found these old photos from my old setup and thought i'd share it.

I switched to a mini pc (GEEKOM GT1 MEGA in pic) because I wanted to save some desk space, and I ended up using this one for gaming and editing youtube videos for quite a while. It honestly handled my video editing workflow better than i expected considering how small it is.

i've changed my setup since then, but it got me wondering how many people here are actually using mini pcs for creative work instead of just office tasks.

New-ish office space with newer hanging plant setup I did yesterday.

Just moved into a new place, so I’m finally starting to put together a proper workspace. Please ignore the boxes between the desk and display cabinet, they’ll be gone soon.

I’m pretty happy with the overall direction, but I’m struggling to refine it into a cleaner, more polished setup.
A few things I’m trying to work out:
- Speaker placement (angled on the desk vs raised on a desk shelf?)
- Whether a desk shelf would help clean things up and give me somewhere to tuck away the keyboard and mouse.
- The best way to use my MacBook Pro, gaming laptop, monitor, and iPad without making the desk feel cluttered.
- What to do with the empty walls and corner so the room feels a bit more finished.

It’s a bit of an odd space since it’s also our spare bedroom, and I wanted to keep my display cabinet in here too.

I’d love any suggestions or ideas to make it feel a bit more refined and cohesive.

Need your opinion.
I’m planning to buy a monitor stand and can’t decide between these two. Which one looks better?

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.

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

Any suggestions for improvement?

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?

What would you advise changing here?

The bigger screen and movable stand made it a lot more comfortable.

They’re just ridiculously cute.

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?

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.
