Auctions may be a good bet. Lots of offices closing a lately.

How big's your room? - I have a man cave, rather spacious and full of man things - triple monitors are a must in a man cave

Ordered all my stuff from this lot http://www.ukofficedirect.co.uk

Found the quality of their equipment to be top notch. Their courier did damage a filing cabint in transit to me, after a quick phone call a new one was shipped immediately before the damaged one had been collected.

Not cheap, but there are a lot of discounted items on their site.

Just a word of advice, I spend just over £2K kitting out my home office with cupboards, bookcases, storage units and desks. You could count the number of hours I have spent in there in the past two years on two hands. I find I sit in the lounge and surf the web from my laptop.

Only about 10ft by 8ft. What the hell are you running in that pic? Looks like the bridge of a Starship
