I love the concept, execution needs work though. :p I initially had cables running through one of those little cable hole things, but quickly just ran them behind the table top. I know you can't do that with your setup as is, but I hated it because every time you pushed the keyboard+mouse...

Yeah, it's a lack shelf I found laying around. It's sitting atop some old busted speakers that were nice and heavy and solid. I used blutack between all the surfaces to keep everything from sliding around. Doing this allowed space for wires behind. Later on, I was able to fix the monitor wires...

I've got the Philips Fidelio F1's, with a Schiit Modi+Magni (DAC+Amp) combination. Without getting all audiophile-y, it sounds really really good. For my place now, low volume and/or headphones are required. But I always prefer 'loud-enough-to-feel' music and games. Once I get back into my own...

It's funny you mention that, I've always been surprised just how capable these little Dell A425 2.1 speakers are. Bass is there, but it's the clarity that is surprising for these things, and they're electronically shielded quite well. I've tried other cheapo 2.1 sets also, and they often sound...

Yeah I loved it too. And it was cheap also. Got the desks for free, the monitor shelf setup free, the lamps were £8 each and the chair was £30ish from Ikea. Oh well.

Here's my previous set up I had posted here a while back: Unfortunately had to move to a much smaller place without a dedicated man-cave/study. The PC itself has had some little upgrades (GPU and more HDDs), but I lost my beloved desk and speakers. I do have a nice headphone+amp+DAC setup...

Some 'day'? Well it's only been about 3 weeks, but ok. ;) I'm talking about progress! I haven't been on here in MONTHS, where are the gainz? :D

Jesus Delvis, this log...

Sup guise! Haven't been on here in a LONG time. Just popping in, I hit some big PR's around new years, but haven't been lifting much since, and not at all in March. Med student life is taking over. :( Anyway, here were my PBs. SMed -------- 112.5 / 190 (W) / 220 (B) -------- [89] ---- 522.5...

Most of my stuff is 3s and 5s, and I'll throw in a heavy single every couple of weeks or so either because I'm tired and don't want to rep, or I'm feeling strong/greedy and want to test a new 1RM.
