This is @MartynMage, the guy behind Secret Santa together with the world wide Santa Database. Give this man the credit he deserves!
FP Edit, as usual, send female nudes. ;)

Is that the fabled 5" floppy that girls want.
AlexxStratten
Back before Apple's planned obsolescence.
Felman
"Lets give this man the credit he deserves" by giving me upvotes. Oh, FP edit "send nudes"
DrownedKittensInABurlapSack
Can we begin by gifting him a more modern computer?
flounderflound
Do people actually send nudes for front page posts?
Nemesis777
WOW I had that exact desk back in the day. But I had hair too
FourCatsAndSevenMemesAgo
There is an 8 inch floppy drive. I never used it, but I saw it. Also, Apple II e ftw
ilovefluids

Westdevil

No that's definitely Alan Tudyk.
TheCarolingian
Floppy diskettes? Hackers really hate this guy
whatspaulplayingtoday
Nice job, buddy. Nice job.
cyborgv1
All joking aside, the imgur secret Santa is really well done and wouldn't be what it is without his hard work behind it all.
HypnoJack
I wonder if that setup can run Crysis.
toddthewee
I have multiples of both of those disk boxes.
shorepartyup
No one on earth was able to line up those top cabinet drawers.
cyborgv1
Is that one of imgurs servers?
IamHereForTheComments
no thats a floppy disk
thebigsnax
It would explain some things
rudejohn
Imgur is over capacity! Sorry! We're busy running around with our hair on fire because Imgur is over capacity!
dogestyle
The only imgur server
FBKatB3TAdotcom

NordicusMaximus

Ok so as a kid born in 1980 and first PC in the house around 1992.. Was this the only "computer desk" available back then?
thebonemaster
I had one to back in 91
DoYouHaveYourTowel
We had the same one! But our computer wasn’t so fancy.
jujubeez168
100% had this desk too!! I remember playing the game Adventure (or something like that) on it.
skelitor120
1997, same desk.
Roqinn
I had one like it but the doors were different.
Yeastieh
Ended up taking the top portion off of ours and using a cheap door as a top for it.
drbaker
Pretty much. Born in ‘83 and had the same one. Did you use the dining room table before you got the desk? We sure did. Ah... memories.
KamiSawZe
Born in 89 and my family had a computer and desk since my first memories in 93. By then we upgraded to a slide out keyboard drawer!
love4reddit
Born in early 90s and we still had this desk until I went to college.... the only reason we got rid of it was because it fell apart!
Totallyscrewedinaustin
Yes
mmolifer
born in 1968, yes it was the only one
YouThinkThatsBad
I was born in 85, had one around 93, and we absolutely had this desk.
XnFM
Holy shit. Looking at it again, I had that one too.
LobsterBandito
God damnit. I thought you guys were being weird but my dad had the same one. The doors were also wonky like in the picture!
effigyoma
Mine didn't have the cabinets and had a darker tone, so there's at least one variation. Also, my brother is still using it.
YouNeedtoChill
1980 here and we had one almost exactly like it but no shutters on the cabinet.
karimonsterbitches
I STILL HAVE THIS DESK! It was once my father's, then my own, and I have passed it to my son.
donkeymoney
No, there was a greater variety than today, because there was craftsmanship behind it, rather than everything being mass-produced and 1/2
donkeymoney
and shipped from China.
callmethelizardqueen
Thre was a metal desk also. My friend had it, and night before Senior research paper was due his computer killed itself by arching to it.
u77171
Yes, and the doors were never aligned like this one.
PeriodQueen
My father in law still has a computer desk like this.
Jdems
Spot in! Except mine didn’t have the sweet louvers!
Jdems

thatwoodguy
I BUILT my own in 1983 as my main shop project for woodworking. It should be in my hometown someplace.
abnrml
Is it the Apple II e? AKA the frogger machine?
wyatt8740
I have the monitor for a IIe, wish I had the rest of the machine. But yes.

dachicken
Still have some games in the box it's in too :P They worked. And that 30MB uber drive attached O_O was rockin'
callmethelizardqueen
My first computer was a TRS-80 Color Computer. Not bad for a poor kid in 1985.
AngelWithAFilthySoul
Born in 78, first PC in 93, can confirm that was the the Office Depot special that we owned.
