Your Ideal desk??

Author	Topic
cory5412 68KMLA Comrade-in-Arms USA 4679 Posts	Posted - 10 Jun 2003 : 21:56:50 My ideal desk is about 15 feet wide, 4 feet deep, adjustable height (pnumatic probably) and has a 1.5 foot deep shelf about 3 feet above the main surface. I liked having a really wide workbench in Wa, but I hated that it was so... "shallow" and I also didn't like not having overhead storage... my other desk was really only big enough for one computer, but had overhead storage... Kinda.. "combining them" I feel that a desk should not trap a computer, or hide it, but rather let the computer display it's own beauty... ( I'd probably keep desktops on the shelf above too) Official 68k videographer Official MLA TourGuide "I'm just a normal computer geek who somehow landed a social life"

In fact I've found that I can place a second 'visiting' system on the right edge. Since I'm still building my workbenches, this is handy.

I actually like to have multiple desks at differnt points in the room also I am working on putting desks all around the walls of my computer room. That will give me over 30' over desktop down there. The sad thing is that will not be enough to setup all my systems I'm not real happy with MacDraft after it toasted my 5300. Version 1.0 should be handled with care. For the record, 1.2 seems to be well mannered. emaq123 SE/30 and system 6.0.8 Now we're talking POWER!

For me, a computer desk needs to be at least 2.5' deep to handle large desktops with a keyboard in front of it. I based my workbenches on a IIfx sitting on them with keyboard and mouse in front. The desk I just built for an iMac needed 27-28" of depth. emaq123 SE/30 and system 6.0.8 Now we're talking POWER!
Brett B. Junior Member USA 105 Posts	Posted - 18 Jun 2003 : 16:42:59 i'd need a separate room for my ideal desk. i'd like to room to actually be a different building with AC and everything to keep it cool. it'd have to have a hub in the middle, too but the desk part would be about 4 1/2' high and it would run all the way around the building. so, it would be more like a bench. that way, i could put all my machines on one desk instead of having to use carts and extra tables and.. the floor!
foetoid Full Member USA 554 Posts	Posted - 18 Jun 2003 : 17:18:32 My ideal desk is the one i have now, it's an L shaped glass desk... It keeps me from trying to have a billion computers in my room... and deters me from buying more computers... wait, that would be me wanting to buy a BMW that is detering me... ________________ foetoid, that's (fee-toy-duh) http://www.foetoid.doesntexist.com da band: http://www.burningabbey.com

The desk I just built for an iMac needed 27-28" of depth. It is right around 2 feet deep and about 5 to the corner piece (it is in 3 recombineable pieces, that can be attached in different orders or be used independantly) And the corner piece is about 3 feet to the wall, then there is a 2.5 other piece coming off the other side of the corner piece to form an upside down L. My main monitor is in the crook of the L and I just angle the other monitors and for my duo 2 feet is plenty... but the reason why I did 2 feet wide was so that I only had to get 1 piece of board. (it came in 4x8) -------------------- Christophillis- Portable Squadren Commander 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Total 68k Macs Liberated: 6.02x10^23 Or just 6
cory5412 68KMLA Comrade-in-Arms USA 4679 Posts	Posted - 18 Jun 2003 : 20:11:48 I remember the computer lab at Cedar River in WA (the school I went to 4th -7th grade at) it had two large contigous tables, one around the outside just big enough for the Dell OptiPlexes and QuietKey keyboards, although MUCh plentiful for the LCs and 12" monitors... and in the middle there was an elevated area large enough for 3-4 computers, the main hubs and a projector... at the front of the room to the left was an outside door, to the right was the door connecting it to the library, and in the middle was a projector screen.... while it's not standing level... it would be a pretty good combination if you had loads of similar computers... in the corners the table was pretty deep... so that's where printers went.
