Some german furniture store right after the border from here. That store's reselling stuff from suppliers, so you might come across it in various other stores, too.

Yeah, this looks like the same one. My set's actually two desks, one 120cm wide, one 150cm connected together with a corner piece.

The Desk is an Ikea Vika Lauri

The speakers are Bose Companion 3 II
http://www.bose.com.au/site/index.aspx?path=products&CTRL=PG&pfid=9&pgid=106

I love them, unlike other Bose units, there are crisp highs, really good bass (woofer under the table).

I'm not trying to be a dick here because the house I live in with my college mates looks precisely like this. Those images are pretty much goonroom.jpg. Utilitarian furniture above all. Mess of video game systems with Guitar Hero in the background. SA background image with dual monitors. You're living the dream my friend.

Though, I do appreciate the lack of rotting food items in the mess. That's something my house can't get right sometimes.

A dooooom house?


*Bowl o' goodies currently consists of: iPod 30GB video, HTC Tilt cellphone, Motorola radio handset/phone for work, USB multi-card reader. It basically just makes it easy to toss all my gadgets in there for charging, and have all their cords in the same place.

The desktop and lifebook are both controlled by the same mouse and keyboard, using a little app called Synergy. I can also control my Tilt with my mouse and keyboard with an app called MyMobiler. So technically I have 4 screens linked.

Yeah , altho i dont mind a little clutter , food is another story. Theres no bugs cuz theres nothing for them to eat lol. The alcohol and paper towell are leftover from the cpu swap i did the night before :) . Went from e2160 @ 3ghz to an e8500 @ 4ghz for my bday (the 4th) . The boxes are all from woot , yugster , etc. They are now filled with cords, discs, and assorted other junk.

Trouble is, there's nothing pretty left to buy now (my iPod and Sony DR-BT50 bluetooth headphones aren't in the shot).

I'm open to suggestions though.

Actually, considering grabbing new and wireless mouse - do they work properly yet? The VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse I bought for my girlfriend has all sorts of lag. Would there be any worthwhile wireless alternative/upgrade from the IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 I'm currently using?

General announcement: :rock: I got an Aeron for $200 off of Craigslist :rock:

The gas cylinder bearing was broken, and it had been sitting on someone's porch for about three weeks, so it was covered in a light film of dirt. And a small spider had taken up residence in one of the wheels. But an evening cleaning it up and a $19 part, and it's as good as new. This was the result of emailing everyone who posted an Aeron on Craigslist for under $300 for about three months. Usually I'd email them within 30-40 minutes of posting, and be told that it was already gone.

But not this time, sumbitches :dance:

So imagine the picture of my desk I posted before, but with an Aeron in front of it.

I have I think one of the top five lovely-assed rooms in this thread, and I've got some macs in the middle of my room set up for that repeating backgrounds thread, I've just been lazy.... I've got a Performa 6400/200 and an Apple IIci set up on boxes in the middle of my floor. Have to step over them to get to my bed from the door.

How's that for pathetic bucking the trend?
