I like that Dell monitor (the hole in the pivot for cables), Dell makes good hardware lately.

That's an old pic though, I haven't gotten round to taking one of my current table (the GALANT), since my camera never worked quite the same after I lent it to a friend... the new layout is much the same, but with the laptop shifted to a slightly different position.
The cables are still a little too messy for my taste, one of these days I will go buy some spiral cable wrap and wrap it all up. I might sleeve some of the cables while I'm at it, if I'm so inclined; the das keyboard is definitely worth sleeving ^^
Dell may be known for making crappy low and middle-end consumer PCs, but their monitors are quite a different story. Their high-end monitors are gold; I got that Ultrasharp relatively cheap (at the time), and while it still costs about twice of what an ultra-cheap 24" TN panel would cost, it is definitely value for money (just too bad about lack of software support for wide-gamut monitors though). Doesn't hurt that Dell's put just about every kind of video connector on their Ultrasharp line: DVI, VGA, HDMI, DisplayPort, Component Video (RGB connectors), Composite Video (yellow connector). Not that I'm going to use them all, but future-proofing in the form of DisplayPort never hurts :)
Actually, that is the “old” Ultrasharp (2408WFP); Dell has a new Ultrasharp now, a 24" IPS (U2410). Mine's in school now, can't wait to finish my last semester in school and bring it home alongside the current Ultrasharp :D
fohfoh:
Yeah, 3 side by side is stupid. Though I can understand one above. Personally I'd rather have a TV above than a computer screen especially since it's further away...
Though linux's cube make it easy to have 2 screens swap on a single monitor.
* fohfoh lurves that cube.

IKEA Galant ftw.
It's like the lego version of desks. You just add parts as you like.
Atm have this combination http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S19807470 I initially bought a smaller combination and added the right side extension later.
Note the A-legs, they will save you 30$ over the T-legs Jarudin has and are easier to vacum clean around to boot.
As for how much weight it can support I have both sat and stood (putting up a bookcase) upon it with no problems and I weight 120kg.

THANK YOU! I've been looking for a desk pretty much exactly like that, and apparently I live really close to an IKEA so i'l be paying them a visit soon. (:
Jarudin:
I bought the T-legs because you will only have one vertical pole in the middle of the table, instead of two at the edges. A matter of taste I guess :)
And you have exactly the same desk as me, mine is positioned differently though so I can make better use of the 80cm-depth part (imo). If you turned your desk 90-degrees clockwise you'd have the same effect.
