Office widescreen
My little but high-octane office in my loft. Had a 17-35mm f2.8 Nikon lens on loan so I snapped a couple of pictures before I had to return it.
The desk is an 80/20 project that I recently completed this spring. This is a big desk made from aluminum extrusions and furniture grade maple plywood. Each pedestal of the desk is a full 19" rackmount for Middle Atlantic shelves, drawers and accessories, in addition to an AC power Center and rackmount server case. The left pedestal houses an NHT 12-inch powered sub (the controller is in the top right drawer, and there are two Acurus home theater amplifiers for the surround system. One of the design constraints of the desk was that it had to accommodate three 24" monitors and the NHT 1.5's that flanked them. This amount of real estate made for a very large keyboard tray with tons of mouse pad room, which was a huge upgrade from my old setup. All in all I think that it turned out pretty well -- mid-project I thought that it was going to be really heinous looking (esp because I was going to use a very dark grey/black flecked Corian for the desk surfaces, like a kitchen countertop), but since I decided to use the lighter wood, it turned out much better looking than I anticipated.
I'm currently in the process of putting together a new desktop PC rig to run this. I'm trying to figure out if I want to try to squeeze a water cooling kit into the horizontal 4U server rack, or just grab one of the HP Blackbird cases. One of the new ATi cards that will run a triple head setup like this is a MUST however.
