    The how would he take a pic of his laptop setup? :p

    Either way I like the clean look, sometimes I wish I could get away with just one laptop.

    My desk, macbook pro, prostar back up system, hp photosmart c4480 all in one printer copier scanner and my iphone. I know the desk isn't special but it was my grandpa's when he was a kid and it was free so when i collect fee's on the first of the month for mowing i might have enough to upgrade. :cool:

    Dood. I envy your printer stand. Pure secks. :D

    Solid, my parents have the same desk. Ours was good until we tried taking it down to move it ... now it's held together with a lot of extra wood and screws.

    I knew I should have gotten that desk instead of the one I got. Looks great. Unfortunately for me Ikea was two states away until they built one two hours away this year.

    Like i said, i need a bigger desk. It does make a good LCD pad though lol

    Half of the mantis pad will stick off my desk if i use it as a mousepad. I use a $1 IKEA pad instead :D

    Blasphemy! Lol. I use 2 PCs at work and sometimes when I need to do extra tasks Ill use 2 at home. I was just wondering, since I have a 17in laptop and a 12in like you and I use the 12in for mobile work but when Im back home I use the 17in for ease and the extra power/performance.

    Thanks. Yeah, they are still kinda pricey, but I got this one from Amazon for $283 vs 349-359 major retailers sell in stores. good luck getting one when you are ready. It really makes a huge difference in windows experience index :D
