Default Woohoo, new computer desk!
Its not fancy, its downright basic, however its MUCH better than the previous computer desk. We recently moved locations at work, and much of the old furniture was left behind when they bought new stuff for the new building. So I took one of the old desks, I think I might take another 5ft section to complete it on the left side.

Monitor: Acer AL2216W 22" widescreen.

old desk:


New desk:


The systems pictured are:

Powermac G4
1.42ghz x2
2gb ddr
Radeon 9000
80gb x2
Leopard 10.5

Dell OEM box from fleabay
2.66 P4-d
2gb
Radeon 8500 64mb
80gb HD
250gb external firewire x2
dual boots ubuntu 7.10 (primary), Win XP Pro (secondary)

Macbook Pro 15" (work laptop)
2.6ghz c2d
2gb
160gb
Leopard 10.5 + XP Pro in Parallels

Not pictured: 2tb fileserver for network

Granted, both systems are aged, I don't game much, and don't run Vista, Compiz provides all the eye candy I could want and the R8500 is surprisingly quick at rendering the effects, though I picked up a Radeon 2600xt 512mb for $60 and I'm just waiting for it to ship. The Powermac G4 is blazing fast considerings only a dual 1.42ghz setup. It can play 720p without hardware acceleration just fine, but 1080p is out of the question. I really have the mac cause I got it from work for free and I honestly like OS X.

Which is why my LInux looks almost identical to OS X
