The best startup office tip I have heard is buying sheets of 'Solid White Tileboard' from home depot. It is a material used in commercial shower installations that works well as a white board. 8x12 sheet is ~14 dollars.

That's pretty expensive, isn't it? (I assume those are inches, not feet).

  No, that is feet.

    That is crazy-ass cheap. URL?

      This seems to be the same, but at Lowes. Correct me if I'm wrong: http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=61082-46498-31023248&lpage=none http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&prod...

  They're feet - whiteboard is cheap. (I don't have any experience with whiteboard paint.) A whiteboard room may be the best investment you can make.

Not able to find that on the Home Depot website. Do you have a link by any chance?

  I wasn't able to find it on the site either, but it was in their lumber department. I read about it on a couple blogs: http://www.johnmurch.com/2007/10/20/diy-whiteboard-on-the-cheap/ http://www.johnmurch.com/2007/10/20/diy-whiteboard-on-the-ch...

I found out about his after I purchased white boards

I did that once and hated the results. I glued it to a wooden backboard and it's very obvious where there is glue. Maybe it's just my poor craftsmanship, but if I were to do it again, I would look for some cheap glass (old shower doors on craigslist) and paint the back of it white.
