show off the size of your desk

[Sleeper PC 2016]

I want to see how big or how small y'all's desk is. Also if you recently bought the desk, how much did it cost ya. My desk was a freebie from craigslist and its a monster measuring in at 59" x 30" (or 150cm x 76cm for you metric fans), 6 spacious drawers and so damn heavy (guessing at least 150 LB or 68 KG) that you need 2 really strong guys and a dolly to move it. Send pics of your desks, measurements, and if you recently got it, price paid.

Cable management is horrible, however I am waiting to get all of the equipment I want and get the position right before I finalize the whole thing.  Can't even count the times I have completely redone this.  Currently I am waiting on putting the Acer on a monitor arm then move the power amp under the desk. 8ish foot desk though. #36nowifegfkidsalimonychildsupportand15yrsintoacareer

I got a 6' white rectangular folding table. I need to clean it off and I'm too lazy to take a picture.

I think that description is good enough.

Main desk is 180 x 80 cm (5'10" x 2'7") , the PC is standing on a 44 x 65 cm (1'5" x 2'2") drawer cabinet.

Hard to really get the whole thing in the picture given the size of the office and the bookcases to my back left, but there is another drawer unit on the far right side as well.

Got the desk several years ago from an ex, and while it's good, I always wanted more desk space; really fond of U-shaped desks, but with the layout of the office and size, I opted for extending it with an Ikea table-top and Ikea dresser to supplement the storage I needed for extra PC parts, cables, extra keyboards/keycaps, etc...

I also didn't put the backer on the dresser, so I have my cable for my headset running in behind it as well and use the top drawer for storing it which keeps the desk clean. This also allows me to run other things through the back if I need to.

It isn't the size of the desk that matters, it's how you use it

I placed two desks next to each other.  I forget the dimensions and I won't be able to take measurements until I'm on break from college.  I also have a different mouse pad now.  But yeah, this desk serves me fine and it fits my triple monitor setup.

More desk space is always needed.

I have a Jarvis 60" x 30" adjustable sit-stand desk.  The tall position is great because you can just walk up to the desk and use the computer.  It's also healthier than sitting all day. 

 

Because of the movement up and down and the exposed back, cable management is a problem.  The company's solution is to place a surge protector in a rail mounted to the underside of the desk, but that's not practical for me because I have an 8-outlet Isobar Ultra and a 5-port gigabit switch--all of which is too large to fit in the rails and too cumbersome to mount by itself.  Instead, they're stuffed into the white box on the floor.

Hope there's nothing in that closet that you need to access...

this is a desk i built with my dad. its made of thick playwood, 2x4s 1x4s and painted with an outdoor white primer. the desk cost 5$ (only materials we needed to buy were 2 new 2x4s for the legs) the rest of the materials we had were just laying around. i built a server cabinet into one end of it. (i got outbid on the server pc i was planning on buying so for now its empty)

for those interested here is the build log

The answer is not big enough. I've been stock with some medical bills for a while now but I want to get something slightly bigger since you can't see it but there's a laptop I stand vertically behind the monitors (that's the work laptop) so I'd like to at least fit it somewhere in the desk. That is, somewhere I don't need the space for myself

 

 

Also yes this isn't a desk but a re-purposed small dining table, really not the most comfortable thing for someone my size as my knees are most of the time bumping against the central wood beam.

I don't particularly remember the dimensions of it but it's small. Also it's curved... ??

I'm also noticing like half of us are using 10-keyless keyboards. Quite nice to see this form factor is getting more popular so I hope it gets better support in the future because I have run into noticeable problems with apps assuming you have the numeric keyboard.

I like the keypad, but I'm on the fence of maybe looking for a 10 keyless with MX Browns or Blues.

I don't even have enough shelf space for a fruit bowl ?

 

Oh god my room is so depressing

[Ithanul]

Darn, and here I thought I had to down size to a small desk for a bit.

Still, sucks I don't have enough room for all three of my desks and all four of my monitors I have (all four where not for gaming back then).

 

Here a pic of when I had room.  (Back when I did 24/7 folding on a 7970, was the room space heater )

 

Here a pic of my current.  I had to do a major clean since my Dad stacked papers all over the desk while I was deployed for four months (at least this time he did not stack them on my computer intake).

Dude, you're gonna get me in trouble!

id say about "just enough" is acurate

[Sleeper PC 2016]

I think you're winning the printer to desk ratio...

Ha! But please note that the printer is just a normal-sized Brother laser MFC on top of a similarly-colored file cabinet.  It's not a giant office document center with paper trays.
