DIY Desk and lamp with MBP and 27" Dell screen.

Very neat. Don't the bolts stab you when you sit down though?

But where will you keep your beer now?

Quick and ****** panno of the corner

 

[Apple fanboy]

Fridge is right behind my seating area, beer is safe!

Glad to hear it! Sadly I'm off beer at the moment as I need to lose those holiday pounds. I miss beer.....

Thank you. Here are some pictures of the building process in case your are interested:

Regarding the bolts: I usually sit in the center in between these and they've never "stabbed" me . The edges of table legs are little sharp if I move against them. Since taking this picture I've added B&W Zeppelin.

How many kinext did you use? How much cost to make that desk? Got plans available would like to make my own

Thank you. Here are some pictures of the building process in case your are interested:

Very nicely done. Is there actually a threaded rod that runs through the desk or is that just for show? Also, if it DOES run through, was it done as a means to "clamp" the wood together when glueing or just for aesthetics?

Also curious where you got that wood, looks like a nice quality!

Here's the setup in my student room

 

[LimeiBook86]

Here's mine! Lots of desk space (which means lots of junk sometimes), but it gives me space to play around with various gadgets and with various projects.

Specs:
2011 27" i7 iMac
CalDigit Thunderbolt Dock (Yay USB 3!)
Wacom Intuos 3 9x12
Various external hard drives
JVC S-VHS Deck w/ Sony DVMC-DA2 (analog to digital converter)
Apple IIgs and AppleColor RGB Monitor (and floppy drives)
External BD-ROM and DVD-RW for optical funtimes

Not visible on the rack (off camera) to the right:
Older USB HP LaserJet printer (still works!)
Pioneer LaserDisc Player
Sony S-VHS deck and various PowerBooks

Thank you.

The keyboard is a Filco Majestouch Tenkeyless with brown switches, by far the best keyboard I've ever used.
The mouse is a CM Storm Spawn.. bought it because it was cheap and tiny. It's okay if you really like claw grip, but I've tried multiple firmwares on it and there always seems to be at least one thing the firmwares get horribly wrong.. It's done its job, but I wouldn't get another one if this broke.

I am looking for a mechanical keyboard. Just not sure what to go with. Have been really looking at a Ducky.

Slightly old picture (and a bit blurry) but I've been very happy with this dual screen setup. My MBA 2013 is mounted on the back of the right monitor.

Pretty happy with my setup.

what editor are you using for coding?

 

[50voltphantom]

Posted here a while ago but I've changed a few things so here it goes...

2x Dell S2340M's (love 'em)
Sony Bookshelf speakers/Lepai Amp
2012 Mini (in signature)
Macally 3.5" drive for Time Machine
Motorola Surfboard Modem
Airport Express

Desk is made completely out of K'NEX, Table top is from IKEA.

That setup is awesome. I love everything about it. A+

Here is a video I made for my home office setup, it's pretty in-depth:

Home Office Tour 2014

I create a new home office tour in the beginning of every year. Check out my office set up, including my Mac Mini. Who says this thing is under powered? It runs my business.

just a little bit, haha

 

[OMCS]

what editor are you using for coding?

It's MacVim with a custom colour scheme and a lot of plugins. I've been using it a few years now and I much prefer it to using a traditional IDE.

Him and I have an almost identical setup, but I have MBA 11" and thunderbolt display. Oh, and no speakers on my desk.

His might be "knockoff" but mine is identical and from west elm (and for sale!).

(http://www.westelm.com/products/parsons-desk-with-drawers-white-h116/)

you do know that the desk is neither made nor design by west elm right? west elm is just a reseller. their tables are imported from china and then sold to people like you and me, don't be a sucker thinking that you've bought some official genuine product or something. i wouldn't call it a knockoff. the design of our tables is not a replica of any designer table.

all in all, your table ≠ superior than mine.

My simple desk...

Don't have an Mac Pro...

Where'd you get that desk from and how much was it? I'm about to get a new apartment and I need a desk upgrade

 

[oatp1b1]

What desk is that? If you don't mind sharing?

Sorry for the late reply, but actually I'm not sure what the name of the desk is. It's an IKEA desk, and the tabletop and table legs are sold separately. I think the top is called Linnmon iirc, and I forgot the name of the legs.
