Set up my drafting table to double as my computer work area a few days ago. Big open workspaces are loving kick rear end. And my speakers are pretty loving old, but they still work. I was also inspired by this thread when I saw someone who had posted a jimmy rigged laptop dock mounted to their desk. While mine doesn't look as elegant from the one I remember posted here, it works. Mounted an old magazine holder I had laying around collecting dust to the lower side of my drafting table with velcro so I wouldn't have laptop clutter messing with my wide open workspace. Ghetto-fied, yet functional.

grillster posted:Jesus that's a huuge TV for that stand. I have the same stand and my 37" + receiver is already causing the wood to bow in the middle. It's rated for the weight. I'm not sure if we have the exact same model; mine has a 1" metal support pillar in the middle. It still makes me nervous--the TV came with special mounting wire, not so you could hang it from the wall, but so that you could attach it to the wall while it was on a stand for extra support. It was hard as hell to find a stand that would take the weight (~120 lbs), was wide enough, and wasn't more than half what the TV cost me (1/2 off through work 2 years ago). Yay plasma TVs, you're pretty but heavy as poo poo.

VolumeOverTalent posted:velcro? that doesn't look too sturdy to me. I tested it. No worries! It's a double round of velcro going opposite ways, so they're pulling against one another making for some good tension, and another strip of velcro over it. If that makes any sense.

Switched it up. Moved the 26" Samsung monitor with HDTV Tuner down to in front of my bed, and redid the desk. Notice, thanks to the cables, I live like poo poo. Click here for the full 1024x681 image.

Lot 49 posted:Why do you have the taskbar at the top of the screen? I'll ignore the "Why am I clueless" question and state that, to me, having the Windows taskbar at the top of the screen feels more consistent with every other goddamn application I use. Tabs/navigation are almost always near the top, (web pages, browser tabs, chat tabs, etc...) and it just makes sense for Windows to follow the same standard.

I had to recable *everything* just so I could stick the AC unit back in the window. 90º in the Puget Sound? In June? In a 90 year old house on the third floor? Well, it was worth the trouble afterall. Of course the unfinished concrete basement is a nice 67º, but I don't want to be that guy.

i thought I was pretty slick about the vertical monitor until I saw some dude with 6 of them. Click here for the full 1632x1224 image. I'm not going to label everything because I think it's pretty straightforward and I'm lazy but I will list the things here. 2 acer 23" monitors Razer Lachesis mouse Razer Lycosa keyboard logitech 5.1 speakers I've seen my speakers at least 5 times here. Is anyone having a problem with random clicks and pops? Its got to either be my speakers or onboard audio (Realtek).  Click here for the full 1632x1224 image. My desk is really deep. So deep that the shadows hide the dark secret that I am also living like poo poo. No pics for that though. edit: loving bastards lied to me when I bought that case. On the rebate form I have the 3 little slots at the bottom are also lit up. Empty Pockets fucked around with this message at 02:09 on Jun 4, 2009 |

I gots me a new height adjustable desk as a leaving present from work. Its huge. Also my father in law built me an ikea cabinet to house my 3 machines. But, I'm not happy about the wiring as yet. I'm calling this a first draught. Any ideas on good/cheap cable management are welcome, i understand the two approaches are usually mutually exclusive.

url posted:I gots me a new height adjustable desk as a leaving present from work. Its huge. Double sided velcro strips are the best for cable management. That and finding a good place to put them. One neat trick that I don't think will work for you is to take some of that cardboard backer board you see that has holes every inch or so and you can put hooks in it (you normally see it in like a garage above a workbench) and screw some to the side/back of your desk and attach some hooks to it and velcro everything to it. Theres a really good example of it somewhere in this thread.

The plug-board I have was formerly attached to a builders pallete until a few days ago. I'm waiting for some parts for the middle case so I have time to prepare for a final draft. Thanks for the tip though.

Golbez posted:Every time I see a picture and think, "Wow, that's a nice desk," someone says Ikea generally has a few good desks at any time. The Jerker is fabled (and discontinued) for the ease with which it took expansion and its layout and the Galant (Gallant?) is a wide sturdy desk with simplistic looks (get the T-leg version). Or get two 28-32" tall file cabinets and go to Lowes/Home Depot and get an exterior door blank. Boom instant desk.

They're 2.1 I absolutely love Logitech and I'll buy it whenever there's an option to. Logitech just replaced my dead MX1000 which I'd owned for over 5 years - well out of warranty, with a brand new MX Revolution.
