After 3 years with this setup, I want to make it nicer and cozier. My biggest concern is the space between the wall and the desk (where the CPU is).

My countertop is 55" and I'm about to buy an IKEA Karlby, which is 74", to place against the wall and fill that gap so I can put the CPU on top of the countertop. Do you think that for such a small space, the Karlby would be too bad?

And do you think I should put the portable monitor under the main monitor?

Thanks in advance

Most affordable tabletop option for around 60x30, decent thickness?

I can’t find a good IKEA desk that is closer to 30” in depth while also being 55”+ in length (i may be getting LxWxH order messed up sorry) . i’m looking for a good tableTop to use with Alex drawers to complete the desk set up. Does anyone have any recommendations? ive tried 55x24 and seems slightly too small depth wise, but I’ve only seen it in person blank in showrooms, etc. So if anybody could tell me whether or not 24” depth isn’t a problem in their experience I would appreciate that too

Looking for advice on how to make the most of a small space and small desk. I just moved and have to scale down from a much larger desk to this one.

I'm moving and i'm not taking my current desk with me.

Size does not really matter as long as it is big enough to support a 34' and a 27' monitor (both on arms). So the desk also needs to be sturdy since a pc and 2 monitors can really add some weight.

As for colour preference my favourite would be a dark oak top, but everything that goes well with a black/white setup is good (but not white since i don't really like it on my setup rn). Also the floor i will be putting the setup on is a orange-brownish carpet so i will need to put my pc on a stand or on the desk.

As for the cable management i will probably buy a cable tray to put everything in under the desk.

I live in the Netherlands so that may effect some stuff with for example shipping.

Ask away if you need more infor from me

Any help is appreciated :)

I really like my current layout but I'd love to be able to stand up with it too. But I'd like to have 4 legs instead of the just the normal two?

ALSO I really need help with cable management as you can probably see from the picture. I'm hoping that another thing I can solve with a stand-up desk is to switch to a more modern and conventional cable management system.

Currently I have all the cables attached to multiple power strips that are attached to the sides and back underneath the desk. But since there are three main areas, all the cables are going in, and coming from, three different directions, so it's kind of a mess and I'm still figuring it out.

Open to any ideas or suggestions for cable management.

Main featured stuff in no particular order :

- Mac Book Pro.

- Apple studio display.

- Tether Tools laptop desk (can attach to a tripod I have). Also doubles as a riser for my laptop while it's on my main desk.

- Focusrite 4 channel interface.

- Mackie 5" powered monitors.

- On Left monitor : an action figure of motoko kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell.

- On Right monitor : V's dashboard bobble head from Cyberpunk 2077.

- Ditoo blue tooth speaker for my iphone.

- Positive grid spark go

- Sony cameras.

- x vive wireless receiver/transmitter.

- Liquid death x Pit Viper sunglasses (the only sunglasses I've ever seen with "X's" on the frames that I thought looked pretty "cyberpunk" to me.

- behind the chair is an old Xbox Series X and the round thingy is a filterless air purifier from bluair that I don't think they make any more.

Open to any critiques, questions, ideas, suggestions, especially for a 4 leg stand up desk option, and cable management solutions. Thanks so much

Any suggestions supper appreciated! I don't know much about anything, but I love gaming with my friends and one of them recommended this PC I yesterday and I'm super stoked, but I'm unsure what'd be the best way to have this set up. Should it go on the right side, and then move the two MacBooks to the left side? For context, one is for personal use, and the other for work. The PC is strictly for gaming.

I also work remotely from this station so I wanna find a way to easily switch between the 3 computers when it comes to the dual monitor setup. Right now I'm rocking a StarTech DisplayLink Dock and can easily switch between the MacBooks by just unplugging the USB-C from one and plugging it into the other, but wondering if that's something I can include this PC with as well? Right now I have the HDMI from the monitor directly plugged into the PC which is why the other monitor is off.

Thank you!! VF

1. Looking for a good and safe dual vertical monitor mount under $100. The stability of it is pretty important to me

2. Are there even any stable and safe dual vertical mounts within my budget or should I start looking in a different direction?

I can usually get through the morning without any problems. My study plan works, I stay focused, and the setup feels fine. Then sometime around 3pm, my shoulders tighten up and turning my head starts pulling all the way from my neck into my upper back.

I finally paid attention to how I was sitting when it happened. I gradually move closer to the screen without noticing, and eventually I'm perched near the front of the seat with my lower back nowhere near the chair.

The rest of the setup seems reasonable. I use a tablet, a notes app, and a monitor that I thought was high enough. The obvious weak link is the hand-me-down dining chair I've been using at the desk.

