I liked the aluminum too, though I didn't get the plated finish. I changed my "zinc wave" mesh to black over time but kept the gray framing

Wow, I never realized how expensive those chairs are... we literally kick them across our tool room.
 
Those chairs are honestly one of the finest things my posterior has ever sat in :D

Too bad they were at a old job that I don't work at anymore and my new job has somewhat crappy chairs in comparison :(
 
thanks to you guys, I've decided no more office depot chairs for my butt.. I'm saving and looking for a aeron. the C size is a bit less plentiful then the B.

how can you tell which it is? Is it even possible to do so without measuring?

If you go to their site, they have a sizing chart.
look for your height and weight and they will point you to the correct size in their chart,

how did you change it? I was thinking if I could change my mesh to the wavy mesh.

The bunch of screws that go all the way around the perimeter of a piece are what hold it in. Once you take them out (the back has about 8 or 10 I think?) you can just "pop" the mesh out of the frame...the new one presses into the little slit and then you just screw it all back together. It's taught, so the pressing in can take some time to get perfect.

I found that the fancier weaves (like my original Zinc Pellicle Wave) seem to be a little less "durable" because they were "softer". (it ended up getting a hole, hence my switch back to the "pellicle classic")

The complete list of choices is here: https://www.hermanmiller.com/CMF/CDA/index.html#pid=8

I forget now, but I think I paid $125 for the new pellicle back...got the seat off of ebay for $25. (like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Herman-Miller-A...244QQcmdZViewItem?rvr_id=&itemid=150383964244 )

About as clean as it'll get anytime soon... and the stand I made for the Tv... they were out of the matching wood at Ikea and needed to make a stand so I just took a white piece... it was only $5-7 if I remember so I'll get it replaced... I actually got the desk for free so I paid more for those little stands haha...

What kind of mousepad/placemat is that under your keyboard?

Xtrac XXL ... it's like 36" by 18" :) ... fairly cheap too, and I just cleaned it in the washer (on cold) and let it air-dry. Over time it gets dust and food stuck in there, it's just fabric.

How do you like your Embody chair? I've been looking at possibly trading up from my Aeron for it.
Click to expand...

Like it quite a bit.. I'd say try it out in person though... it was $1400, but I plan on keeping it for a long-ass time... I figure instead of buying a shitty $100 chair every year, I'll just buy the best and keep it until something better comes around or it breaks down. (My dad has an Aeron from when they first came out and it's still fine..) HM are well built :)
 
Thanks man. The speakers are Polk Audio R150s. Got them on sale last year sometime I think, for like $50. Great speakers, especially at that price. Also, yeah, they're hooked up to a receiver. It's sitting on the metal stand to the right of the desk, you just can't see it in any of the pics. It's an old Technics SA-GX170.

Yea it's called Media Browser.. and that's Windows 7 MC ... :D

It's all automatic, I just point it to a shared folder on my Server and it does the rest.
 
Here's my setup. Being in college, I can't afford the massive setups you guys have :p...but I love all my stuff and this corner in my room is just the right size to fit all of it. (please excuse the pile of junk in the cubby hole)
