Why is that Lava Lamp off??!?

My new workspace, which we set up last year. This is what it looks like when really, really clean. Things to note:

• Don't put furniture in front of doors if you plan to use them (this one's a fire exit from the group home days; all bedrooms are required to have outside doors)
• Don't buy a desk with back panels that go all the way to the floor, if you're going to set it up against the wall anyway. I had to cut big holes behind the drawer units to get wires to the plugs. What a nightmare!
• Reason two, for not to have floor-length back panels: Oops, that CD slipped off the back of the desk... (it's still there)

My wonderful old steel desk is gone now, sold on Craigslist for a mere pittance. My beautiful new desk has about 1/4 the drawer space I had before, not counting those file drawers. Someday I'll post a picture of the finished setup, but not while it's all messy, which is usually is...

I did a tour with my lens.

my desk at home (i just borrow it really - it's my dads)

theres a Mac air with SSD running OS X
a Samsung NC10 running android
a Sony Vaio for windows
and a Dual quad core Hapertown workstation with 16GB of ram and two 24" dell monitors running Ubuntu 9.04 and unfortunately radeonhd as cat 9.4 is very broken

the chair looks cool but is actually quite uncomfortable apart from the nice lumbar support...

oh and the desk is a solid oak kitchen table. Very nice and so big it hides any mess!

sorry about the bad picture my nokia n82 decided to flash rather badly

Hell yeah! Some people use their comps for more than just internet and a few games.

indeed, its mainly used for virtualisation and development. Actually for games it would kinda suck, it can only run vista 64 and has an ATI 4550, which probably can't even run max payne at 1920x1200! And the cpus are only at 2.5ghz (albeit with 12MB L2) so it wouldnt run as nicely as on a high end core2 (most games struggle with 2 threads!)

I got given a £2k budget for that pc, i think it ended up up at 2.1k, but originally was going to have 8GB of ram but then realised thats only 1gb per core, so I looked around for some cheapish FB-DIMMS (DDR2 registered is not what fits in these intel boxes and either way registered mem is alot pricier), so ended up with 16GB. The idea was to have alot of processing power mainly though.

Alright, up at school now. The apartments I'm in provide desks that are too small, so I took the top shelf part off and set it next to the desk, it is sooo much nicer this way! Then I took my closet doors off and shoved the whole thing in there, it just barely fits and by just barely fits I mean is the perfect size! Really lucked out on this and I couldn't ask for anything more! The only bad part is it's all inside my closet, which is in my bathroom, but considering I never have guests it works for now.

Also bad part, there are no outlets in bathrooms, and I still need to get a long enough extension cord. But whatever, I think it's really cool. And I love using the stability/exercise ball as a chair.

Thought it might be worth digging this one up.

Not technically "my" desk, this is our on-air studio set-up.

The screen closest to the camera is the control system for the Axia desk, then the two screens for the RCS Play-out system. The PC on the extreme right show the picture from earlier in the thread showing Iridemymuni and Monkeyman's desk set-ups on my previous set-up. It's 4 generations deep by now.
The screen you can just see behind that PC is the one the newsreaders use, it runs a program called Newsboss.

The studio is housed in an elevated room overlooking the parking-lot of a shopping centre.
