gregday posted:Well gently caress. I really want an IKEA JONAS desk but I'm not driving to Atlanta (nearest store) to get one and I really don't want to pay $299 in shipping for a $129 desk. There are companies that exist that do Ikea delivery. There's ModernLV.com here in Vegas. There might be something like that in your area.

Sup nerds. Long have I wanted to post in this thread, but I've been using a waiting room chair since I was a teenager and a desk my father gave me 10 years ago when I first moved out. And I've been working from home for 3 years now! Finally I acquired a decent chair and gallant setup over the weekend. A suggestion for those looking at the gallant - the main desk is HUGE. Do no underestimate the size of the vehicle you'll need to get it home from Ikea. http://imgur.com/a/gzYXD Before  After

One of them calls Batman... The company I work for is transitioning between an Asterix VOIP setup over to Microsoft Lync, its pretty annoying. One phone rings when someone calls my extension but I can make outbound calls with both.

Ikea Galant purchased and set up! The cable management thing is nice. How high can this desk go? It seems a little low now. I have the t-legs, and I'm assuming I can use an allen key to raise it?

Yes you can raise it. The Design is pretty simple, the leg of the table has a V shaped wedge cut out that the screw wedges in. To raise the desk just loosen the screw a bit, pull up, then tighten it.

I was re-united with my desktop computer (Was using my netbook for the last four months), bought a 24 inch monitor, and an Xbox 360. Now I finally feel like my set-up is worth showing! Living like poo poo under the desk though

How is reading comics on it? I thought the screen would be far too small. I have a Kobo, which I tried using to read comics, and you have to scroll in every direction to keep the text at a legible size. It's not worth it.

It's great, and it's got a slew of features. And I have terrible eyes. I actually just read Blankets on it without any issues, and no zooming/panning around the screen. Then again, though, my Nook Color is rooted and running CM7.

I've read Y The Last Man and Ultimate Spider-Man on it, as well as a bunch of others perfectly fine.

 Not much on cable management since we are still moving in and buying new furniture. I hate the keyboard drawer with a passion since its easier to sit at an angle on the desk and type. Also, Sam Adams.

I am the voice of un-reason perhaps, but I found the screen to be too goddamn small for comics. I got one for x-mas, and it was okay, but you have to zoom out so far that it's kinda hard to read sometimes. It's not bad by any means... but unless you're struggling for cash I would get a 10" tablet instead if comics are your destination. I got a Transformer and it's pretty much the perfect size, NookColor a little too small.

Regarding all this Nook Color comic-chat, I found it to be much easier to read once I switched to a nicer image smoothing filter in Perfect Viewer.

Awesome thread! I have 2 24"s but I wish I had room for 3 but not enough room I'm thinking of switching to 3 U2311H and have an ergotron mount instead. Does that work? And it seems like I need to get any eyefinity card or anything with 3 mini/display ports to avoid shearing, am I correct? Anyways, picture time  I actually live in a shoebox but at least the view is nice. It's a bit bright and extremely hot today.  Tone mapped of my window by caberham, on Flickr  I admit, I'm living like poo poo  What is the name of the product with lots of grid holes that I can glue underneath my desk to tie my cables away?

My workstation is in my bedroom, and I work at home a whole lot, so despite having a living room I spend the vast majority of my time in my tiny 10x9 bedroom. Hell even my living room is tiny. I would love more space but moving is hard and really not worth it right now. Space is overrated.

Pretty much depends where you grew up I reckon. For me it's the exact opposite since in a country that's warm all year round no one carpets their floors.
