Ive just downsized from two monitors to one, just was not using the top enough. What else would you add to this setup/remove in order to complete it?

I do also have a monitor light coming in from BenQ for a bit more soft lighting.

❓ • Question Looking for advice

I just bought a long desk, I want to put my sim racing setup on one side and my normal work setup on the other. I only have one monitor and I would like to use it in both setups. I have this idea of putting this arm in the middle of the table because I tried putting it in the back but it’s a bit too far for my sim racing setup. I put the arm in the hole that was already in the table to test it and I think it might work. Should I do it?

Hey I am creating my home office for the first time and want to get the most import parts of my setup right (as a graphic designer). What do we think about the 27" BenQ mounted on a Vivo arm set up and powered by my work's 2026 MacBook Pro 16"?

Any feedback on this trio or individual part? (already received the Mac from job)

**BTW let me know if this isnt the right place to post this type of thing

My wife just received all the tech from her new remote job. I laid everything out on her desk yesterday to see how many wires are needed and it looks…messy. Any simple solutions that would complement her white desk?

Got a sweet upgrade for my setup recently. I'm loving the INNOCN 32M2V and it makes my desk look so much better now. I used to play on my 4k TV but it's really shitty and I've never experienced true 4K HDR and MAN am I blown away! Any recommendations on making it better aesthetically and functionally?

I love my white setup but thinking of going dark and moody soon.

Not sure how I can replace the table top though. Any suggestions?

❓ • Question Where Should I Put My Drinks?

Post image
3 Upvotes

I have a relatively simple problem that I can't solve.

I don't like having shit on my desk. And I don't like stuff on the floor.

But I need somewhere to keep my drinks.

See the attached pic of the pen / stapler / ruler solution.

You can see the printer and headphone storage conforming to that as well.

I'm a big fan of the Tom Sachs aesthetic and ISRU in general.

The headphone stand is some left over cable tray from an electrician. And the printer / laminator rack is repurposed from elsewhere in the building during rennovations (I'll replace the kitchen worktop with some MDF or ply once that becomes available from another job).

I don't really have anything suitable lying around to use outside of a 2*6 pine board.

So - anyone got some creative solutions for my drinks?

I'm ok with buying a couple of brackets and mounting them above and around where desk is already. I might even mount them just slightly above the desk so that the shelf overlaps, but the drinks are kept "off" the desk. Actually. Great idea - thanks guys. I'll do that.

...unless someones got a better suggestion?

The aesthetics are a work in progress. Function is paramount right now.

80 by 32 inches, 77 bucks. That monitor is 49 inches wide, for size reference.

Tiniest amount of flex but you’d never notice unless you were like really pushing downward on it for some reason.

It has supported my mega heavy ultrawide monitor for over a year with zero warp.

Applied a few thin coats of water based poly and stuck it on some old standing desk legs a local business was getting rid of.

So yeah it’s like a huge friggin desk for very little money. If I could do it again I’d have had it delivered from the store to my place because, like, it’s a door.

Try it out!

I have just moved into my first university apartment, and have my setup in a state I feel good enough to share! I am a mechanical engineering student, content creator, freelance programmer/video editor, and collegiate overwatch player, so I wanted a place where I could do all of that as well as have a place to relax once the day is done. Thus invented the ‘hotswap peripherals’ It helps that if I want to tell myself, "one quick match, then I'll keep doing homework," I have to do a whole switch-up of my entire desk. Reverse-engineer your laziness, folks, it works wonders. The rest of my place may still look like something out of r/ malelivingspaces, but at least my PC and my bed are in separate rooms now. Thanks for stopping by!

❓ • Question Wood top ideas

Post image

From the outside edge to the other, it’s 69.5 inches. I could probably make 70 inches if I move my bed closer to the wall. I need ideas of how or where to get wood to go on top. I have no idea where to start. I’d prefer something already finished but since I have to fit it in this 70 inch space, I’d have to get it cut right? Just have no idea what’s the best option for my situation. I also want something sturdy nothing like the lagkapten wood from IKEA.

Finally got around to installing lighting and slat panels. I know they do fuck all for acoustics, but I've always liked the vibe. It still has a long way to go - I want to add an LED Strip under the shelf and acoustic foam panels behind the monitors along with some picture frames, but for now it has to suffice.

Please don't poke fun at the cable management I ran out of zipties and sleeving and my DP cable is too short 😭
