Yup. Only problem is that I can only use my computer at around 3pm on cloudy days, and I can't move my head from side to side.

My desk, yup, the legs were inspired by sawhorses. It's pretty clean right now, didn't have much "work in progress" or extra computers on/around it.

Re: Post your REAL desktop

Here's mine...



Yes, that is a wired router, it's sad, I know, but it works well.
And the giant printer/scanner/copier to the left of my desk is hooked up to the computer in the background.
My monitor is a 17" (hp vs17), LCD, with built in stereo speakers.
And when I got the desk, there was originally a shelf, but it was too low for the comp to fit under/above, so I custom built the drawer that's there now. [It basically just has all my junk in it - unread manuals, mousepads, a spindle of cd-r discs, new unused ethernet cable, camera, and whatever else I throw in there.]
There really isn't enough desk space to actually do school work, etc., so I tend to end up doing it on the couch in the background.

Printer and Computer. Yeah, the case came like that. (I'm software, not mechanical. )
The printer only prints in black and pink. If set in color mode, it will print grey in pink. Any help on this would be appreciated. (It's not the color cartrige)
The magazine in the 2nd pic I got for 5€. The DVD that came with it comes with 20 of "the best 30-day free trials" and a program that allows you to use 30-day free trials forever.

Part of my computer and my monitor, my mouse, and my keyboard. I got the mousepad at Battlecry 7.
The batteries are there because as some of you may know, cordless mice *always* run out of batteries while you're playing an FPS.
Part of my chair is in the 2nd pic.

It's raining men! Hallelujah, it's raining men! Amen!
The pic on the monitor is a clip from the "Mine" video. And yes, it's VLC media player.

An old computer I installed Ubuntu on, and my laptop.

Close-up of the laptop. The mouse is labeled "Mouse", the laptop is labeled "Eric's Laptop" The magazine I got for 5€ (approx. $6.50) in Germany. It came with a DVD that supposedly has the full versions of Söldner: Secret Wars and Gorky Zero.

Re: Post your REAL desktop

Sorry for the bit of a rez here, but I wanted to most my temporary summer setup. Since me and my brother are nose to the grindwheel on some exciting projects, we decided we need the ultimate development setup. After a few hours wrangling with BIOS settings so a PCI-e and PCI graphics card would get along:

Nothing fancy, just one monitor, no laptop, but I DO have a Pathfinder poster on the wall! (So there!) oh yeah, and:

One sexy case
Athlon 64 3800+
Abit AN8 SLI
1GB PC2700 RAM (so slow)
eVGA PCI-e graphics card w/ NVidia GeForce 7900 GT (KO)
Creative Soundblaster Live! sound card
5.1 surround

Of course the most valuable thing on the desk is that quadrille notebook next to the tower. It's full of MORT sketches...

New screensaver from an band called The Nice from their album Elegy. I never have heard or owned the album but I had seen the image before and I really love it. It's created by a studio called Hipgnosis who are mostly known for thier iconic album covers for Pink Floyd including the ledgendary Dark Side of the Moon.
