In Pictures: Extreme Computer Desks

Unusual ideas, unique places, unconventional solutions. The PC landscape and its denizens couldn’t be more diverse. We’ll forgo (almost) all of the trash this time around and focus on the exceptional for a nice, laid-back experience.

Ah darn...was hoping for a complimentary photo for #39

The first picture is what we call a Call of Duty extremist. The second picture is what we call a Battlefield extremist.

Oh I could have made my comment better if I had read the picture descriptions and didn't make myself look like an idiot.
The storm is coming.

The first picture is what we call a Call of Duty extremist. The second picture is what we call a Battlefield extremist.

How?

 

[ykki]

I think that some are pranks played by co workers and such.

Help. I can only see the first slide. Then the second. After that it freezes and I cannot see any other slide or even go back to the first. I have Google Chrome and a cable modem.

The first picture is what we call a Call of Duty extremist. The second picture is what we call a Battlefield extremist.

How?

I can assume he's picking random, although battlefield maps are HUGE compared to CoD so maybe its the size of monitors and such he's refering too? My guess is he just picked the two and went with it. He's only old school if its TFC vs CS

 

[TechyInAZ]

ill guess at pic 9: 500?

 

[Grognak]

"somewhat reasonable". Right.

The first two pictures are of the same setup in the same room, just things rearranged and different monitors.

This is Ikea’s new PC furniture prototype called the Knut-Oliver.

NEW? That monitor looks like the 13" SVGA I had back in 1991!

First 2 pics look like the wife banished all his boy toys to a single room.

Eyefinity 6.0 looks like someone doesn't know how to use a graphic equalizer.

Although fun, I'm a bit disappointed with this article. A true roundup of actual computer desks would've been more useful. Even if many were out of my price range.

Reception - Screw how many employees Tony has. I'm just looking for Waldo.

Did Toms Hardware mean to write "Extremely UGLY Computer Desks"?

I was kind of hoping to see some amazing modern-day eyefinity setups for us all to go green over... How about that one for the next picture "article"?

Nice. Probably attracts more attention than those Lambo desks. How often do you dust it?

If you get speaker stands, you could fit a bigger monitor on there, or perhaps a multi-monitor stand.

This is a 27" WQHD monitor, 144Hz + G-Sync. But this is only a part of my "museum". Normally I'm sitting on a 34" 21:9 and another, smaller water cooled system. I have to pay for my electricity and this is really a lot each month

But I have an idea. I can make a photo story about all my systems from the last 3 years at Tom's Hardware. This were at least over 60 cases and I think, some builds are really funny and interesting. Only a small part was translated to English, too bad

 

[Efrayim]

I want to see what cam out of the scanner of pic 38. lol

Huh. I figured probably about 24". Didn't realize how big that desk was.

Thanks for the additional pics. These are much easier to see. I like the water cooling setup. Would be nice to see the parts list.

over 60 cases and I think, some builds are really funny and interesting.

Sounds interesting. It'd be great if you could include part numbers of the case, PSU, CPU, GPU, and coolers.
