Best Home Workstation Contest
I know that a lot of us aspiring entrepenuers work from home a lot, so we all have our own little spaces that inspire us to work better. Inspired by one of my favorite MacNN Forum topics, I would like to start a contest for the Best Home Work Station. Here’s what you got to do:
- Take a Real Good Picture of your Home Workstation
- Write a Post on your blog (at least 100 words) about your workstation and include the Picture
- Within the content, link back to this post using the anchor text – “Work From Home” and also link back to http://www.MrGaryLee.com
- Email Me with a link to your post to enter the contest
Here is an example post:
Gary Lee has started a contest at his blog to see who has the best work station at their home. I mainly work from home, so I have a multiple monitor setup with enough deskspace for my Logitech Keyboard and Mouse and my very chic Ikea Lamp. I went with an all white theme to match the iMac and I got the desk from ikea.

The winner will win this Motorola HT820 Bluetooth Stereo Headset which I received to review from a now defunct gadget site. It works great, has outstanding battery life and pretty much syncs up with any phone out there.
Qualified entries will get a link back to their post including a thumbnail of their workstation to thank you for your efforts! This contest will run for 2 months or until I get a good number of entries.

That’s very generous of you! Too bad my work station is nothing too special though…
Gary Lee 4.46 pm on 27.03.2007 Permalink
hey jon . . you got a couple of months to make it look good! I’m sure you could come up with something!
Jon Lee 3.13 am on 28.03.2007 Permalink
I’ll take a picture of what I have regardless and send it in anyway

Can non-Mac users apply
My home office is in purgatory right now though, not sure if my “office” office will apply…

Hey, got my entry in as well. Will you be posting occasional updates with pics to the entries so far? Curious to see what other people are running
Gary Lee 12.22 am on 29.03.2007 Permalink
most likely i’ll be posting an update as batches of 10 come in . . . at the current rate, that seems to be pretty soon! Thanks for entering the contest

Is this contest still running! I will really need to clean-up my workstation before I enter.

Ignore my last comment, wasn’t paying attention to the 2 month running note.

This is a great idea Gary!
Unfortunately, I already posted about something similar a while ago when I discovered a blog that features the workstations of people who submit them. They are posted like this with a short description that you provide.

Woh! Just found this! Can i just post a work “AREA” shot or does it have to be only my main PC? The problem I have is that I skip between two or three computers and they are more or less used equally.
Gary Lee 2.06 pm on 02.04.2007 Permalink
you can get one picture per website, so go for it!
Shawn Knight 2.08 pm on 02.04.2007 Permalink
Ah well in that case, I guess ill be entering my “test system” in the contest too. Main rig = blog, test rig = OCIA.net heh
BTW, will I need to resubmit a full entry, or can I just do a quick entry since I have already “entered” before?
Gary Lee 2.10 pm on 02.04.2007 Permalink
a full entry would definitely be appreciated and would be the honorable thing to do . . . .

As my boss took posession of my work space meanwhile I unfortunately can’t enter the contest. Right now my work space is somewhere between living room, balcony and nursery. At least there is a photo of my boss taking over my former office chair at http://www.vi-su.de/wer-hat-den-besten-boss/2007/05/31/
