My Desk

by mandrake on Jun.10, 2009, under General Rambling

I’ve gotten quite a few emails and comments asking about my desk setup, so I added some specs to the flickr photo, which I’ll repeat here:

A little information about my setup:

1 8 core mac pro desktop (3 ghz) with 8 gigs of ram.

3 30″ Apple LCDs, mounted on humanscale mounts – each is individually adjustable.

1 12″ Wacom Cintiq tablet

Now for the other periphery in the shot :
1 Sharp Aquos 52″ LCD TV.
Hooked up to it are:
1 Xbox 360 Elite
1 Playstation 3
1 2 ghz Mac Mini w/ 2 gigs of ram

The TV is mounted using a Chief PDR Dual-Arm mount – it extends 200 lbs up to 3 feet away from the wall

then I also have my 2.6 ghz 15″ macbook pro (the new unibody ones) w/ 4 gigs of ram.

The desk the desktop is on is a biomorph multi desk – I like it because the whole thing ratchets up / down and can be configured to exactly the height / configuration that you want. The little side desk I picked up from a local unfinished furniture mart and will be stained to match when I get around to that.

My chair is a custom Theropod chair from Allseating that I had made for me. I love it, it leans back farther than any chair I’ve ever had, and gives me full lower back support considering the way I like to slouch when I sit, and my back hasn’t hurt since.

Soon to come: built-in shelving taking up the dead space next to the sides of the monitors / desk / etc, on both sides. the cubby my desk is in has about the same amount of space on either side. I will take more pictures once I get the shelving built and more of the room configured.

Behind me I have another desk with a couple computers on it, but that desk isn’t fully set up yet, nor does it have nearly the array of stuff on it that the main desk does – more pics to come as the whole office gets configured the way I want it.
