^ I would, but with new iPods soon, supposed tablet, and only 2GB of RAM in my macbook it might be a while
Okay, The desk arrived today! I have got a lot to do with building that and setting up/cable management. Pics coming within 3-4 hours!!

I have that desk. I got it at Staples though. It's really well made and extremely sturdy.
yea it seems to be really good. Especially for $100!
The Room is finished!
(for now)
^ I burnt myself lighting those for you guys!
^ Shelves all filled out. My parents both gave me their old cameras, plus my newer (now discontinued) Polaroid.
I am in love with this little display
Now, for what you haven't seen yet:
^desk area.
^ the entire area
^ Close up on the side console
^ labels for the first drawer.
I will post better pictures with my moms digital in the morning. It didnt like the darkness :/

Looks clean, nice.
Perhaps some wider shots in the morning with the digital? Also, and perhaps it is my monitor, but I'm still getting the impression that the paint is blueish with a grey tint.

it does have a bit of a blue in it, but not nearly as much as the pictures are portraying. Also my light doesn't really help because the shades are dark purple and kind of change the color at night. (here is a picture of part of the fan.)
Thanks Thanks and Thanks!
Now the hard part, keeping it organized.
Next step, cable management! I just wrangled most of my cables together this week, so it's fresh on the brain.
Looks really nice.

yea tell me about it. The USB hub in the drawer already makes this "neater" than my old setup. Im thinking of getting a bluelounge cablebox.
That's what I used. 5 power bricks, and a lot of cables all stashed in the box. I posted it in the setup thread last night I think. Within 72 hours for sure.
Looks good, but I dont know if I should spend $30 for a box when I can get a similar box cheaper somewhere else. Is there any reason why you would suggest the cable box over something like a small basket with a lid?
Here are some better pictures:
You know what they are all pictures of except the last one: The view out of the window on the long wall. One reason why I like the room so much. Not much but better to look at than a brick wall or something. Ignore my neighbors house

I'm jealous! Absolutely put's my tiny area of the dining room to complete shame and your view, very nice! Congratulations on a job well done. You should be proud of what you've done.
Wow. That really is some nice work you've done there.
It really shows that a lot of time, effort, and thought went into this project. Very cool of you to share the journey with us, it is inspiring.

I had no idea that the Empire State Building, Eiffel Tower, and St. Steven's Tower were all the same height! They don't look it from up close.
Just kidding, I think the display looks pretty good, too.
The vintage camera shelf is my favourite part! Nicely done! Pick up some more vintage cameras for the top shelf. I think they'd look better than the building models.
yea I agree. About a year ago my dad threw away his vintage polaroid
If only we would have known I was going to display the cameras at the bottom of their closet.I am going to add cameras eventually, but I dont want to just order them off ebay or something. I want to actually find them and get something that I really like.
