My name is Andy and i’m a IT-sec student from Germany. I had posted my old desk a few weeks back but quickly noticed that it was way to small for me and upgraded to this one. I combined some Ikea Expedits with a Tabletop to get a huge desk with enough space for all my stuff. Also went from dark brown to white, mainly because the dark brown picked up scratches unbelievably fast [Updated on 03/17/2011]

Wow.. Very very beatiful!
Thanks
Hey Andy,
Absolutely terrific idea to use expedits as legs!
Is the height okay for sitting comfortably?
Your floor rocks,too!
I am also an IT-Sec student from germany, btw!

Hight works out perfect for me (i’m 1,86). The floor is new and I’m so glad went for the dark wood (Nußbaum dunkel), it really makes the whole place more cozy.

I really love your set up. It gives me idea on how I’m going to plan mine at my new house that I’m going to move next year. I also want it to face window just like yours…but in my case, I have more windows…
Is the IKEA table 5 or 6 feet?
the tabletop itself is a bit over 60 inches (5 ft.), in combination with the two expedit “legs” the whole desk is 90.6 inches (7.5 ft.) wide.
Love your acer screen! can you teach me how to plug it in to use a dual monitor with your macbook air?
thanks
and does the acer screen switch off if you close the macbook air lid?
thanks
I’m looking to re-create your exact same setup, can you tell me how everything is connected? Thanks!
