Post Your Workstation Photos

[Hypoxiaicon]

Glass Desks look cool but I'd imagine finger prints, smudges etc would be annoying.

Id also think twice about thowing my wallet down it :blink:

Also, You have to use a ugly mouse pad :(

[IK47]

I have a glass desk as well and in no way do I regret getting it.  I think it looks more sleek and it isn't as big a deal as IK says it is.

It does look very sleep, thats why I bought it. I guess its not as bad as I said it is.

If you don't like my workstation, then you can use neowinlite with no pictures. then you will never see it again. Happy?

<3Windex Wipes :)

[IK47]

^^ I use windex spray.

Once my desk is clean, it looks pro.

But a minute later, you see dust particles on the desk.

Thats what annoys me.

but, what can you do right?

its all good. :happy:

Dude, your setup is great, but there is no need posting it so much.

[IK47]

my *temporary* setup as my desk broke and is now in pieces.  Waiting for a new desk, plus the flooring where my desk was has to be redone.

which keyboard is that?

looks pretty cool.

IK, for what you need 4 LCDs?

[Scraggles]

IK .:. 47, you should mount one of those monitors up on the wall, and have a central monitor. Sort of in an upside down T, like that funky tetris piece. I was thinking of getting a 4th monitor, but A) It was a waste of money, and B) It was 100% pointless. I do a lot of programming now and that's why I have it set up the way I do, however, I recently converted the leftmost monitor to a linux box so it's no longer 3 screens on 1 machine. No matter how sexy it looks, it was 1 big waste.

One thing I am glad about, I didn't waste as much money as you IK, hahaha poor soul. BTW, do you even have all 4 monitors hooked up? I skipped a few pages and last I saw only 2 monitors were running.

[IK47]

omg scraggles!

I only bought them because you told me too!

remember not too long ago I pmed you about it?

then you said it was good?

omg, $2300 down the drain...

Im definately thrwoing these away.

[Gotchaforce]

well at least i know IK 47 and "candyshop" may have a bunch of monitors but cant take pictures worth a dime. Maybe they should sell one and get some photography lessons.

I use the spray too, but for slight touch ups I use the wipes. But then it doesn't look right with part of it being clean so I have to do the whole desk. And yea, mine gets dusty instantly too. That part sucks, but I like having glass overall. :)

I agree with you 108% When I take pictures with my dad's nikon, they all turn out nice though. Its just with this stupid sony that they come out all unfocused and with bad lighting. 80mm forever!!

Did he?

[nvizible]

Also, You have to use a ugly mouse pad :(

585328841[/snapback]

well...

a. mousepads are NOT ugly if you get a *real* mousepad. not some ratpadz bs or sumthin. go for either a steelpad s&s or qpad xxxl lowsense. or, if you like pure cloth and not hybrids or plastic, you can get the steelpad qck+

b. all those ppl saying "does a mousepad make such a difference". YES YES YES YES YES! without a mousepad i would be driven made by the inaccuracy and as well by the NOISE! just try out a steelpad s&s with a good mouse and some skatez... i promise you that you will be amazed by the difference! if something happened to my steelpad i would seriously commit suicide :p

oh ye, and its worth mentioning that almost ALL pro gamers use steelpad s&s's. these include sk-gaming, astralis, d-skyline, alternate attax, mouzesports, pcg, Skolpojkarna, pentragram.cnn, 3d, D!E, MIBR. the only two pro teams i know of who dont use them are EYEBALLERS and NoA (who recently won cpl winter) they use qpads and x-ray pads respectively.

i cant believe how many people here dont use pads. its blasphemy. you cant call urself anything in computing without a decent pad :rofl: and ppl spend so much on mouses, the least you could do is to let the mouses be accurate!

BUY MOUSEPADS!!! :angry:

soz for all the banging on, just really does make a massive diff. :yes:

[skybl4ck]

I got a func mouse pad and it seems that the steelpad looks a lot better :(

Maybe you should've used your head?

[Scraggles]

Hello,

I really admire your 3 LCD setup, and was wondering how to go about and get myself one.  Just wondering,,

What type of graphics cards do you need to support 3 monitors?

Do you get good performance in games?

Is your setup on Analogue or DVI?

What size monitor is the best?

Currently, I own a 17" dell ultrasharp, and am thinking of either getting a 2001FP or two more 17" ones.

Thanks,

IK

Thanks. I use 2 video cards. Both are GeForce FX5200's. One AGP, which one monitor is plugged into, and the second has the other two plugged in, which is PCI. The whole setup is analogue. I'd say if your going to get any other LCD's go straight for BenQ. BenQ is the company that manufactures dell LCD's.

I don't get good performance on games, because the card I use for games sucks. I'm going to be upgrading it to a 6800 ultra at the end of this month.

Oh okay,

So all i have to do is a buy a pci graphics card? good. Thanks for your help.

IK

well not as fancy as some other ppl's with lots of money... but here is my after-newyears update.

more images at link in sig.

[FatCat]

that is a really nice setup fatcat, i love the desk, we have them at work . . . but I still love my old school ikea drafting table (pure quality unlike some new stuff)

585326967[/snapback]

sweet desk FatCat....where'd ya pick it up?.....Nice set up too.....simple and streamlined....me likes..

585327005[/snapback]

Very nice! (Y)

585327140[/snapback]

I agree!!! I love that desk... and the cleanliness of your setup! :D

585327163[/snapback]

Love your setup FatCat. It reminds me of mine only better and less cluttered.

585327619[/snapback]

Cool desk, I'm tempted by a nice glass desk. Could be my next purchase...

585328200[/snapback]

thanks guys :)

I have this desk http://www.officemax.com/max/solutions/pro...ckOID=537078873

I wasn't expecting to find anything nice at Officemax but the desk spoke to me it was perfect. It does get kinda dusty but I have this nice cotten cloth I had with my glasses it takes the dust off with one swipe I don't have to spend a lot of time scrubbing. And yes the holes on the keyboard and mouse thing (what ever you call it) sucks I tried putting a piece of paper underneath twice but ended up picking up a really thin mouse pad. Most importantly the table was so simple to put toghether.
