mrbios Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Nothing, you've already been given too much /jealous
Arcath Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 48 Network points for the office, you would be surprised how much kit you can get done with enough points! +1 for that, we have switches in between the desks (yfrog Photo : http://yfrog.com/nu33mroj Shared by ArcathWhitefall) which means 24 ports between 2 people (+1 Gigabit port per person). The switches are also vlanned so we can run test domains independantly without impacting the network. There is also a PDU further down the desk so we don't have to root around for plugs.
K.C.Leblanc Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Nothing, you've already been given too much /jealous Get back in your cupboard.
zag Posted October 11, 2011 Author Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) Cool I like the idea of attaching the Switch vertical between the desks! P.S. loving the 70s style ski challet walls in your office haha Need Moar screens #iworkinit Edited October 11, 2011 by zag
mrbios Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Get back in your cupboard. I like to think of it more as a "cess pit of pain and hate" than a cupboard, but i'll go with your word if you like

Sirbendy Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 My Desk is large enough for (and actually houses) 4 workstations (Mine, test, spare and CCTV/DVD matrix controller/router) and 17" TFTs, antistatic matted, 2 shelving units, cable managed, 16 240v sockets and 10 LAN points (PoE and non-PoE). I then have a repair bay with an identical desk in. Ruddy expensive desks by all accounts, but they were specced and fitted for us as part of this build, heh. Tamba door storage units for hiding clutter are good. NM has a standard desk, with a PC, laptop stand etc, "in floor" sockets, and a 56" plasma on his wall, with the CCTV joystick console on the desk. Plasma connects to CCTV matrix, digital signage system, broadcast system, laptop, Sky and Freeview. Always makes people go "ooh..."..heh.

glennda Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 When I moved offices this summer - I had 40 power sockets and 24 data sockets put in!
Earthling Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I really, really, sincerely hope that whoever suggested 'Motivational Posters' was having a laugh. Otherwise, I'm going to have to seriously reconsider my membership. These are some of the things above my desk: xkcd: Flow Charts xkcd: Tech Support Cheat Sheet xkcd: Online Communities

IanT Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Only one problem with that picture, i see netgear boxes in the back ground!.............
Sirbendy Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Sky in school?!!! Indeedy. All tied into the matrix system so we can link up any room projector/sound system to a particular feed, on request. Rooms can have Sky, freeview, VHS Video (yes, we kept one), 6 DVD players for DVD requests, digital signage feed, or a direct feed from the school theatre for broadcasts. I often get asked to send Tennis etc to rooms in the appropriate season. 1
Pyroman Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Only one problem with that picture, i see netgear boxes in the back ground!............. Never had a problem with netgear stuff, ran my whole network (80 machines) on netgear unmanaged switches

glennda Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Never had a problem with netgear stuff, ran my whole network (80 machines) on netgear unmanaged switches Its ok for smallish networks like that - when you try and take it out into the real world they are a pita - i've got 1 left which will be replaced next year!
zag Posted October 17, 2011 Author Posted October 17, 2011 Netgear make awesome switches. We use the GS724Ts all around school and they are great

Oaktech Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Oh, and you need a trap door in the floor to a pit of snakes into which you must drop users who arrive with: "i don't know where documents went, no of course i didn't delete them" or the "I was working on and it just stopped working, no i didn't unplug it" stories.
john Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Only one problem with that picture, i see netgear boxes in the back ground!............. Netgear are good to a point and for a particular set of features. My primarys will all be fine on Netgear, however we have outgrown them and the kit and will be installing a lovely new Juniper Network over the Half Term with the team at Net Ctrl Anyway for the new office, coffee machine, mini fridge, a good setup for repairing machines, if / when my office expands into the one next door I am changing how the working bench is setup so you can stand at it and work better. You also want lots of parts bins for bits and bobs can never have enough.
Soulfish Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 That's awesome! What system is that then? It's a very expensive video/audio matrix system made by TV Over CAT5,VGA Over CAT5,Hospital Television,Hotel Television,Digital Signage. We opted to use a Clickview Live system to give us the same sort of functionality but over the standard network which works out a bit cheaper. And we already have the pre-existing infrastructure to support the Scion system (our building was built with it in mind).
