I need a bigger desk.

No you don't, what you need is to sort your stuff, and maybe a small cabinet

- Remove the top glass shelf from the left side, and have your monitor there

- move the pc to the far left of the table and sort the cables

- use the corner for the you controls, headphones, etc or have them inside a small cabinet and then have the ps3,xbox in the corner

- have a small cabinet on the far right of the table for all those HDDs, cloths cleaner, and the stuff behind the mac and you papers

- use the keyboard where it belongs in its drawer, or not

- put the subwoofer in the middle corner under the table

- also you can mount your monitor on the wall instead of the flag with all the dates

- Distribute your speakers for better sound

- and for all those cables, you either, hide them inside the cabinet bottom for example, or you can have a proper box for them

you have allot of perfectly waisted space

hey now, it's just not a flag with dates. it's a montreal canadiens stanley cup banner ;) those dates are 24 cups :p

You have plenty of space... remove the glass shelf, a soccer ball doesn't need that much space :p

What you need to do is, manage your cables....

love the suggestion, will work on it, but the bolded part, i can't do. i can't remove that shelf. beleive me, i want to REALLY REALLY badly.

and it's a liverpool soccer ball, so yeah it does ;) got that all the way in liverpool, it deserves it.

You also need to keep your subwoofer away from your cabinet! Not a good idea to keep strong magnets next to a computer!!

what cabinet? and they are z5500, it's perfectly shielded ;)

i'll work on your guyses suggestion. i have been meaning to do some mass re-organizing back there. hiding the cables is the problem for me... also the problem with the keyboard drawer is that it too small for a mouse, and playing games with the keyboard and mouse on different levels suck...

I don't get it. Why don't you use your monitor shelf for whats for? Your monitor. And use your keyboard tray for what its for. Your keyboard.

That, and tidy up the cables and you'll have a great desk. I saw this desk on Amazon and I thought it was quite nice, only in silver. Not sure if I want to keep all that glass clean though. ;)

I understand about the keyboard shelf. I didn't use the one I had on my old desk, because of the missing space for the mouse...

A good idea would be moving your keyboard, mouse monitor to the side where the MacBook is now and place the case on the right side of the desk. Then you can put your MacBook where your keyboard is now or into the corner. Subwoofer can be placed in the corner below the table..... :)

I think he will hurt his neck if he places the monitor on the shelf :p. The Keyboard shelf sucks big time, there is no space for the mouse there. So I understand why he doesn't use it :)

Wow! At least it didn't take out your computers..

yeah i guess that's a way to look at it. i still haven't tested if it killed the HDDs that were in the dock and JDOB external yet though. gives me an excuse to buy a logitech g700 mouse though.

did u loose all that just moving the setup to please a few people on here? wow.... totally not worth it!

no. while i was plugging stuff back in my KVM switch surged. it actually starting sparking and there was a tiny fire coming out of it. i should maybe upload the picture of it. Because of that, old keyboard, mouse and external caddies surged. luckily nothing else surged with it. I actually really miss my old g5 mouse. everything needed to be cleaned up anyways. the back of that desk was a cesspool of dust...

now you are talking! look much better, i hate the flags but i guess you love them :p, alternatively are you ok with the screen that high? if not why didnt you have them on the other side? and nice choice with the G700, i love it after my miserable experience with the Mamba

I normally unplug everything when I move stuff around.

everythign was unplugged. i guess when i was plugging everything back in to set it up that's when it happened.

lol yeah everyone has their own tastes i guess. if i am sitting upright the screen is fine. i only slouch on this seat when i am playing video games via my xbox controller.

I am liking the mouse so far, but still need to get used to it. I owned a razer keyboard for a day, didn't mind it but also didn't trust it because of all the critical reviews of razer's stuff, so i went logitech for everything. i am really like this keyboard though. feels like a really good laptop keyboard which i really like.

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.
    • Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud.

    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.
