+1 for clean setup

Sure did. Originally I had this with four adjustable legs, but it proved too unstable. I came upon a used Fredrik and swapped :cool: Yeah! Go Cougs!

My home office. The desk is an ikea fredrik with a different ikea top.

I'd rather scroll past a reply with pictures than scroll past 10 posts about how to hide them.

I intended to but I forgot. The nearest Ikea is about 4 hours away, so I'm just going to find something at the local hardware store. The desk is nice unfinished, but I can see the need for oil to protect it. You may also want to sand it. As it comes, it's been sanded but there are still...

That is correct.

I posted this setup a few weeks ago: After a trip to Ikea my office has evolved to this: Apparently Ikea recommends not using four of the adjustable legs like I've done on my desk. It's not as solid as my jerker, but I may stick with it.

My current home office setup. I moved in during April... I just put up blinds today. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ccky9v9jtmg942g/Photo%20Oct%2006%2C%206%2045%2058%20PM.jpg

I rocked a setup like that for a year when I first moved out. Good luck on the move and nice wallpaper :cool:

That's super clean. I like it.

Simple. Effective. Love it.

That's a brilliant idea. Look for this in my workstation 2012 post ;)

For comparison, 2010: My setup for 2011 (excuse the picture quality.. bad light?)

Those Jerker type stands are interesting. Was that something Ikea offered or you assembled them from spare parts?

You've got some nice items there... and some really funny ones ;)

How are you liking this racing seat? I saw it on Amazon but it had some questionable reviews.

I love the gear lever.

Thanks for the advice guys. I'll hook it up according to this diagram and run some tests. My misconception about the router/switch really over complicated things.

Great, I'll give that a shot. Much simpler. Thanks!

modem ----- router ----- switch ----- WHS ____________|____________----- PS3 ____________|____________----- 360 _________WLAN__________----- HTPC Let me make sure I understand correctly. In the diagram traffic from the WHS to the 360 will NOT look like this: WHS -> switch -> router -> switch...

This was my intention when I bought the switch. However, with the routing responsibilities still falling on the router... traffic between two items plugged into the switch will still pass through the router (throttling down to 100Mpbs). Is that not correct?

Thanks for the responses. I've done up two diagrams lets start with my current (all wired connections are cat5e). Edit: I forgot to show the MicroCell but I'm sure it's presence doesn't really matter, it's currently connected to my router. In the proposed diagram it would be connected to the...

Components I have: - Linksys WRT-160N (running DD-WRT) - HP MediaSmart WHS - Netgear GS108 switch I have many wired devices (+1 wireless) in my home and between streaming HD content and torrent traffic my router hasn't been able to keep up. I want to redo my network to take the routing...

is it just me or is that iMac not level? It looks like it's leaning to the left... Good looking setup though!

The bass is a bit boomy; I've also had some poor luck with the tweeter on the slave speaker going out or becoming weak, but overall they sound quite nice with flac files.

For your consideration, my 2010 home office. This is my first attempt at stitching: A close up of my desk: Shot of the Ikea Dioder:

I had a similar problem. Out of around 5k songs iTunes would only load 40% of them into a library; other applications would play them without a hitch. Finally I discovered it was the ID3 tags. I used www.mp3tag.de/en/download.html to downgrade the ID3v2.4 tags to ID3v2.3 and clean them up. I...

I tried to find a link, but homedepot.com is unavailable. Basically I went into the shelving section and used the Rubbermaid components. It was one large laminated black board and two 8" L brackets (they have many styles).

I have the same one (and I also don't use the mouse, it sucks). http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard_mice_combos/devices/145&cl=us,en

you guys are correct. it's fuzzy but it is indeed windows 7 on the laptop. the laptop is my guinea pig for all new operating systems (and for school too of course).

Love the new setups this year! Here is mine.

Thanks! Yeah it's patched, but not painted so it looks bad.

I moved apartments and changed my setup a little bit. The TV is mounted using a full motion arm. It acts as my secondary monitor when I turn it towards my desk.

i used to have one of those alien-in-a-jar things. whatever you do, don't crack it open :(

Yes. You can tell by the size, thickness of wood, and cut out. Also, there aren't any accessory shelves for the Fredrik.

I had never seen a Jerker or Fredrik in person until this weekend. My roommate bought a Jerker off craigslist and I went to Ikea to check out the Fredrik. I'll tell you that the Fredrik isn't nearly as stable or large as the Jerker. Hope that helps.

I posted on here once before. In my office I had the Z-Line Gemini Desk from staples. Since then i've added: HP Verve HP Quick Dock Fredrik Samsung 226BW

I'm in class right now I can't give you a real detailed description. Basically I source to the DVI, turn on PIP, hit swap, and then the DVI becomes PIP. You can change the source of the main picture how you normally would. I know DVI will work with HDMI as I usually watch movies with my HTPC...

nice setup. i have to say i would have chosen a smiliar decor if i had the freedom to change my room (yay for renting).

i know exactly how you feel.
