Best iMac Desk?

[ogun7]

If you want cool, high quality, well designed desks to go with your cool, high quality, well designed computers, go to http://www.hermanmillerred.com or http://www.anthro.com/FitSystem.asp or http://www.anthro.com/template.asp?CartName=iCart&Tag=grid . These companies both advertise heavily in MacWorld and MacAddict and Herman Miller Red was here in New York at last years MacWorld Expo. Check them out, trust me you'll be impressed. I'm typing this from a tangerine iCart.

Haha

That is a horrible desk. It looks more like a cupholder to me. Where do you write? Or print? Or have drawers? Or put a lamp? Ermmm...

that's not a desk...

Looks more like some nice wood counters to me, minus any cabinets, or drawers under them.

Just curious, what wood did you use???

I should have said best fer me.....

Wow - I didn't realize my idea of a fun desk for my iMac would cause such a stir. I agree with most posts that say - the right desk for the right user is what counts. I had bought it originally for my lap top and was delighted that it fit my iMac - and it is quite sturdy. I work in the living room from a big comfy chair so I just pull it up to me and it works great.

But alas - it's a choice thing. I must admit mouse performance is sub optimal - so I'm searching for a cool round pad to go on the snack table.

I've been so mobile for years now - I guess I couldn't imagine sitting at a big desk. At any rate, I think the company that makes these (joey manic) certainly didn't intend this to be used for a desktop. That's just me being me.

I am amazed at the number of Mac users who got a bit silly because, of all things, your desk doesn't conform to the norm!

You go girl.

I think Desks are a dead concept.

I like the desk and have been thinking along similar lines. Why use a desk when everything can be arm-mounted? Ekornes makes a beautiful series of recliners called Stressless, most comfortable chair known to man. Medical supply firms sell mounting posts and armatures for mounting document trays, LCD's, keyboards, etc.

Just picture it: Kicked back with a little table and cup holder attatched to the chair, Keyboard, Monitor, documents and mouse all EXACTLY where they are most comfortable. Ahhhhh. Now if I only had the 3 Grand I would need for the parts.

Flashgoirl, Did you buy that in Seattle? Fremont has a store that was selling those right across the street from Adobe. Just curious.

oops sorry Beth... I thought the page was written by a "phillip"... anyhow - pronoun on the main article has been corrected.

As for a mousepad... you sure you don't want a nice MacRumors mousepad?

Mousepads

Sorry ther Arn but the Optical mice hate changes in surface contrast more than anything. They skip around and jump whenever the surface changes colour or reflectivity. A plain, un-patterned surface is essential and anything but red. I like the Logo, but it would have to be used upside down.

I am now using a nice black background mouse pad... granted it has a HD logo in the center, but the color isn't harsh enoug to make the mouse act funky.

 

[agent_smith]

very cool...but lacks the essential mac-look. Possibly some white plastic with trasparent layer wrapped around. Or the graphite look...

props to the mousepad!!!
