The Ultimate Desk... Sort Of

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the are-you-getting-enough-oxygen dept.

Hanzo writes "So, you need a desk. With mood lighting. And a pop-up LCD monitor. It even just so happens you like Space Ghost. Well, for a mere $39,995(USD), you can have exactly what you need. ?" They still aren't selling powerbands or insect musicians, but I figure it's only a matter of time now.

      You know, I tried time and again to find the "ultimate desk" and every one I could find, this one and the others from PoeticTech, and the harder and the more I try, the more I'm convinced that the ultimate desk is a big wooden plank at desk level that I can put all my stuff on. My computer(s), my computer screen(s), my TV, my clock radio, my stereo system, my phone, my action figures, but, more importantly, my junk.

      It seems that no desk out there leaves me room for just a few cubic feet of crap. Open manuals lying on their faces, takeout food wrappings, books, piles of paper...

      Of course a real desk with good quality wood is better than just a plank, but those ultra-ergonomic moving thingamajig desks would never work with me.

      The ultimate desk is, in my humble opinion, the Middle Atlantic Edit Center line of desks. If you want a huge amount of stable desktop space, they're ideal. (and have nifty options, some of which involve 19" racks)

    AHHH! On their own product they got the colors wrong (on the bed, for starters)! From left to right, its pink, blue, green (Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup).

    And the Space Ghost Desk is the wrong color, and the LCD is supposed to drop DOWN from above, not pop up! What cheesiness for such exorbitant prices!

    From the description- The gracefully curved desk is constructed with a brushed aluminum body

    Try and actually follow the link first, at least if you're going to attempt to be witty :P

    I've actually seen the bed colors vary from episode to episode.

    It is too sad I know this...

    I believe you are referring to America and not Bread.

    Bread is known for such luninous tracks as...

    • If
    • Guitar Man
    • Make It With You
    • Let Your Love Go

    Pity me not for knowing this, but for actually having CDs from both groups on my shelf.
