Quite the bedroom makeover - have a look (loads of pics)

Jesus that looks awesome! So jealous. The lighting you fitted above the desk really sets it off too! As has been recommended - some well placed pictures would just add that finished touch too :D
 
nice, I would love to get something like that done, I aint exactly ecstatic with the new argos desk I got, may give my uncle a bell and get a quote

Looks so awesome, you are a lucky man!
 
Thanks for the comments guys, will have to show this thread to him as a little reward for his work.

jdickerson - there is no better place for the tower, I shifted it around all sorts of areas but this was the only real suitable one. (a) it never gets hit by the chair, (b) keeping it there still lets me see the blue glow + internals through the window :) It's more awkward because I have to run cables the whole way round the desk to get to it but it works. We actually had planned out dimensions for an aluminium bracket to be bolted to the wall and have the computer sitting on it, but I didn't see the point.

That photo of the cables under the desk is actually 4 or 5 months old, they have been tidied up considerably since that. I might consider getting some sort of cable tidying for the sake of completeness. Will definitely get a couple of good pictures for the wall though.

The house is owned by my parents but I live in it and pay for whatever's needed for it, it was bought 5 years ago for us + rest of family to go through university. I wasn't sure if I would stay here after uni or go elsewhere, but with the current house price situation I'm going to hold off for a while yet. If ever do get a place though I'm going to get the room dimensioned the exact same as this one so I can bring the desk with me :D

Room looks very nice indeed but as above the heat generated by those bulbs must be immense in the summer!!

My own room is huge but because I have a doublebed there is little room to customise a desk so have to stick with a standard desk :/
 
Jesus that looks superb! You should take the carpenter out for a few beers for that. Superb use of what looks like the most bizzarely shaped room. I'm very jealous as im sat @ my £30 desk....
 
Wow, nicest setup i've ever seen i think! I am now humungously jealous, that is a real piece of work, the canopy looks fantastic.

That man is a wood working genius! Awesome stuff.

Maybe but I don't care :p The leccy bill was already over £100 a quarter before this system was in place, as long as it doesn't hit £200 then I know it'll be grand :p

Was actually just thinking there of replacing them with BMW angel eyes :D

Can't take him out for beers as he doesn't drink :) He just demanded free computer services for life which suited me alright.

To burned_alive - it's a 3 bed house, an end terrace with a triangular section protruding from the side wall. It's actually the triangular part of the wall that's given me the space to put a desk in my room in the first place! I guess it's the fact that the room was so weirdly shaped that I needed a custom built desk at all, and then ideas just started coming.
