I haven't made dramatic changes from the structure of my desk since the last time I participated, but here is my latest desk.

What desk do you have? I am looking for a new desk, and I really like how large the keyboard tray is on yours.

The desk is a Sauder Executive.

What wrist rest is that in front of the keyboard?

It is a Grifiti Fat Wrist Pad.

I had also posted on Reddit and I got asked a fair bit of questions about the setup and I have answered lots of them. Including stuff like how my SSDs are doing in RAID 0 without TRIM. So you can check the comments there too :)

What chair is that and did it help your pain?

This chair, http://www.simply-ergonomic.co.uk/enjoy-office-chair-p-2.html really expensive but worth it. You do have to build it when it arrives, but the quality is amazing. My favorite part is the base and the back, really comfortable. The neck rest is an extra comfort as well. I have notice when I play computer games it's really easy to relax now and actually enjoy it. It is helping my pain but I am on physio treatment so going to take me a long time to get better but the chair helps :).

I haven't made dramatic changes from the structure of my desk since the last time I participated, but here is my latest desk. The biggest adjustment was to do all matching screens. So I have 3xDell U2410. I also switched from my old Logitech MX 5500 KB set to the DAS Pro and SteelSeries Sensi.

Overall, I'm happy with the state of my system at the moment.

Got my new screen last week. Still not entirely sure if I'm going to keep it but it looks awesome on my desk atm (middle one):

Then again this isn't much of a "Work" station anymore since I can't get xampp running on Windows 8 properly :p

Is that game Mechassault?

I know some people are gonna think I'm a jackass for saying this (and I know I can be), but I'll say it nonetheless.

Judging by the pictures posted in this thread (and the older ones with the same title, created previous years), it seems to me that the vast majority have understood that "show us your workstations" means your work area, your desk setup, your office (home or otherwise), that sort of thing.

So I've come to appreciate these threads, as it's giving me (and others, I'm sure) ideas for how to better organize myself and my work surroundings (I'm a software developer, working from home). At some point I'm gonna have myself a desk custom-made--seriously influenced by the best ideas obtained here--so keep 'em coming, I say. Ikea furniture, eat your heart out.

So it always makes me laugh when I invariably see this smaller subset of people posting pictures of the insides of their computer(s). I'm not speaking on anyone's behalf but my own, but I feel they've completely missed the point of this thread.

Just putting it out there. Not trolling. Well, not entirely at least. There's this thread, there's the "share your desktop wallpaper" threads, there's the Hardware Hangout section, which is probably more appropriate...may I suggest the "share your neon lights and clear plastic computer side-panel window" threads?

Ok, maybe that last part was gratuitous, but I think I've made my point. Yes, I know I can just keep scrolling--which I do. And no, nobody died and made me king of forums. Whatever.

What about the "show us your server" thread? Where it's people posting their workplace network.

show us YOUR server... simple fact is, people can't read so let them get on with it.

My part of the desk at work. I'll post my home one this weekend

Despite my (fairly poor) efforts to resize after uploading, the image remains MASSIVE and requires a lot of zooming out.

Thanks. I love it. I now work from home primarily thanks to a new job and I added a docking station for the work laptop. It is definitely a lot better to work at than it was to use the computers at work.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
