Well I've finally pulled my finger out and taken some shots of my new office.
My previous office was one of the largest rooms in the house and was a complete waste of such a large space. It also was our spare bedroom so I had to work around chaos when people were staying. So the plan was to create an all new office in what was the nursery.
I took everything back to the floorboards and laid all new cabling and completely redecorated. It was a royal pain in the backside, but well worth the effort. I wanted the end result to have as few cables and other rubbish on show as possible. I'm very happy with the results.
To answer as many of the questions you may have I've put some info by all the pics.
A general shot of the desk, it's an Ikea Mikael. After building two desk for my previous office I decided to go down the ikea route this time as it was quicker and had a better ability to hide the cables.
A bit of a wider shot showing the Ikea besta cupboard on the right it stores lots of my files and other odds and ends. The Car on the top is actually a computer. It's one of several I've built, this being the final and most perfect one. It certainly catches most guests eye first.
Here you can see my setup. It's a unibody Apple Macbook hooked up to a 20in cinema display (Mounted on a Humanscale M7 Vesa mount). I've also got the superb apple keyboard and logitech mx revolution mouse. The irreplacable Apple iPhone 3G, along with a BT Reveal telephone
A great shot of my custom made seat using a Cobra clubman car seat and an old office chair base. The picture is a panoramic shot of Clifton Suspension bridge in Bristol
In this shot you can see the cables all hidden behind the desk along with usb hub, tv card and external hard drive.
Look ma no cables!
An ordinary cupboard? No....
Behind the right hand door is a hidden testing station for clients computers.
A closer up shot of this, you can see the monitor stand I built to allow the keyboard and mouse to slide underneath.
With both doors open you can see the filing cabinet and further storage. I'm so glad I decided to go this route.
