And yes, that's a 24" widescreen CRT you're looking at. Also, sorry for the crappy camera phone pic.

Dude, tell me about that Ben-Q cabinet. What do you like most and is there anything you don't like about it?

I've never posted any pics of this setup before because, frankly it looks terrible. My apartment is very small so instead of dedicating room to a nice desk setup I cobbled this together out of furniture and cardboard boxes I've accumulated over the years. Yes, it's hideous, but it is incredibly comfortable.
Using other people's setups, my right shoulder and neck ache horribly from holding my arm out to use the mouse. That never happens with this setup. My right arm lands happily on the mouse and I never have fatigue or pain from sessions in front of the PC.

Nothing really notable about the setup except how odd it looks.

That's how I roll. Recognize. I hope everyone has fire insurance! It's a 40W bulb and I am pretty sure it won't reach kindling temp. but it's only been that way for six years so every day I'm testing fate. It's like Final Destination up in here. Kidding aside it's only there because I dusted for the pic and it has been moved a few inches.

You'd be surprised what I rest down there.
It's a box of photographs with pillows on it. The dog loves it! Sometimes I put my feet on the floor, though.

My favorite feature is the rear four-point-surround speakers hung from the chair with a guitar strap, twist-ties, and masking tape. Since the year 2000!

I guess you don't remember that GBS thread about 2 years ago, where the goon was ejaculating in a nalgene bottle and keeping it under his bed. His girlfriend found it, asked him what it was and then freaked out...

I'm using a spare 40" HDTV as my main monitor for music production and the Macbook Pro for videos/browsing.

Suggestions for something to hook the other 24" LCD up to?

Kinda looks like they were Photoshopped out. Might just be the lighting though.

Stitched with Photoshop. I was trying to do them manually then I discovered Photoshop had a built in option :doh:. My iMac is driving the TV in the pic (reading SA in 1080p :smug:) but usually I just watch cable or something on it (the 2 boxes on the table are a Sky box, and a Bluray player).

The cables are there, as OMGLOLetcetc said, just (badly) photoshopped them out because I'm going to try and hide them at the weekend and wanted to see what it'd look like. Sidenote, any suggestions on an easy way to hide them?


Edit: Cables look like this:

You could drill a couple holes and run them behind your walls or install a conduit of some kind, that's pretty much it, I think.

If your wall is plasterboard just drill a hole behind the TV and another one lower down and cover them with brush plates or something.

All I can suggest is something like this then:

Covers the wires and is a niceish looking brushed metal thing.

Is it solid brick though? Or is it drywall over studs attached to the outside wall?
