Scottland the room looks fine other than the walls could use papering?

I'm gonna go ahead a guess you still live at home, which would suggest you are young. I think you would be surprised to find out how old some of us are. Obviously there are the lucky ones with wealthy parents a good sized houses, but a lot of these setups will be the offices of adults, with jobs, earning money; something (if my assumtions are correct) you will be doing one day. So dont get too jelly, though my chair is pretty cool right? Just kidding (kinda). Also, you can build on the cheap. My desk is a sheet of 8x4 cut into place with a leg. It all cost around £50 from B&Q...
2 Things, first of all that is one of the nicest replies I have ever seen on a forum to date. Its honest without being patronising and arrogant. Bravo.
And secondly, to further reinforce Larry's post and also to the poster who mentioned jealousy. Larry is spot on. For the last few years I have often perused this thread feeling something between envy and jealousy, and now I have secured a reasonable job with a reasonable wage these sort of set ups are in my grasp.
Also heed his advice in seeing what you can do DIY wise. Cheap furniture can always be altered to suit your needs. I recently got my hands on two cheap as dirt book shelves and chopped them together to make a brilliant monitor shelf for my desk.
Chin up, it will all be in your grasp soon enough.

He could be a student too. I lived in several house shares before finally getting a place of my own
which meant it's gone from
The student mess
The house share not so messy but still cramped
To the set up I have now.

New setup needs more meat.
Could anybody recommend decent desk lighting? I don't need a massive desk light, more ambient but bright enough to provide enough light for late night gaming sessions that I wouldn't need to turn on my room light.
Also if it didn't cost an arm and a leg that'd be a huge +

Ha, I do indeed live at home. It's not so much the money aspect of it, but rather the actual room I have. While I could fit a nice setup in here I'd have to re-arrange everything, something I don't want to be doing.

Ikea, got a desk lamp for £5 which has tilt, swivel, up down, head movement, the werkz. Can't remember it's name though.
And if I find it's too bright, I simply aim it's head elsewhere and carry on.
