# I keep meaning to add another monitor onto mine
but I would have to see if it's still working and worth having 2 monitors.
(I helped save b3ta! maiden is filmed before a live studio audience, Sun 15 Mar 2009, 17:35, archived)
# I would not be without 2 monitors.
I play games on my big Toshiba and I have a 28" LCD on the other comp but for the one I sit at most ( this ) I have 2 trusty old CRT monitors as you can't buy an LCD that gives you anything like the same clarity.
Having that extra workspace is invaluable for working with photoshop on one and having a browser on the other so you can quickly source images, read b3ta etc without leaving photoshop.

(I helped save b3ta! enceladus, Sun 15 Mar 2009, 17:20, archived)
# ah hers is
a computer desk reproduction, but as far as I can recall it looks identical to that.

replacing that centre drawer so that the face is hinged and putting a slide shelf inside would be a piece of cake, but maybe not fair to the furniture.

# It depends.
A good carpenter ( cabinet maker ) could do it sympathetically so that it would look identical and as long as the draw joints were not cut it could be put back to the original in no time.

# It needs restoring
anyway - the leather on top is very faded and marked, and a couple of the drawers are stiff. It's a reproduction itself, but a rather old one...I'm pretty attached to it, mind.
