In case you were curious on “What I’m working with” behind the scenes of ButYoureAGirl, AskAdria and Freshworkshops, here’s a view of my desktop from a few weeks ago. The two monitors connected to my Dell are the Samsung 23″ 2333SW model.  My 3rd 23″ Samsung, a P2370HD which is also a HDTV, just arrived back from an RMA with Buy.com so I will take some new photos soon.

I have all 3 monitors on desktop stands which allow me to pivot them 360 from Ergotron

I blogged about both my systems late last year:

• Dell XPS 8000 running Windows 7
• 13″ Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard

My desk is from IKEA and it’s called the Jerker (haha, now discontinued). I scored 2 of these desks on Cragslist in early 2009 after reading about them on Lifehacker.  Lifehacker featured the IKEA Jerker again in September, 2009.

Ok, @tilly85 on Twitter wants to know about the chair I use!  It’s the IKEA KLAPPE chair.  It has a 5 point system for the feet and is intended for people who spend long periods of time in front of desks (that’s me!).  I lucked out getting this chair because it’s normally $300.  I went to IKEA several times, drooling over the chair.  Finally I was ready to buy it and found one in the “As Is” section of IKEA for half the price!!!!

I have a microphone on my desk I use with Skype for VOIP calls plus a wireless usb headset.

I have a Belkin power strip mounted on the underside of my desk (Thanks again to Lifehacker for the idea) and a landline from Comcast near my mouse.

I sync my iPhone with my Dell desktop.

I do backups to an external Western Digital hard drive and also to Mozy for redundancy.

That’s all for now!