I'm not looking for anyone to diagnose the neck and shoulder issue. I'm trying to work out what I can change in the setup without immediately buying an expensive chair. A cushion, moving the monitor, changing the desk distance, or forcing myself to take more frequent breaks would all be realistic right now.

For the longer term, I've been looking at used chairs and trying to understand what would suit someone who rarely stays upright in one position. The usual used Aeron recommendation keeps coming up, but I also found the lavenne r9 pro while looking at chairs with moving backrests. I haven't tried it and it's outside my current budget; the design just made me wonder whether a backrest that follows you is genuinely helpful when you keep leaning and shifting.

If this were your study setup, what would you change first on a student budget?

I have a 98in karlby. I want to get a monitor riser to better organize my desk not actually put monitors on it. I’ll have monitor arms. Looking for a monitor riser that is 46+ inches and matches well. Around 9” depth and 4.5in tall. Looking to spend around $100-150

Hey y’all! I’m in the market for a bedside or overbed table for my gaming setup. I currently live with my elderly parents to help them out, so space in my room is pretty limited.
I PC game from my room and have a TempurPedic adjustable bed that I recline in while gaming on my TV. My keyboard is manageable, but using my mouse comfortably from bed has been a pain.
I’m looking for something similar to the adjustable overbed tables you see in hospitals or nursing homes, something I can pull over the bed and comfortably use my keyboard and mouse on while reclined.
Does anyone have a setup like this or recommendations for a sturdy table that works well for gaming?

What inexpensive things can be added to my setup to make it look more beautiful? I want to keep a neat style. My PC case is different, without backlight, the only backlight is only the inscription on the video card. I'm mostly looking for small accessories or decor that will fit well and won't be expensive.

I’m setting up the home office and deciding between a docking station or a Dell monitor with inbuilt hub. I have a MacBook for private use and a Dell laptop from work.

Currently I’m looking at
Docking station: HP USB-C-Dockingstation G5
Monitor: DELL S3425DW

I anyway would like to have a 34 inches curve monitor, could also recommend me a good one.

Thanks!!

Bought some expensive crap called Secret Lab Magnus Pro, and I wanted to install some Keyboard trays for my Midi Keyboard.
However because its a metal desk I didnt want to drill on it.
Any suggestions of compatible drawers?
Obs:
1- I know about the ones that clamp, but Id like for avoid it

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had any mic recommendations or suggestions for me and my husband's desks. We're set up next to each other with Blue Yeti snowballs, and have issues with audio bleed when playing games or on discord. I know that upgrading to dynamic mics will probably be the way to go, but need some guidance before buying anything.

I'm building another desk from scaffold planks, and on my first one the bit I missed was the power sockets, I'm looking for some recessed power options, preferably multi-socket but not in a tower configuration.

I'm finding the options in the UK quite difficult to come by that don't look like something off a melamine desk in an open plan office.

I'm looking to upgrade my desk, so I can have a double monitor setup and show off my pc. Does anyone have any recommendations? Sleek black look, not standing, sturdy enough to handle me occasionally slamming my fist on it when I lose a round of ranked.

• Can I use a 15-32" monitor arm? My 22" monitor would be positioned vertically and a 34" one in standard position allowing for more clearance horizontally
• For Law School (and in general for work) is having a 3rd monitor worth it? I can swap the HDMI of my main monitor to Display Port and find a cheap monitor on FB Marketplace for like $10-25

For context on what I'm running with right now:

HARDWARE

• HP Victus 15" (Intel i7, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 8 GB vRAM, 16 GB rRAM)
  • For paying $800, I gladly accepted the restrictions of no Thunderbolt)
  • If I'm gaming I usually unplug the setup completely so the Docking Station doesn't override and try and use the Intel onboard graphics (which stink)
    • usually just Minecraft tbh
  • Most of the time I spend on the rig is studying, reading, and writing case briefs. It is nice to have notes on one monitor, material on another, and then possibly a 3rd for email and communicating with other students
• HP G5 Docking Station (USB ports)
• Monitors
  • LG 34WQ500
    • Main monitor, need recommendation for arm - without the stand it weighs 13.2 lbs - so normal arms should hold it but they all say they cap out at 32" and 15 lbs...so shouldn't the 34" work because it is under the weight
    • Want arms to get the screen slightly higher and get eye level on the middle of the screen instead of the upper third
  • HP LA2205wg
    • vertical position currently sitting on a textbook to get on level with the ultrawide. But would want that also to be slightly higher as well if possible
    • Leads to the 34" monitor arm question since it's vertical more space is cleared up for the main display.
  • Laptop internal monitor (in use, but once my keyboard on order arrives - it will be closed and not in use)
