Roccaforte Computer Desk

[Bradster]

Computer Desks and the layout is a important part of the hardware for a boxer. That said I wanted to bring up the Roccaforte Computer Desk

Most people now days put their computers on a simple computer table like me! Which is not very sophisticated and does not have some cool things built in. However there are people who think that their gaming zone should be appropriate.

There is a gadget table that will fit the craziest gamer in the world. Roccaforte gamers' computer table is the ultimate desk for a gamer. This table looks like a real gaming machine and it has space for everything for anything you would like to have attached to your computer.

First of all it has space for 3 monitors, cool huh? It is very cool because you can install all three of them and have a panoramic view. Add some Monitor mounts to the mix and now your cooking.

Any gamers' accessory can be installed on this monster table gadget. It looks like a special cockpit of a racing car where you have everything you need at your hand.

IF you are a fan of some flying simulators this gadget table will certainly help you with that. It has two special places on its sides to place the controls for that.

You can install web camera, keyboard, mouse, steering wheel etc. on to this wonderful table. I believe that there is no gamer that does not dream of a table like this one. It is made black because everybody knows that black color suites the best for gaming in the dark and light.

The main issue of this table is Guess what? Right, the cost; this monster will cost you about $ 500. Problem is can you buy it and how much does it cost to ship from JAPAN! This is what's holding me back.

A table is a table...

If its not broke it doesn't need fixing...

Obviously this is just me, but looking at the above image and recalling some of the desks I put together when I worked in Staples (big stationary place), it looks over engineered to do the job. You want a good desk that has acres of room for all the peripherals, keyboards and mice a dual (or more) boxer needs then look toward a standard office desk.

Best desk I have seen, IMO:

Ikea desk (http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/60111123)
http://www.ikea.com/PIAimages/73004_PE189258_S3.jpg

It has none of the twiddly bits, it doesn't come in black, its fairly cheap (�85 not �250 (if I could buy US and not pay shipping import etc)) and its a doddle to put together... Plus it has acres of space for all your keyboards and stuff.

Now give me a chair that doesn't give me back ache then we're talking ultimate gaming accessory...

:D

I'm playing with ya. I can understand where your coming from. I do enjoy a sleek looking desk. Both boil down to one thing. If the price is right

Amen I don't care what a chair looks like. You could put 5 pounds of duct tape on it. Just so long as my back is ok.

Recently I tried using a Lazy Boy for a computer chair. Was pretty nice but sitting in something that soft for a long time really hurt my back. I was playing wow that night, feel sleep after I finished an instance. Woke up 6 hours later with pain like you wouldnt beleave. Took a week to go away.

Having used many different chairs and tables and finding which ones make my back ache and my arms go numb, I believe I can state with confidence that:

A table is not a table.

And a chair is not a chair.

Buying a $5 chair that does not even allow the height to adjust is doing yourself a vast disservice in the long run. Desks are not as critical as long as you can adjust the height or install a keyboard/mouse drop down and it holds everything up.

Hmmm...

Best work top resting device I have found so far is the one I mention in my above post... As it performs in all the areas I need from a desk. :D

Best bottom resting device I have used it one of the kneeling type things, which are exceedingly comfortable when you need to be upright at the work surface thing ;) However less comfortable when just relaxing.

Kneeling Type chairs... (http://www.backchairs-direct.co.uk/kneelers.html?gclid=CI7l6_yf5o4CFQgvlAodH10KLA)

I'm one of those nutters who simply need to rest their feet on something, so finding a good desk is rather tricky.

Lately I've just been sitting with the monitors on a table at my left side, keyboard in my lap, and legs resting in another chair in front of me. Not the best for my neck, but meh.

[unit187]

not the best for your back I'd say... thats worse...

I used a kneeling chair up until I started to get achey in the shins.

I tend to have weekend-long WoW binges. I felt like I had repeatedly kicked a wall on Monday.

It does keep the back pain away... it just eventually replaces it with shin pain.

While I get the cockpit idea, I prefer thinking control center with ample space for all the stuff needed there, plus some random stuff that I will have next to my computers.

I go crazy at these tiny computer wagons with a cute little retractable board for your keyboard with a five inch by five inch area next to it for your mouse. Argh! Gimme a big desk with ample space any day.

Best computer desk I ever had, by far, was a old $35 conference table I got at the local thrift shop. About 5 feet wide, 8 feet long and built like an ox. It had space for everything. Even two 20" CRTs back in the day.

With everybody using flat panels these days all you would have to do is get a few dual panel stands (vertical kind). Real estate to spare and it will hold 500+ pounds of whatever easy.

Just to let you know that they sell this in US also.
Price is not as bad as it was. $348 but shipping can be high.
