Beautiful! We have nearly identical parts =D

I called NZXT today and they are sending me over some free fans so I will have LED fans on the side and on top.
 
Posted these in the "Ikea Desk" thread, but I guess they should be in here as well!

[EDIT] Any suggestions on hiding the monitor and speaker wires, by the way? I was thinking of punching a hole through the desk, but that thought makes me squirm.

Also, in regards to your question on hiding the wires - you could drill (or "punch" as you state) a hole in the desk using a specialized, circular drill bit (I tried to find a link to one that I am referring to, however was unable.) Then you can purchase a cap where you can run the wires through the hole. Additionally, you could purchase one of these to get the wires out of the way; but it just looks cumbersome and somewhat ugly.

What I do with my desk is I use zip ties and wire-hiding tubes.

Wow I agree that is a really nice desk, makes me almost forget to look at the equipment on it!
 
Well here is my work in progress man cave / workstation / get away from the woman place:)

Just moved everything last week, consolidated 2 rooms, and moved into a bigger room. But you can see the modding station :D and the desktop area and then some of the other goodies if you can spot them :eek:

Please do tell, what kind of flooring is that? I'm about to put down hardwoods/laminate in my new condo and I really really like that grain. The desk as well. Why the oil, and what kind?

how good is the surround sound with wow steelfrog
Click to expand...

Pretty good, actually. I was surprised at how much it was used but it tends to be very "hard" for lack of better words. In a game where you're constantly moving around, turning, etc, the sound clips rapidly between your front, center, rear in little time and it tends to be a little annoying.

Other than that, it really fills out the space quite nicely.
 
might just set mine up again.

Thank you

Errr, why yes, I do. ;)

It's an Anthro adjustable console desk, all in black with a set of extension tubes and an extra top shelf added on. I bought it from Anthro.com a few years back. I don't think they make the exact same model anymore, but have lots of other similar stuff to choose from.

Here's a pic of their current console unit (don't like the 2-tone color scheme though - would go all black again):

All of their stuff rocks! Extremely well made, but... doesn't come cheap. On the bright side, it would be the last PC desk you would ever need to buy. My printer cart (also from them) serves as an excellent 800D case holder-upper. :D I just wish it were about 4" deeper.

I LOVE my Anthro Elevate. Yes it cost a small fortune, but as the corvette said, you'll never need another desk again. There may be a nuclear holocaust, but roaches and Anthro desks will remain. The Elevate has motorized telescoping legs. So I can go from sitting to standing in a couple seconds. I do a lot of work at home and may eventually work entirely from home, so I deemed it a reasonable expense. I need to update my pic, but the original pic from when I first got it is here:

That's one of the fugliest desks I've ever seen! I'd much rather spend a couple hundred bucks at IKEA and pocket the rest of the cash.

Here are some photos of my room from way back. More like about a year ago, a lot of things have changed since then like hardwood flooring and the PC. Will update with new ones when I have time

The two tone does look rather hideous - but all in black, without some of the attachment doodads like that PC bracket, they actually don't look all that bad. (Go back and look at my setup) The ergonomics/function these desks offer are stellar. The materials used to construct them are all of very high quality. All the tubing is very solid (not cheap thin-walled crap) and is powder coat painted.

An IKEA desk will save you lots of cash - but then quality/sturdiness/ergonomics aren't what you are after. You'll also need to replace it a few times most likely due to wear and tear over the course of several years. Anthro makes some very solid stuff that you'll only have to ever buy once.
