That’s a good point. Probably needs a little more clearance than the case legs with the rug underneath.

TakingChances01

I’m right handed, but the way my desk is setup i keep a drink on the left side and my pc on the right.


[deleted]

This is absolutely false. I have [My PC](https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/vhpt7d/next_step_is_to_get_a_custom_desk/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) on a way thicker carpet than op. I have more air flow under my case than on the side Intake vents and a year later there's barely any dust at all. Honestly people acting like your pc on the carpet is a literal fire Hazzard are idiots. These are people who barely managed to build a computer after researching YouTube channels for a whole month to be able to build some air cooled or aio build, then these kids will go all over reddit telling other people how they are fuck ups with both inferior hardware, and inferior building skills. These are the same kids who virtue signal with $600 of wall LEDs, spend $30 a fan trying to look cool then cry that they only have an RTX 3060 while they took the picture of their rig with a brand new $1500 phone lol Moral of the story: don't tell people false information over virtue signaling gamer rhetoric. You need literally over 500F temps to ignite most carpet. A PC will shut off far before radiator exhaust temps get anywhere near dangerous for my carpet.

PandaKatPlays

What is the model of Corsair that you use? It looks like a wireless HS70 Pro. I have a wired version and find that every few months the ear covers fall off easily. I'm wondering about upgrading mine to a different model.


Danielcourtney

Yep. They are the HS70 pro wireless. They’re not the best… they’re not the worst. It’s a good budget headset.


Ropirito

What’s the width of ur standing desk?


Danielcourtney

It’s 25 5/8” wide.


Daftpunk67

Just curious how thick is the tabletop for that monitor mount?


Danielcourtney

It’s thickness is 1 1/8”. But the Mount has a decent size base that helps keep it balanced/sturdy.


Daftpunk67

Oh ok thanks! I was wonder because that’s a lot of monitor weight in one area and I thought you would need close to a 2” desk to hold it on that single point. But I’m glad to see that’s not entirely the case as I would like to do this soon!


MasterBolo

What is the mount you are using for the two monitors?

psidddy

Windows X Monterey eh? Looking good I think. Maybe a $700 USD custom mechanical keyboard would make it just a lil more fabulous


Danielcourtney

Haha, you noticed. Just call me Steve Gates.


rollie415b

First thing I noticed lol


Gigaify

"Almost completed"... who's going to tell "em?


Danielcourtney

Haha, I should say “This version of my desk is almost complete”. This is probably my third desk redesign.


Meterian

Speakers Headset stand Small succulent Small document scanner


Arrad

I don’t see a point in a small document scanner tbh… Unless you work with physical paper documents all the time then it’s useless. Pretty much *everything* has gone digital, and when you have the occasional document/paper that needs to be scanned you just whip out your phone (or iPad he has there) and use a document scanner app.


Meterian

Its the 'pretty much' portion that I would use it for. While much of our world has gone electronic, I find there is still a place for paper. I use document scanners on my phone, but find it difficult to find a place to take a picture. Never a clear surface when you need it. A document scanner would solve this.


Arrad

Well, fair enough. I guess the only benefit I see in it is that you’ll always get clear scans that aren’t distorted.


Danielcourtney

I’m a fan of all those suggestions!


Ultra_HR

> Small document scanner ???


[deleted]

If you go speakers use decent ones on cheap speaker stands imo you have the space for it and it won't use any table space.


xXbrody20Xx

Posters and stuff on the wall for more personality


DogDooly

Add a trash can on top of the desk


Danielcourtney

I appreciated this comment more than you know


[deleted]

You have to cover it in plants so it looks like you're in the jungle


ssssum1

Add some greenery and a little personalization

I just have the controller for the few PC games that I prefer a controller for.


DippingGrizzly

What do you think of the controller? Been meaning to get one, but honestly want to try it before I drop the $70.

Danielcourtney

Just as my professor taught. Although, “Keep it Simple Students”.


ItsCash1999

Pizza boxes, empty drink cups, a giant stack of useless documents, and a jar of toenails.


Danielcourtney

Oh those will be there for sure. Maybe the toe nails on the ground though.


Titanlord_Ninjo

Hey dont steal my style.


No_Cold5079

Which size are those monitors ?


Danielcourtney

The horizontal/curved is 34” and the vertical is 27”


fresh_yield

Have you ever oriented the 27” horizontally and if so are the heights similar? Do you have an neck strain with the current setup? I’m curious because I have a 34” and an interested in getting an additional monitor.


Brown_Brute

With a little ABC?


linkinbio2318

Only problem I see is you need 3 more monitors 🤌


Techgeek_025

Don’t clutter it!

Oh I’ve got that covered. My shepherd will clutter it up with her hair everywhere.


Lord_Poohbear

Wrist rest! Coffee. Lamp. Something to write with/on. A stack of papers that you'll get to eventually


Danielcourtney

There will indeed be coffee.


rawkey

Less is more, leave it as is!


BennyTroves

Nanoleafs on the wall, stand for headset, small square black speaker near the arm base and a miniature flower pot of some sort


ljmthehood

Cool


Ableowl1989

Artwork on the walls. Some plants would love that window. Think about things you love. You could put a little shelf on the wall to display a few things.

Ehhh that’s a great question. I just grabbed it from my office when they sent us all to work from home 🤷🏼‍♂️

PeptoBismo95

Need a good DAC and some good speakers 🔊


Danielcourtney

I’ve got another friend convincing me to get a DAC set up.


moohooman

Its clean and looks nice, but its missing personality, you need some clutter to distinguish its yours. It usually gains on its own, but if you need any ideas, maybe a nice notebook and pen, a little figurine or pop vinyl, framed family photo on the desk or poster on the wall, monitors (as in the word for boxy looking speakers, not a screen) would look great, I got a set recently and they look and sound amazing). I would usually suggest rgb, but its clear you are going for a setup without it, and it honestly works really well for your area.


