AlphaDog posted:I get a similar effect with a very low power (~6w) fluorescent "warm white" bulb. "Cool white" gives awful white light. If you're not doing any colour-sensitve work, F.lux will "warm" your monitor at night so it's not a huge blue/white light source in your room http://stereopsis.com/flux/ Wait, why is white light awful? Its closer to the color of natural sunlight than the color we've gotten used to from incandescent lights.

But it does sound much more involved then just led bulb and controller. But still the possibility is there.

No idea about their brand or anything, no markings on them at all and the boxes are long gone, sorry. Well the wire shelves are a design made by Whitmor and several other people if that helps any one. The desktops are what I haven't seen before.

Dominoes posted:Why? Where do you suggest moving it? If it where me I might try that tower holder that Ikea made for Jerker desk and mount the receiver vertically on the side of the desk. Or get a better monitor hutch and put it below the monitors. Or attach it to the underside of the desk, just leave enough of a gap between the top of receiver and the bottom of the desk to let it vent.

thelightguy posted:Yeah, I went from a 21" CRT to a 24" LCD to a 24" LCD with a 15" LCD off to the side. Having one monitor just for PuTTY sessions is fantastic. I'm actually starting to miss some of the smaller size monitors. If there was an ips monitor I could have put in portrait mode beside my U2412 I might have just stuck with 24" and maybe a smaller 17" for chat windows. As it was I went to a 27" monitor.

Coredump posted:What are the table legs people get from Ikea when they roll their own desk? I have desk top surface already, just want some recommendations on legs. After some reading I realized I need a Galant frame to go with the legs. I found a part number for the frame. 200.568.83, and a price of $30. From here: http://www.ikea.com/ms/en_US/pdf/buying_guides/GALANT_desk_bg_080912.pdf Now for the dumbest question in the world. How can I order the frame? Putting in the part number of the frame in the search box on Ikea's website gives me nothing. If I put in the part number for the Signum cable organizer, it comes right up. What do I dooooo?

The Lord Bude posted:My computer space comes with its own headphone holder. I believe its commonly referred to as a 'desk'. I cannot for the life of me imagine why people do anything else. I mean, you can't think of any reason at all? Not even a little one? Like... oh keeping the headphones on a stand can keep the cord out of the way and keep the headphones from getting yanked off the desk? They take up less desk space when they're stored vertically? It looks better aesthetically? None of those came to mind?

I had an Asus RT-16 router in my room one night. When I turned off the lights and was assaulted by the laser light show, yes you can say I became annoyed. Same thing with my desktop. Its a nice looking Silverstone Temjin TJ-08E, pretty classy looking right? Go thru all the trouble of making it near silent. Then I have to put drat electrical tape on the front because of the obnoxiously bright blue LED. I should have left the power switch led unhooked.

Antioch posted:What are you guys using to drive the monitors? I'm thinking about using some old Polk bookshelf speakers instead of the $20 Logitech budget poo poo I'm using, but putting $100+ into an amp seems like overkill. I think you would be much happier with a set of Dayton Audio B652's. I run a set of those and they sound really nice. For driving them people like to recommend discrete amps but I find they are overpriced for the amount of power and features on them. I run my speakers off a "Micro Stereo Receiver" or something similar to this:  My particular one is a Teac that I snagged for $50. I feel you get more power and features looking for something like that than a discrete amp. Also, with my monitor, Dell 2713hm, if I run an xbox or ps3 in with hdmi it has a line level 3.5 mm stereo output. So I can use a 3.5mm to rca adapter and get sound out of the monitor to my speakers.

The 30hz refresh rate is fine for productivity. Plus you would be surprised at the frames some demanding games run at, where 30 fps is not unheard of. But really, if you just doing web browsing and productivity stuff, 30 hz is fine. Tech report spoke highly of it too.

100% Dundee posted:Craning your neck? How close do you sit to your monitors that you have to literally turn your head to see your other monitor? I have two 24" displays so maybe its different with 30" displays or something but I orient them just like Coxswain and I don't even move my head to see from farthest left to the farthest right of the monitors. If there's something I'm very focused on then I might slightly turn my head, but nobody is snapping their neck back and forth to check their monitors like you seem to think. Two 24" monitors are nearly four feet across. With the way people have their desks and chairs you HAVE to turn your head some. Maybe you all have been doing it so long you don't realize.

That's why I said with the way people have their desk. Look, I had two u2412's. You have to turn your head to look from one to the other unless you're so far away you can't read them.Wasabi the J posted:Are your studio monitors upside down? How does that even sound, with the main coil so far above your head? He might be doing it to get the tweeters more on axis with his ears.

Either way the leg attaches to the frame with a single bolt. If it was good enough for the Galant I don't see why the Fredrick can't make it work either.

On Terra Firma posted:I thought they still sold it but yeah you're right. Maybe it was the Bekant I felt at the store that didn't feel sturdy. I've been looking for a replacement for my Jerker and the thing I like about it the most is the depth. It sits up against the wall but I still have room to put my feet up under my desk while allowing me to sit right up at the keyboard and mouse. I can't even find a desk with those kinds of dimensions and I've toyed with the idea about having something custom made. I just know that would be expensive if I didn't go with wooden legs. Ugh. I've got a galant. Shakiness confirmed.

The Galant's weakness was that the frame that held the table top only connected to the tee legs with a single large bolt through the middle of the leg. This let the table top rock back and fort on top of the tee leg. I would think the a-frame legs would be more sturdy since its two points of attachment per side. Even knowing what I know about the galant I would get another one. It was a nice desk for the money.

ijyt posted:Which reminds me, the ASUS comes with some software that supposedly expands the snapping and let's you snap to quarters etc, though I've not tried it yet. There's an old program out there called winsplit revolution that did quarters and sixths, plus with the ability to define custom snapping areas. It's an abandoned project at this point so there may be something newer out there. You can download it from majorgeeks.
