deskthority

I need to get my arcam alpha 9 and poweramp out the loft...

I can't get my desk area sorted until I get the rest of the house done too much money and I'm too lazy to get it all done.

My desk

nice case i am going to use one for my server / nas box, R3 if i am correct yes ?

My current setup at work. I'll have an X230 soon with a proper Linux install (Windows is crap for what my job entails at work...).



The arm rests are perfectly positioned, so my wrists can float while typing or using the trackball.

Still need to raise the monitors a bit (probably should order some books or something ), and it'd be nice to have a 3rd monitor in the middle

Very nice Haata, the uTron look great!

How long have you been using the Utron for now? I'd love to get one but the longevity of the topre switch really puts me off.

What?! You want to make the monitors higher? I tried the same thing with my Dell 2311 and I felt like I was forever looking up at the sky when I wanted to look at the top of the page!!

Constantly I've probably only used the uTron for about 4 months. But it seems to hold up just fine.
Since it's white, it gets dirty easy...

I'm tall, so I'm finding I'm bending my neck to look at the bottom of the screen. I want my eye level at the middle of the monitors.

I need to borrow someones uTron... Just can't throw that sort of money down without trying first.

This is the problem. Having said that, I think that at that price, I'd make myself like it.

So far, I was oblivious to that uTron. But damn, that thing is expensive. And as usual, the Japanese get all the goodies.

I can just reiterate that I tried webwit's and I did not like it very much They're basically doing column layout but with staggered keys and you have to angle the keyboard...what's up with that? Also the keys are very small. I'm not sure if that just takes some getting used to or if it is simply made for people with smaller hands. The tenting is not adjustable either.
These issues are minor of course and I am pretty sure that it is better than regular keyboards but I'd rather go with a Kinesis or Ergodox.

If I don't have proper elbow support, the Kinesis feels nicer, but I find my palms get all sweaty then...

I have large hands, but don't have sausage fingers (i.e. the keys are the right size for my fingers).
I really like the placement of Tab and Enter, as well as the thumb key placement. Also using Shift with your thumbs really lightens the load on your pinkies.
If I don't have proper elbow support, I usually have all the tilt options off as I dislike keyboard tilt at a normal desk, or when using a standing desk.

Regardless, there is a learning curve to the keyboard, and it grows on you (and eventually feels more comfortable than other keyboards).

I fluctuate from not wanting to a uTron to really wanting one. Right now - since seeing the recent pictures that you and webwit have posted online - I really want one.

how tidy is my room

bingo
still want the caps?
P.S. Have you recieved the switches?

Oh, right, that was you. yes I got the switches.

Yup, still looking, but it seems ducky will release PBT ISO in several varieties soon.

tinlong117: nice view! Can you see nothing but trees all the way round?

nope, i can see the flat next to me and bunch of buildings... i will show you the pic tomorrow, it is too late to take one now.

My new and temporary desk, €45 - that is cheap.

I have also layed my hands on a Filco board, equipped with cherry ds, some random niqmods, a panic key (dunno why) and ducky pbt caps above arrow keys.

I have a german qwertz set on, and I cannot stand the lettering on those caps, will probably buy a us asni set when someone have it for sale and combine the two for maximum satisfaction.

this computer can be power with a 400-450w unit

Of course but this was the best PSU I could get for the money and I wanted some overhead in case I decide to upgrade the CPU and GFX later...

Half saint:
How much for your system and you know? The case is so beautiful

I'm sorry but how much what? How much did it cost me?

You should be able to order the case from Germany for less than 100€. It's a Fractal Design Arc.
