What is your oDesk work place like?

I have my desk in a corner of the dining room and my laptop beside my desktop.  I usually do most work on the desktop, leaving the laptop to run my email etc.  If I have to work anywhere else I do it on the laptop.

I have my own office...kind of.  It's loft apartment, so everything is open, but I'm upstairs.  The bed's up here too, but the way my officespace is setup, I have dividers and a clear separation from the rest of the place...so yeah.  I'm oblivious to what goes on in the rest of the apartment.

I do have the odesk team installed on my laptop, but I haven't used it yet for work...all work is done at my desk.  One of these days, I'm gonna work use the laptop...but the laptop doesn't have two monitors, so I keep finding myself at the desk. 

My workspace is basically either at my fulltime job (shhh don't tell anybody!)  , downstairs at my home on the laptop, or at anyone's computer that has an Internet connection when I'm away.   That's the great thing about oDesk, it gives you the flexibility to work anywhere!

I work on my MacBook Pro wherever I am. Today, that's a hotel in Australia. Since joining oDesk in January, I've worked in a hotel in Brazil, a friend's house in Oregon, my parent's home in Virgina, my in-law's in Alabama, half a dozen airports, and the house I pay the mortgage on but rarely see in the lovely Adirondack's of New York State. I've got a nice home office there with a second monitor that I set up in March but haven't gotten to use yet. Luckily, I upgraded from my old 12 inch iBook to a 17 inch MacBook Pro at the same time. When I have to stare at this all day, that extra screen real estate makes a huge difference!

Thanks to oDesk, I was was able to quite my salaried day job in an office to travel with my husband. He's a field engineer so we go wherever his boss sends him. As long as they'll be Internet there, I come work with all of you, and still get to see him every night.

At present, I have a separate room in the house which serves as a home office. As I am writing this, I'm using my laptop, an HP Pavilion dv4025ea, an ancient laptop by today's tech standards, beside it is my HP Deskjet F2180 All in One Printer, Scanner, Copier.
In the other corner of the room is my wife's desktop PC. A modest 512MB RAM generic PC. Only in my dreams can I own a MacBook Pro or any Mac for that matter.
I work from my laptop most. Kind of slow though compared to the desktop. This is where my Graphic Tablet is installed. It's installed in the desktop too but problems with the system making the cursor shake.
In between the two computers is my drawing table where I draw and sketch.
Quite modest equipment but it gets the job done and serves their purpose. Worth every cent.

And I think that's it.

My desktop is in the living room.
Where we watch TV.

My wife and I live in one room.  I work in it.

I have a separate room in the house with the desk PC in it.  This is for rainy days.  I work on the laptop in the front yard in the shade of several oak trees.  Am I going to need two monitors??

It's a nice friendly separate space or room (oDesk) for me where I can get various help to do my job.

I have separate room where I have 2 computer. One with Window xp and other with Mac. After coming back from office I can only be found in my room

We have a desktop set up (along with printer, phone, etc) in the dining room, next to the kitchen. We don't use the dining room to eat in, it's really our "office". We eat in the living room most of the time.

I have a separate desk with my pc on it beside the bed. I like working in the bedroom so that I can just crawl to my bed to sleep and crawl back to my desk to work again. This is the nicest thing with oDesk. I can work anytime I want--even with rumpled hair and clothes:)

I work in a separate room which was used for storage. It doesn't look like an office but it is enough that i am working alone with minimal distractions. I hope in the future i would have my own office with employees to help me with my clients

As i got many projects on Odesk and www.getafreelancer.com

 Now i have started my own office in Lahore/Pakistan.

 Many Many thanks to Odesk.

I have a Home Office in a spare bedroom that also has it's own bathroom. In my apartment in West Hollywood, CA. It Has a main desk with primary self built desktop computer with Windows Vista, that I have networked to four other computers that are behind me in a Console/cabinet. These four computers are all connected to the same monitor, keyboard & mouse with a KVM switch. My AIO printer is also in this space, Also I have a laptop that I use in the bedroom, also connected to the network. I have two spare flat panel monitors in a storage cabinet. Everything has it's place, I have small dorm size fridge & seating/reading  area. It's my favorite room.

For now, it's a section of my bedroom.  Soon it should be in an extra room at the back of the house.  I'm gearing up for the dual monitor thing as well.

I use a corner of my living room/bedroom to setup my desktop machine. That space is my odesk office.

I have an office in my house that is for office work only.  I have a desktop computer and a laptop.  I have all the necessary equipment for running an office, which makes it convenient and time productive, allowing me to give prompt results.  My laptop gives me the freedom to work away from the office and that's a big plus, because I don't want to miss anything. 

 I should consider myself lucky!  My husband is the "IT Dept." where he works, and we have 11 CPU's in the house!  Our home office is at the "quiet end" of our house, away from traffic noise etc.  Our desks are really old doors with 4 metal filing cabinets under them, so I have lots of room to put my two working computers side by side on my desk.  I face one wall, and my husband is right behind me (with his back to me) facing the opposite wall.  Each work station has four shelves for boxes of software, reams of paper and everything a person working on a computer could want within arm's reach! 

We have a bathroom that we share, (mind you we have separate work stations, if I don't have something for my station, I don't borrow from him! I have to go buy it for myself.)  We each have a telephone, mine is the regular house phone; but his has it's own number.  Should someone call Scott on the house number (my telephone)  I simply tell them that Scott is at the "office" and his number is XXX-XXXX!

We have a refrigerator, sink, water dispenser (cold and hot water) microwave, and an Espresso machine!  In what was the closet (we removed the door and used it for one of the desks) we have all the network equipment, a TV set, and a fax/copy/scanner machine that we both use.

Our office chairs are big comfortable reclining rockers, and all too often I hear snoring behind me, and I know my husband is taking a little "nap break" (as he calls it).  All in all, we have the best office set up you might imagine....now if it only had a king size bed! (wink, wink).

 I have my own office and i work with my laptop.

I work in my office 12 hours.

I have tower in my living room and two laptops. I have a wireless g bridge that covers my back garden. I even carry a lappy when baby sitting my grandkids in case I get a support call.

Before I'm working in my desktop in our living room, but since my brother will be using it for school purposes, I bought my own laptop last July.

Now, I have my own place in my room as working area (table, swivel chair, lights, etc).  The good thing about this area is that it is near the window so I can look at the arriving plane to our international airport. 

i have a space around my dining where i set up a table and chair my laptop and a desktop though the laptop i can move around the house

We have a desk in one of the corners of our living room.

We have a separate room in our house that serves as our office and study room for our children.  The computer is turned on from sunrise to sunset.  I do online banking, bills payment, shopping etc at the convenience of our home.

I live and work tottally in my small 10x10 bedroom, actually haven't left the house in over 4 days now.For additional data security I installed a bolt lock on my bedroom door for the rare occasion that I do leave. 2 desktops and an eeepc

 Edit- Ohh yeah can't for get about the coffee maker, its in here too
