[farlo]

that's the office chair i use at work.

[slaveofconvention]

Heh - I'll do mine when I get home and you'll all wonder how the hell I ever get anything done :P

[farlo]

im just a huge procrastinator, ive got the supplies for a few projects at my house, but i cant seem to get motivated enough to get them started.

[diluzio91]

that's the office chair i use at work.

i pulled mine out of a dumpster. lol

[slaveofconvention]

Ok here we go with ZERO tidying up (which should be obvious)

My desk

And the rest of my office/workspace
http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/slaveofconvention/imagestore/workspace.jpg

Actually in my EXTREMELY limited defence - this is partially a result of me starting to tidy and reorganise last night WAY too late to start and just walking away to bed lol

[Fuganater]

Here it is. I took 4 pictures to make a panoramic one :D

[knowledgegranted]

I literally stood up and just took a picture when I saw this thread. Sorry for the low lighting/crappy photo.


I could only manage to get this desk as the other once isn't even viewable.

Cleaning is definitely on the todo list....

You'll see :D

[Fuganater]

[diluzio91]

are those klipsch promedia speakers i spy?

[PauL]

are those klipsch promedia speakers i spy?

Why yes they are. The idea of putting my desk in front of the window was so I could see out of it but my monitor is way too big and standing the speakers up next to the monitor would just take up more room; as you can tell, I'm already covering half the window viewing space up. I don't use the speakers that often so it doesn't bother me too much having them back there.

[SgtM]

:devcool:

[Munty]

Is it possible to shrink these pictures? Failing that I'd advise a warning at the start of this thread because the second page forces my computer to grind to a halt! Truth be told it's doing that a lot lately but never on normal browsing so I guess there must be a helluva lot of piccies on that page!

They all look very cool though, isn't it great how we can rate each others workspaces on how much computer related junk there is clogging up the place? Nice and tidy, fail. obsolete hardware bargain box dungeon FTW! :D

[Beta-brain]

Very small working area on top of the washing machine but better than the kitchen table I had to use at my last house and who says men can't multi-task, I'm modding, filing actually AND doing the washing ;)

http://www.fazerfetish.eclipse.co.uk/workspace%202.JPG

Materials x tools = work done (or making a mess) I live in rented so can't go mounting pillar drills and vices around the place :whistler:
I'm working on a new project in the picture and will start a work log shortly when I have some pictures and info worth talking about.

Very envious of some of the work spaces you guys have, I've had my own workshops, garages and sheds in the past and you really miss them when you no longer have them to work in.

Munty, my pic is only 171kB ;)

[crenn]

All my pictures are nice and thumb nailed.

Dont feel bad, when i hit the pictures of SXR's work space my computer freaked out too... my specs are in my sig, so its not just you.

[Munty]

That makes me feel a bit better :p I still need to upgrade though...

Well done Crenn and thankyou too BB, if only we could say the same for everyone I wouldn't still be comforting my computer lol

[Beta-brain]

That makes me feel a bit better :p I still need to upgrade though

The pics in SXRguyinMA's post also make my FF browser grumble a bit but when I checked them some are 4-5-6 MB in size and 4000-5000-6000 resolution, I don't know how the TBCS site resizes pics but they still seem quite big, I don't have that problem with my ancient 2 Megapix camera :redface:

[Munty]

So what we're basically saying is it's SXRguy's fault :D Sort your images out you bandwidth bandit :D

[x88x]

Woah...didn't notice the size of SXR's pics earlier...I must have opened a bunch of tabs at once and it was loaded by the time I got to it. I just have photobucket set to automatically resize anything I upload to 1024x768 (or whatever scaling fits in that size box), so there should never be problems with mine...well, unless you're on dial-up...or really crappy DSL...sorry Fuga.. :whistler:

Anyways, finally getting mine here.

I promise, I'm gonna get rid of those cabinets some day...today, maybe...yeah, that sounds like a good idea. :D

[slaveofconvention]

Big pics? I didn't notice :whistler:

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1305319057.png

And x88x - having a fire-extinguisher in your work area? That just shows a profound lack of confidence :D

On a seperate note - after starting to tidy up a bit and getting all of my paint in one place instead of dotted all over the house.....

http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/slaveofconvention/imagestore/paint.jpg

I think I need to paint something and STOP buying paint lol

[x88x]

And x88x - having a fire-extinguisher in your work area? That just shows a profound lack of confidence :D

Well, when I realized that more and more of my projects were involving high voltage and/or current levels...and/or fire....I decided it would be a good idea.. Haven't had to use one yet, but it's nice to have them (yes, them.. :whistler: ) handy just in case.

[diluzio91]

it you're looking to possibly give them a new home let me know. :D WE could probably work something out.

[PauL]

I'm transfering to another college next fall and I haven't really thought of what to do with my speakers yet since I'll being moving into a dorm but I'll keep your offer in mind. May just leave them with my brother and snag them back after college, but again, I'll remember your offer :)

[TLHarrell]

Old thread, but since I cleaned up my workshop a bit today I figured I'd drop a pic of it here. Stitched together a few snaps from my phone, so forgive the halos and other bizarre effects.

This is half of a one car garage. All framing and everything else I've done myself. Cabinets are from IKEA (kitchen cabinets, yes). Desktop is 3/4" plywood with 3/4" black stained MDF and a 2x2 nailed to the edge. The black kick panels below support the worktop and pass electrical, air and hides my subwoofer. Visible through the window is cabinets above my home office desk. Laser cutter (currently with dead tube) is barely visible at right.

http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/480165_420522421297974_100000206591738_1845420_168 3569829_n.jpg

Got a bit more cleaning to do, and some older laser cutter stock to put up for sale to get it out of my way, but it's a huge start. Hopefully I can keep it cleaner and more functional instead of letting it turn into a pile of crap again.

Now I need more modding victims. :think:

[AmEv]

You've got 2 in the mail...

[PowerChucker]

here is my setup in the server room.. i work in here when i want to get away from the peeps on the floor, also so i can watch some HULU.com when I work, lol..
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v244/powerchucker/2012-04-02083834.jpg

and here is my setup out on the floor at my desk..
like I said, i dont sit out here to much, spend most time in the server room..
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v244/powerchucker/2011-06-16082547.jpg
BTW, My work Laptop that is powering both setups, is a Dell Latitude 6550, 15.6" led screen, SandyBridge Core i5 2410m @ 2.3Ghz, 4GB DDR3, 320GB HDD, GeForce NVS 4200M 512MB. Win 7 Enterprise 64Bit.
I love it, and it has a back lit full keyboard and number pad.

[d_stilgar]

Here's my setup.

I've got three Dell U2412M monitors in 3x1 portrait mode Eyfinity running off of one 2Gb HD 6950.

The desk is a reclaimed door that's a pretty rough version of a safe room door. I didn't have time or money to make it really nice. Speakers are custom made GLaDOS speakers with a Companion Cube sub woofer. The pill bottle is from Left 4 Dead and houses the speaker amp. The bottle cap clicks up and down and rotates to control on/off as well as volume.

I'd like to get a triple monitor stand and longer Displayport cables, but that would be like . . . at least $100 and I'd rather do a DIY livelight than have a stand, so I'll probably do that next. Enjoy!
