Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present (Part 16)

Those with Galant desks and the A-frame legs - how hard is it to set the right height for the desk? I've just ordered a couple of desks with A-frame leg and I'm worried I'm going to be forever adjusting the extending legs and never getting it quite right.

That is absolutely no problem ^^ They have a scale on it so you can adjust them all the same really easily! All it could take is two ore three tries to get a comfortable height for you.. i think there are recommendations on the internet how high the desk should be depending on your body height and seating!

But i would suggest a second person to help you flip the table, unless you would like to do it as shown below

Ah, that has been asked a few times. They are separate (the drawers and the desk). They are from IKEA (now discontinued I believe). Mikael rings a bell, but I could be wrong. Glass top on original picture was an option but I removed it as it moved too easily and optical mice didn't like it.

Yes you are correct, just googled and your drawers pops up. Going to try and find a second hand one now to add to my existing desk. Thanks once again.

Perfect, thanks!

And yeah, maybe less of the rage table flipping!

How's the quality of the dynex tv hooked up on your Mac? I'm thinking of getting a 32" wall mount for my office.

I've had a Dynex 32" for a couple years, and I've been very happy with it. Picture quality is good, and it's been dead reliable. And Dynex is a lot cheaper than the big brands.

Thanks! I sold the MacBook Air since I didn't use it that much. The Wacom is an Intuos4 Medium (A5) Wireless. The wallpaper can be found here.

Auralex makes sound isolation pads that should meet your needs.

Nice setup but how can you stand having the screen so close?

yes the seat is pretty close on the desk , but when I sit down I put the chair away from the desk then you will not suffer from.

AHH! But you can't put your feet under the desk. Would drive me mental. In fact,. shnick ta beep*le eruh& te br${

Using IKEA TV furniture as your desk? You're almost on the ground?

I would go absolutely mad.

looks nice but where do you put your feet ? There doesnt look like any room for your legs.

 

[Nladewi]

I don't put my legs under desk but i sit in front of it. I'm fine with that it looks uncomfortable but it isn't

 

[diotav]

Audioengine A2's. Love them! They sound great in small rooms.

Your neck doesn't hurt having to constantly look up at the screen??

I know what you're saying. I used to use a 6' long dresser as my desk. Would seem too high and like there's no place for feet, but it wasn't that bad. Though I did use the computer standing more than I have with any other setup

 

[Eggtastic]

didn't know anywhere else to ask this, but i wanted to display my set up that i took with my nikon d3100, but the file is too large. what is the best way to downsize it.
