I remember when they started showing up in the office. People could choose what they wanted and the company ordered them. There were many that didn't last long-term. The one in the picture here looks like it's built like a tank.

The lifting columns weigh like 25 kg each 😂

It's made by LINAK and we bought them back in the early 2000's. They have a much more svelte option now called the Desk Frame 2 but I didn't feel like just throwing these away. I have some more in storage.

I could definitely cut off that back-brace thingy at the back on the floor and most of the aluminum profile under the desk. It's ridiculously overbuilt for its current application!

I have work/computer tables in my house. The are 3 feet by 6 feet and I think that they can support 700-1,000 pounds of equipment. The frame is all steel construction. Digital Equipment Corporation had closed several plants and they were selling their office equipment to employees really cheap. I got 2 of these tables for $20 each back in the 1990s.

I like sturdy as you can use them for more than just what you intended to buy them for.

32-inch Dell UP3218K (7680x4320)
Mac Studio (M2 Max)
2TB Samsung 990 Pro (USB4 NVMe enclosure)
2TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus (TB3 NVMe enclosure)
Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numpad
Magic Mouse
Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming mouse
Logitech G840 XL Gaming mouse pad and old silicone wrist rest
Sennheiser cans
Table with electric height adjustment measuring 150 x 62 cm (salvaged from the CRT era so it can lift 250 kg and made of solid steel and aluminum, it originally held a much deeper desk in two parts that could tilt and lift the CRT screen separately)

I usually change between sitting and standing if I am doing prolonged sessions in front of the screen. I also have a footrest and missing from the picture is the usual coffee cup 😂

Still working on cable management but need to install network sockets with keystones in the wall (behold the ethernet cable dangling down from the wall), run ethernet in the wall, paint the walls and put up better wall-mounted lighting 😅

Very nice setup, congrats.
Which ssd enclosures are you using? I’m not sure which to go for.

It took six of us about thirty minutes to move our large-format HP-lease up one flight of stairs . . . the frame on your SD would make ours weep from sturdy-envy :)

I'm finally part of the club. Yay. Picked up my refurbished M2 Max 12/38 64GB 2TB on the weekend. Photo taken right after setting it up. So the desk isn't this empty and clean anymore ;)

The screens are two Dells: U3223QE on the left, P2715Q on the right.

Very happy how quiet and powerful this little box is.

You wouldn't happen to have links to your two ST:SNW wallpapers, would you?

Thanks for the explanation of your desk! I was thinking good grief what does it do, lift 2 tons or something? 🤣
Sounds like a funky desk though with all those features. I got my first standing desk last year and love it.

I have a pretty basic setup where I can still network into my cMP.

So far, I still refuse to give up my 30-inch Apple Cinema Display and Bose Soundsystem, which I purchased in March 2008! I'm using an OWC Thunderbolt port for the display, and it works well.

How are you connecting the Bose speakers? Mine stopped working when I bought the Mac Studio with the original usb Bose cable. I then bought a usb c cable and that worked but only intermittently. When I say intermittently I have to keep toggling them on and off to work and when they do it might only be for an hour or so. I’m gutted as they still work great on my old machine.

I had a hard time getting them to work initially as well.

I’m still using the original cable, but I have them plugged into an always on USB hub.

Ahh the usb hub.. I’ve not got one but have heard people got it working that way and again some people it’s not. Which hub do you use?

i Was going to buy new speakers but found it impossible to find any reviews on a decent set and I think our Bose ones still sound fantastic
