For $260, I'd say that's a really good deal if you've got the space.

I like how the case is in the middle and the drives are accessible from the top. I'd make sure it would work with your case, though, if you plan on putting the case like it shows in the pictures.

Yea, I thought that idea was pretty neat for the case too. Im getting a plenty big apartment so i should have no problem with it working.

I got that same exact desk, but I only paid like $200 (they had a $50 off of 200 coupon).

Do you like the desk? Is the coupon still running?

The coupon is long expired ( I got the desk more than a year ago). I llike the desk because it has lots of space and it looks nice. But it is a pain in the ass to setup the computer because it is hard to acess the cables
in the back.

I think im gonna get it for myself and I was wondering how you liked it

You need to mention that you're a giant. Trust me, Officemax has a variety of furnitures but they're so damn tiny. I had trouble fitting ... mind you, I'm not as tall as you, giant. :p Make sure the furniture accommodates someone your height ... unless you have short legs. :Q

I would honestly recommend Office Depot for reasonably priced and sized furnitures. They have a variety too. However, I got my furniture from Staples during those code-related mishaps, so I could afford it. It is quite comfortable. Office Max isn't my first choice, but if you buy there make sure you're physically there to feel it; don't just rely on the measurements, giant!

P.S. For OfficeMax coupons, just do a search on google. You'll find sites that update OM codes. Actually, I just realized that I had an OM coupon just sitting there. I don't intend to shop at OM anytime soon. So if you want it, I could send the code to you. It expires 2/12/05.

I got the last generation model of this desk. The digital dock is a pain in the ass. The place for the monitor, far too high for me. But it's huge and it holds all my office stuff in one place. (4 speakers, laser printer, fish tank, that green office lamp with the pull chain, cable modem, keyboard.) I end up leaving my computer outside.

The surface warps if any moisture is left on it for an extended time, such as the condesation of a cold drink.

All these things are all small inconviences when I look back and see I got it for $100 out the door. Bring a friend, the box is heavy! Took me roughly 2 hours to set up.

Thanks for the information everyone. I fit under the desk when I sat in it at the store. I was just wondering what you all thought of it.
