I hate t-mobile home internet, never, ever, ever again. The local fiber company is one neighbourhood away, I'm genuinely considering running a 1km Ethernet cable to the nearest ziply router

(For me)

This was a challenging one

Gaming/WFH

V2.0 - the functionality update (see last photo for old setup)

I learned many lessons with the cable management on V1, I used those to make v2.

Changes in order of importance:

-Added Second Monitor

-Added Quality Microphone & Boom Arm

-Relocated Speaker Puck Controller To Desk (Behind Coiled KB Cable)

-Utilized A Higher Quality Dual Monitor Arm (Huanuo)

-Used Longer Cables For Monitors, Enough Slack To Move

-Significantly Stronger Under Desk Cable Channel

-Lightbar Plugged Into Monitor USB Instead Of Routing Far

I'm a bit sad I couldn't find a way to hide the cables on the mic and monitor arms, without the mic and boom arm the main monitor has a really cool floating aesthetic too.

I'm definitely glad I installed the RGB strip with v1, it was totally worth it.

Note: I still have the headphones, only left them off the desk for photos

Alex Drawers, Furniture Risers, Saljan countertop.

This is the best my setup has ever looked thanks to the superb cable management harnessing the power of 3d printing, and the lovely ikea ALEX and SALJAN

Two retractable usb c cable reels of course, nothing I hate more than not having charging when I need it.

Used the 3d printed opengrid system on the back of one of my Alex drawers as there is space there anyway from the slightly larger width of the countertop,

absolutely hated my previous anfallare desk that was made of paper, finally I have a desk made of sawdust instead 😆

I drilled holes in the drawer and routed some cables through it, invisible unless you know where to look

Limited space, why have I not seen many examples of people wall mounting a monitor more out of the way? Is it just because of how impractical it is?

I'm going to add a second monitor vertical, but I'm debating between throwing a third on the wall while I'm balls deep in renovations

What do y'all think? The cable management sounds fun

I know my neck would get abused if I used it often, but I could throw long running tasks on there and glance every once in a while

Maybe it's super unnecessary, but I like having the space to grow into.

Also one more thing, mounting a boom arm mic on the bottom shelf, is that something I can do? Because it's what I want to do.

Never forget TT without ads 🥀

2024 Spark Trixx, 40hrs

Had a nagging feeling my acceleration was getting worse, then it began cavitating heavily. Strangely my top speed wasn't affected as much as I would expect

After much pain, she's done.

Is there anything I could have optimized where I took a long route for no reason? I think I did pretty well.

I don't recall sucking up any debris, but I am the second owner

I'm glad they specified, I really couldn't tell if they were alive
