Ok here is my new setup, took me most of boxing day to get these all setup, the table had to be re sanded and re surfaced. I also wired up network data points under neath the desk for easy access if a friend brings there machine around etc.

I can't find my camera so i had to take this with my mobile phone hence the poor quality

I am still waiting on my new keyboard This is for my windows rig s the macbook has a wireless keyboard anyway. I hate the look of cables on desks.

Screen on the left - Connected to my windows rig, screen on the right is also connected to the windows rig. I do a lot of Remote admin work so i just switch it on to use the dual monitors. At the moment my macbook is connected to it via mini dvi.

I am still waiting also for my cable sleeves to hide those cables coming out from the desk.

Yep, a 20" Core Duo iMac, as spec-ed in my sig.

Nick, I had that iMac - and its display puts my 24" C2D (also white) to absolute shame. Those had such gorgeous displays. Regret handing it off to my folks - but they NEEDED an iMac. (so sick of fixing their PC every other day)

Anyhow - real purpose of this - who makes that desk? Is it sturdy? I'm looking for a new desk, and I'm torn between a MEGA ULTRA GIGANTIC table / desk - or a smaller one like that. Point is - my desk is old and has a .7 human-leg width, then drawers and a type-writer "tray" - so in spite of being huge, I can't MOVE at all. I want to have some range of movement - you know, so my junk isn't crushed constantly.

Thoughts?

updated my setup, finally, new WD HD

PAST (not my set-up anymore, set-up pictures in "PRESENT" Section)[OLD SETUP]:

CIMG1256.jpg

CIMG1257.jpg

3.2Ghz Intel Pentium 4 Processor, 1 gig ram, 230GB HD (Maxtor), Nvidia GEForce, 18inch, the link to the page----it was great, i have to say... but lets get REAL (below)!!!

PRESENT:

I am a student, my desk is clean so that i can welcome my imac (got it late november), i garuntee you that it will be messy by the end of december, bose companion 2's are awesome, 2.1, built in subwoofer, magnetic shields so that they dont mess up the HD, canon pixma mp470, awesome, speedy, highly recommend, bose and canon cost $100, imac spec is in signature, but ill restate:

imac 24 inch
2.8Ghz core 2 extreme processor
2 gigs ram
500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10
ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro

my setup:


CIMG2295.jpg
CIMG2296.jpg



new macbook:
CIMG2309.jpg
CIMG0068.jpg


new camera, upgrade from Casio Exilim EX-Z1000 to Casio Exilim EX-Z1080, more colors, much prettier, if you look closely you can see the drivers in the speakers, i had to resize the image :*(, if i didnt, the drivers would have been easier to see:
CIMG0034.jpg


yup, thats everything, from my imac, bose companion 2's, canon mp470 printer, mb, mbp, imac, keyboards, and mice:
CIMG0073.jpg


close up on the keyboards/mice, the mighty mouse one on the right is the old one, the one on the left is the new one (you can tell by the color of the side buttons), left old keyboard-wired-french, right old keyboard-wireless-english, upper right new keyboard, obviously wireless:
CIMG0074.jpg


ipod, se w580i (at&t), cut of new wired keyboard, new wired mighty mouse hidden:
CIMG0076.jpg



UPDATE--NEW PIX!!

NEW WD 500GB!!! its a studio edition, hooked up by FW800, its hiding behind the mac, dont notice it at all, its there, but you cant see it:p:
CIMG0116.jpg


new setup:
CIMG0117.jpg



my little non-digital dashboard of gadgets:rolleyes::
CIMG0118.jpg
CIMG0119.jpg



CIMG0120.jpg

back, wires, belkin usb hub, WD Ex HD:
CIMG0121.jpg


from my bed, great for movies:
CIMG0123.jpg
CIMG0124.jpg

CIMG0128.jpg


from eye view, normal distance from eyes when using the computer normally:
CIMG0129.jpg


very cool looking:
CIMG0085.jpg


artistic, my avatar too (yes i took that picture, no photoshop, real), also setting as my desktop picture, i have a 4 megabyte version for my 24 inch screen, its very detailed and sharp on it, its very beautiful, you can see the little details of the aluminum, its really something, if you want it, look at the link below :):
CIMG0086.jpg


apple symbol of imac (high res): http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa70/bluedoggiant/CIMG0086-2.jpg - but heres the down side of it, photobucket was gay enough to bum its res down a bit, so its not as crystal clear, so if you have a 24 inch imac, this may not look as beautiful as it does for me, any other screen smaller, like 23 inch, would view it fine, the coolest part about it, only applys to people with glossy screens, since the apple symbol is black, you cant see your self in the screen, but you can see yourself in the apple symbol :D, so its like your in the apple, only, move out, you wont see yourself on the Alu :D, its pretty cool, taken with my Casio Exilim EX-Z1080

tell me what you think!!!

It's actually an old IKEA Jerker that is now out of production. You can still find them used occasionally though. It's sturdy as a rock, and even though it isn't very wide, it's quite deep (over 3 feet), so there is plenty of space, as well as expandable storage.

If you can find one, I'd definitely go for it, though IKEA does make a model now that is similar, called the Frederik (I think).

I got a new camera today (Canon A570 IS), so I figured I would post some new pictures of what my room is like. Please note I have done no cleaning, this is a "normal" room for me. Maybe I'll clean it up after the new year and post back what it's like when it's all pretty.

All the papers and crap on my desk are the backlog of mail and crap from over the holidays -- I'm way behind at the moment, so pardon the mess. Also, my bed isn't made which isn't rare, but isn't normal. Finally, over in the corner near my guitar all that crap in the floor isn't mine; my roommates sister is storing some stuff in here until she gets a place to live, so I'm helping her out. :)

Just moved to the Dallas area for work and got my ideal setup.
Desk is the Mikael from ikea with "lack" printer table and shelves.
desk3.jpg


The drawers can be pulled out to make more desk space if I need it:
desk4.jpg


The little LACK table keeps the printer and internet setup mostly out of view but easy to reach. I like the usb port on the airport extreme (N wireless) so any computer in the apartment can print at any time.
desk5.jpg


I wanted some way to hold my DVDs without a large bookcase taking up too much of the small room. Winning design by my gf was two LACK shelves from ikea on the wall and it looks really cool.
desk7.jpg


My computers are a Athlon XP 3500+, Geforce 6800 gaming PC connected to a 23" Apple Cinema Display that badly needs updated. I love my Flight Sim 2004 and FSX and other PC games so it's hard to give up my Windows XP setup. Also starring my 2.0Ghz CD Macbook Pro that does internet work at home, but runs everything (games) when I am on the go.

Man, we've got some pretty nice setups here, I'm trying to convince my dad to get me a desk from Ikea, my desk is nice and everything, it has a cockboard built right in, a door in it, 6 mini shelves that are hidden, 2 speaker cubby wholes 3 cubby holes for files and stuff, a drawer, a file drawer, and a PC box holder, useless now for my imac, apart from that, the actual desk real-estate that i have is VERY little:mad:. So my imac's monstrous, sexy body, is taking over the desk with its to sidekicks, the 2 bose companion 2's, and my WD 500gb studio edition external, which right now im trying to hide behind my imac to save desk space, you can see my setup in the link in my sig. or just go up a couple posts :). I have a sauder, does anyone recommend to me a Beech Vineer color desk from Ikea that is no more that $450? I also need desk space for my school work, and just life, if you see my pix, desk a while back with my PC was crowded and junky with magazines, why? i had room, now, look at the new pix, hard to believe i dont even have room to make a mess:eek::eek:
