The mac pro is currently as per the factory, but I am formulating plans for when the wife next goes out of town....

The Cisco appliances are actually part of my CCNA training and not just attractive monitor stands... :)

Strong opinions on mouse pads itt

That's what I was thinking....

I'm still using a Simpsons one I was given when I was still in primary school and it does the job pretty well :v:

I need something L-shaped to separate my gaming PC monitors from my work PC/laptop. Is that two IKEA tables pushed together? How stable is it?

I want a couple of those desktop organizers, too. I'm tall and I hate looking down at my screens, and I always end up with various knick-knacks just sitting on my desk, begging to be stashed in drawers.


Okay good, I'm not the only one that immediately saw "MAN CAVE" in giant letters and winced.

The desk is an L shaped one from Super Amart (cheap furniture store in Australia). Very stable and does the job well.

The organisers are from Ikea and were for the exact reason of me needing to very the million things on my desk organised and away. Easy to put together and a perfect fit. I think they had other drawer configurations, too.

Oh, Australia. :( I'm in the US so that won't work for me! But I'll start browsing local stores and see if I can't find something that would work. I just need simple, sturdy and L-shaped.

I *thought* those organizers looked like something I saw at Ikea. I might pick up a pair on my next visit.

I would assume there would have to be something - going to any of the normal places here that sell furniture has heaps of them.

I did end up finding something actually! I have to wait to order it but it's just the right size and shape.




Nice! What did you get?

Ordering this today: Ashley 60" Lobink

I found it on Ashley's website last week for $275, and then it jumped up to $385 today. Got freaked out for a minute since I wasn't planning on spending that much on a desk... Then I remembered that other websites exist, so I did a quick search and found it on Amazon for $238! Also free Prime shipping!

The only downside is the brown is going to clash with the white Ikea add-on drawers, but I can mitigate that with something. Maybe some dark contact paper.


I'd like to get some ideas on this as well.

Can't wait to see the final result, the pictures look awesome! Very sturdy looking.

or you could just have a partner who’s ok with your goofy hobby poo poo or keep it somewhere discrete and appropriate like a home office.

Like you’re probably not wrong in a general sense but this whole “W.A.F”/“ :females: don’t like x goofy nerd poo poo” is reductive and kinda sexist and often untrue.

Yeah, I agree. My wife doesn't care about my stupid nerdy gaming poo poo as long as it's contained in my office. Hence I still have a tower with pretty lights and a 65" tv with like ten consoles hooked up to it in a cannibalised wardrobe.

Gonna need some pics here.

Pretty sure I posted some photos earlier in the thread (although have gotten some more consoles since then and changed the computer layout a bit) but I'll check when I get home from my son's swimming lesson.
