What does your desk look like?

A switch as a desk stand. Interesting.

My real question for @larsen161... What is the chair on the other side of the desk for? No one will be able to see you through the monitors!

LOL that is another desk.
That open air thing seems to be all the rage in younger tech companies.
that and everyone wearing headphones so they don't hear the other people around them.... -

I managed to get a window seat when we expanded into the south wing of our floor.
I want 4 monitors now -

It's the SG 200-26 model - no sound at all, super quiet. My Mac Pro's fan is louder at times. I did have a new 2960X on the desk at one point when configuring it and it got a few comments on it's noise.

No way I'd get any work done like that.

i agreed - give me a cube with walls, etc.

@Dashrender @Jason @scottalanmiller it's not a very crowded/busy side to our office. only about half the desks you see ever have someone in them and it's finance, bi teams who all work very quietly. it's the visits from the other side of the office we have to contend with and no cubical would prevent someone walking up to you as a distraction.

Our company gives us a $75 gift card to an online store that sells business attire with our logo. So instead of giving us shirts they allow us to choose from different styles.
So cool! I have one shirt with our company logo on it and I constantly get asked by the other employees on how can they get one.

It really is a great idea.

Just found this one. Taken in 2008, nearly a decade ago. This was my home office setup when I lived at Eleven80 in downtown Newark.
This was taken in March of that year, so about six months before we bought our house in New York and my first child was born. This is back when Spiceworks was just starting and had not really become a full fledged IT community yet. But the super amazing part is that the desktop device driving those monitors that you can make out behind them.... is the same desktop that I use still!

Also of interest, this is my networking gear setup at the same apartment in 2008. You can see my Netgear ProSafe firewall, Apple Airport Extreme and the white and silver toaster in the back is the infamous Netgear SC101 SAN. It's a real SAN, not a unified NAS and SAN device that does everything, this is a $99 nothing but SAN. It's SAN in every way, no shortcuts, no pretending. Totally useless, absolute garbage but I love it because it is as simple as a SAN can be while meeting not only every technical qualification for being a SAN (technically even USB external drives are SANs) but also every conventional requirement (connects solely over a standard network protocol.)
Also a Cisco (rebranded Sipura even a decade ago) ATA for my home VoIP system.

This coffee mug is epic. This came with the house. My wife brought me coffee in this this morning.

Your American keyboard seems to be missing some keys buddy.
