raised the desk surface a few inches, problem solved.

And while there are a bunch of modular accessories you can get for the desk, you can make your own too. I bought mine with just the upper shelf and a monitor arm, and someone gave me some really nice pieces of thick wood that happened to be finished the same color so all I need to do is buy a couple nice looking angle brackets for each end and I can make my own shelves.

Also, when it comes to moving the desk you can just undo 4 bolts, loosen 2 and the very deep desk surface will pivot down to almost vertical for easy moving, or you can just take it off entirely so it's in 2 much lighter pieces. If Ikea was smart they'd either start making them again or come out with some anniversary edition or something stupid like that. They'd sell like hotcakes.
