My desk is by the window. Well, my old desk, that's our old office. 4 developers stuffed into that picture (other two are behind that partition wall) and 3 more in the room to the left. gently caress my old chair, too.

krnhotwings posted:Do your arms ever cramp up 'cause of that keyboard (especially in a work environment)? As much as I love Apple products, their input device designs have always been very unergonomic-looking, so I stray away from them. That keyboard is drat fine. I wish I had the numpad-less one so it would be exactly like my laptops.

Pweller posted:My biggest gripe with the apple keyboards is that the edges can be razor sharp, which can gash into your wrists really good when reaching down to the Ctrl keys. Mine is that the texture on the aluminum 'scrapes' the tips of my fingernails. It's fine unless I get goony and don't cut my nails for over a week.

HalloKitty posted:You must be kidding. You'd lose space to work on, and it would be less useful. Actually... 1 30" is 4,096,000 pixels, and 1 24" is 2,304,000 pixels, 1 newer monitor is 2,073,600 That's 256x1600, 1920x1200, and 1920x1080 resolutions. So a 30" basically has the same number of pixels as 2 'current' big monitors, and 88% of the space of 2 of the old-style 24" monitors. When your desktop is split up you 'lose' space at the edges so it usually ends up about the same. Dual monitors can be a little easier to divide your apps ups (mail/chat on one, something else on the other...) but with one big monitor you don't have the annoying bezels to deal with and you have a potentially bigger space - You'd have to stack smaller monitors to get 1600 pixels of height that you'd get with a 30". Depending on what you're working with you might be better off with the 30". Then again, you can get two 1080 wide screens for $100 each, and that's hard to beat.

Misogynist posted:I ran 1680x1050 on 20" widescreens pretty comfortably for a number of years. That's 'grandma big'.  For a desktop, I find 100-110 ppi pretty comfortable, since they are usually farther away. On a laptop I can tolerate 125-140 ppi. So 1080p on a 21-22" screen is pretty ideal.

We had this giant cutting/stamping machine that ran a DOS app under Window 95 or 98, and they wanted something big enough so you could see it across the plant floor. So we bought the cheapest 46" LCD TV with VGA input we could find and hooked it up. 640x480 with bonus loving 80x25 character mode for the setup screens.

I remember some dude posted his $200 lamp in this thread before. Pff if you use it every day for 3 years that's like 20 cents a day.

coffeetable posted:...no, it won't. When you dust something, the dust doesn't float around in the immediate vicinity indefinitely. It diffuses away and settles on other things. It gets sucked back in. I've air-canned computers out in my ofice before and by the end of the day all the dust gets sucked in the vents in the servers/switches in the next room over. Oops. Do it outside or use a vac to suck it all up.

iceslice posted:I don't know where you can buy them but they make baskets that are like 2" deep, 2" wide and run at different lengths. You could relocate your gaggle of wires up to that, mounted at the back of your desk, running the length of the desk. Having them up just below the surface of the desk hides them pretty well, makes them easily accessible (after you untangle them), and you don't really have to do any work to set it up besides laying them back and forth to extend them out across the basket. I'll see if I can find an example, but it really is the lazy man's cable management. Please don't use plastic zip ties. Get some velcro cable ties. I'm all for cable management but you have to have the self-discipline to not rip all that poo poo apart when you're replacing one cable or something out of the bundle. When you get lazy with it, it goes downhill quick.
