I try to manage the cables but with 8 sata devices and power cords everywhere it dosen't work out well. Also I change out different hardware almost bi-weekly thus thwarting my attempts at effective cable management.

That's just an excuse, I swap hardware probably more than you and my wiring's not bad.

I'm not sure if this would be the appropriate forum for posting this, but I actually couldn't think of a better place to post this.

I've seen some fantastic Workstation setups here - really, very impressive work by many.

I have recently had a spot of good luck during the long stretch of problem-after-problem over the last 4 years, so I'm asking for just a small bit of help here. The "spot of good luck" has been my very-recent-and-free aquisition of an IKEA Jerker desk....sans the swing-out stands that attach on either side of the vertical rails.

In short: if anyone has any spares that they are not needing / using I'd be forever grateful if you could send me a PM. Since IKEA re-named the desk as the Fredrick, it seems like none of the stores have those stands. We're not in a very good financial position right now (waiting for SSI Disability to kick-in), so the least cost the better.

To Forum mods: Please forgive this post, but I'm out of options and thought that the friendships here could prove to be usefull. If anyone has other, reasonable options, please let me know.

Thanks!

An update for IKEA Fans:

JERKR != FREDRIK

I examined the FREDRIK desk up-close & personal at IKEA the other day, and the vertical risers are NOT the same: no holes at 4" intervals up and down each riser, only shelf attachment slots on the inside of the risers.

Just an FYI...

Yeah, that's correct. There aren't the holes like the JERKER. I'm using a FREDRIK now - I wish I could use the JERKER, but my room is a little too small :p

Yeah, the JERKER just seems to be significantly sturdier than the FREDRIK. The steel used in the FREDRIK line seems to be thinner overall.

      My problem with FF is I have to jump through hoops to get at least somewhat close to what Vivaldi gives me out of the box, with no real advantage that would make it worth my while. (But hey, apparently there's now at least experimental support for HDR in FF. I mean it's about a decade too late, but still...finally!) Brave I was never the least interested in, never saw the point, not to mention there's been quite a bit of drama surrounding them over the years. But I've been a faithful and very happy Opera user all the way back to 2001(ish), so once Vivaldi showed up following that awkward period of time after the key people left Opera and the company was sold, I never really looked back. And they never once made me question my choices.

      I see it has more memory, more storage, a better CPU, and a stylus, as you said. Might be a good alternative. I see some refurbished for $150-200. I'm not scared of refurnbished, as a lot of parts in my house are refurbished/used. All are working atm.

      "TeamViewer is the fast, simple and friendly solution for remote access over the Internet" Regarding the "friendly" description, has is stopped unceremoniusly booting your session after a couple of minutes accusing you of using it in a commercial environment?!
