GreatGreen posted:That mat is really cool, actually. Does anybody else (still in business) make products like that? Ikea makes the KNÖS, and the PRÖJS, but they don't ship them. Caveat emptor: The KNÖS has metal in it which blocks wireless keyboards and mice, and the PRÖJS isn't all that slick unless you spray silicone on it.

I would definitely opt for a more robust desktop or butcher block if I was going to buy another Ikea desk. The vanilla particle board top has a huge dip in the middle of mine where my monitor sits and because of the weight of the Signum cable organizer underneath.

 His & Her Vika's both warping from monitor weight. Going to just get one long butcher-block top next time Ikea has them in stock.

It works out OK. Actually when we had them set up at a 90, I had a harder time concentrating because it was just too much going on in my periphery and every time we needed the other's attention with something we'd have to get up to view the other's screen. If they were any closer it would be a problem. On the plus side, cable management is a breeze.

Severed posted:I actually went out to a hardware store and took a look at doors that are manufactured the same way (hollow with a paper core) and they seemed sturdy enough, so I placed an order for the birch version of the desk. I hope it doesn't get mangled during shipment. I have a few of those Vika Amon desks - I posted them earlier in the thread. Caveat emptor, if you have a monitor stand or heavy monitors they sag in the middle. If your order hasn't gone through, seriously consider the Numerar or Lagan butcher block top. They aren't much more money, but are far better quality.

Severed posted:Speaking of which, when did you start to notice that your monitor had begun to take a toll on the desk? 3 or 4 months in. This is on two desks with monitor stands. An extra leg in the back would probably help. One plus with the hollow-core door desks is that wireless mouse & keyboards get a great signal!

slightpirate posted:I really like the look and feel of the metal plumbing pipe desks with a butcherblock top on them, but I'm poor. The pipes won't be hard or crazy expensive to get, but the top might be. Is there a good resource for finding something comparable? Ikea Numerar. Even if you have the tools and know-how, you couldn't make one in a cabinet shop for that cheap. If that's too much for your pocket-book look around for old doors.

donzwei posted:Has anyone tried to mount a triple monitor stand on a Ikea Vika table? I'm wondering if the honeycomb design inside the table is strong enough to hold the weight of three monitors in one spot. With a dual mount and two 24"s the Vika Amon sags from the weight. This can be offset by placing an extra leg in the back. I'd just spend the extra cash and get one of the solid Vika tops like the Furuskog or Byske - the quality difference is night & day.

Elderbean posted:Question about the GALANT. Is the optional computer holder large/strong enough to support a big tower like a 650D? Is there another one on the market that can. Bonus points if it's not hideous. No, if you are talking about the Summera, it's not burly enough to hold a 25lb+ tower unless they've reworked the design recently. I'd use one of these instead.

duomo posted:I've had an NZXT H2 on the Summera without any issues (no creaking or warping) for about a year now, but that case is 5 pounds lighter than the 650D. Yeah, but the 650D is like 25lb with no PSU or hardware inside. They used to have those Summera tower holders at a company I did some work for and almost everyone of them was mangled somehow. Like I said, maybe they've re-engineered the design?

durk onion posted:Does VPN qualify as not being on the same network? The work computer will still go through my router at home. I don't really see a software solution working though since I'd like to use both monitors for work and then both for my personal computer like the officer said. I've used Synergy before but each monitor was dedicated to a certain computer. My monitors only have one input so I can't have both machines plugged into the same monitor at once. In the past when I was remoting in to work and had to use their pre-configured Cisco ASA5505 to VPN into their domain I couldn't get a KVM to work correctly with my home pc which was on my home network. I tried several things and ended up routing two DVI cables from the work box and two HDMI cables from my home box to the same monitors. Supposedly there is a way to set up hotkeys to switch monitor input, but I never could get it to work.

The thing feels wobbly as hell now compared to before. Honestly because the bottom is metal construction short of welding the base together I can't think of how to sturdy it up. Try the little plastic wedges /shims they use to steady tables.

.random posted:No! Cool looking stuff, though. At first glance, it looks like it probably violates the "isolation" I need to preserve, but it's probably very useful for several other situations I've come across in the past, so thanks! What is the spec for isolation you need? I use it for my work machine through a VPN on a Cisco ASA5550 Security Appliance and a personal machine on the local network. All programmed functionality with a Logitech G500 mouse works just fine, but you have to have the drivers on both devices. Sometimes I need to use a wireless mouse & keyboard with a unified receiver and that works fine as well. Clipboard sharing doesn't have to be enabled. There is functionality to drag the mouse and keyboard focus to the other device's monitor, but I use a keyboard shortcut to switch focus, so the devices are wholly independent.

Found one on Craigslist that I'll probably pick up, but don't want to make sure I'm not paying more than I can get it on sale. $500+ depending on the surface and variant. Bamboo is more, but they go on sale erratically which knocks off 25% or so.
