decided on a new(to me) desk and put it up this weekend

[robphelan]

bought this at a used office supply store.. both the desk + hutch cost me the same as the desk would have brand new. good deal.

the only problem(not pictured) is that i have to put my main machine under the desk and my video server between the desk and the wall..

i was worried about wire management, but i think i solved that.

I mounted 3 power strips to the back of the hutch, drilled a few holes for the cords to pass through and I think it turned out alright.

EDIT: ha. just noticed that my switch that I double-sided taped to the rt side is peeling off... oh well.. i'll fix that when I get home.

Im sanding down an old desk i got off the side of the road. Really nice wood (not sure what kind) It had brown paint over it, but we are sanding it down and will stain it to match the flooring in our front room.

brand new at office depot - 299 for the desk and 249 for the hutch. i bought them both for 305 + tax.

a couple of bonuses: the hutch was brand new in box, but still gave it to me for 125. And, he assembled it for me for free. OD charges $40 - $60 each piece to assemble.
