What do your work benches look like?

Do you have tft mounted on the walls and are all your cables neat and tidy or is it like a bomb has hit it.

I will post mine up tomorrow.

TFT's on the wall yes, stainless steel tables, customer computers go below on bottom shelf of table.

We use these for laptop repair in between desktop repair stations, they work great, we stand up to repair laptops.

Compact but efficient. Server on KVM under the bench. Keyboard pull out tray. Umbilcal cables connect to the patient. Retractable power, Cat5e, USB ect keep things neat.

meClaudius - do you fly planes, helis or both? Nope, the transmitters didn't slip by me in the pic! 8-)

Oh yeah - the work area looks good too, wall storage is great.

Good spot. Heli's. TREX 450, I have some park flyer planes too, funky wing design's. Those are my trainer/simulator transmitters. Heli's is too expensive to learn without simulators.

yeah its a total mess! LOL I actually had to stop building to get back to work so its only about 50% done, till I can get the rest of the insulation and drywall up then I can build the real benches LOL
the back wall consists of a vertical file cabinet and shelves for computers, oh and the door LOL.
the screens are just cheepies I picked up referb from microcenter for about $40 and just using a vga switcher, I hate KVMs they tend to be too glitchy, at least the ones I've tried, and I prefer to have a keyboard and mouse for each unit I'm working on.

I have become a real fan of using shelf units for workbenches. They are completely customizable, cheap, and durable. I got a 2'x4' piece of pegboard mounted to the back for my CD's and tools. Got my monitors with their wall mount to fit on the shelf railings. Also got a 2'x4' piece of plexiglass for the countertop from a glass shop in town. I could not ask for more.
