I have that same desk... it has cable management stuff built into it... did you loose it? there's little clamps for the cables. They clamp onto the back of the desk. I loved that. It actually came as a suprise since I had no clue it had it. LOL.

Yeah I have it still on the back.. Problem is all this stuff I just added, so I haven't gotten back there to start putting them in it. .

Where did the chair come from and how much was it? I am looking for a new chair, and I like ones with cloth on the arms

[remixedcat]

I got mine at officemax... don't remember the price though.

Love the case. Can't do that here in Oklahoma though. Too much dust in the air. If I didn't have to open the windows to save on electricity every now and then, I'd be all over a case like that.

What do you use all them monitors for? it doesn't look very practical to me, but i'm sure you have your reasons.

All these black desks are making me want to change my man cave color scheme which is red walls, white everything else, to black everything else.

[Roger H. Veteran]

how do you guys keep your houses so clean????

LOL, OMG -not saying she doesn't keep her place clean but it's so typical of women (that i know) these days. They come to my place and they go, "WOW!, you're place is so clean for a guy." It seems the rolls have switched as when I was a kid I was the biggest slob ever and girls were always perfectly neat and tidy. Now I go to my female friends bedrooms (the rest of the house is fine) and it looks like a tornado went thru there! There's clothes and crap everywhere!!

And oooooh i want that Samsung Monitor (the one with the lighting behind it - and yes i know it's not built in :D)

solitaire.......

Usually I have the two outside ones turned off when not in use. When all are on, its general for when I am either working on college work or doing some web design/development. Dreamweaver, Photoshop or Flash, and browser to test all get one monitor each. Last monitor is reserved for chat clients, music player, solitaire....

[ccoltmanm]

In my bedroom. But I did just buy a new house with my girlfriend, so next month I will have a new setup.

Thanks...it is deathly quiet...which is the best part. Just blow it out with some compressed air every once in a while and you're good. My dog's loose hair is the worse problem. :)

I need one of those for my development and jtag xbox's. :woot:

Updated workstation after making a trip to IKEA :p I added some Dioder light strips behind my desk and monitor for some nice backlighting.

And a few more pictures:

That looks really good :D... I have been thinking about doing the backlightning stuff myself, but have not found anything good.... Did you buy the LED strips in Ikea and can it change color?

[Zain Adeel]

how much did the lighting cost??? looks UBER cool!

Haha, thanks :)

Yep, I used a set of DIODER lights from Ikea. $39 CAD for a set of four strips! There's a small dial that allows you to change the colour.

There's also two buttons on the dial that allow you to set it to automatically flip and fade between colours.
