I love those thin little Mac keyboards. Are they PC compatible or does Logitech or someone make something similar?

Ooh I really want that Logitech one, but $90 is outside my snack bracket.  Maybe it'll come on sale sometime.

I am working on finishing up a desk I built from parts at Ikea. I'll have to get some pics when it's done. I got an 8 foot section of countertop for $40, two legs for $5 each, and one of those cable holder things for $20. $70 for a huge desk is pretty cheap. The back is attached to the wall via 2x4, and the front is just held up with the two legs. It's nice going from a small corner unit to this monstrosity. I just need to get some storage for all the stuff I have. Even small things like SD cards and USB wires and random computer stuff need somewhere to go. Does anyone have suggestions for nice looking storage solutions? I'd like something with lots of drawers and cubbies and stuff. It can go on the desk, or below it, doesn't matter to me.

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.

Did you buy the house? You could remove the built in desk, and rebuild something that suit you better.

I love the curtains and blinds. Maybe he lives with his grandma.

front wing flexing posted:You can just screw the pipes in to what ever depth you need to level out. It's probably on of the most adjustable desks you can get. You could probably level that out on a 1% grade. I thought he's asking about stopping the desk from tiliting; keeping the legs at 90 degrees. Another piece of pipe between the back two legs would stop that.

McOgre posted:Yeah, I have a laptop paired with a monitor. I can't imagine that's very common. It's probably a lot more common than you think. My work setup is exactly the same. I have a 27" Dell Ultrasharp connected to my laptop for everyday use. I plug in a mouse and keyboard though. If I need to head out somewhere, I just disconnect my USB hub, VGA cable, and network line, and I'm good to travel. It helps to have two power supplies for a laptop. One of mine is wrapped up in the desk so I don't have to go under and plug it in all the time.

glompix posted:That's a really weird thing to yell, unless you're planning to do some serious(ly goony) gaming. Every developer and IT guy where I work has the same setup, though most don't even use the laptop screen anymore. Think about it as docking your laptop. In fact, a dock might be a good investment. It makes coming and going at work pretty easy. I honestly only use my laptop screen for Outlook and sometimes testing web coding, as it helps to code UIs to work with the laptop screen, as no-one else I make the apps for at my work has a 2560x1440 resolution.

With two of those hanger bars from Amazon, could you not just put washers on the bolts and put them through the wire into the monitor? Or buy some flatbar from Home Depot, and cut it to length and drill two holes?

Elderbean posted:I'm curious too. Has anyone else used a countertop as a desk? I like the trestles too. My desk is a countertop from Ikea. It looks really nice. http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/70124083/ I have it attached to a 2x4 at the back that is mounted to the wall, and two black legs also from Ikea. I found the counter in the 'bang & dent' section with a scratch on it for $40, and the legs are (I think) $5 each. It's a nice 8' desk for about $50. You'll need to spend more if you want drawers and such. I put two short filing cabinets under it I got from work for free.
