Ok, it's not a sim pit, but if you compare to what I was using, to what I just bought, this is sweet!

$170 at Ikea ($130 cheaper than my wifes little Coach Purse LMAO)

My old desk (aka my new workbench)

The new desk, I am thrilled (you can see my co-pilot...slacking as usual)

It is so much more comfy than my last desk, I can finally stretch my legs (it's very deep being a corner desk, I'm not smashed up against the wall lol)

And yeah, my copilots are rather useless...

yeah very nice mate. Mine is more spread out horizontally. My desk was a housewarming present from my grandfather.

Nice desk. I see you have everything at hand. Nice soundsystem, picture of you and your wife, garbage bin, 2 spindles of (empty?) cd's, a book about grilling(?) and a box of tissues for those lonely evenings....

Crash ;)

Nice, Ive really got to do something like that. My desk is so small I'm getting eye strain because the screen is to close.

Cool. Only problem I see is that your main speakers are too high. You could probably mount them sideways (with Dua-Lok or something)on the outside of the hutch and they would sound better.

It's actually a 5.1 surround, the two front speakers are next to the monitor, but you can't see them due to the angle.

Nice. Looks like a very good setup. My very expensive desk that I chose several yearsr ago before I had the need for a large monitor and joysticks and pedals and stuff doesn't allow for anything like that. I still like it a lot though (not like I'm getting a computer now anyway). Anyway. Nice job on that. I'm affraid I'll have to come and take that sound system though.
