The Ideal Computer Desk

Loved my Jerker desk since 2000. Oldschool Jerker in dark wood and black metal, the version with the 2 slide out trays. The good thing about the trays is that you can slide them out to create more desk space around you. There’s something oddly geeky satisfying having 2 monitors on the riser, a laptop on your left tray and a C++ bible on the right tray.

Though I’m a communication major these days, I was a compsci before I switched. People never realise this until they see the Jerker, filled out with computer gear as the center holy shrine of my room - two monitors, 2 cases, laptop, BW laserjet, colour inkjet, digicam, DVcam, etc etc. The damn thing holds every electronic item I own without a problem. Everything important in the room is reachable from my leather director’s chair at the Jerker, with the exception of my Nespresso machine (safety precaution: no apparatus that involves water near the computers).

I love this desk. It’s absolute hell to move. But I love this desk. My sis has the new style Jerker, light wood and grey metal. But it sucks. And it’s also absolute hell to move :slight_smile:
