  • OT: Your desk type

    Posted by Grand Admiral on April 27, 2005 at 5:05 pm

    Ok I am getting really tired of my small, cluttered computer desk and am about to buy a 20 inch tv with component/s-video so I can preview my work without having to use my LCD monitor. I plan on having one of those shuttle control mouse types for editing and in the near future a large wacom tablet. In the current desk I am at, I have like very little room to move my mouse. I am looking for a desk that gives me some sort of compartment where I can place my tower in, and have relatively easy access to so that I can turn it on or open the dvd. So basically a big desk. Everything I have seen at Office Depot and Best buy doesn’t seem big enough. I also want to put my VCR, DVD Player (for dvd testings).

    What do you guys use? (I have seen topics about what people for chairs)
    and what do you recommend.

    I just set up an 8 foot long folding table and that was enough room for the tower, two monitors, a printer and a scanner. No drawers so I bought a couple of 3 drawer cabinets for under the table. Works for me. And no hassle getting to the cords. Looks a bit sloppy I suppose, but works great.

    I went to Home Depot and bought a 6 foot long kitchen counter top…They come in different lenghts and already have the lamination applied…They have different styles and colors…Then I got 2 2-drawer filing cabinets and then spanned them with the counter top…So, I have six feet of desk space and 4 filing cabinet drawers…Work great…
