looks just like my desk at work, same layout, but not as cool

 

[Mandrill]

that is a chicks desk. A manly desk has rough cut 2x4's and cinder blocks. and look at it.....no spare parts laying around either....

 

[resinboy]

absolutely, no cd's lying around that you can't find the covers for, no pile of useful articles and info printed out, and lying around, and most importantly, no cd organizer case with 50 cd's, 30 floppies, 5 zip disks, designed to hold only 20 !!!

OK I'll send in a pic of mine as soon as I get batteries for my camera.

Then you'll appreciate REAL chaos . . .

That desk may be nice to look at but, it needs a keyboard drawer or dropped 'shelf' for a keyboard for the user to avoid getting sore wrists or eventually carpal tunnel syndrome.

GIZzO;
That is a nice desk you have! You might want to install a keyboard drawer for that 2nd keyboard (on the right side of the pic). Also a shelf to get the 'boxes' up off the floor and away from the 'doghair' (ROTFLOL)! What about file drawers? Every serious 'surfer' has reams of website page printouts to store for 'reference purposes' (LOL)and needs to hide them away from the eyes of 'Mom', the
'wife', or visitings nieces to avoid disturbing their 'sensibilities'!

Does anyone have any customized desks? i.e. old office desks that they modified for use as their computer work station

I have two 30x60 topped office desks (from my former business) setup at 90 degerees to each other, with an angle connector top [at the corner], setup up as as an L-shaped desk arrangement. I have the monitor and keyboard [in a slide out drawer :>)} ] at the 'L'; the left desk is used for 'business stuff'{plus telephone & related, platform } and the right desk is used for my printer and scanner, with the CPU box sitting on a shelf below the top. In the next few weeks, when I finish my new 'box' and I network my 2 systems, I will be modifying the right desk with a 2nd keyboard drawer and re-doing the CPU shelf for the second system. To start out with (til I have more money) I will be using one monitor for the two systems, but will have individual keyboards and 'meese' for each. I will post 'pics' when the new mods are complete {I have been mod'ing these desks for about 20 years!} on my 'L-shaped desk' {if I ever get my website up!} and I get a chance to clean-up and file the reams of 'reference pictures' I have laying around! BTW, I am 50yo [and like women] and I share a house with my widowed (__yo, past retirement age) mother; since Mom and the nieces are forbidden entry to my home office & workshop area {without permission; usually denied!}, if they 'poke around' where they don't belong in the first place and then they see something they don't like; TOUGH!

A school table with the fold in legs....classy

 

[kendogg]

hey gizzo i was wondering what you wrapped your ide cable and other cables with? Looks to be electrical tape. Is it ok to crumble an ide cable like how you did?

 

[Blain]

Hey buddy, I'll have you know...
This is NO SCHOOL table!
It's a folding banquet table. Six feet man! It sure does hold a lot.

Too much

I actually built my own desk using your standard 2x4's and a finished top I purchased at Home Depot, for a grand total of $50 Canadian with paint and drawer sliders (that's $34 U.S). It's light and the top comes apart for easy moving and has legs that are adjustable for hight. I couldn't find any I liked, so I thought I would make it for a temporary solution, but it kind of grew on me. Here's some pics of it: http://members.home.net/laz/desk/

laz, ur not using the tripod stands and putting ur speakers behind u. also those are the fps 2000 digital right?? not the dt2500. did u have to set em up specially to have all four infront of u???

 

[Laz]

They are the 2500's and when facing the monitor the speaker on the far left (far left edge of desk) is slightly behind you and there is another on the bookshelf on the right that lines up with it (can't see it). According to the instruction manual this is the ideal setup, as the rear speakers don't produce much sound when playing a DVD. the one on the monitor is the center channel, so there is only 3 in front of me.
