Post your Workstation 2012

BloodlessDog · Jan 27, 2012

That's something I learned in my anatomic dimensions class when studied Industrial Design, is called ergonomic percentiles and it is kind of a standard measure of peoples body parts that has always to be taken into consideration when designing and building something for human use... In this specific case chairs... And I use a $20 cheapo... But thinking about the "cost per hour" concept and thinking how much time I spend here, I will get a CEO type chair....

Also, as comfortable as I find the above chairs, I really wish that I could get an adjustable height desk to allow me to stand for periods during the day. Unfortunately, at work this would be hard to do, and at home it would be hard to justify getting yet another desk.

Ergotron, same people that make the HP monitor stands, have a line of sit-stand products from monitor/keyboard stands to complete desks

Dam, every time I see the 2007FP's in PLP with a 30" I search craigslist and then cry a little inside. Why can't I find some IPS 2007 FP's in Vancouver 8|.

Nice stuff man.

FinalAura · Jan 28, 2012

My setup. Pretty much unchanged from last year

Yeah I always shake my head when I see a guy with a computer worth over 3-4000k and still uses a cheap IKEA chair

Mine was $150 and it's extremely comfortable. More money doesn't make a chair better automatically. We should scale the cost of our chairs to the cost of our PC's?

I like your set up.

JacobC1983 · Jan 28, 2012

Thanks - the wife and I just decided that I get to buy a new 55 inch 3D TV for the office so she can have the 46 inch for her workout room. I knew I married her for a reason.

You mean the percentage of people who work?

You are such a [insert hyperbolic insult]!
It's the percentage of people who are fiscally responsible. DUH!

JacobC1983 · Jan 28, 2012

My mistake, I didn't realize how I spent my tax return made me a 1%er. But if I paid my fair share of taxes, maybe I am! Bazinga!

Modred189 · Jan 28, 2012

Well played sir.

Mr. Wolf · Jan 28, 2012

You know this country is doomed when the [H] workstation thread becomes a battleground for class warfare.

At least the 1% take showers when they're not enjoying the fruits of their labor.

CMadki4 · Jan 28, 2012

Here's my humble attempt to bring this derailed thread back around, haha:
This is almost an entirely different system than a month ago. All water cooling is gone, downgraded my 6970 to a 6870, moved from my custom fab'd case to a Lian Li, put in an H60 and got out my old JBL studio speakers. I love it!

The most ergonomically incorrect setup I've ever seen. LOOKS good though.

Wow...

The guy was saying that your wife is the one percent of women that is actually worth dealing with...

Can't take a compliment?

JacobC1983 · Jan 29, 2012

If that's the case, I will apologize... but a 1% comment? Really?

Nice setup. I agree that TimG's comment was in very poor taste.

AMD_RULES · Jan 29, 2012

I like the fly rods on display

JacobC1983 · Jan 29, 2012

Thank you! Are you a fly fisherman?

CallMeCooper · Jan 29, 2012

I don't own any, but I do love fly fishing. There is just something more appealing about wearing waiters in the middle of a river throwing the line back an forth. *commence day-dreaming*

That desk is gorgeous.

this is a great setup. how do you like the drapes?

my personal opinion is that a burgundy or brown/gold would look better.

I agree, and they are in fact a brownish, gold color. For some reason the picture with the sun coming through make them look blue.

That's pretty nice for the layout of that room.

actually it probably wont, he's probably not pushing those speakers enough to need the cooling

BrinNutz · Jan 30, 2012

Updated for 2012 finally. I don't think I posted last year...Moved three states over and up, never fully setup the office until a year later.

Over 18TB worth of drives on that shelf (the Qnap has 4x3tb Hitachi's I picked up for $95)

If you can't tell, currently attempting to fix the T61P. It's got some weird issues I've never seen before...

ranviper · Jan 30, 2012

Small little update:

New arrangement and posters.

Didn't notice the fly rods the first time around, nice! Definitely jealous.

Nice setup! What ThinkPad convertible tablet PC is that?

It's an X41T with a 1.8" SSD installed and a 2gb stick of RAM. Windows 7 install as well. It's pretty quick for how old she is, worked well for school, hardly ever use it anymore though.

Love me some Lenovo's, I have 3. T61P 15.4", T61P 14.1", X41T....But I must say I use the Acer Travelmate the most (nearest the Westy).

There sure are a lot of workstations here with the Logitech Z-5500s...

Please tell me you mean $95 each and the Qnap was extra. That in and of itself is a steal. If it was $95 for everything.......wow.
