What legs did you buy, and did you buy the cable management with it too?

I want to set up an new office and have been deciding between the IKEA Galant range and making my own IKEA Hack:

Ikea Solid Oak/Beech kitchen worktop with some desk draws as supports. Not sure if it will be a bit shallow with a 27" ACD, MBA, Audioengine A2s!

Need some inspiration. I wanted to create an L shape desk (not against the wall) that was in the middle of my room, that didnt show cable clutter. That rules the Galant glass range!

I bought the Galant T legs, and also bought the Galant cable management.

New Setup

I've moved since my last setup post. Some of this is temporary until I can get the money together to build the desk I have on file at the local Container Store... (Actually, I may just buy the desk from Ikea that I just built for about $2K less than the one I have on file at the Container Store...)

The big beige box under the left side of the desk is a Xeon server that I keep around to play on. On the desk is the 21" iMac, tucked away behind all the books under the right side of the desk is 3.5 TB of external hard drive space, on the tray table with the monitor and keyboard is my MacBook Pro (It's behind the monitor in a BookArc. Someone needs to design a bracket that attaches to the VESA mounts to stash a laptop in this configuration...) The scanner that I use to listen to the local sheriff, the router and the modem for the satellite internet connection... Also strewn about on the desk is a multitude of papers from being in college....

Wow, I really take care of my stuff too, I guess it may be because I'm always in bed with it, and it's always being moved around, desk to desk. :rolleyes:

I use mine on the sofa, table, desk, train, office, relatives houses.

I never even considered the cable could break. The only unfortunate thing that has happened is the dog chewed half of the cable (from the wall to the brick)

I have one from my 07 MacBook and it's fine..

Why? I take care of stuff.

Yup. My cable from my early '06 looked like new until the day I sold it. And that wasn't too long ago.

These aluminum ones though... my god do they pick up scuffs. At least they rub out... so far :rolleyes:
