Heya people, I have weekly LAN's with my friends (4 of us, CSS and BF2) and it gets really painful playing for 8 hours on a dining table :p ... so we took a trip down to the local IKEA.. ended up gettin this:

http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stor...Id=10101&storeId=3&langId=-15&productId=14941

We bought 4 of them, plus 4 chair swivel chairs, and its the perfect small LAN setup. My buddy is heading over later tonight so we can set up the LAN room. What do ya'll think?

:D

PICS will come as soon as my sis gets back from vacation.
 
I dunno, my roommate got one of those and my impression of it is "why not make you own with some pvc and plywood?"

I prefer my desk from ikea much better because it has like a gajillion times more space. With that thing you hardly have any room for anything besides the computer keyboard and mouse.
 
a 6' or 8' folding table works great too, and is easy to get out of the way.

I run two six foot folding tables end-to-end. Works perfect.
 
nice and stylish...

nothing like a weekly lan with the gang i always say... brings everybody together, game and chat about the week...
 
Heh yeah.. I even got my GF in on it <---- How cool is that? :cool:

She brings her rig over (A64 3000+, 1 GIG ram, 6600GT) that I built and she plays CSS. We did that just this past saturday hehe.

'Cause you'll end up spending much more in time and money than the $39 bucks it cost and your PVC and plywood contraption will look like crap. Looks like a perfect lan setup just like the thread title says.

Exactly, a sheet of plywood itself will run you close to $39. Not to mention the pvc, fasteners, paint, tools, time and mess. That's a nice price for a no-frills workstation.

My preference is folding tables. But when you run a monthly lan with 30+ (50+ this month, w00t), that is really the only option.

 
Interesting, my laptop needs a home and that looks like the perfect thing at the perfect price. Guess I could use the CPU tower as a drink holder or something.

Vancouver Island here :p Good ol' west coast.

For the printer area, could you use it as a foot rest? And could you put a large amount of pressure on the main desk area? Thinking of getting one of these actually, look like a nice price.
