what do you think of this one? do you know of one thats better? I like it for the functionality, and also i can adjust the height to me… I like my desk a lil higher since i am taller ![http://www.ikea.com/PIAimages/16354_PE100655_S4.jpg](http://www.ikea.com/PIAimages/16354_PE100655_S4.jpg) [http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10101&storeId=12&productId=20756&langId=-1&parentCats=10121\*10389](http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10101&storeId=12&productId=20756&langId=-1&parentCats=10121*10389) ---

+1 on the tall thing. My boss built my workstation to normal height, and dammed if I don’t bash my knee 10 x a day on it…☹ Is that harddrive hanging? bungeed? That would bother me, other than that looks nice… ---

i was torn between a desk just like that and the black armoire that i ended up buying. this thing is pretty good looking and takes up very little space. also keeps the wires hidden ---

i like that glass one brad… just don’t have that much room. I am kind of limited with my space. and actually i would prefer the Computer attached to it like it is… keeps great air flow. I have had good luck with Ikea stuff, dunno. I am on a budget so I got to do what i can how much was that corner desk brad? I might be able to fit it if I re arrange some stuff ---

the glass always looks dirty and i’m ocd at my desk but that’s the best. there’s a used furniture warehouse on the shore in mckeesport. they have a selection of wooden desk and stuff but i don’t know if that’s what you’re leanin towards. if nicer, my lebanon office has good stuff. ---

> [@Darkstar](#): > > is your room in your new house gonna be any bigger? no its smaller actually. But the house is way bigger… there will be a spare bedroom, a full bath and a train room up stairs. PITTspeed HQ will be in the basement, I have to finish it myself though… but it will be pretty sweet big back porch as well as LAN in every room with gigabit switching… woot. ---
