Not as neat as some of the setups here still got some cable tidying to do. Also having a office/play room is not the ideal situation but will have to do for now

@mattx2 That's one lovely view you have there decent WFH set up too

@mattx2 I like the way you have those laptops setup what are you using please for that ?

Not quite finished yet but slowly getting there.
This room just had the sofa against that backwall and a larger TV table against the wall where I was standing taking the photo. It felt pretty cramped and the girlfriend suggested I do a revamp.

Pulled up the carpets and ran CAT5E cable under the floorboards then went from there. It feels much bigger even though I now have a desk and PC in there.

I used a Huanuo Triple Monitor Stand with a couple of vesa laptop trays attached. The center screen is 35" and its a tight fit the hinges just clear the monitor to allow the laptop arm to swing round

Recently upgraded from my Coolermaster Haf 922 to this Corsair 5000d, looks much cleaner inside...

Finally got my PC setup finished the way I watnt it, its a little messy but OK for the most part!

Got my setup working quite nicely for streaming and capturing console footage (For editing and uploading to YT).

Just need to find a (cheap) way to mount an old Android phone for DroidCam (OBS webcam) and then focus on lighting but that can come in the future.

Also moved back to the trusty Noctua NH-D14 on the 3950X (I also switched out the Corsair ML120's with Noctua fans). The H100x I was using is absolutely fine but I wanted the machine to be as silent as possible. Now it just hums nicely even when rendering out video in Resolve and is practically silent in normal desktop use (document editing, web browsing etc).

I had to beg to get this tiny bit of space to myself in the corner of the spare room, wife would prefer I was in the garage.

When mine isn't a mess:

Roughly 1 week later and ever since its loaded with mess.

Recently got my desk set up again with a new top to fir into the recess around the window in my room, very happy with it so far

That's an old case!! They don't make them like they used to. Bet it weighs a tonne

Yeah its really nice, houses my old P3 & dual voodoo 2 system. It’s surprisingly not as heavy as it looks since its made out of aluminium

This is mine planning on repainting the room grey but busy saving for a complete new setup. Currently using it to work from home also always feels messy.

@dannywaugh1 what depth is that desktop? Is it wood?

I'm looking at building my own desk, roughly inspired by this dude: https://imgur.com/a/homj864
I don't have his equipment or skillset, but I'm aiming for a final version similar to this Ikea dining table, but without the gap up the middle, and I want to close up the left side and put a board across the back to hide messy wires.

I have a hefty 34 UW Alienware, and an XL mouse matt that I lose, so I need 80cm depth. My current desk is 150cm wide, which feels about right.

For the top, I can't decide between wood veneered MDF at a cost of approx £100, or real wood worktop for about £220. My main concern with MDF is that it will sag over 150cm... I've already discounted on supplier that can only offer 19mm thick veneered MDF... I need to follow up with another that I think offers 25 and 30mm.

Any advice on how to proceed? Is veneered MDF likely to fail badly?

 

[dannywaugh1]

@Stu It is this desk top https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/gerton-table-top-beech-50106773/ 150 x 75cm comes plain so you will need to sand it smooth and put on a finish which did not take long, I finished with Danish Oil and do plan on getting a Samsung G9 eventually, I can sit on it and I'm about 17st of winter insulation

It is a bargain for £75 and some Danish Oil was only £8 I used a cheap orbital sander spent 2 hours sanding smooth then wiped all the dust away with some tack cloths and applied the oil. I did leave each coat of oil to dry before applying another, in total there are 5 coats.

Picture of the finish in better light

It’s Dulux Denim Drift. A grey with a hint of blue - it changes a bit depending on the light. Really happy with the colour.

Just wanted to give you props for putting me on to this. I liked the look of it from your pic and now I have a wall painted in it in my nerd room. Cheers

Got a couple desks from work that were getting skipped, better than my old desk and dining table lol. My 9yo daughter has a machine and me.

Been a while since i've posted here, but moved into basement during first lockdown and slow built up a new setup and finally ascended to dual ultrawides
