Tab8715 posted:The gently caress? Eight Grand? Is this thing made out of gold? Yea I agree, there are some pieces of design that are good and worth the money. THAT on the other hand is a piece of poo poo. For $8000 you could pay a master woodworker (or for industrial design a metal worker) to make a beautiful piece of art that would be more functional and eye catching than that piece of 1950s-style-legs and 80/20 inspired poo poo station. ptier fucked around with this message at 16:23 on Dec 18, 2009 |

I'm sure it's some sort of feat of engineering, but for that price it should also be beautiful

Siroc posted:Is that the T240HD? Are you liking it so far? Is it good for gaming? I love it so far. For gaming, it's a step down from that 20" Apple IPS panel, but as far as other TN monitors I've used, the viewing angles are great and the color reproduction is pretty good after a little tweaking. As for television, it's fantastic, and the absolute perfect size for a bedroom. I have it using dual monitors on the desktop via DVI, VGA into the laptop, and when I get my netbook (I've spent a lot of loving money lately) that will connect via HDMI. The speakers are certainly a weak point, but I hardly expected anything from them anyway. For 260 bucks, you get a stellar monitor with a great TV tuner in it. I'm already starting to think about what a second one would be like....

Here's a few pictures of my desk (dining room table) this winter break. Somehow I don't think I'll be doing much more than computer stuff on this desk...   Sorry about the blurry iPhone photos, but that's the best I can do. Monitor is an LG L246W, the speakers are some Energy's from the mid 80s, and the sticks are a Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 and a Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 Special Addition [sic].

I do like the design. But I think it's hilarious they're charging that much, and selling it with broken glass.

todieat20 posted:How are those sticks working out for you? I've been thinking about getting one. Are they compatible with PS2 games from a PS3? I don't think they're compatible with a PS2 directly, but I'm pretty sure I've heard that they work on a backwards compatible PS3 with both PS2 and PS1 games. Also, they work flawlessly on a PC in both Windows and Linux, so that's something. I'd recommend the "Special Addition" as I like the buttons a lot more (easier to push) though that might just be a personal thing. Both are more suited for fighting games though, as it takes a bit of stick motion to register, so they don't work as well with bullet hell shooters or things of the sort, but they aren't unusable.

And my aesthetics go toward minimalism , very simple shapes and as little cabling as possible.

For a desktop, I can't see the benefit at that price. For a laptop though... IBM thought it was a good idea to do this:   Not sure what kind of person would use that, but lets say they do exist. Now, you can do that with any of your laptops. I can see that mimo usb monitor being a slick addition to a netbook. Instant Stalker fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Dec 20, 2009 |

Instant Stalker posted:Is that a Samsonite table? Those are awesome and durable... and cheap. I just purchase two 4' versions of that to join my existing 6' table for a dual desk setup. I got it at wal-mart a few years ago for like $30. The folding action is awesome, I can hold it under one arm. Centipeed posted:Do all of those wires need to be on the desk? I mean, are they too short to fall behind it or something? There's so much space it just doesn't matter. I swap computers out all the time, it takes like 30 seconds. Screw climbing up all underneath the thing to swap some poo poo out. I feel like I pretty much outdid everyone in the thread with my awesome setup.

Cat bed. Before I put it there, they would sleep in front of my monitors and randomly knock poo poo over all the time. That's the server monitor, so I rarely need to do much with it and don't care that the cats are in front of it.

My desk is one of the ones listed in that Lifehacker round up but I doubt it's going to win given that my desk does not reside in the middle of the forest. If you wanted to vote for it, though, it's the 8th option in the ballot.
