I chose the desk and bookcases together because this is one long wall and I wanted the whole thing to feel intentional.

My sister came over, took one look and said the matching wood is why the room feels flat, and that I need to replace one of the bookcases with something darker.

I almost agreed, but now I keep wondering if the cool gray wall is washing out all the wood and making everything look more matchy than it actually is.

If you're changing one thing first, would you repaint the wall or break up the set?

After sharing on X that I ordered a Mac Studio with 96GB of RAM,which I thought could be my first foray into local ai,a bunch of people told me, this just wouldn't cut it.

This was already really expensive for me, never spent even close to this much on a single computer.

So,I don't think I can afford local ai right now.

I think I'll just need to continue to live vicariously through people here on X with much bigger budgets than me!

Thanks for all the feedback everyone, definitely would rather save the money here if this isn't powerful enough to run local ai in a meaningful way.
