I gave my 32" Trinton CRT a year back to my sisters boyfriend for his dorm. Took 3 people to get it into the truck, but free is free.

Nice! What resolution do you generally run it at?

I believe 1080 x 480, or something like that.

I believe 1080 x 480, or something like that.

O_O its almost the same aspect ratio as on cinema screens (2:35:1)

I think you are mistaken...

She probably meant 1080x1480

 

[eXan]

She probably meant 1080x1480

It still isnt 4:3 aspect ratio her monitor has.

 

[bluedoggiant]

either way, the res is terrible...i bet

I wish the Mikael desk was like a foot and half long and a little deeper

 

[schreck]

Definitely some fantastic set ups.

My Setup

All this talk of CRTs... I'm currently sitting in front of a 21" IBM P275 Trinitron. I recently upgraded from LCDs back to CRTs again. In fact, I have 5x 21" Trinitrons. They're easily the best looking monitors ever made, even compared to modern high-end LCDs.

Hey I'm interested in getting that same desk - how do you like it? Is the glass at a noticeably higher level?

I believe that's the Ikea Mikeal desk with glass top.

I have the birch one. Living in the Twin Cities has its perks...such as a local Ikea no more than 10 minutes away!

I live in Downtown Seattle and IKEA is like 20 minutes drive from my home (Considering you drive for 80Mph). I really envy you.

Nice Porsche Carrera GT's you got there.

Oh, you're setup is pretty cool too.

 

[bc008]

can i see some images of these giant crt's?

The desk is perfect because it is a shelf and desk in one. U can slip things underneath the glass and the glass is level with the frame so it does not stick out. The legs are not attached to it and the top frame simply sits on the legs so it is very easy to move!

 

[theMaccer]

Hey. Where did you get the desk from? I like it very much, too.

 

[razorianfly]

New Setup and Wallpaper!
(Yes, the lamp is Ikea)

 

[iMpathetic]

Did somebody say CRTs?

Did somebody say simplification?

 

[iCheddar]

Well played sir.

I award you +20 internets.

 

[Romeo604]

Ikea! You can also get it in different colours.

Another shot:

 

[iMpathetic]

I think I'm addicted. Anyway, I'm really comfortable with this layout, and I finally figured out how to use the blinky thing on my camera!

Still the powerbook, E248WFP, MX Revolution, and Aluminum keyboard.

Comments are more than welcome.

 

[steinlager]

Hey, I was thinking of getting the E248WFP. How do you like it?

 

[SkyBell]

i was talking about intel in the second line, its only better.

In that case, I'd have to disagree. PPC is far more efficient and the price markups they have put on the Intel machines are unreal...

Anyway, yeah, here's my iBook G4.
