- blimpmaster, on 10/12/2007, -2/+120Now the pegboard looks cluttered.
- tidu, on 10/12/2007, -16/+109Seriously, does anyone keep their power strip on their desk? Most of that stuff just sits on the floor.
- d0odx, on 10/12/2007, -4/+94I wonder what the effects of having your wireless router right next to your nut sac might cause down the line?

- rewen, on 10/12/2007, -8/+83Can anyone say testicular cancer?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+71Getting rid of the CRT should have been step one.
- rarkai, on 10/12/2007, -3/+68Step one is "Cut a hole in a box"
- vmardian, on 10/12/2007, -2/+66Why would you assume that I had the power bar on the desk? I moved the power bar from the floor to the pegboard for the same reasons that I moved all the devices: to declutter. Also, if I ever have to add/remove/upgrade a device, it helps that I can remove the pegboard in one piece without having to disconnect everything. It's all self-contained.
- uncleLeo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+61but then where would i take my naps?
- dj_sea2005, on 10/12/2007, -2/+58Either that or you would get aroused whenever there is a wi-fi network in the area.

- tidu, on 10/12/2007, -4/+35What's that? A time bomb? Everyone under the desk! This place is gonna blow!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+32Make sure you set your alarm, George.
- Chazzer3, on 10/12/2007, -10/+36Unfortunately I quite like pressing my knees/legs up against the underside of my desk, so this would be out of the question!!! However, it is a very interesting and valuable idea, dugg.
Charlie - - sych0, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26Ouch, watch out for those wire prongs. You'll poke your eye out!
There must be something better than wrapping your devices in wire - vulcanius, on 10/12/2007, -5/+28.... fire hazard?
- tendonut, on 10/12/2007, -3/+25Step 3: Make her open the box
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21Someone I new in college had their house burn down. The cause was clothes draped over a wireless router. It was a Linksys WRT54G.
- vmardian, on 10/12/2007, -1/+201. Desk or floor. It's still clutter.
2. I use a laptop.
3. Haven't yet, but point taken. I could have used something else.
4. I've been self employed for seven years. - haooken, on 10/12/2007, -4/+21Maybe he's Winixtosh.
/Behold the power of the Three... - vmardian, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18Ikea. It's called "Jerker". EXTREMELY sturdy. The drawers are optional.
- djAnakin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16Brilliant.
I think this will work perfect for my desk that I built.

http://www.daveheinzel.com/photos/?year=2005&gallery=25&pic=489 - thecosas, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15considering all those devices formerly just sat above his lap, separated from him only by wood/metal, I have a feeling the amount of radiation compared to what it formerly was is not going to make a whole lot of difference.
- kungfoofairy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Start with your external floppy drive.
- Hindu_Wardrobe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11*****, I'd be afraid of knocking some of that ***** down with my seemingly uncontrollable feet.
But then again, I doubt many people have a broken monitor and a rarely used computer under their desk with their only real purpose being footrests.
Old computers ftw! - CRasH180, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10That is a very nice looking desk. Congratulations on building it yourself. It must have felt great completing a project such as building your own desk and making it look that good.
- VSack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I've been doing something very similar for years.
A little trick I learned in my days of doing car modifications was this crap called "Scotch Exterior Mounting Tape"
Its not foam based, so it doesn't dry out and get all crappy.
It is EXTREMELY strong
It bounds to many different surfaces.
If I want something that is going to be stuck in a place permanently, this is the crap I use. I've got a 7 port USB hub stuck under my desk, WAPs mounted without having to drill, and a plethora of other stupid uses. This crap is always useful.
Here's an Amazon link from Google. I hope its not affiliate tracked:

The joke was funny enough at step one -- But if you're going to be one of those people who like to keep pushing a joke once it's over, at least get the quote right.
Maybe it's just me, but does seeing misquotes either from songs or movies piss anyone else off? - uberlord, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12What I would do is just get a keyboard tray, I always push my knees against that, and if you got one you would still be able to de-clutter your desk!
Assuming that was your only reason for not wanting a peg board hanging from the bottom of your desk with $2,000 of equipment... - CRasH180, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11@sych0: You could also use the industrial strength Velcro to secure it to the bottom of the desk and attach the other piece to the device. Or uses two O rings part of the safety hasps and use Velcro straps to secure it underneath for the cables. That way you could either slap the drive onto the Velcro and hook up the cables. Or you use the Velcro straps to secure it to the safety hasps.
- bobabadabouskie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I think I will superglue giant magnets to all my stuff so I can stick'em to my metal desk.
- el_taco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9you'd be suprised.. I used to use old full towers as chairs
- Torx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Not very smart, this is much like mounting an auto amplifier upside down which is a no-no. Heat is supposed to be dissipated up, these devices are dissipating their heat right back into themselves.
I really wouldnt recommend this. - uberlord, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Seeing all the comments about balls has made me wonder how many woman use Digg... can't be that many...
- ShootDawg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8yeah, no one wants an organized wiring closet or network room...
- livestradamus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8mirror nazis
- kfconme, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9my desktop is made of glass ;l
- tendonut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I am using a plastic container from a Kraft Food giveaway contest my dad won years ago at work. I think there are still some Triscuits in there...
/kicks it
and dead mice - eqrunner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Just use thin zip ties (or wireties) Those little strips of plastic that you put though the eye of it's self and it ratchets tight and doesn't let go.. Plus if you ever need to remove something or replace something, just cut it with wire cutters and do it again. The wire idea may help in getting things set where you want it, then zip tie it all down
You can uses twist ties on the wires incase you ever need to shift stuff around - Hindu_Wardrobe, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11I'm female... but I'm actually amused by manly jokes about balls.
- drunkenirish, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Something to take into account: I used to do this with my external HD and I found that after so many hours of having it plugged in, it would get really REALLY hot.
After about 2 months of it being mounted under my desk (average on time of 5 hours a day), the drive just failed. Make sure you have the area well ventilated! - vmardian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Jerker is the product line. This is the "Jerker Desk". You are describing the "Jerker Computer table".
- ddn3d, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11And being sterile from the heat on your balls is free!
- ZPWeeks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7You're gonna start with that external hard drive, right?
edit: crap, serves me right for not refreshing me a page for 20 minutes.... kungfoofairy beat me to it - tidu, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9It's okay, nothing too valuable under there.... errm
nevermind. - vmardian, on 10/12/2007, -6/+13My mirror: http://67.18.248.210/van/
- BxBoy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8definitely replace that CRT with an LCD..
- brilliantshadow, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8The first thing I thought when I looked at the pics was: Hmm that guy has the same DVD burner as me.
The second thing I thought was: Hmm that desk sure looks familiar... except I opted for the black one, since it's fake wood anyway.
Maybe I'll copy the setup.. pretty sweet. - wjw75, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8You'd think after all that trouble he might have bought a wireless mouse
