My geek cave

Currently in my geek cave I have two desks. The one I mostly sit at usually has three computers on it, sometimes four if I am playing around on my netbook . I have a Windows 7 machine, two Macs, and my netbook runs Ubuntu Linux.

Across the room is my Wife’s old desk. Once she got a laptop she didn’t have a use for it anymore. I have two more computers over there hooked up to a KVM switch to share the keyboard, monitor, and mouse. One is my main Linux system running Ubuntu, and the other is an old junker that’s running console video game emulators. If I ever have the urge to play Super Mario Brothers, or Pitfall, that’s where I do it. I can play any Atari 2600, Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, Nintendo, or Super Nintendo game I want. All the video game systems of my youth.

In the near future I am going to upgrade my desk. I’m getting rid of the two I have and getting one big one that should house all five of these computers. I have looked around town, and haven’t found crap for computer desks, but I have found some pretty sweet ones online. I am going to switch from a corner desk to a L shaped desk with two keyboard drawers. It should give me plenty of room after I upgrade that big ass 19” CRT monitor.

I am so eager to make the upgrade, but I kind of have to wait until I make room on the garage for my old desks. The garage is a pretty sloppy mess now being winter, and having the snowblower and other crap in there.

I hope I will be able to sell my desks quickly on Craigslist. They are both high quality and in pretty good shape. I love them both, but it’s time for an upgrade. Once my new desk is in place, then I will have a whole half of room to figure out what I want to do with.
