If I were to swivvle the view would be a bit like the shot below, as apoosed to looking directly at a wood! http://elpassoblog.com/free_wallpapers/pst800600.jpg @ Allen - Don't worry, there's no danger of me hoovering anything, the dust has to become thick enough to walk through before a hoover is allowed to enter ;-) The problem with the speaker sub-woofer thing is that it has to be in the middle for my surround sound (I'm a bit of a music fan) and there isn't really any other room for it because it's so big and clunky! If I decide to turn the desk around I can probably find a new home for it. @ Pat – Coffe in the morning, Tea in the afternoon ;-)

More room to do more! Just wanted to say, don't let anyone vacuum anytime your PC is turned on. It'll suck in all kinds of dust and carpet particles and screw it up! Personally, I'd move the speaker or whatever it is out from under the desk so I'd have room to strecth my legs while sitting there. Just a suggestion, but damn, I'm envious! Now I'm gonna be looking at new desks at the computer stores. THANKS A LOT! Allen Dan, love the new look! More room to do more!

Suggestion.......Turn the desk 180 degrees to the left....Put the old computer unit on the right of the desk then place the printer on top of it. Finally fill that cup with whatever is your tipple and have the added advantage of sitting back and enjoy the benefit of TWO great window views!! Providing that view is not the cow shed!! Mind you as an ex farmer myself I would find a view like that quite useful. Best wishes Chris Hi Dan

Your old desk looks much like my current one, except mine is far more cluttered. But one day, when I'm as successful as you are....... well, I have to dream, don't I? Hi Dan
