Where did you get that wallpaper from (the snowy one)?

It's an animated one I made for wallpaper engine. I've uploaded it on Steam - it's called 'Tundra'.
Edit: made a bigger stand this afternoon for the DAC and a USB hub. Also got the Pitikapp sytem monitor software running on my iPhone. It's a nice little free app and easy to use / configure.

That looks really greatSo... I did a new desk build.
Away with the IKEA Malm. In with, a full kitchen?
Full thread with more pics in the build section:

But would really be no good for someone like me as the more desk space i have the more junk i stick on it

Tidied up before back to work tomorrow. Waiting on new CPU cooler and I can finish v1 of this new build off too.

Just finished doing all my WiFi enabled RGB strips into channels, really liking it. All configured with Alexa aswell. May do another floor run under desk.
Entire experience of it means I'm likely to put RGB bulbs, smart switches, motion sensors (for auto lighting at night) and contact sensors for stuff like lighting cupboards in February.

Can I ask bud, how do you mount the monitor on the wall like that? Do you need to drill into the studs or something?
It's best to but I have mounted one using drywall anchors before. I just made sure to get an arm/mount with a wide backplate so the load is more evenly distributed.

Not finished but it's getting there
Need to get some basket to assist cable management

^^ Like that, just needs a massive monitor in the middle wall mounted
Ah cheers, bud, would you mind linking to the kit in question?
Are these interchangable with the panel that you get ? E.g. if you upgrade?

Thanks, that’s the plan. I doubt I’d be going massive though.
Does anyone have recommendations as to where I can buy a desk that’s deeper than 80cm. It’s actually quite a tedious thing to search for on google!
I ideally want something 90cm deep and with a seeming lack of any other options I think my best bet is getting a kitchen worktop and adding some legs to it.

They're completely overkill. We have doubled up lol, it was huge on my 34" monitor.
Kitchen worktop is the way forward. A standard one won't be deep enough for your wants there, but an 'island / breakfast bar' section will be. Very easy to cut to size also if you find a section bigger than required.
Yup this is what I’m going for... just get some table legs on the thing.
With that said your set up with the cabinets is dreamy
did you get a tradesman in for that?

I attached them to the dry wall directly (no studs). I did use these to mount and would definitely recommend:

The mount I used was this one:

eBay or Gumtree. I got mine (dark solid oak) from Gumtree after a bloke finished his kitchen and had it left over.
If new then eBay has plenty of kitchen worktop suppliers selling solid wood 960mm deep tops, e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Solid-Oa...-/132677845136?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292.

I got my worktop from Worktop express as everything else did not fit my criteria.
Excuse the mess.
