I am trying to find a new desk, but to no avail. It's got to be thin, about 3/4 of a metre wide. Any ideas?

iMac looks huge on that desk heh!

Desks are so important I think and can affect the whole workflow... it annoys me they give you such crap ones in student houses! (Right now I either have to type... or have my textbook on there. I cannot do both. God forbid I should ever want to do any writing.)

Yeah I do really needa better one, and would buy one in an instant if I could get one that fits.. I have strict space requirements which most desks can't fill. :[ Especially modern ones.. they're huge.

Same here. Now imagine trying to fit TWO machines on that same desk! :laugh:

Its mainly a media pc for myself, games tv movies etc. I'm not really trying to look at the full screen if I'm using it for "pc" related tasks. And the plastic wrap is well, I figured why take it off. The dust looks worse to me, plus when I sell the tv for a newer model it will be that much newer heh. I know, I know...

It's called polishing. And if you spend 30 seconds every couple of days doing it, you will never see any dust. That plastic ... if it's cool for you, great. But that plastic looks freaking horrible. lol

It isn't what the specs are, it's what you need out of the PC, if that's all you need it for then it's fine. Yeah I'd love a super awesome desktop PC, but at the moment my laptop suffices.

At the moment, even though the HD resolution of my 24" monitor is nice, I'm lacking in space on my desk, with the printer there as well. :pinch:

Wow, an eMac. I haven't seen those before. Any good for current times?

For a six year old computer, it's pretty good for basic tasks like web browsing and chatting. The only bad thing is that it takes up half of my desk, but I got a really good deal on it and wanted to get a taste of the Apple. :p

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
