Wow, nice desk for being hand-built. What kind of wood and what finish did you use? You must be a reasonably talented carpenter.
That monitor is teeny, dude (no offense).
Peace,
Pete Zaria.
Give me a picture...
Birch plywood- Polyurathane spray finish. the finish takes longer than the wood work. I've been a carpenter 30 yrs.
Never thought 'bout monitor. This is my first computer!
Just got tax return will get new monitor, now that I've been enlightend!

@Cod_Fillets:
That's megabit, not megabytes per second though. 8megabit = 1 megabyte. On a good day I get 26megabit down, or 3.25 megabytes per second. However, yes, that's still damn fast for a home office.
ISP's advertise in megabits but people think its megabytes per second - very common mistake. It's kind of false advertising. Comcast's ads say "6 megabytes per second!" but its actually 6 megabit which comes out to just under 1MBps actual download speed.
http://www.speedtest.net if you want to check your actual bandwidth. It gives you the numbers in megabits/kilobits, so divide by 8 to see megabytes/kilobytes.
NewEgg.com has a 19" widescreen for under $200 with shipping: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6824009100
Can't beat it. Great screen for the money. NewEgg is a great company to buy from, too.
I didn't mean to insult your screen, lol, sorry. It just looks really small on that desk, and I commented.

Gotta love the NewEgg. Be sure to Google for NewEgg promo codes, you may just save a few bucks.
