Damn, where did you get that desk?

It looks like that desk is a series of four metal top shop tables...

Happy Hopping-

The arm has a bracket for two displays. They have one for three also. I love there stuff.

Sent-

All my office stuff is Ikea; I think they are still selling it. It just happened to fit the room perfectly, it like a half an inch to the wall on the left side, just enough to fit some cables.

AOM-
The remote was like $600 at the time. I upgraded from the last model and sold my old one on Ebay for like $350 so was worth it to me. The screen is much better and the extra hard buttons work great for the TiVos. This is a great site for all kinds of info on the prontos. http://www.remotecentral.com

Desk started out as Old Navy department shop signs. Covered on all sides by thick galvanized steel, and they are heavy as hell. Used these legs:

I wasn't planning on keyboard drawers at first, but the desk can get damn cold and I changed my mind fast. they are pine with silver contact paper on 150lb rails, sturdy enough for an X-Arcade with two kids beating on it.

there is also a game system area



Where you can see the bottom of my old ass window unit

This was made with said signs, black iron plumming pipes, and a crap load of bolts. And yeah, it's on wheels.

Some asked to see the arm, here it be. Dell 2405FPW and 2005FPW.

^^^^ Drool x10 ^^^^

that is an awesome setup you have there

Tanquen, did you build that desk and cabinet yourself? I like it the idea of a desk running almost all the way around the room - when and if I get myself into an apt. or house with an extra room.

oooh nice monitors.. who are the girls on the desktops?

Tanquen:

I have a few questions:

1) You have a concrete wall, for people who have dry wall, wouldn't that arm pull the dry wall off? I mean, the weight of that arm and 2 screens are quite heavy. How much weight does the arm say it can support?

2) How long is the screw that goes into the wall?

3) For those of us that have drywall, it is 2 x 4 behind it. So the "width" of that mount where the screws goes in can't be too wide, or else one part of those screws would screw into hollow space behind the dry wall.
How wide and how long is the mounting base? Can you take a picture directly facing that mount base (the part that screw to the wall)?

4) Did you buy some extra length DVi-DVI cable? The standard is only 6 ft.

5) At this picture:



Can you bend one of the screen 90 degree? i.e., can the 2 monitors form a "L" shape at the connection point?

So if your desk is small, you can see one screen in front of you, and another on your right hand side.

NICE tanquen

wall isnt unfinished, door wasnt put up yet, and its a jerker not some pos studio :P
and what rug.. lol the whole room is done in that color of carpet :\

Oops, the top is too thin and there's that rail under the front. Supports look the same, but no knobs for the adjustable height. So that's the infamous jerker, eh? Somehow I expected something more...well...I dunno, just something more. Is it like not completely assembled or is there some aspect the photo isn't showing well?

And I see exposed studs.

thats cuz thats not part of the room.. ill post different views :P

It's all the IKEA Effektiv-T line and I think they still make it. I'm working at a new water filtration plant in Novato and they got all this same stuff in the control room. The assembly guide even said Effektiv-T. It did have different hardware under the tables though. I like the older style that my tables have. It has one large square iron tube across the underside. Notice the picture of the two L shaped tables, there are no legs in the middle. I think it looks great.
