Anyone know, if I can get replacement screws for a galant at ikea? Or even a local hardware store. (I bought a galant off craigslist for $15, with no screws.)
I've tried that but I just can't stand my machines being on the floor if I can help it. They pull in far too much dust and I hate having to lift the heavy bastard up to work on it.
@Keep The Volume Up; Is that the Jerker or Frederik?
Nice set-up btw
Get a PC holder from Ikea.
Keep The Volume Up - Great wiring job on those Z5500's. Thats something I have wanted to do for a long time, but never had the patience to go through with it. But you prove it is worth the work.
(Plus I rent...so I am not about to go putting holes in my walls to fish wires around if I might be moving somewhere in the next couple years )
Do they make one big enough and large enough? My computers tend to weigh alot and I use E-ATX casings so they are deeper than usual.
You can fit a case up to 9" width and 20" height and the weight should not be a problem. I have it on my jerker and will post pics when my room is clean.
The main thing that concerns me is the depth. My rig is also fairly heavy.
Dimensions:
8.26 inches wide
20.66 inches tall
23.81 inches deep
Weight: 50lbs. (Approximate)
Hey everyone, I'm thinking about replacing my old desk with a Ikea Galant desk. I have two questions:
1. Any difference between the T vs A style legs (apart from looks.) From the show models at Ikea, the T-leg table seemed a little more wobbly than its A-style counterpart, but since there are alot of pics in this thread showing off the T-style legs, I wanted to get real use opinions.
2. How easy is it to deconstruct a Galant desk after initial construction and use for moving to another location?
Can someone help me out with what tool is needed to lower my Ikea Galant desk??
What kind of legs do you have? You'll need hex keys for T legs. For A legs, you will need to be very careful twist the legs otherwise you will break the internal thread and that's why I don't recommend A legs.
Use the little "screwdriver" which came with the table.
Actually i think you get several such "screwdrivers" in the little plastic bag which also all the screws came in.
It's really not a real screwdriver but i don't know it's real name, i'm from Sweden..

more real estate now that my box is on the floor
Could I get the name of the big mouse mat? Looks similar ot my "boogiebug XL" thing I've had for a while, but I had to trim it down as it was a shitty size and it's looked and felt terrible ever since.

hey guys, my room is 11' by 9'. I'm thinking of either getting a GALANT corner desk or a Fredrik. The Galant is nice cuz its spacious but it takes up a lot of room so I would need to get the 63 x 47.25''. However, the Fredrik saves room and the design is pretty cool. I want my desk to hold my 22 inch and 26 inch monitors. The biggest version of the Fredrik doesnt have the upright arms which I kinda disappointing. There is a medium Fredrik with the upright arms and shelf though. Do you think will be enough room for my monitors?
nah it will be in landscape, i'm gonna use the 22 for comp and 26 for PS3...think it will fit? What do u recommend?
I misread, thought you had TWO 22's and one 26. Then yes they would fit. But if you get the corner Galant, you have more room to grow if you ever need too.
Here's my right hang curve Galant. If I didn't have the side extension, it still holds alot. one 17", one 19", bookshelf speakers around my 28", and then a 22" in portrait on a desk clamp.
Are those two Vika's? I was planning on doing almost that same thing this week, do you have any other pics?Added a shelf... also new monitor.
