9 Ways to Geek Your Office

The Folderix flash drive ($42.31)

2

Designed to look like a folder icon, offers 4GB of memory and has a read speed of 14 MB/sec and write speed of 2.5 MB/sec. Oh, and it comes in three colors, if manila just isn’t “you”. http://www.artlebedev.com/everything/folderix/


Optimus Maximus ($1692.31)

3

In full configuration, this keyboard has a screen in each key that displays the function currently assigned to it. The customizable layout allows convenient use of any language-Cyrillic languages, Ancient Greek, Arabic, etc.-as well as of any other character sets: notes, numerals, special symbols, HTML codes and math functions.http://store.artlebedev.com/computer_add-ons/optimus/

Steelcase Walkstation ($4,499)

4

Billed as the world’s first “truly mobile office”, the Walkstation allows you to work out while you work. Did you know you could lose 57 pounds in a year if you did nothing else but walk at 1-2 miles per hour while working on your computer?http://store.steelcase.com/go/products/detail/a7t/?utm_source=steelcase.com&utm_campaign=steelcase.com-products&utm_content=walkstation


Custom Star Wars Desk (price n/a)

5

Sometimes you wish you could freeze your entire IT department in carbonite, but thanks to this desk, built by Tom Spina Designs, you’ll be able to resist the urge. Hopefully.


Falcon Northwest Mach V (from $2,500)

6

Custom PC builder Falcon Northwest offers a variety of airbrushed casings, including “Tru-Fire”, a style of airbrushing that produces richly detailed flames. That’s hot.


Logitech VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse ($49.00)

7

Boasting the world’s smallest USB receiver and laser precision, this mouse can really roar. Logitech managed to reduce the size of the device while still keeping all the buttons that enable “hyper-fast scrolling” and other niceties.


Motoart B-52 Ejection Chair (price available upon request)

8

Next time you’re ready to escape from the last meeting on Friday, picture yourself in this desk chair replicating the style of ejection seats found on both decks of the B-52 bomber. Designed with sporty red upholstery, detailed painted handles and powder-coated metal base with heavy-duty casters.


IKEA Textur Lamp ($29.99)

9

Well we had to have something from Ikea, right? Simple, affordable and trendy, the Textur offers a dimmer function and is available in orange, a multicolor stripe pattern and a flower print, if you like that better.
