Facing the computer screen.

Yes.

And I hope you never spill a drink on your desk.

 

Doesn't your neck get sore after a while?

 

Perhaps get a larger desk or bench and sit straight facing it.

 

Actually. Why don't you wall mount it?

 

I look to the side. I need to be able to talk to staff or visitors that come and sit in front of me, so it wouldn't really work if there was 30" of ACD masking my face.

Doesn't seem to cause me any problems. I'd say the angle is less severe than the one in the picture, and I also sit slightly angled towards it (hurrah for swivel chairs), but yeah, it's all good

Edit: Can you get rid of that strip of plugs? It's making me uneasy

 

It shouldn't matter as long as your comfortable...

 

Yeah that powerstrip being up there makes me nervous. Sort that out, will ya?

It seems odd to have that off to one side but if that's how you prefer it then so be it. I think facing it is better and if you're worried about desk space, wall mounting sounds like an idea.

 

You paid for wireless mouse and keyboard, but have mains power cables all over your desk?

(mutters something about mad dogs and englishmen, especially as these look like UK powerplugs)

You could put your keyboard at an angle too, then you'd be straightup.

Or install a sliding keyboard tray under your desk to give you more room.

 

I used to have my iMac at an angle like that but I find it much easier working with it in front of me because there's less head movement to the side that begins to kinda hurt your neck.

 

Isn't resting your wrists/forearms on the table bad for you?

 

Much better.

That's why God invented the LCD monitor. So that you don't have to be all 1990's and put the monitor on an angle because its too big for the desk.

 

I can't face my monitor anymore... not after the unspeakable acts i've done to it.

 

Looks much better now But I'm wondering, why the heck do you have that mouse?

 

lol, I got one of those

 

Good thing you switched. You might not have any problems now, but after they come, you'll being cursing at your old habits. I know I did. I changed my arrangement (cost me a good 130 sumthin') but it was well worth it. I haven't had backaches that were plagueing me for so long.

One more thing, when you rest your arms on the desk are they at a right angle to your body or somewhat extended? Having your arms higher than they should could lead to some pain later on. I used to do that with my old mac, I installed a keyboard tray and it's awesome, something you might want to consider.

 

I'm in a 5x5 closet, and I have a CRT monitor. It's just that my desk is two feet away from the wall.

 

you live in a closet?


reminds me of Borat when he gets in the elevator and thinks it's his room

"aha verrry niiiiice room"

 

Yeah why are you in a closet?

And lol at Borat, love that bit.

 

Stole the words out of my brain.
