needs more empty coffee cups/pop cans to be believable

Nice chair.

Table:  $119 at Furniture Store

Chair:  $59 at Wal-Mart

Monitor  Cradenza:  $65 and labor

Losing almost no workspace except in the back corners of the table:  priceless!

Fixed.  Acceptable now?

My desk is sort of similar to that, except I don't have that nifty bookshelf. But the actual drawers more than make up for it. If I still had that digital-camera-like-thing, I'd show it to you guys. Fortunately, the desks they give us at the University are alot nicer. I'll feel spoiled.

How can y'all be so unorganized?  Grok's is nice & clean, tghe way it should be.

I'm a neat freak, everything has its respective place & is there unless needed.  My desk is all "pretty"

I work 14 hours a day 6 days a week. So the day I am home my desk gets cleaned. For the rest of time mail and bills pile up. I have all that nice stuff but i dont get to use it hardly ever which is a true shame. :/

I need to know the recommended maximum length of EIDE cables, so I can mount my CDR/DVD in the lower-left shelf of my computer rack, and move the computer into a quiet housing.  Does anyone know these lengths and can save me a search?

I think the recommended maximum length is around 40 cm.

That means I will need an external interface.  Should I look for a USB2 adapter for EIDE to connect the CD-R or is something easier and cheaper available that won't decrease performance of the CD-R?

What about Serial ATA? I think those cables can be longer...

Something like this?  $20.

Controller cards appear to run about $50.

Cable (http://www.mwave.com/mwave/doc2/a00306.html) about $9.

$79 + shipping to move CD drive 1m away from computer.  Hmm.
