Check out my wall mounted office

Even though I love using my HP Mini 1000 to blog on the go and my Tablet works out well at home, I’ve longed for a nice widescreen monitor and full size keyboard. Since we live in a small one bedroom apartment, adding a desk to our dining room/library/reading room was out of the question and so was setting up shop in full force on the dining room table.

Rather than purchase an Anthro eNook or an Ikea knock off I decided to turn our kitchen table into an office that had a zero footprint when we wanted to have people over for dinner and thus the “Wall Mounted Office” was born.

I purchased a wall mount from Telehook Articulating Mount for $45 from ProVantage (which ships extremely fast) a 19 inch widescreen Acer monitor and a Microsoft keyboard and mouse for a total cost of under $200 excluding the laptop I already had.

    It’s official, you are a Super Computer Freak, but in the coolest sense of the word!

  2. Awesome build! But, the thing that would make this an EPIC build, is if you used a Mac with Twhirl instead of TweetDeck. ;D

    It is lacking a certain Mac’ness but I gotta work with what I have. If you know of anyone giving away a mini I’ll gladly convert ;-)
