[Scott MacVicar]

My new desk is up and running, picture is a bit big so I'll just link to it.

1m 60 long so thats enough space to get 2 computers on. But i decided to just put one computer, tv and left space for studying.

what do you all think?

[John Round]

If that montor was any bigger it wouldn't fit :p

[MUG]

Nice toothbrush :D

[Chen]

Not bad... not bad at all. I'm looking for a new desk myself, but I have a load of stuff on the current one so I'll have to get rid of some of them. :o

And yes, nice toothbrush. I have the same one LOL. Don't leave it on the stand for too long, the battery will dry. I only recharge it when it's empty, my previous one died because I kept it recharging.

[Scott MacVicar]

got the toothbrush yesterday, my last one was dissapeared last week o_O i was stuck with a regular one for a couple of days.

I had lots of stuff on my old desk its still sitting about the room waiting to be "sorted" into the appropriate categories. Keeping and binning ;)

[John Round]

Is your room the attic? ;)

[Scott MacVicar]

what gave that away :P

I had a webcam up for a bit which showed my entire room but its a bit of a mess now so I wont bother turning it back on until during the week when its tidier.

Nice desk. :) What's the book under the "Mastering...MySQL 4" book? :)

[John Round]

Probably A PHP Book (By Wrox maybe)

:)

[Chen]

Wrox... ugh.

[Scott MacVicar]

Red Hat 7.2 book :P

I got the mysql 4 book a couple weeks back, just been reading up on the new functions and features.

I dont have my PHP book any more lent it to someone and it never returned. It was Core PHP by Leon Atkison discussed PHP 4.0.1 :D

[Chen]

I'd get it back, might be worth a lot in the museum. ;)

[CeleronXT]

Very nice desk, where's your comp?

[Scott MacVicar]

[John Round]

Where's the CD Drive? :eek:

[eva2000]

ah i see an xbox :D

is that a hitachi LCD mon ? which model ?

nice Lian Li PC60 USB case, i have one too older model though hehe

[CeleronXT]

That's actually pretty clean compared to mine. :o

Nice case. ;)

Odd camera angle. :)

EDIT: Whoa, yeah, where is the CD drive? :-/

[Scott MacVicar]

there stealthed.

I have a DVD drive on the top and a 52x CDRW under it.

Took two bezels, a pair of tin snips, some wet and dry, an eraser, craft knife, super glue and some sticky foam pads to do it :D

You cut off the bezel legs and use the wet and dry to smooth the edges.
You cut out a small block of the eraser, just larger than the depth of the bezel and super glue it to where the button is.
Use the foam pads to stick the bezel to the drive, use enough foam pads so their bigger than the bit of rubber.

Result: You can push the front of the drive, the foam pads will compress and the rubber will hit the button :D

[Scott MacVicar]

Its a Philips 17" LCD :P

[CeleronXT]

Oh, very cool, very cool indeed...

[mheinemann]

I need a new desk, I've got superglue holding mine together right now. My chairmat has holes in it :(

[nuno]

Hey Scott, what is that wire sticking out of your mouse? :confused:

[Scott MacVicar]

ah its not into my mouse, its the one for my digital camera, it just so happens thats where it ended up.

Its a cordless mouse :P

[MarkB]

I like your taste in orange juice :) And I have the same toothbrush too! LOL

[CeleronXT]

Ahh, looks like Logitech.... 10 respect points loss. ;)

[Kier]

I designed my new desk myself, and it's currently being built for me... you can take a look at the design here:

[DWZ]

Yeah, I want an Xbox and a TV on my desk :(

Not that I ever use my desk, I always have my laptop on my lap with my wireless network :D

[John Round]

Nice technical drawing Kier. I think John hired the right vB Dev and style maker :p

[mdx381]

You know you're hardcore when you have blueprints for your desk. :D

Nice desk there, everything you need to live on the computer.

[eva2000]

oooooooh i like..... i still haven't found a desk i like i'm using an two old 1.2ms steel framed restaurant tables - very sturdy but i need something which has closed compartments... too much dust gathering on open desks hehe

[Unred]

Oh yeah. 4.0.1 is pretty old ;) I personally like 4.3.0. Cant say the same for others..

Now as for 4.0.1 bing wanted in a museum, want my 3.0 book? it's around here somewhere. LOL

http://www.twoleetguys.com/comp.jpg Wow, nice case! Are you going to cut it a little? Btw, I like the setup of your office, Scott. :)

[Chen]

Office? ;)

[XiXora]

kier, how much would that cost to build?

[Kier]

Buying the steel (thin wall steel box section) costs about £30-50 depending on who you talk to, then there is the desktop material, which is heavy-gauge laminated chipboard, and then there's the accessories like the sliders for the keyboard shelf, feet etc...

All in it's still less than £100, but then you gotta find someone to actually build it for ya ;)

[eva2000]

you should go into computer desktop design and get those designs out to some Australian manfucturers/distributors... not much of range of desks to choose from here :rolleyes: :D
