    Ya it's old, but the program I found makes it run like a boss. The ONLY game I'm having CPU problems on is Planetside 2, but that game is horribly optimized anyway.

    It's actually quite stable, i've got the stand braced on the lower sides, not visible in the picture. Plus Queen sized memory foam bed, I don't move an inch..and i'd have to be 8ft tall for my feet to reach it.

    It's an external backup drive, freely moveable between computers or ready to take with me if I need. Also adding a 4th drive in my PC would be a pain, my sata power cable has 3 connectors and there's no goddamn way I'm running another power cable + sata cable for 1 drive -_- (though again, this is irrelevant because it's an external drive :P).

    According to my order, 29/5/2012. That's 5/29/2012 for you dwellers of the gun-lands. Keyboard is going strong, no issues.

    Been asked this before in this same thread lol, it's not sold in any store though it wouldn't be too hard to find something similar right? It's just a big corner office desk with curves and steel framing, got it for $50 because the owners were moving sites and selling all the office furniture. The right side (on which the guitar is sitting) is detachable so if I removed it, the desk would resemble the shape of a giant gamepad. I only just noticed that lol! o_O

    @Xuvial I'm so jealous! I want a nice desk like yours, although I agree with Deltrus on the Ikea pricing. Where can I get a large, oblong/l-shaped desk that's decent, not made of glass and not $250+? I have a large glass desk and I can't stand it. Bought a massive Goliathus just so I wouldn't have to dust and clean it every day.

    CHECK OUT MY SETUP W/ MY POTATOCAM 5000!






    Computer stuffs:
    I5 2300, 6GB DDR3, ASUS HD 7850, Antec 520W PSU, BitFenix Merc Alpha case
    LG E2060T on the left, E2442 on the right

    Peripherals:
    Razer Goliathus Extended Speed edition, Blackwidow Ultimate and Carcharias
    Logitech G600, Logitech F710, Logitech desk mic that everyone uses, IT'S EVEN IN THE AVENGERS!
    Altec Lansing VS4621

    Other stuff:
    Sony PlayStation 3D display, LG BP325 Bluray player, PlayStation 2! I adopted an abused NES but I'm still trying to figure out how to connect it to a display that only has Component and HDMI. There's an old Samsung laptop hooked up to the display as well, used it when I was troubleshooting my desktop, otherwise it's mostly inactive. Keyboard was massacred in a freak juice tidal wave but the laptop itself works fine, Razer Arctosa & Abyssus took the place of the terrible keyboard and touchpad.


    I also have a few things I've always wanted to show off...I work at Futureshop, and I typically work midnight releases. After the Diablo release, I was allowed to take a bunch of the displays home!






    And yes, that is a Premium Format 12' Stormtrooper. It will stay in the box forever and endlessly multiply in value, forever a relic of one of the greatest sci-fi stories ever told.

    Also, that KimK poster was a present from a troll who knows I hate her. She has a Moustache and Goatee.

    Old pic but the desk is the same.



    It's bigger then the picture makes it seem, I'm 6'2" and with my chair at max height I can still fit comfortably under it.

    In Sweden Ikea is very cheap and I wouldn't call the stuff they make crap, most of it lasts 10+ years.

    I think your desk is a bit overburdened, looks like it is sagging in the middle.
