My room is a bit cramped, as I've been a pack rat for years, but I keep it fairly organized despite the stupid amount of junk I own.  Also, can someone post a link to the cum-vase thread? The masochist in me must know more about this.

I can't write with anything after these. They are aboslutely amazing. Too bad they are about £15, and I have to replace them every few months because the nibs rub down.  mcyahwe posted:Move the TV down so it's closer to the desk. The wires will be hidden in the shadow of the screen and you don't have to lift your head into an unnatural positions just to watch tv. I think taking all the bolts off my wall, redrilling and rebolting the stand for just hiding the wire is quite a bit of effort. I often watch TV from the other side of the room anyway, and if I want to watch from my computer I just turn around. The bottom of the TV is about head height, I dunno if the picture's perspective is weird or something.

It sounds like your best bet is to find out what color your walls and just get the lowest-profile cable conduit you can find and just paint over it. It will look infinitely better than hanging wires, and doesn't require any drilling.

EnergizerFellow posted:Quatropi looks to be a reseller. Any manufacturer's name or part numbers/names anywhere on the chair itself? I've just had it upside down and has a look, and nope absolutely nothing. As I recall, there were no obvious names on the box or anything either.  Edit: If you've not found it already: The chair on the Quatropi website. It's in GBP and UK-based though, if you're across the pond. Not even the website lists a manufacturer.

Since it's drywall over studs, mark your 2 holes you want to bring the cables in/out of (make sure they're close to being on a vertical line, ideally you'd use a plumb bob to get them perfect, but if you don't have one an eyeball works fine too), then you can use a length of ball chain (purchase from your local hardware store) and a magnet to get an easy pull string in the wall (make sure you tie the ball chain to something that won't fit in the top hole though before you drop it in). Simply tape the wires to the ball chain after you've fished it out of the wall with the magnet, then pull them up through the wall.

Make sure there isn't a horizontal fire-break before you cut into the drywall. I learned this the hard way.

And tall people are usually large for their dwellings. Everything looks small by comparison. At least that's the gist of what he's saying, I believe.

I need some help here. I'm trying to find a writing/flat style desk with a hutch that I can store books on. I don't want anything with a keyboard tray. I don't want anything with a CPU storage area or anything. Why is this hard to find?

DeepThought posted:Ikea Galant, LG 20" and 30" + Macbook pro 17". What is the actual width of that desk? The Ikea site says its 63" but does that mean if you straightened the desk it's 63" or is it actually 63" when rested against a wall? Could you link the one you specifically have? Thanks!

Dominoes posted:If you don't mind me asking, why do you have the monitor right over a drawer? It looks uncomfortable. I'm still getting it set up. The computer is in a closet behind the wall and one of the cables is too short. It cost around $2k which probably could have bought a pretty nice standalone desk, but the wife wanted something that looked built-in.

 I should probably explain everything. The monitor is an HP w2207, which gets the job done. Nothing special. Mouse is a Logitech MX518, keyboard is a generic Logitech keyboard. Headset is a Plantronics headset that I can't remember what it's called. The whisky is Jack Daniel's Single Barrel. Everything else is self-explanatory.

I did this in a previous room years ago, and it can be done cheaper for certain. Home depot sells huge (18' x 30") counter-top planks of MDF in various laminate colors as low-end kitchen surfaces, and they make terrific desktops. The counter was $110 + $5 to cut it down to 14 feet. Add to the mix two IKEA cabinets (the exact models are out of production, but were $70 each). I absolutely loved the desk. Although not exactly like what was pictured, the heavy lifting for a giganto-huge desk can be done for ~$300. punkrawk fucked around with this message at 04:43 on Jan 18, 2010 |

There have been a ton of awesome setups in this thread. It's been awhile since my last post. Moved into a new place 2 weeks ago. Made an Ikea run and picked up a Vika Glasholm table top with Vika Artur legs. Also snagged a Markus chair. Started getting the contents of the desk setup. What is the banana hanger I see everyone using for a headphone rack? I haven't pulled the headphones out yet, but I'll need a place for them shortly.

Frosted glass desks are alright, but after my experience with a non-frosted glass desk - I'll never, ever go the glass desk route again. What a pain to keep clean.

A glass desk would allow me to see all of the cables underneath my desk while I'm sitting at it which would bug the hell out of me.

It's just there temporarily. I'm setting up a PowerMac G3 to be my new web/mysql dev server that will be transported to a closet when it's completed. I love my graphite Pro Keyboard, but it just wasn't meant to be with this desk. Sir Nigel posted:Its literally a banana hanger.
