It's an ergotron, dual monitor from 2008 ish, their newer version have a wider desk base which makes them a lot more stable than mine.

The monitors are 24"; Dell U2410. :)

Awesome, thanks. I shall now proceed to completely copy your setup.

Yeah just wanted to know if it'd make the xbox overheat or something.

Don't block the vents and you're good. As long as the monitor stand's base is small enough to fit between the vents you should be safe on a "fat" 360, the "slim" units will be a lot harder.

39 perfect posts with each roll.

So I actually move my 360 today so that my main monitor wouldn't sit so high, and I tried to clean off the top of my desk while I was at it.

Please tell us what desk this is / where you got it.

I got it at a local computer store. The brand is Alera and I believe it's part of the Valencia series. You can mix and match all kinds of pieces. I was able to find the middle part on Amazon:

Getting the new desk space organized now that my TV stand (aka desk shelf) came in the mail. Initially I was searching for a "desk riser" on Amazon, just something I could put my laptop and monitor on top of so I'd have more desk space, but after much searching it seemed like a TV stand was what I really needed.



I've got my MIDI keyboard living under there that I can pull out when I record music. Maybe my next improvement will be adding a keyboard tray under the desktop so I can keep the MIDI keyboard out all the time. This desk originally had a keyboard drawer but I ended up removing it because it would squash my knees (I am tall).

My trusty no-idea-what-brand-it-is leather office chair I got about ten years ago is finally about to bite the dust, I think. The right-side armrest is about to take off and it's taking the back of the chair with it. This seems like the place to ask; I need a new chair, what should I get?

Sounds like some duct tape and metal rods are in order instead of a new chair...

Had it custom made. The idea was that a friend and I would each have one of those mousepads, except his was mirrored so they would high five when next to each other. When we received the pads we realized the idea wouldn't work because we're both right handed (durrr). So I just used it anyways.

Just moved my giant desk upstairs to my loft, and converted my old office into a play room for the kids. I'm still moving poo poo in, but this is where I'm at, living like total poo poo.

Sorry for the night time cellphone photo, I cannot find my Lumix!
