But truth be told you shouldve got 74 inch and two cabinets
Ha, I looked at those too. That whole setup would have been like $350 though. At that point I could probably just start looking at real desks.

It is a real desk! It's the best desk I've ever used at least.

I was lucky to score a desk from my parents. They just said to come and pick it up if you want it or else they are gonna find someone else to give it to one day. Solid darker honey oak constructed bottom, including oak dovetail drawers, Six drawers, 3 on each side plus a big thin drawer in the middle. The roughly 65"x38"x2" top is sandwiched ply covered with dark wood grain formica which is great for a desk because it cleans so easy plus it does not stain. I would peg it at 1970s for age. They just dont make shit like this anymore and if they do it would be like a grand if not more.
Honestly though I would chek your local Costco for a desk if in the market. I mentioned it here before but I picked up one for my kid for about $250 and its solid wood also, but there are some parts of it that are press board covered in wood veneer, like the side and rear aprons, but at least the legs, leg supports, and top are solid wood. I think it was called a "writing desk".

I looked around at a couple of local consignment shops looking for a solid wood old desk, but unfortunately couldn’t find any. I’d seen some really nice ones there in the past but didn’t jump on them. Was hoping to get something like that (I generally try to avoid cheap stuff.)
Also I may move up to the Sac area from the Bay sometime this year and I didn’t want to go too nuts.

I tried to find replacement fans without LEDS but the ones with LEDs were cheaper. So I bought them lol.

The box is down by my feet and facing away from me so its hard to notice.
I've had my desk for 7 years now. It's a desk taken from one of the computer labs or engineering schools at UT Austin. Super big, sturdy and convenient. Cost me $35. The superior desk!
Essentially its this:
Series A Collection | 60W Desk | Slate | WC8460A
The Bush Furniture 60W Desk in Slate from the Series A collection
www.bushbusinessfurniture.com
The one I have is just twice the size and has curved edge so its nice on the wrists. Do recommend.

Ha, Dell just called about my price guarantee. They’re giving me the $250, which is the correct number. Darn, Ajay couldn’t get me the $600 after all, but that’s okay.

Yeah, I wasn’t too hopeful that was actually going to make it through, but it was wishful thinking.

Can you ask Ajay to tell his buddy Gian L from Staples support to stop fucking replying with boilerplate KB articles before I lose my shit.

Got it in and set up. Now to download a bunch of stuff / updates drivers / etc.
Gotta say that 34" screen is a lot to take in when you're maximized on Chrome. Will probably learn to stop habitually maximizing things.
