Desks Setup feedback wanted

What do you all think I can improve on to make this even better, I’m not really into the whole wall mounted rgb panels. I use this setup work and gaming, I store my work laptop inside the cabinet and run the wires for it to my 2nd monitor. Is there anything I can do to make it even better, the white cable plugged into the outlet is required for connecting the other power strips and raising the desk.

Desks Setup is basically complete, what weird/niche gadgets am I missing?

2 Upvotes

So I recently finished building my dream PC (9950X3D, RTX 5080, 49" OLED, etc.) and finally got all my peripherals sorted, including audio, mouse and keyboard.

Now with Black Friday coming up I've got the itch to buy something again lmao, but honestly idk what.

I'm into cyberpunk/futuristic stuff, anime, MMOs and flight sims. Already have a Bambu P1S too, so DIY stuff is welcome. Been eyeing Raspberry Pi projects, programmable displays, maybe even painting 3D prints.

Could use a better webcam for headtracking but meh, not really excited about that.

What weird gadgets or niche stuff do you guys have? Could be functional, aesthetic, or even full-on nerd LARP shit lol. Just looking for something different from the usual RGB/peripheral recommendations.

Desks Desk for Hyte Y70

2 Upvotes

Hi, so I’ve been looking at desks over the past few weeks. I currently have a Hyte Y70 and a 23.8 inch monitor. I need a desk that would fit the two comfortably but also wouldn’t be too huge (my room is kinda small). I would’ve loved the desk to be about 45-50 inches long (although, I believe this would feel compacted. If I’m wrong please let me know). For now, I’m looking at a desk around 50-58 inches with drawers. I would love your guy’s recommendations/input on what I should get. (Also I apologize if this is in the wrong subreddit, I do not use Reddit much haha)

Other Need advice on decluttering and improving setup

So I recently took everything off to clean the desk mat I had since it is a full desk one that came with desk. But after a while it gets cluttered with things on it. Was thinking if I should get monitor arms to help organise things with more space or a riser for monitor or even maybe both? Main reason I am trying to do this is cause well I got a small room so I tend to have a lot of things on my desk like tissue box, bin, other tech gadgets and for work I have a laptop so potentially want to get a hub and a place to put my keyboard and mouse.

Something with drawers, and a place for my pc and printer preferably. Anything better than the MICKE desk I currently have from IKEA. Suggestions would be very appreciated! Thank you!

I'm looking to get some wall panels for my empty wall, and I am currently using a galaxy projector right in front of it, which looks really good, but it still feels a bit plain. I'm leaning towards the white ones, but the wood ones also look interesting. (Images not mine)

Monitors VR for monitors (anyone?)

3 Upvotes

Anyone using a VR headset yet to expand your monitors?

XR included...

I recall Apple's VR only does a single monitor. So I ignored it then.

Seems like to Oculus Quest 3 line up is very affordable for now. Haven't tried it yet. I always thought it was locked down, but I'm seeing it's not somehow.

I'm imagining being able to setup like 6 monitors in 1 of these things & increasing your work productivity. You wouldn't have to stand, always seated. No expensive physical monitors & cables & stands/arms etc.

Other Looking for a good rug for an office chair that hides grime

5 Upvotes

I'm looking for recommendations for a rug to put under my desk and office chair. I'd like something between a standard and large size. My main goal is to hide the grime and marks left by the chair's wheels, not to protect the floor. My floor is very hard and won't scratch, so clear or glass chair mats aren't what I'm looking for.

I'd prefer something thin and low-pile so the chair can roll smoothly, in a darker or medium shade that doesn't show every speck of grime. No white or very light colours. I know replacing the chair's wheels is another option, but I'd rather try a rug first.

What rugs do you use and recommend from personal experience? I'd love to hear what has worked well for you!

Other Looking for a NASA-punk / retro-style USB hub recommendation (6-7+ ports)

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’ve been hunting for a retro-style USB hub to match my setup, but I'm struggling to find the perfect one. So far, I’ve looked at the ORICO A3H7, ORICO M3U7, and the EleksMaker NK MK5 Voice OLED, but none of them quite hit the mark.

Here is what I need:

  • At least 6–7 USB ports in total
  • Ideally 3–4 ports should be USB 3.0 or higher
  • Fast-charging capability would be a huge plus

The Aesthetic:

I’m looking for something that matches the NASA-punk / retro vibe of my current gear. Here is my 8BitDo retro keyboard

and my Lofree Hypace mouse

I’d love to find a hub that shares a similar design language with things like the Syitren N200 Mini speaker (matte white) or the Meizu PANDAER 2-in-1 charger (yellow), vintage beige, mechanical switches, or industrial retro look.
Does anyone know of any hubs that fit this specific vibe? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! I have a Corsair XENEON EDGE that I’d like to mount vertically beside my monitor, as shown in the first image.

Does anyone have any recommendations on what I should buy or how I could mount it? I’d prefer not to drill any holes, and I don’t have enough space for a desk clamp either.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Desks I need help choosing an affordable gaming desk.

1 Upvotes

I want to buy a new desk for esports. The budget is under £200. Would rather spend less if possible, without losing quality. It needs to be:

No wobble.

height adjustable

Can Support a monitor arm without problem, as well as a mic arm.

160cm x 70 - 80.

Would be nice if the desk was aesthetically pleasing.

Here are a few I’ve been thinking about getting, but have no clue how good they are, and I want to make the right choice so I don’t waste money:

UTESPELARE, IKEA

ergonomist Electric Standing Desk

I can either mount it on my desk (right next to bed) or my bed frame. Can't drill into my wall unfortunately since I'm renting but I'd really like to get a monitor I can use from my bed while looking straight up at the ceiling to avoid neck pains.

Trying to avoid getting those ipad mounts cuz it simply wont be as good as playing from my pc directly
