Apallohadas, you need to clean that cpu cooler, jesh! 
Hi guys,
This is my recently finished custom modified workstation I have done myself at my home. This is my own vision of a modern/ futuristic PC workstation environment.
The steel/ glass desk had been custom modified to support the weight of my new large LCD display along with other structures. Surrounding furnitures had also been custom modified according to my own specs for aesthetics, ergonomics, comfort, enjoyment, and relaxation. The entire custom installed lighting system is 100% LED technology that can stay on 24/7, including PC case (no cold cathode CCFL due to unsafe reported fire hazards). I also custom built a vibrating floor to go with my audio system for ultimate personal interactive entertainment experience. I really enjoyed working on this project and it turned out phenomenal to my satisfaction.
In the meantime, I am looking forward to replacing my good old ergo keyboard for either a new laser projector keyboard, or a wireless rechargeable backlit keyboard soon (those darn white PS/2 cables annoys me).
Hope you all enjoy some of my pics of my workstation.

Glad you guys like my workstation and thanks for your compliments.
>>That's alot of blue. I dig the theme. Your chair looks insanely comfy.>>
The reason why I picked a blue theme is bacause it is very soothing to the eyes and it gives a pleasant icy cool feel and high tech look. I want to avoid white lights (sore on the eye) and multi-colors (Don't want my place to look like Christmas tree lights). Yes the chair is very comfortable to sit on it for hours. I like to sit back and relax in a reclining position while I am working or surfing online.
>>WOW. You sir are a true master of your craft. Awesome, pleasure to look at it , thanks for posting cybortek!>>
Always a pleasure to share my ideas, so you guys can do the same as me. Thanks for your compliments.

I agree, where did you get that chair? i am in the market for a new chair to go along with the re-design and layout of my office the next few months.
until then i will be sitting on the floor in the middle of the room with no desk or chair!

Thanks all again for the WOW compliments!
>>Welcome to [H] cybortek, although your already pretty 1337 in my books i must say
Why thank you! I feel honored. LOL
>>Also like how you can just turn around and stare at the beach picture to relax and get some down time. BTW where did you get the chair and foot rest from?

That's the main idea about relaxation with the beach behind me. LOL I painted that big picture but still not yet finished. That chair I got it from my local Staples store. It is extremely hard to find it nowadays, since they are all already sold out. I noticed t is not listed on Staples web site anymore, but there are some other nice chairs you can purchase though. My ottoman (feet rest) was custom built. I was looking to purchase an ottoman, but is is way too pricy at stores ($150-$250!!!), so I disassembled my old chair by removing the back rest and rebulit it. I redesigned the seat padding, recovered and stitched it in a newer black leather material, so it looks new now to match with my chair. Saves me money than buying a new expensive ottoman
>>i think i just had an orgasm from you set up <3
I hope you used your condom wisely. LOL
>>'on floor, gasping for air'
Full on just loving it, out of interest how much was the entire mod?
Take it easy dude! I hope you don't get a heart attack! hehe.. It is of course not cheap in the thousands range, but I won't go any further into details. If it was custom built by someone else, yes it would be extremely expensive. I once got a quote from a guy to do custom LED lighting alone asking for $500!! I was shocked and thought he is F NUTS!!! So I did the lighting mod myself to save money. Since I modded the entire workstation myself, it is a lot cheaper for me than to get someone else do it for me.
Here is the close up of the chair and detailed picture of the desk.

This is the glass table. I bought it half a week ago. Its very sturdy even if it doesn't seem like it. It comes in black and tan/gray (the one I have). The keyboard tray is removeable so you can choose to put the keyboard on top or leave it on the tray.
Overall, I'm satisfied with the table. It has alot of potention for clean wire management also.

RE: BestBuy desk
notice the windex by the desk. You can bet, it probably there more often than not. I like the desk too. I'd buy some black matted surface sheets so that I don't have to look underneathe the table which can be distracting. In all, mucho potential for a 150 dollar desk.
OfficeMax and Depot sell the desk too btw.

lol @ Barrel man
!!!I'm thinking of picking up a set of the X-530's, I currently have the X-230's and was wondering if it would be noticeable?
>>Cybortec Your Workstation Rox
Hey really like the led illuminations around your workstation. Most unique i have seen up to this day.
Thanks! You rock too.
>>Cybortec, can you show me where you got that desk?
I bought my desk at my local office furniture dealer in Canada. It is very strong, sturdy, solid, and of high quality construction. It does not shake and squeak compared to other glass desks I've encountered. It is Leda GPC-77 black usually sell for $300-$350. You can go to www.ledadesk.com for info. You can try searching through Google for this desk cheaper. If you live in US, you can check out local Target store. They are having it on sale now. If you want blue desk for $179.99 (best price) and black for $254.99, go here;

If you want black cheaper for $190.99+ shipping, go here;

***Note: If you plan to put a big heavy LCD on top of this glass desk like mine, beware that this desk is not designed for heavy weight LCD on top of the tempered glass. The mid section has weak support, which may bend or break tempered glass. I had to custom modify the desk to strengthen the mid section frame to support the weight of my big heavy LCD on top of the glass. If you have a smaller than 25" LCD, then you are safe and okay.
