Sleep Is For The Weak

A Caffeinated Ham Radio Geek’s Unix Musings

New Workspace

without comments

On Halloween I ran down to IKEA with a friend.  He was in search of a bookcase, and I was at least passively interested in a new desk.  The one I had was a glass and steel corner desk that I got for around $100 several years ago.  Once I got into the Ham Radio hobby I quickly realized just how much I don’t like glass top desks.  You can’t hang anything from the bottom of them at all.  Which makes cable management a royal pain.  Anyone who’s a ham knows just how many cables I’m talking about.

I picked up a 59″ x 38″ desktop, four legs, and a monitor stand for about $115.  Added a $25 keyboard tray from Fry’s and came up with the picture above.  I think it came out pretty good.  Now I just need to add some cable management bits to the back and underside of the desk.
