(lovely camcorder picture)

This desk is so horribly made that the wire holes for connecting the top to the bottom are offset by an inch. I need to use a hook to get the wires through.

My keyboard is a 10 year old IBM KB9910 that I got in a lot of 10 from eBay from $10.

I just got a new house and didn't have a desktop for a while. But I did have a huge rear end kitchen table. So I wound up moving my PC from the floor to the table and liked it so much that I bought another table when it came time. Got it for about $75 from the scratch and dent section of Target. I can put a pizza and a case of beer on my desk and still be able to mouse about freely.

I've seen the black desk a few pages back. Was it just me or was the edge of the keyboard tray really freaking sharp? when I used it I had to have a tshirt wrapped around the entire thing.

Not that I ever do it because I'm a lazy oval office, those spiral cable things that hold everything together are good at keeping everything tidy, also, never underestimate the humble cable tie, it's the perfect invention (cable ties are definitely something I use a lot of)

that's a dangerous place to put those nice headphones :-) you can buy stands (and in fact, i think the 595s might have came with one?)

Desk buddy! I think we have the same chair, too. Good old Walmart? I haven't had a problem with the tray being sharp..just too small. I barely have room for my keyboard and mousepad..and the keyboard isn't even that big. I got a G11 for Christmas and I can forget about using it comfortably.

So what are headphone stands for? I have some 555s that I usually just set down on my desk, and they haven't exploded into thousands of pieces or anything yet.

Nope, it's actually the 24" version http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236048

I like it a lot, except for the fact that the webcam doesn't work and the price dropped about $50 after I bought it. It's a great monitor, though.

First off, hopefully nobody is buying "headphone stands", since banana stands do the same thing for a lot cheaper.



This is actually cool, somebody used some Ikea parts that were not meant to be a stand:

The 555 are <$100 headphones. Just wait till you get some HD600s or other >$300 cans.

Cheap headphones or not, I'm still not clear on why they should be on a stand when not in use. Like, is there a particular reason headphones should be stored standing up, or is it just because it looks nice? It seems like a lot of wasted space to me.

I'm pretty sure people just do it because it looks nice. I've been trying to figure out what I want to do about mine since I can't stand how messy they look just lying on my desk and it's too much of a pain to toss them in the closet or a drawer when I'm not using them. Same benefit as cable organization, I guess, it just creates a neater workspace.

They pretty much rest on the same spot as if i had them on a big hook. Except they might fall...

I think that's the concern. That they'll fall if the bass gets too loud or if Goofus runs into it while he's looking for some plastic wrap to use as a condom or any number of things that might cause your shelf to shake.

gently caress that the GTXP is still awesome. Even if I don't use it anymore I don't think I'll get rid of the card + breakout box because it was a really awesome soundcard. If only Creative hadn't bought Aureal, because then it would've been one of the best cards on the market.
