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 want to design an L shaped gaming desk but I have two issues
There is a local fabricator who uses VERY strong wood and VERY strong steel bars
Which will make the desk thickness in the front 7.5 cm
3.5 cm wood
4 cm steel bar
My height is 174 cm and gemini says that the height should be 72 cm to set properly, is the 7.5 cm too much for my arms and legs positioning?
Also the dimensions in the picture is 180×60 120×60 I want a depth of 80 cm in the main side and 60 cm in the return side, will it look bad? What are better dimensions
THANK YOOOOU
I have purchased 2x Ultrarm Vision Monitor Arms. It serves my purpose quite well to support my 57 inch and 40 inch monitors. However, I havent seen many reviews of Ultrarm like other brands. I have seen many brands being discussed on Youtube but they always skip Ultrarm. The most discussed brand is Ergotron. However, even their HX model has less rated capacity than Ultrarm Vision.
The Ultrarm has great quality but I don't know if other brands like Ergotron offer better quality. I have never compared it against another brand physically so I cannot say for sure which is better.
Any thoughts?
I tried to keep my setup as minimal as possible but something just doesn’t sit right with me i’m wondering what i should change or move around or maybe take out of it, any ideas would help really
Also my pc case being not the best looking adds a factor but i can’t really change it at the moment.
This is what it is right now. Thinking of probably getting a monitor arm, but not sure which one
Edit: Got some pretty good recommendations. Most of it being a monitor arm which was on my list. I’ll definitely look for a bigger mouse pad and stuff to add to the walls. Thanks for the feedback!
BL;UF
For context on what I'm running with right now:
HARDWARE
Feels crowded. Setup includes personal PC and working laptop. Do not like the hidden drawers on right side to hold PC- was thinking getting a second desk to add as an L shape to hold PC and some decorative pieces?
Open to all suggestions
Just moved into a new place, so I’m finally starting to put together a proper workspace. Please ignore the boxes between the desk and display cabinet, they’ll be gone soon.
I’m pretty happy with the overall direction, but I’m struggling to refine it into a cleaner, more polished setup.
A few things I’m trying to work out:
- Speaker placement (angled on the desk vs raised on a desk shelf?)
- Whether a desk shelf would help clean things up and give me somewhere to tuck away the keyboard and mouse.
- The best way to use my MacBook Pro, gaming laptop, monitor, and iPad without making the desk feel cluttered.
- What to do with the empty walls and corner so the room feels a bit more finished.
It’s a bit of an odd space since it’s also our spare bedroom, and I wanted to keep my display cabinet in here too.
I’d love any suggestions or ideas to make it feel a bit more refined and cohesive.
What I’m hoping to accomplish:
I’m looking to setup a two pc workstation. I want to use a KVM switch to allow me to use the same keyboard and mouse for both PCs. I’d also like to have a dual monitor setup where I can run both monitors on pc number 1 and to be able to switch to where each pc will have its own monitor. Hopefully that makes sense.
Any recommended units for this?
DP for one monitor and HDMI for the other. One monitor is 4K if that matter.
Thanks!
Sooo the basic regular gaming chair I have isn't cutting it, and I'm getting older. So I tend to fall asleep in my chair while surfing or watching YouTube... I wake up with my head down… I lift my head and I have neck pains from the snooze I didn't intend on taking... and I can't lean back in my current chair... doesn't have that option. I just upgraded my desk recently now I'm looking for a good overall chair I can game, chill and once in a while nap in...
Any Recommendations???
Thanks in advance.
I have a plan for an "endgame" desk setup with 3 27in monitors on arms (using a single and double arm) with an eventual "endgame" PC using the Lian Li O11 Evo XL case.
My current desk is a 4ft x 25in with a dual 27 in monitors on a double arm and a Fractal North PC case along side with speakers, Switch 2, and PS5. My initial plan was getting an IKEA Alex Desk with a 96in x 25in desktop but then I went on Facebook Marketplace and saw good deals on a butcher block that has a same size and the 39in depth.
I guess my current use case with the new desk plan is obviously to game but the extra space is nice where I can move the mouse and keyboard so I can write on a notebook, play cards, work on model kits, and sometimes eat on my desk without moving all that stuff off my desk to on my bed. Trying to decided if its worth getting the extra space.
My desk current have 3 power bricks+ a surge protector with two laptops and a monitor is driving me nuts. Looking to consolidate into one GaN station with AC sockets, so I can kill the power strips too.
Options: MFish E-Tank (240W, 3x AC + 4x USB-C) vs UGREEN Nexode 300W (300W, 4x USB-C + 1x USB-A). Catch: the UGREEN is USB-only, so only the E-Tank kills the strips. Trade-off: AC sockets vs 60W more USB-C.
Anyone run either? Do the ports renegotiate/drop on hot-plug?
Been focusing on fixing up my space for long hours. Standard office seats just weren't cutting it for back comfort. The hbda ergonomic chair keeps the lower back pressure completely relaxed during long sessions. Posture feels so much better honestly.
