I think I see a few joysticks in one of the photos so hopefully they are at least playing some racing/flight sim's. Also, how in the world can that company justify $800 for those "cockpits"? That's almost as bad as that $900+ GeekDesk(the one that raises/lowers itself) which basically consists of a $100 table and a $100 motor.

Heh its worse than you think, by the time you add the (extra cost) side tables and the (extra cost) triple monitor kit the price has crept up over 1k NZD. Do I think that's good value?, well yes and no. the things weigh a ton so shipping them down here cant have been cheap. place I brought em from has to make some coin on it. Meh I would have spent the money on crack anyways.... took me over 8 hours to assemble them both and man are they over engineered, solid as a rock. not moving no matter what. Yes there are joysticks pictured but I'm no hard core flight sim nut, I play War thunder, World of tanks, BF3 etc and the wife and I are into co-op fps games, we don't really MMO much anymore. I use mine for day to day computer use as well as gaming and I wouldn't go back to a normal desk now. reclining seat ftw And if you don't like the seat that comes with it, the base takes a standard car seat bolt pattern so you can rock on down to the wreckers yard and grab which ever seat you like and just bolt it on. Happy to put up some more pics if you guys want to see how its put together and how thick the tube steel and so on is.

 Eurocom monster hooked up to two dell 23" ultrasharps. Desk is a leftover scavenged from my families basement as is the card table. (kinda goony, i'll admit) looking at upgrading to one of those ikea corner desks in the future. Got lucky with the aeron, my old work was replacing all of their office furniture, so I snagged that guy for free.

  New desk to replace the rickety old particle board thing I was using before. 8 ft long, 170 lbs, solid maple top, steel legs, adjustable height workbench. Rock solid. Zero movement. Got a 30" LCD, 15" laptop, printer, speakers and plenty of desk space left over for writing, eating, whatever. It's rad.

Thanks, got it from Amazon. Gladiator 8-Feet Adjustable Height Maple Work Bench. And yeah, I'm sure a handy person could put together something roughly equivalent at half the price. dema fucked around with this message at 03:55 on May 23, 2013 |

Ahhhh I have a university surplus maple slat workbench sitting in my garage just waiting for a refinish. This makes it look so beautiful. I'm thinking about the same sort of finish for the top (and bottom), except that the sides will be black.

For those of you who got Galant desks: How big are the boxes? Would I be able to fit one of their L modulars in the back of my car or am I going to have to beat someone up to get their truck?

Well, I managed to shove one into the trunk of my Kia Spectra many years ago. It wasn't completely in the trunk, and had a good foot or so of the thin part of the L hanging out, but it worked. I'd say if you're driving anything of reasonable size and don't have an issue with it not fitting in there 100%, you could. Edit: the packaging is not any bigger than the item for the desk tops.

The biggest boxes are almost exactly as big as the large desk pieces, and that's it. They also have package measurements online, so you can know exactly how big the packages will be.

So the Herman Miller 15% Semi-Annual Sale started today, and I was planning on picking up an Embody in my ongoing effort to de-Ikea my home now that I have a real job. However, I was curious if anybody had any experience with the Flo monitor arm system HM sells: http://store.hermanmiller.com/Products/Flo-Monitor-Support They are set up to go with the Embody, so I assume they will be better than other options, even more expensive ones by whatever that other company is. I have a 30" S-IPS or whatever it is monitor that I plan to mount on it. Any tips?

I would suggest you weigh your monitor or at least check the spec sheet of it to see if you're even in that ballpark before you spend your money.

Everyone who is concerned with getting the perfect Chair/table/monitor mounts/etc... your prayers are answered with one device to rule them all. http://www.mwelab.com/index.php/en/products The only issue I can see is having to put up with lovely BOSE speakers in otherwise premium products. I want one of these so badly...

Apparently the Ergotron LX is less expensive than I thought, so I think I might be better off with that over the Flo. Any thoughts?

I had to balance the desktop out the back of the trunk, I've got a Civic, so the trunk is deep but not very wide. Protip: Ikea gets tons of returns on the Galant desktops, but not the frames. Check the clearance section (especially on Mondays when they put all their returned merchandise out on the floor) I got the top for  and just made a different frame out of wood.

Been a while since I upgraded. I'd say 90% of this setup is scavenge. Still can't figure out how to use a camera.

That sick-rear end posting station may seem cool now, but anything looks cool in comparison to living in your parents' basement. There's a whole world out there and the key to that world is leaving a part of your inner goonlord at mom and dad's house.

Remember to post pictures so we can coach you on what is and isn't good. You know all those cheap poor people with Ikea Galants? Yeah don't be a loser baby child with baby furniture like them, get yourself a custom built live edge desk. Sure it might cost thousands but really you wouldn't want people to think your a child right? Also you drat well better have a Embody or better or you will be mocked!

I'm sure there's a basement-dwelling goon in all of us that thinks that desk is totally super rad, but I cannot fathom even in the darkest depths of my imagination how embarrassing it would be if I had one and any non-goon learned of its existence in my home. I couldn't mentally legitimize that thing if I walked into the office of a Fortune 500 CEO and saw one in the corner. It's like the ceramic dragon-and-wizard statue of desks.
