Cool Now this is a desk!

http://cgi.ebay.com/Handcrafted-Manchester-Companion-Desk_W0QQitemZ280022933505QQihZ018QQcategoryZ134654QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting

Oh yeah, thats what I need in my home office!


Looking for a decent desk to replace the table I am currantly typing this on.

That looks interesting, its the only one on ebay thats close enough for me to pick up. A bit more than I wanted to spend though, and I'm not sure if I like the top. Black marble would certainly be better.

Heh

Completellllyyy unecessary! Those pieces of furniture are insane. I'll stick to IKEA, thank you!

I am more of a fan of the modern, sqarish, stainless steel Scandinavian stuff.

This isn't ikea though..1K for a glass topped table

Man, you can get a hell of a desk for $60K, huh? That Manchester desk is nice-looking, though. I'd take it over the Ikea anyday.

The downside with Ikea is they won't have the desk I want in stock anytime soon. So I am looking elsewhere.

I kind of like quality so I would prefer real wood vs partical board. I already have a partical board fake wood TV stand. It only cost $30 an serves its purpose.

I want quality but at a decent price.

When I did an internship at Merrill Lynch over the summer it seemed that many traders had the same exact thing.

I don't need four computer screens, I'm not a trader. I just want something tastefull that I can stick a flat screen moniter on, and a bunch of paper work.

Nice set up though.

Ok for the average person 4 is an extreme, but I tell you even now working on other things having this much desktop real estate is UNBELIEVABLE.

Even when I had just 2 it was a BIG improvement.
And most newer video cards have two ouputs, I think the second video card was under 60 bucks. And it is a pretty good one.

Note, I am working on a 6 screen setup, in addition to this.

Possible a Xmas present to myself.

I have enough trouble with one computer screen! I don't like computers and they don't like me.

I havn't found a desk that I think will look good.

Can't decide if I want modern, classic, or maybe something asian.

See the problem is I found a nice glass covered book case set at Ikea that I like. So I will remove my old book shelves and put my books in one of them. But now I need a desk that will work with these since they will be side by side.
