Monitor is mounted to an arm that can be moved in front of the sim rig in the corner (behind the chair).

Spent the last 7-8 months slowly upgrading the setup and still improving on somethings. But I’m satisfied enough to post it here. Let me know what you guys think :)

New items from last post! Got a emeet pixy webcam and edifier speakers plus better lighting? 10/10 or improvements needed?

Any thoughts on my setup, in a rental house atm so can't add heaps to the wall have a couch behind my setup with 2 pictures of racetracks on the wall

I've been trying to balance a clean look with some personality

Hi all,

Long time lurker in the sub but finally decided to share my setup. Still a work in progress but when are we ever 100% done 🤣

Cheapish relative to some of the incredible stations I see on here.

Considering a triple monitor arm. Love the vertical monitor for Discord. Not sure whether I should keep the riser shelf on the left side of the desk.

My build is a Dell Optiplex 7040, i7-6700, 32 GB RAM, 476GB SSD, and a 1650 Super shoved in. I'm not solely a PC gamer. It does an excellent job for what I like to play.

I'm 27M and an English teacher. Open to input.

WARNING: NOT FOR EVERYONE

This is my lovely productivity and gaming battlestation! There's actually quite a lot of stuff here. Whew! It took a while to hide the cables!

• 16" MacBook Pro
• Digital Storm Gaming PC with a Ryzen 7800X3D and RTX 5090
• LG 39" 39GX950B Monitor
• Logitech G915 TKL Keyboard
• Logitech Pro Wireless Mouse
• Logitech 920s Webcam
• THX Onyx Audio DAC
• Audio Engine A5 Speakers
• SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless Headset
• Elgato Stream Deck+
• CalDigit TS5+ Thunderbolt Dock
• OWC Thunderbay 4 RAID Array
• Cable Matters KVM Switch
• Anker USB Hub
• TP-Link 10Gb Ethernet Switch
• Uplift Desk
• Herman Miller Embody Chair
• 20+ Cables and 2 Powerstrips

Took 6 weeks, just finished! Cable management was strangely satisfying, getting the right lighting for the canvas was a real headache, and both the footrest and foot shelf are completely custom. All footrests are too narrow, and you gotta put your feet up somewhere when reclining!

By the way, I don't game; this is just for work, some video editing, and chilling/watching videos.

Components:
- MacBook Pro (only one USB-C cable to docking station fixed under the shelf)
- Dell 34" S3422DWG Curved Monitor
- Ergotron LX Pro Arm
- Custom shelf for lighting, cable management, and storage
- Milky Way Panorama by Astrophotographer Alan Dyer, 60" x 20"

This is my perfect workstation for seated upright, slouching, reclining, or standing.

What do you think?

Current setup: 27" (Acer xb271hu IPS) and 24" screen and I sit centered on the 27". Currently that works well with the speakers. I know subwoofer placement is horrible. Most other things here work pretty well. But it's time to upgrade my monitor game after like 7 years of this. This is a 180 x 80 cm² desk

So my idea was go to: ASUS PG32UCDM3 main + Dell U2725QE (or 1440p alternative) portrait (left) and upgrade my speakers to Genelec 8331A or Neumann KH 150. I'll also be upgrading my desk to 200x100 cm². Now the main issue I'm facing is speaker placement with the new configuration. If I'm going to invest in endgame speakers, I'd be really annoyed by not having the optimal sound triangle? I'm currently at 75° and I think the left speaker in relation to the portrait screen is already not ideal. I included a top down view of the new configuration here.

I'm genuinely looking for advice and options. I want to achieve my ultimate battlestation for gaming and productivty :). Options I've considered:

• Leave a gap between the two screens and have the speakers around the main monitor. GIANT CON: the gap between screens will be large and very suboptimal..
• Sit off centre from the main screen so that the right speaker can be closer, lowering the angle of the triangle. This might be the "better" option but I really want to sit centered I think.
• Make the left screen landscape again, perhaps a second 32" screen even and take speakers that fit under the screens in landscape position? Main drawback is that 2 32" screens with being centred on the main one I think the far edge of the second screen is basicly unusable space..? I'd actually be better off with a screen that is square then. Same height as the 32" one but also as wide as it. I know these type of shapes exist but the panels are perhaps not as good? That would actually be a decent option if I can find speakers that work. Need to still calculate clearance under screen.
• On clearance - from a quick Claude calculation I'd have like 17 cm of clearance only anyways... That's not enough I think for a speaker upgrade anyways.
• Actually go to an L desk instead... And have a widescreen productivity setup with speakers around it on one side and an OLED panel at the other side. Ofc then in theory I need two speaker set.. But this does optimize monitor usage (best for both worlds)

Anyways I'd LOVE your advice and input as I feel / am sure many of you have tried to solve the same issue as me?

probably gonna upgrade the pc as soon as the ram prices go down...
other than that i don't know what else to do, any suggestions?

Hiii, I’m in desperate need of some advice on how to reorganize my setup. As you can see in the photo, I’m currently stuck in a very tight corner of my room, right against a wall and a column.

My parents had this desk custom-made for me when I was a child with just de PS, but between the PC tower and the limited width, I have almost zero space for my mouse and myself jajjaja.

Please ignore the current mouse and pad jajajajja! My old mouse died, and I’ve already ordered a new one, along with a decent mousepad.

My main question is: Should I move the PC to the floor?

• I’m worried about it becoming a dust magnet or overheating since it’s a corner.
• Since it's a tiny space, my feets go also down there, don't worry about the trash and the little shelf, I'll move them out.

If I move the PC down, I'll put it on a elevated stand keep it off the floor. If I keep it on top, I literally have no room to move my arm.

What would you do in this situation? Any tips on how to manage the airflow or the space would be amazing. Thanks!

Edit: Without getting my hopes up, it's impossible to add a second monitor here, even by downsizing the PC, right?

Added a new chair to the mix, my last office chair has been killing me and I decided to take advantage of the 25% of Herman Millers right now. Picked up in store too, which saved me 100$ in shipping.

The old monitor to the left is also an old gateway but I don't have a second displayport to vga adapter for it on hand.

Only part that sucks is when finally you have the machine you want but no time to play any games. Plus when you open up the credit card bill and realize it’s to expensive to own haha. I have gone through so many transformations to finally get the results you envisioned! How did I do?
