We haven't had one of these threads in a while. So, here it is. Post up your desk/gaming center.

I had built this desk. It's design is loosely based off the design of a desk I already had with the exception of the shelf and CPU tray; the original desk did not have a CPU tray or a shelf under it. I do however wish I had extended the shelf all the way across the bottom of the desk on the one side. I do have plans to add another section under the desk but for now it's pretty much done. I would also like to get a screen mount for the screen at some point as well; it'd be cool to have dual screens.

Here's mine.

Ha, I'm just kidding. Mine doesn't look that good, it's probably older than I am. It does have a famous name on it though "Weider" on the bench. Though since I got it I've put in some custom work for weight placement and balancing. Why did I post it though instead of my desk? I don't like calling it a workstation, because it's not what I consider work :tongue:

I will say though, that is a nice piece of work you did on that desk. I remember when you first posted about it, I guess when you had it assembled but not finished. Certainly is impressive and the finish you put it on it is beautiful, the grain really pops.

I've asked the powers that be to have the title changed.

That's a nice bench too. I had one as a kid growing up. Never really used it much though. Thanks. I tried to do a work log of mine as I was building it. There are a few other pictures floating around of it. I don't think it'll ever be done and I'll always find something to add to it or make a change to.

I have an IKEA Matteus desk, which I'm very pleased with. It looks like http://www.caboodle.hu/typo3temp/pics/6841b30194.jpg (not my pic) but a lot more messy :tongue:

Ahh, titled remade. Ok, well my workstation is at my office at work :tongue: When I get my basemant built, a workstation will be made down there. Your desk is actually something I might try doing, but a bit different...don't think I want a corner piece. My gaming station for now is my couch, 47" LED TV with a PS3 attached. Used to have my rig hooked up to it, but it has since took a turn for the worst and I'm just not into upgrading it again. At a point where when I get more heavily into PC gaming again, I will be building a new rig. Until then, a worked over PS3 and Toshiba laptop which both use the same controller is what I use now.

This is my couch except the cuddler (the piece on the far right) is on the left, and I have a chaise where the cuddler is. I also have the matching oversized ottoman. Easily has about 8 different gaming positions. http://imageresizer.furnituredealer.net/img/remote/images.furnituredealer.net/Img/products/Signature_Design_by_Ashley/color/Katisha%20-%201195589344_3050055+77+34+75-b0.jpg?scale=both&width=500&height=500

I really like my standing desk. Sitting for long periods while at my computer would lead to painful pulses in my legs. Now, I just get sore feet. That beats the painful pulses in my inner thigh by a long shot though.

Mine's a mess compared to the ones posted here. Even my console gaming area is a mess. I got toys, figures, various electronics(guitar tuning aids, DS and Gameboy chargers) along with sweatbands strewn across my desk. I also have a dusty lamp that never gets use.

Yep. My desk is something everyone would want to see and imitate. My desk is an IKEA one that I got from someone, though. The shelves either have boxes with old Sonic comics in them, old books I hardly ever read, manga, or old cassettes(because, why not put my failed cassette collection there?).

Describing the desk is better than actually showing it. It also has tons of paper towels on it because... why not, I guess. I'm too lazy to bother throwing them away and they are good as coasters.

https://www1.officeworks.com.au/ims_docs/49/496389856CD340AAE1008000AC193D36.JPG Except mine is a bit tattered in some places. I need to duct tape those spots. The reason is because I sit with my legs crossed when thinking while gaming. If I am not thinking hard, I do not sit that way. http://www.jesuotaku.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/death_note_l_by_nitro7e-d4s4eti.jpg Tried once, don't do it. It hurts. I tend to think very hard, so yes, I am in my thinking position often.

My PC area has two keyboards and I plan for my desktop to also have two keyboards. Just because. It's a weird thing to like, but I love having two keyboards and find it very useful. It also works as a turbo button of sorts in some games. I think this only works if it's a laptop, though. One other reason for the two keyboards is because I like having a keyboard on the top part and a keyboard on the keyboard tray. I can't stand the keyboard not being lower than the mouse. This may explain why my hands cramp so much, though. Though, once I get into Doom, it takes me hours to stop playing. Almost like I've found my happy place for a few hours that no other game can give.

That's what it is currently, I just ordered parts for my new build though.
