Job well done my friend, it looks nearly identical to mine which is store bought. I just upgraded from a mid to a full tower and need mine to be a little taller. I just bought a new house and will be building myself one this summer. As for the dude with the $80 desk...... It seems a bit poorly designed. A corner desk with the keyboard tray on the side. You'll be gettin neck cramps havin your head turned while typing, lol. But it is a good looking desk also.

Funny thing about the chair in the pictures, I bought that one last year when I redid my computer and room. I ended up trading it to my dad for his old one which is lower, since the one I bought was to high up and I couldn't put my legs under the desk.
Pix of the new chair!

hopin to get the thing done today, the base on the stand was a beast to get balanced and working correctly. (its not installed yet, but nearly finished, Ill try and post pics tonight of just the monitors, and maybe the base as well, but I am trying to study for finals today as well) hopefully back with pics later!

yet more pictures
the Monitor stand LEFT OVER parts, after I got what I needed out of it, (which basically consisted of the vesa mounts and the arms)
what its supposed to look like according to the instructions
what I took off of it
the ergotron, that I want, but am trying to get by with only spending the $40 on this setup, instead of $200 on.
let me know what you guys think...thanks!
