I also especially like the Bane art work. Wheres it from ?

My new desk finally setup, it actually came on Monday but I've been way to busy to set it up. Picked up my chair and it just so happened to be
on sale when I got there, half price too! I also got a new keyboard and mouse delivered just in time to get everything set up.
Along with my speakers and monitor, its basically a whole new setup besides the computer. Looks like I have some upgrading to do.
Its hard to take photos in my room as its so dark even with the light on, but my camcorder fared much better than my phone at taking these pictures
so I made use of it for once.
The monitor is an Acer S236HL, 23" 1080p LED with a glossy screen. It looks really beautiful playing darker games like Batman Origins. The contrast on
it is great, the blacks are really black and the whites stand out well rather than looking slightly blue (as I've noticed on other similarly priced monitors).
As for the speakers, I'm sure you guys can tell that they're Gigaworks T40 S2s. Not much to say about them that hasn't been said, they're about
the best 2.0 speaker setup you can get that fits on top of a desk. They have a surprising amount of bass.
The desk came from Ikea, its the Ullrik storage leg and a Linnmon tabletop in black / brown. its 120 x 60cm and held up by 2 Sjunne legs on the left side.
The only niggle I have with this setup is that the Ullrik was supposed to come with some 'plastic bumpers to stop the tabletop from moving'.
The only plastic you get with it though are some ring shaped things you have to nail into the table and it doesn't really explain how they work?
The chair came from Argos and I got it for £35 instead of £70, supposedly a new price or something. I don't remember the name but its really comfy.
The keyboard and mouse, oh boy am I glad I got these. The best I've ever used and I'll never go back. The mouse is a Corsair Vengeance M65 and it
is sat upon a Corsair compact mouse pad. It glides across it really well and has a nice weight to it (also macros, yay!).
The keyboard is a Vengeance K70 keyboard with blue Cherry switches. Its so clicky and has big chunky keys that are all clunky when you press them down,
it really feels like I'm typing on an old typewriter or something. It just... ...it feels amazing.
Now for those that are interested about the canvas on my wall, I hate it and have no idea where it came from. But its staying there until I get something
to replace it with, as it still looks nicer than massive screws protruding from the walls.
Compared to my old setup, this one is just awesome. I could say its about 100x better but its probably more like 100,000. I mean, I have a chair now.

Sorry for the bad quality, its hard to get good lighting in my room because the walls are orange.
In desperate need for a chair, actaully, I think I need to kit out my whole room with new furniture.

Just finished this, monitors will eventually be replaced by Dell U2414H when they're released
Looks great. What size desk top is that? Is it custom made or from Ikea like the base units?
Cheers,

It's a piece of solid beech worktop 720mm deep cut to fit the width of the room. the 720mm depth leaves a gap about 100mm behind the units where I can run cables.

Oh, I totally see how they work now. Still, that means no 'bumpers' came with it at all. I'll try the double sided tape anyway, thanks for the heads up!

What my setup used to be like
What my setup is now like
Done a few changes to my PC since then but I'll get a new pic up after Christmas when I have a less pain inducing chair and new fans

Ha! We used a cahir like that for LANs back in the day. We used to call it "The Back Breaker".

Haha, I can relate to that pain, loving the name "The Back Breaker" too

I have the same monitor, well 2 of them actually in a dual monitor setup.

it is great, the blacks are really black and the whites stand out well rather than looking slightly blue (as I've noticed on other similarly priced monitors).
Lovely monitors although the slim bezel seems pointless as there is still a bezel that would be present on a normal monitor anyway
Oh and there isn't a source change button which was a bit annoying when I had my ps3 connected.

NeilMick, looks great, I rejected the idea of using Ikea worktops...they're just not deep enough for a desk. The units on the left - could you not have hung those up on the wall? As they're taking up a chunk of valuable desk space .

I had a K65 for the shortest time ever and it was very nice. Ended up with a CM Quickfire Rapid, the K65 was much sexier.

So here she is..
I got the cherry mx browns, I am not sure how they compare with the others, but man am I impressed with how it feels like to type on one of these again. I feel like I am back in high school using one of those BBC micros..
