small computer desk lamps

Your new computer has arrived and you don’t have a clue how to set thing up but you know you have to start somewhere. To start off on the right foot start by setting up your work area properly. Your computer will be a valuable tool for you and the family, so it’s worth taking time to plan your computer space and system well, to ensure it is both easy and safe to use.

Ideally, it would be best to convert a small room, or a corner of a larger one, into an office, so everyone in the family can use the computer without being disturbed. Make sure the selected area has adequate space and several electrical outlets, not just for your equipment but for a desk lamp. If you will be sending faxes from your computer, or connecting to the internet, you also need to be near a telephone jack.

Set aside some time, maybe 3 to 4 hours to set up your computer properly. Think carefully about how to arrange your area. A poorly laid out system will be irritating and may even prevent you from getting full use of your computer. Also, it’s a good idea to spend some time reading those manuals. You need to know where to plug in the different cables.

Another thing you want to make sure is you do have the proper computer desk. It’s best to be able to alter the height of the monitor and keyboard, and tuck the keyboard away when not in use. Your PC desk should be a comfortable height for typing so that the lower part of your arms are parallel to the floor.

Make sure you have an adjustable chair, which each member of the family can adjust for good posture and maximum support. Your adjustable chair will support your back and can be adjusted for each family user. If your feet don’t rest comfortably on the floor, buy a footrest. Your feet should be resting flat on the floor. The following items you want to make sure you have with your brand new computer when setting up:

- Monitor. This houses the computer screen. Position your monitor to avoid reflections, but avoid facing a bright window yourself as this may lead to eyestrain.

- Keyboard. You must make sure your keyboard is on a stable and level surface within easy reach. Leave enough space in front for hands and wrists and ensure that the desk is at the correct height.

- Printer. Position your printer near the system unit. Make sure there is sufficient space around it for loading the paper trays.

- Mouse. Place the mouse to the left or right of your keyboard to minimize arm movement. Use the mouse pad to create the correct amount of friction for the mouse, and be sure there is room to move the mouse back and forth.

- Speakers. For the best sound quality, speakers should be well spaced apart at desk level or higher, not pushed under the desk. Ensure that the computer is situated so that others are not disturbed by computer games or alert sounds.

- System unit also known as the hard drive. This is the part of your computer that connects everything together. Leave space so that you can plug in the cables easily. Don’t leave cables trailing.

Make sure when you set up your computer, you have each part that is listed because knowing exactly where to place each of these parts will ensure a safe and efficient work area.
