Description Since everybody shows off their fancy desktop setup, I thought I'd do so as well.

Here you can see my lengthy workspace, all upon my fancy tempered glass desk from Crate&Barrel.

The boxes closest to the camera are from The Container Store. They're quite handy for containing things.

I wear reading glasses for situations where black type is placed on white paper. My eyes strain with the heavy contrast, hence the glasses.

Those orange cubes aren't all being used at the moment. Not sure what to do with em, but they go with the red vases I have (not shown in the shot).

My computer is an iMac G5 w/ a mighty mouse. No external speakers (though I want to get some).

I love how the iTunes and the G5 are set up, they look like brothers or something. lol

It would have been even cooler if you had duplicated the text and flipped it, like it was in the reflection as well.

My previous desk (on loan) has been taken back by a friend, so I've been looking around for a new desk. I love the look of the tempered glass you've got there, must try to find something similar.

sweet setup man, I wish mine was so clean and tidy..
Right now, I have like, 3 bads of chips and paper thrown all over the place.

Oh yeah, I'm thinking of getting a powermac G5 2.3 for the holidays, should I just opt for the iMac G5? Not quite sure if the price justifies the specs on the PM.

That's one hot workspace.

How do you find the iMac G5? I'm probably gonna buy one before the end of this year but it's always good to get users' opinions.

TheRyanFord In reply to AnnaBramble [2005-11-10 04:17:50 +0000 UTC]

Well I certainly like it (the G5). The new models are even better than what I have and cheaper.

It hits me though, the photo contains so many pleasent colors, shapes and reflections. Please consider submitting it for wallpaper as it's certainly something I'd use.

any way you can kill the text and just upload the pic? I'd use it as a wall, but nice setup. I wish I had that much space!

Already added as a Favourite!!

This is a fantastic image. I can see this being used on an advert for a stylish home furnishing company or something like that.
Apple rules and always will. Sorry had to say that. Been using Apples ever since they came out and will never change.

Anyway fantastic image. Just love it!

Best wishes,

It's too clean, is the only complaint that I could make. I mean, please, man: put a little piece of paper in the middle at an odd angle to offset it all or something?



If there was a stereotypical default look of a designer's computer station, I would label this one it.

halfliquid In reply to TheRyanFord [2005-10-31 21:09:07 +0000 UTC]

I'm a pretty organized person myself, so I wouldn't shun it in terms of organization. It's just too clean and tidy! Though I guess ones definition of "organization" may include "clean and tidy", but mine doesn't: that's probably the problem.

Your workspace represents your style: clean and straight to the point. Lovely desk, the tempered glass is very classy and stylish. Ofcourse the Apple products are beautiful to watch, and their tight designs fit in just perfect.

Yeah well... I'm jealous.

The desk was expensive...but I had to have it. A good workspace only enhances one's creativity.
