@cleanup, do have the link for that blue wallpaper? And those widgets you are using, are from W7?

I've already placed a link for the wallpaper earlier. The widgets are Konfabulator (Yahoo Widget Engine) widgets and a freeware program called Rainlendar.

Rainlendar is not available for Mac OS X, IIRC, but the Konfab widgets are also running on my MBP. They're "widesapeWeather" and "Simple Text Clock" or something like that.

Thank you

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.

The desk is from Cost Plus World Market. It's called the Newton Desk. Solid wood! :)

Added a Dell S2009W monitor, Logitech Z4 monitors and an LED light from Target. Now I can see my keyboard and materials on my desk!! Haha. Don't need light to type, but I sure as hell was having trouble finding my keybinding in WoW. ><

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.

It's an ikea besta cupboard. It comes in various different shapes, colours and sizes depending on what you need. That one is a double width one to allow me to have the filing alongside.

It's an LED lamp so is doesn't produce hardly any heat. Top of lamp is completely cool and bulbs are only warm-ish upon touching... but even then not really at all.

The lamp actually shines on the 9"-12" in front of the computer where I set down books and things to read when studying and such.

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

Hi Gordy, Any more pictures and information on the chair? I was thinking about this the other day and seeing yours has motivated me. I would have my uncle weld me up a bracket to put the seat on the base of a chair, and any information would be helpful!
