[QUOTE=woodchuck34;19808320]alright, I'll now be constructing my new desk over a period of couple weeks. I just went to the lumber store today and bought $350 worth of african mahogany. I also spent some money on poplar for supports (you don't see them so i thought cheaper wood would be fine). I'll post pics soon. What I'm planning to make is something along the lines of this, except a little shorter, and it will be a much richer, darker color. Also, the handles and drawers will be different, this is just an overall idea

How much experience in woodworking do you have because that's a rather hefty investment.
[QUOTE=Keithoms;19807914]Im thinking of swapping the PC for a Mac Mini :S[/QUOTE]
Mac Minis are great and all, but why replace a good PC for a lower spec one?
A iMac would look great in there, see if they are in your budget aswell

around 5 years or so. My father has been into it for about 20-25 years, and while I'm still around I'd figure he'd teach me. This is more of a guidance project though, he just tells me what to do and i do it. This is our workshop

Then go for it, the mac mini still has the nvidia 9400m so playing games on it is still very possible.
[QUOTE=bigdoggie;19806510]I love diagonal ceilings like that, gives this comfy feel.[/QUOTE]
I guess they're alright, if you're 5 feet tall.

Cleaned up my desk a little bit. Making some music. Just took this picture.
For some reason I really like this picture.
It has a vintage feel to it, it's pretty good actually
I really love the Dwight bobble head you have.

It's cozy, I like it.
I have yet to contribute my setup to this thread. I did almost 2 iterations ago but now I have an entire room for my computer doodads. I'll post it once I'm done with renovations.

Is it sitting on a sleeve? I'm looking for a good sleeve. The one I'm using now cam with my IBM Thinkpad and is pretty suxor. It's like plastic.

it's on a Targus chill pad "made for Mac" that I got for $20 at Best Buy. the main reason I got it was to elevate it, but it also keeps my temps down by 3~4C which is nice
Just ordered myself the Datacolor Spyder3Elite color screen calibrator.

Tried doing some slight HDR to get the monitor in exposure.
Any tips on taking better photos? I've taken in the fact that, Flash=Bad. All I have for lighting in my room is a lamp on my desk. I got a 12mp kodak if that matters any :/
