New Workspace
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.
