How strong is the Gallant? Been looking at them for a while but I've head some people say that Ikea desks aren't to be trusted with expensive computer equipment - does the Gallant start to get a bit wobbly if you move it at all? I haven't seen one up close so I'm not sure how well it's contstructed - are all the joints metal to metal, or are there any wood to wood/wood to metal ones? (if that makes sense).

I've got a single piece with the adjustable A legs and it's wobbly as gently caress due to the legs being REALLY HARD to adjust for complete levelness. But it's sturdy. I regularly stand on my desk (65 kilos here, or 140 pounds) to close the window and such (they open outwards and I can't lean that far out to reach the handle). Getting T legs will probably solve the wobble problem. The metal frame and wood is perfectly fine strength-wise.

unless i convert a bunch of poo poo to wireless, that whole area inevitably becomes a mass of peripherals, wires, cds, dvds, and books. :(

the most obnoxious is the rca cable running from the 360 to the tv. so ghetto.

That it is, sir. A roommate of mine who recently moved out left it actually, but I've had success finding the exact same super huge poster on ebay. They should go for around $20. Good eye though!

Ok, where can I buy a cart like that in the UK? I have looked in the usual places online (Ikea, Wickes, Homebase and B&Q) and can't seem to find anything like it.

Any ideas?

Where do you get a cart like that in the US? That looks pretty amazing for my needs.

I'm embarrassed to say, but at an anime convention. I was actually looking for a purple pikmin, which is the only color I am missing. :shobon: When I saw Tom Nook, I knew I had to nab one.

It was in the apartment when we moved in so I couldn't say. I'll take a look at it when I get home tonight and see if there is a brand name or model # on it anywhere.

I wish it was wide enough that I could put all three of the towers on the bottom rack. As it is, though, it's a pretty sturdy cart that works wonderfully for holding all of my equipment.

Staples has a desk collection called the 'loft' series that would match the shelving unit you have on the left.
