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 got a glass L desk from officemax and it's niiiiice. there'a a pic of it somewhere here in this thread... fits my dual monitors nicely and have plenty of room for the printer and speakers and everything else.

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 :)

so i started rewiring/organizing everything and my KVM surged during the move. caught fire. it was pretty crazy. took my g5 with it (RIP greatest mouse ever), my new keyboard and most likely my JBOD external and my hard drive dock... good times. Expensive remodel....

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.

talk ish now jerks.... :p

RIP Logitech G5, Eagletech JBOD external HDD caddy, Thermaltake BlacX HDD dock and a logitech illuminated wireless keyboard (luckily i was able to exchange it).

The replacement Eagle JBOD external caddy, Thermaltake BlacX Duel HDD dock is still coming, but i got a g700 to replace the g5 :)

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.

    • Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.
    • No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.
