Updated my workstation. I'm a college student, I put all of my money into my PC and gizmo's so I can't afford the real Ikea brand, here is my home-made Jerker. :) I used about $40 worth of shelving that I bought at target. I also invested in some new speaker stands to go along with the 6.1 Insignia/JBL setup. I'm happy with the way it turned out.

Thanks guys!

Yes, those are top of the line Cement Cinder blocks, available only at your local Menard's (or Lowe's or Home depot :)). If I'm feeling spendy some day I might upgrade to the black model (by that, I mean I may spray paint them).

Well guys, I finally got my desk mount in the mail from geeks.com. Two 24" Sceptre's ^_^ I made a slight upgrade from my 226BW's. I've got a bit to do for wire management, but that shouldn't take long. Enjoy!

Oh and sorry for so many images >_> I can remove a few if needed.

Sandman, what is that mounted underneath your desk with the usb cables connected?

I really hope you put something under those cinder blocks to protect that hardwood floor (even if it is laminate which it looks like it may be, it's still not easy to replace or properly fix.). I would kill someone if they put bare cement on my hardwood floors.

I decided to switch it up so I'd have more room by my futon, that way people could actually sit down there. Haha, and you're right it was to the right.
 
Aye. I had to move my stuff around for my futon too :/

When did you get yours? I thought you had two of the LACK coffee tables and a small chair?

My sht is pretty basic room wise:

Except now I stripped and painted my walls. So everything is clean... and got wooden blinds. Not as much junk is laying around either, that was back about 3 months ago. Probably going for the MALM bed frame like yours I think, except in black.
 
Denizens, meet thy doom:

Where data goes to die

Since these pictures were taken, I have added the following improvements:
- Used McDonalds burger wrapper
- Removed the lightbulb from the lamp
- Apple core

I got mine about a year and half ago, all of my furniture at least. Got the desk, lamp's and coffee tables for $75 on Craigslist from a girl that was moving out of state. ( I still have all of that stuff, ill take some pictures tonight.)

haha oh wow, im pretty sure we have the EXACT same layout now in our apartments. Same studio layout I guess, right? I figured the TV was in a better position for viewing in front of the futon. That's pretty crazy though.

That's a nice set up on a budget, I must say. I like the cinder blocks as well. Form follows function, always :D

What do the wooden uprights support (i.e. what's above your setup?)? I'm curious...

That looks like a Futaba (?) R/C transmitter, what kind of vehicle goes with it?
