Ahaha, yeah, I basically want your setup. That's pretty much what I'm looking for... something that's classy, and large-ish.

Here's the store in Canada that carries it. It's cheap too.

You just have to make sure that you plan to only have a couple cables and that you're good at hiding/cleaning up cables otherwise a glass desk looks horrible.

Hmm... unfortunately, I'm in the US and they won't ship there 
But yes, that sort of desk is along the lines of what I want. I'm a little worried about how it'll look on carpet, as I have sort of beige carpeting... the modern look should match my other stuff for sure, though. And yeah, I'm planning on using cable ties liberally. I know how shitty glass desks look if they aren't well-managed.

CB2 has a pretty good looking one. If your budget is higher, DWR has some beautiful pieces. Sadly, Design Within Reach is actually out of my reach.

Lol, who the hell's reach is that within?
I should've clarified: I'm a law student
I mean, it doesn't have to be dirt cheap, but ideally under $500. Can go a bit above if it's really worth it.

Blurtastic iPhone shots incoming!!
My set up in my apartment at school is pretty basic. And by basic, I mean a 24-inch ASUS monitor and my Xbox on top of a semi-busted filing cabinet I bought at a Goodwill store that I usually keep by my bed but is currently situated in front of my desk. It's nothing special to be sure, but I'm pretty happy with it, which is why I'm posting this, I guess!

Before anyone asks, yes, my bed is a kiddie pool filled with pillows.

It's a bedroom. It just has a blocked off fireplace for some reason. I don't get it either.Enron said:

Late response, but that's a towel rack from Bed Bath & Beyond. They don't have it on the BBB website, but Amazon has it-

Damn it. The bronze one would look so much better with my setup.

Stop showing off your Vancouver view. I mean seriously. You're making me want to give up my US citizenship and move up the road from Seattle to Vancouver.Tabris said:Is this something like what you're looking for?
What I'm trying to say is I'm jealous.

Alright, I'm sorry to keep asking dumb questions here, but you guys know what you're doing and I'm just an idiot.
So in my pursuit to get a computer desk, I found this:
http://www.crateandbarrel.com/furniture/desks/pilsen-48"-desk/s575286
I saw it in the store, and it looks good IRL. But I really want an L-shape desk, so what I was thinking about doing was buying two of those, and then sticking those in an L shape. So would that look too ghetto? I know that if the sides were completely closed off on the desks, it'd look absolutely stupid... but I feel like this would be fine. Save me from myself, GAF!

Chac,
What's wrong with this one - http://www.staples.com/Z-Line-Legac...Furniture:L_Desks/Corner_Desks:727061:SP230KR
It's much cheaper than what's been discussed. I have one myself but had to condense it when we needed to use more space (I removed the L part). It works well...

I did see that one, but it just didn't do it for me. I'm ideally looking for something with a really thick piece of glass on top, and the way the frame looks isn't quite what I'm going for.

Since I have it, I can tell you the glass is 1/4" thick (roughly). It's pretty good. As for the cheapness of the metal, it's lasted at least 3 years for me and that's with me taking it apart and modifying it.
As for the overall look of it, it does seem cheap, but if you have a Staples that has a display model, you might want to check it out.

Suppose it couldn't hurt to give it a look.

Did you not like the one I linked at CB2? It has two pieces (sold separately) that can form an L.

I do, but I'm weighing my various options. Most of the ones I've looked at that I've liked have just been standard desks that I'd need to buy two of to form an L... I'm just trying to figure out if it'd still look good if I put 'em in an L without any space between them.

Admittedly this picture is old (Judging by the Dashboard) but it hasn't changed since this photograph was taken. (Not Pictured: N64 in the cabinet below)
Also I keep the classic systems separate.

Those of you with projectors, mind giving me some opinions/advice? Looking into buying one, and posted a thread about it (here), but it proved to be a not so popular topic. 
Any advice via PM or a reply to that thread would be greatly appreciated. It's a very expensive purchase, so looking for some input before I take the plunge. Thanks.

I've only had DLPs and they are fine for games, played on a mates older Epson TW2900 and to be honest it didn't really feel any different.

Added some new stuff and replacing all generic boring posters with really awesome high quality prints, non framed at the moment because I dont have the money to invest in just a frame for each poster. That Raynor Standee needs to GTFO, working on getting a friend to pick it up, takes up to much damn room. Picked up a cheap DVD rack at Best Buy, and a cheap headset stand from Home Depot(thank you Cans thread).

I posted up in your thread. I can try and help you out with more. I was in a rush earlier as I was heading out.

I can finally post after being approved after a year yay!!!
I have 5 lol. 1x NTSC-U elite, 2x PAL elite, 1x NTSC-J arcade and 1x PAL arcade.
I have 2 PAL elite's in my living room set up on seperate TV's so I can solo boost games and my missus can watch TV on my 46' and I play on the 23' but when she's out I use the 46'
The import consoles are in my room and the other PAL is in my daughter's room. My imports have Vefas 2 and Death Smiles faceplates. I'll post a pic of my upstair's set up when it's finished, this is my living room set up -
I'll post some better pic's when I get time and I got this 'gaming related' tattoo today so i'll post that too
Finally moved into a slightly bigger place...no longer the matchbox I lived in for the last eight months! Most of my collection is still in CA but this is what I pieced together in Germany over the last year.
Here is my new gaming setup:
HD setup...think it is 42" or 46". Pink Sweets!!!!
My cheapy tated CRT for shooter fun with my big saturn collection...and PS2/DC shooters:
My two very pretty Sega systems (and a J-360):
A few of my more recent handhelds:
My Wonderswan and new Game & Watch:
A small portion of my game collection...was sure to bring back my Saturn games when I went back for the holidays. Also, some of my more recent beloved Indian blu-rays:
Triple, 360, and my new PS2 Slim:
I collect arcade sticks but I've only got a couple here...mostly bought in the last year. I think I've somewhere between fifty and sixty. Four new Madcatz sticks I've bought in the last few months but Madcatz store does not ship to my address so those are waiting for me in CA :-(. Hori love...my favorite brand of stick to buy:
My most recent stick...a little hottie:
My retired DSII stick:
And the best shooter stick EVER made. Got a couple of the Ex-SEs but this is the one I use for all my shooting fun here:
My prized Ibara and Ibara Black Label PCBs. Currently unplayable since all my cabinets are in storage. In the process of building a supergun so I can play them here in euroland:

Yes Boss, I'm not sure why you took so many pictures when all that really matters is Battle Garegga.
And the dude who asked about shelving, Billy Bookcases from ikea. They're cheap and they're solidly built while looking classy.

You guys have an excellent taste for furniture, really. I' going to use this thread for inspiration.
I'm about to get married, and we already have a house. It is very small, but it's fully paid. No rent, no mortgage...
I'm still undecided if we should stay there and just add another floor in the future or invest in a new house.
