Show me ur desks pls

[shut plaza]

Thanks, I made them myself c:

16awg cabling, coloured paracord for sleeving, atx connectors + pins and a crimping tool. It's pretty easy to do

(and a $10 power supply tester to make sure the pinout is correct before you accidentally fry something lol)

[peak blade]

Wow, gorgeous

[somber horizon]

I need a cuter keyboard, confirmed.

[sonic wedge]

moar monitor

[somber horizon]

I love that keyboard.

[chrome nymph]

Damn, that's a lot of monitor real estate 😮 A high-end setup from top to bottom, well executed 👏

[glad sparrow]

Whoa what an awesome setup & pc!!

Random question: is the text very difficult to read at that distance and size?

I recently got a bigger 27 inch monitor with a higher res and the text is a bit smaller than I am used to.

[steady marlin]

Not fancy, but computer games plus nerd projects always 🔥

[sonic wedge]

what game is that i must acquire it immediatel y

[steady marlin]

Timberborn! Factorio but with beavers

[sonic wedge]

oh my god this is incredible

The monitors are closer than they appear in the first pic since it was taken from a few feet back from where you'd sit. I also use 125% dpi scaling, so that help with text readability. The two main monitors are both 3440x1440 as well so the extra sharpness helps.

Cool view

[peak blade]

I wish I had a view over the city!

I think the guy who lives above me has a fab one

[timid trellis]

Ha, rip

[pastel flame]

So many lanes 😱

[timid trellis]

Fr, you can almost see the haze of carbon emissions floating towards the sky lol

[brisk hinge]

Is this in Texas

[timid trellis]

Nah, Atlanta (Georgia, USA)

[real arrow]

Soo…

It ain’t Texas

[potent valley]

Just spotted this thread, so mandatory desk pic contribution:

[peak blade]

oh very nice

[celest shoal]

https://gleamweekly.com/ led me to this

[pastel flame]

Yaaaasssss

[high arrow]

two dualups?!

[potent valley]

Yup! Absolutely fantastic monitors, very happy with the purchase - bought one to try and absolutely loved it, bought a second as soon as they went on sale again

[shut plaza]

If I only used my setup for productivity I would probably go for that monitor setup, but since I use mine for gaming as well I went with dual 34" ultrawides stacked vertically. It ends up being about the same size and aspect ratio as that

[potent valley]

I had a similar setup for several years, had a 29 inch and 25 inch ultrawide stacked on top of each other. Got rid of it when I first got an M1 MacBook which could only use one external monitor. These days I do all my gaming on a TV, so I didn’t need to worry about gaming usage when switching back to dual monitors

[stray shoal]

Ditched the monitor for a little while

[somber horizon]

I wish my desk were that clean

[stray shoal]

It’s because I just swapped it for a different one lol

Usually it’s stacked crazy high with stuff

[somber horizon]

well, you got me to tidy my desk, so thanks

(my desk faces the rest of my untidy apartment, so no photos)

[marble nacelle]

Thinking of adding back a second monitor but quite liking the clean single monitor setup!

(Little gadget under monitor stand is a displayport switch that switches between my Mac mini (work/dev) and gaming pc)

[limpid patio]

I had one, the best ratio, but my eyes suffered terribly because of poor PWM implementation. I changed to NEC 27" and no pain in eyes or headache

[hollow swift]

I bought my new desk yesterday and it's 180cm by 76cm and I'm so excited

Gonna have sooo much more space

Mostly for snacks

[crisp hedge]

MIne is 160x80 and I absolutely love it

[hollow swift]

My current one is 140x40 and it's just not deep enough

It's also homemade and wobbly as shit

[marble nacelle]

The one in my pic is 80cm deep - love it!

[crisp hedge]

new house new setup (well... same but in a different house)

the left monitor is off because my little usb hub is being silly

also if anyone is curious, the tigger is older than me (1999 vs 2002)

missing off to the right is a lava lamp that hasn't been used in a while so not very photogenic

[hollow swift]

Grogu!

[crisp hedge]

Yeee, it moves!!

[hollow swift]

Adorable

[crisp hedge]

If you lay him on his back he shuts his eyes and goes to sleep

[hollow swift]

Need

[crisp hedge]

if you tap him on the head he does a few different things

[fierce field]

I'm pretty sure I had that exact one growing up

[crisp hedge]

I had the same thing as well, just not this exact one

[fierce field]

Actually I think I'm misremembering and it was my brother who did... this may be a good birthday present if I can find one

[crisp hedge]

The one I've got now was a christmas present from my mum 😄

[pastel flame]

God-level cable management here

[peak blade]

I respect this

[sonic wedge]

fuck thats good

[pastel flame]

fun tip: don't use electrical tape, it likes to deform

i shoulda taken a pic of how slanted it was before i added the masking tape

[ocean mason]

that's pretty much how I did it at home except with velcro

[pastel flame]

ooooo smart

[celest shoal]

hey, easy access

[swift urchin]

I've bought a pack of these for that and its pretty good ! https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0BTBJ3VS3?th=1&language=en_GB

[pastel flame]

Oh hey those are slick

[swift urchin]

I have so much things fixed with these under my desk 😄 ethernet switch, audio card, raspi and power strips

[sonic wedge]

i wanna get a little mount fo my mac studio once i move

[celest shoal]

SHEESH

[peak blade]

Oh that is real nice

[signal talon]

Is making a hackintosh reliable in 2024? I remember doing it a few years ago but it took hours and then it just crashed a lot so I switched back

[frosty cypress]

I'm not using hackintosh right now, it's windows 10 with the "MyDockFinder" app, very accurate recreation of MacOS interface

[celest shoal]

woah never knew this existed
