What in the hell are you doing with those 3 Power Macs and the Dells? I am very curious.

I'm a sysadmin. They're all doing something! Two of the boxes (the extreme left and right computers) are test machines. The get formated, resintalled and subsequently hosed up on a regular basis. The Quicksilver PowerMac just recently became my new Quark license manager server. It'll be shipped off to the server room and stuck in a rack pretty soon. (Of course I'll get one to replace it.) The MDD PowerMac is my general-use desktop Mac. The black Dell is my general-use desktop PC.

Of course the PB is my portable. It's gooood to be a sysadmin.

Where did you guys get this desk from? Been looking for a desk and this might fit the ticket.

Thanks... I love this thread!

It's called the Z-Line Modina Corner Desk. You can get it at Staples for $99.94. I've been thinking about getting it myself.

Sorry for the crappy cellphone picture.

It is a laptop isn't it?

Tantrum · Jan 8, 2004 , 10:22 PM

Not the best set up, but here's mine.

btw: i haven't cleaned my room in ages...that's why it's kinda cluttered.

By far the best setup.

dabigdawg · Jan 14, 2004 , 12:52 PM

Do you find it wasy switching from a natural keyboard to a straight keyboard? I could not do it tried fro many months and was quickly frustrated so went and got a KVM and just hooked up the apple KB since I used the powerbook everyday and it has the straight KB.

Nice setup btw.

Okay...thought I'd finally post pics of my desk setup! Here ya go!

During the day...

And at night...

Lateralus · Jan 14, 2004 , 05:57 PM

Ha... If my room looked like that when the lights were off, I doubt I'd ever turn the lights on.

No problem for me, but I switch from work to home all the time, so I'm used to non-natural keyboards.

HAHA Yeah...sometimes I can't wait for it to get dark outside (cuz of the light shining through all the windows), so I can turn all the lights off...and turn all the blue stuff on!

mrgaskell · Jan 14, 2004 , 06:21 PM

Now that was pretty cool looking. May I ask where all the blue light was coming from? Not just the PC, I assume. Looks cool all the same, though!

The light from inside the PC is just 4 LED fans. Nothing too bright. Although I'm thinking of adding a cathode light...to make it a little brighter.

Now...the ligts under the LCD panel, and the Powerbook are from these.

You can see the long light under the LCD panel, just attacthed it down there. Now the ones under the Power book are the Mini ones, attached to the underside of the iCurve (one each side...I can take pics if you liked to see how I attached them, and ran the wires). They hook up to just a USB port (I have them both hooked up to a USB Hub hanging on backside of the desk), and they come with a module, that you can set it to flash the lights to the beat of music (from vibration). It's pretty cool!

Thanks for the comments!
