The Former Office
The first workspace The Brothers Chaps rented was a multi-room office space in the basement of "a depressing strip mall" in Decatur, GA. Descriptions of neighboring businesses imply that it may have been in the Suburban Plaza shopping center. They began using the space around early 2004.
Main Office
The Brothers' main office was the room where, presumably, most of the animation and graphics work for Homestar Runner was done. Its walls were painted just like the Basement of the Brothers Strong, and it contained of 2 or 3 Dell laptops on a desk, a TV, and a water cooler just beside the entrance door.
The desk also has a Mac, on which the work for DVDs was done. It had a Cinema Display and Apple keyboard. It specific model was unknown; since it used a first-generation model of Apple's Cinema Display, it likely was a Power Mac G4 or G5.
The Sound Room
The sound room is where the vocals, music and other audio for the website were produced. It is "fairly soundproofed", and held about 5 keyboards, a cabinet, a microphone, and a Dell Dimension (either a 2300C or 2400C) PC with A215 speakers and a They Might Be Giants mousepad. A window in the room looks out to another part of their office.
Videlectrix Office
This room was used as a background for several skits and photos featuring the Videlectrix Guys; it was where they used computers... to make video games! The blue walls have the Videlectrix logo printed above the window that led to the sound room. Framed cover artworks of their video games, such as StrongBadZone and Thy Dungeonman hung on the wall. An old Apple IIe computer sat at the a wooden table; real audio from this computer was occasionally captured for videos.
Green Screen Room
It is unclear if this room was a separate space or simply a section of another room. The wall was painted a chroma key green color. To facilitate filming, a tripod, props, and lighting fixtures were kept nearby. The room appeared in various Peasant's Quest bonus content on Everything Else, Volume 1, and in Sample of Style Too. Some Puppet Stuff was also filmed within this room. An original iMac G5 was occasionally seen in this room, though never while running; the puppet version of Tangerine Dreams, an orange slot-loading iMac G3, was seen as well.
Storage Room
A storage room, used to hold various supplies and props, some extra water cooler bottles, and a microwave and mini-fridge, is also present in the office. It was only seen in Eric Conveys An Emotion: The Interview.
