Don't you find your keyboard a little too high when you type?
Do you recall that our old computer desk used to come with 2 tray - 1 for mouse and keyboard while the higher tray for monitors.

Nowadays most people would use standard height table and place everything in a the same level. (Typing support to be at lower level)

It's way too high and I have to sit all the way up. I did not choose the furnitures and they were bought by my parents when I was away from home. I'm looking to replace them eventually. Also the drawers make things even worse

hehe the worktop doesn't suit your rig le.. let me know what you eventually come out with.

My workaround with this is :

Buy a height adjustable table. lower then table, extend the monitor. But writing will cause you hunch back a little.
Sitting up too high is not too comfortable.. I sit rather high in office too, standard workdesk with computer doesn't cut it

Adding New Monitor hehehhe for eyefinity... need to buy 1 more

Wah 3D EyeFinity?!

nice

27"?

As much ad I dislike ikea's quality I find their gallant series to be pretty decent. I may get one of the corner/l-shaped unit.

The problem with my current desk is that it is old fashioned, too high up, drawer is blocking my leg which forces me to sit with my arms below the table. Desks are supposed to be solid and thin so that your arms should be parallel with the desk when typing.

Ikea furniture is not very solid and actually quite low quality in comparison.. But hey they are cheap and have nice practical design.. I still hope that if I can self design my table.. You will need at least a 8 x 2.5 feet table at least for your setup..

I can imagine your pain haha.. wished that you could have crush that stupid drawer xD

Get adjustable height table.. It's godsend once your setup them properly

Actually I did remove the drawers before but the table wasn't stable. the drawers' frame was needed to secure the table.

8ft should be alright, 10ft would be nice. I do have other stuff I need to place on the desk but clearly I do not have enough space now. Usually a solid desk could be done with 3/8-1" MDF and whatever laminate you prefer. Topping it with a tampered glass top would make it impossible to warp.

I'm not sure where could I find ready made table that's minimalistic, solid, and affordable

I thought this is a topic that showing workstation pc? My understanding of Workstation is something related to working pc like awesome built for render purpose, audio editing workstation with all the controller installed, or render farm like how people connect a few cpu together for graphic rendering purposes, but now it looks like most of people are showing off their gaming pc over here.. so as long as a gaming pc with more than 1 monitor get upgrade become workstation here? i'm not sure this thread is named correctly or ppl here understanding of workstation means (pc with more than 1 monitor) correct me if i'm wrong. ^^

and also from most of the specification i cant really see any workstation hardware related inside.. it's all fancy gaming hardware.. razer bla bla steel series, fancy cooling with lots of lights.. etc..

Unfortunately, the "workstation" defined here isn't exactly the workstation that you had in mind.

The first post suggests that:

then why should use the terms of "workstation"? this is kind of misleading since anyone can post any type of computer here as long as it is a full computer system. So what you are saying is the thread creator uses wrong name? tsk tsk..

It's certainly not the best term used for this thread but I wouldn't bother nitpicking on it. It could have been named

> Show Pics Of Your PC Setup
> Show Pics Of Your Desktop
> Show Pics Of Your Computer

If you are not too happy with what's being posted here, or how the thread's title wasn't defined according to the content of the thread, you can feel free to report it to a mod/admin or PM the TS to have it amended.

no lar.. cause im just searching around for workstation build and see if there is any render farm information around here.. and i go through quite some time.. the end i found everyone is posting their gaming desktop and awesome build which is not related to workstation.. so im kind of like get cheated. hahaha. no offence. btw this thread is awesome for everyone cause there's always more gaming built in market than real workstation. if oni workstation can post here i believe this thread will be cold. ^^ not to say report or what. i'm just asking.

I don't have a render farm, but I have a file-farm (file server)












Forget about lifting this, I think it weights more than my 800D

wau it looks awesome.. what is filefarm? place to store a lot of files? sorry im here to find info about all these so i not really good in workstation pc. how have how many processor in ur file farm?

It's my file server. Only 1 cpu is in there, I moved my E8400 into the server and it's actually an overkill. The server is powered by an OS called Unraid (lime technology) which is based on a linux distro. The server comes with 20 hot swap bays, and 2 more internal 3.5" bays. 1 drive is required for Parity and it protects the whole array.

I can have 19 hdds with 1 parity drive. If one of my drives died, I could just replace that drive and the system will rebuild all data. If 1 data drive died, and the parity drive died at the same time, I lose the data drive and parity drive. If 2 data drives died, I lose data on both drives. This is very similar to RAID4/5.

Since it is powered by Linux, I could run all kinds of stuff in it. My squeezebox server is being hosted there, so is my SABNZBD, Utorrent and etc are all hosted in there as well

wau u sounds so pro wei.. i think this thing suits my need too.. is this expensive to build? do you have any source related to a pc render farm? >< i want to learn how to build my own render farm for my studio..

Unfortunately most of the parts were not bought in Malaysia. You won't be able to find Norco casing here. I know Supermicro mobo and cards can be found here but it would cost a lot of money, just like those stupid Ergotron monitor arms being sold here in our country.

I don't know what you wanna do, but if you need lots of processing power, you need to wait for LGA2011 or get an EVGA SR2 with 64gb of Rams . That's all I know, good luck
