When you get your son a pc for Christmas and then need to extend your desk

I absolutely love that! I cannot wait for my son to be old enough where I can have a setup like that with him. Looks great too

Haha! I bet!
My 3 year old is obsessed with Star Wars and always wants to play Battlefront 2, but it involves sitting on my lap and me operating the keyboard with my hand on top of his on the mouse. All he does is press the left mouse button to shoot
so not quite the same! But he loves it and it gets me excited about when he's older and playing games like that properly and have a setup like yours

They certainly have....should have stuck it outside (how do i get the fresh air to him lol) Have to admit it's pretty cool playing together, i send him in first as bait
Now we've got a house, I can have a man cave so I am looking at getting a desk. I notice that a lot of you have just used a laminate worktop for the topside supported by two Alex drawer units and this caught my eye:
http://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Worktop-Blocked-Oak-Effect-3000-x-600-x-38mm/p/213454 - £52 after discount for a 3000mm x 600mm x 38mm worktop.
What are everyone's thoughts? I plan to cut it down to the length of the wall I plan on putting it against (about 2.8m), and using the two Alex drawers to support it. Will I need a centre support?

That's similar to what I did for our spare room.
It's a kitchen worktop I got from a local joinery place, I'd measured up the width of the room and had it cut to roughly that size, built some supports against the wall for it, then when I got it into the room cut it to size fitted it and put the legs on for aesthetics and support at the front.

˄˄Monitor is huge. Making up for something.......
Originally it was just a stick on coat hook thing, but it fell off, now it hangs off a spare guitar mount i had.
[Edit] Similar to this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anpro-Guit...sr=8-1-spons&keywords=guitar+wall+mount&psc=1
handy because it screws into the wall.

New year, slight revamp.
Got my racing rig on locking castors so it can move out of the way easily and not have to keep packing it away.
Rift is setup but need a known good hdmi and usb extension cable so I can run the cables round the back and out of the way.
Its a small room but I have everything I need in one place with little compromise. VR play area is about 1.5 x 2.0m.

12 years it's a long time but, man that looks dated
My trusty Gateway PIII 500 which is 6 year old. I just recently got a new system which I'll add as soon as it's back up & running again.

Lol, what an embarrassing pic, you'd think whoever posted that would have taken it down by now.
ps: I loved that plant
Not embarrassing, it's what it was like. I really enjoy at that old thread, more so than the new the thread as it it's good to see how much things have moved on.Lol, what an embarrassing pic, you'd think whoever posted that would have taken it down by now.