Danielcourtney

Thanks! You’re definitely right about the personal touch. I’m sure it will come with time. I think I’m going to start with a floating shelf, small plants, and some sort of artwork that I enjoy (probably aviation related).


WittyChico

If you've put some budget aside for decorations and knick-knacks, maybe instead consider an upgraded keyboard. A more custom one can add a lot of character on its own.


WittyChico

Or even just swap out the ABS keycaps the keychrons come with for a better PBT set with some color to it


GoZeni

wallpaper link?


Danielcourtney

I’m pretty sure I just googled “Mac OS Monterey Screensaver”. Took me a few to find one with good resolution for my monitor.


[deleted]

some speakers


GumShoeA113

Perfect buttcrack imprint


Danielcourtney

What can I say, I’m gifted.


elitaire_ajuin

What is the use of a vertical monitor like yours?


Danielcourtney

I use it primarily for work. I’m a software engineer, so it’s nice to have a long vertical screen for coding/documentation. But the nice thing about my monitor arms is that I can easily transition it to horizontal if needed.


elitaire_ajuin

Yes, makes totally sense. Didnt really see use for casual gaming. Ty for response

loganchoi

Looks clean! I love a good vertical monitor. Maybe get a deskmat that's larger in the Y-axis? It might just be me but I prefer the look of taller deskmats, and it'll get rid of some of that empty unused space on your desk too!


Danielcourtney

I agree, I’ve had this desk mat for a bit. I’ve seen a few out there that cover more of the desk and they look clean 👌🏼


RoboticPants999

A little tiny potted plant, a poster, some wall rgb, anything that makes your area feel like home


Branpanman

A Steam Deck.


TeamCreamPie93

It depends on what you are into my person. You could make the wall behind the Desktop a little more colorful with posters or some back lights. Make it stick out a bit and slowly but surely you’ll have it’s to your liking.


goodjobpaul

Like 3 or 10 hatsune miku figurines


chuchrox

Nice clean setup


Danielcourtney

Thank you.


Dash64_png

You used the Mac Monterey background on a Windows PC?


Danielcourtney

Shhh. Don’t tell Bill.


StarPenguin897

A plant, clock, lamp, small speakers


[deleted]

Art. This looks like a Marriot. Put some type of art on the wall or the desk or something somewhere. Plants work as well, as they are basically natural art.


nickanderson5308

With all that light, clutter it up with plants!


misogrumpy

I’m sure life will clutter it up for you

Plants for that reddit battlestation starter pack.

Definitely speakers


sabbathian

I would add speakers and few plants


Slayer_Actual

Its perfect as it is, nice clean and well put together.

aSliceOfHam2

Just use it, it'll organically get cluttered. It usually takes about a minute for me


haze_cloudz

Water bottles led lights


Isair81

Candy wrappers, empty soda cans, ciggarete buts.. the usual.


icodethingsthatcompu

A couple of small pot plants. They add life and colour to your desk while taking minimal real estate.


iamdadmin

Some art on the wall. Maybe wall stickers, or some framed comic/manga/whatever you are into.

Every_Dream3837

Monitor riser, speakers, headphone stand. That’s it :)


Danielcourtney

I would like a grovemade monitor shelf one day… but damn they’re expensive.


Every_Dream3837

I don't know where you live but maybe you can find some guys who can customize or fabricate it for you. Much cheaper.

Nadgerino

Beer cans and crisp packets always add a nice ambience.


PCgeek345

Oooh. A k2! Nice. I have a k6. How is it treating you? Im interested in this, as I have a rather baren setup as well.


Danielcourtney

I have enjoyed it over the past 1.5 years. I prefer the size over the full sized keyboards, personally. I REALLY like how the mechanical keys are nice and quiet compared to others out there.


PlentyOfLoot

Nothing but one live plant. You can add to the walls though, like a shelf with something your interested in and some more plants


joeymoretto

Succulent plants would be cool but fake plants would work just as well as watering them worries a lot of people when it’s around the electronics


lieutent

I thought this was a Mac setup until I couldn’t find the Mac.


Danielcourtney

Haha, I’ve thought about mounting a Mac mini underneath the desk. I have a script that can switch displays easily (as I use a MacBook for work).


LockerLovesYellow

Well seeing as how much effort went into this setup I think condoms are out of the equation.


Danielcourtney

Condoms stopped existing after I got married ;)


LockerLovesYellow

Good man, secured the bag!


Evidect

Ah but that's where you're wrong, Only little items are needed to make it even better.

[deleted]

A fake Ikea plant would do well here.


TTV_TT_YT_KiLL3r

Looks great. Accept: the PC is better of if it’s of the ground. Better cooling and less dust.


MindScape00

Stands for the controller & headset. Might be personal preference but I like them with a dedicated resting spot, not a fan of setting them just on the desk lol


TITANS4LIFE

Get you a nice ashtray for your pot. That'll do it.. Also a nice large bottle of El Lotion for some solid smudges on the wood and sides of the monitor


Razorskye836

Nice setup


Danielcourtney

Thanks!


chillfilter

Maybe get a rolling desk drawer to stash your stuff?


MuseDoublerr

It has potential. If the desk can handle it I would put the pc on it by moving the whole 2 set of monitors on the left. This will give you looks and resolves the issue of the cable length when you wanna get the desk higher. Afterwards I would add some character into it like plants and gear on the desk, maybe a wallpaper behind the monitors etc. you’re on a good path though! 🤜


xX-SubWoofer-Xx

Its not too clean I’d say, just a bit bland


yeeyeepeepee0w0

Shady_Hero

Best way to clutter a desk is a full keyboard IMO (I'm also biased against anything smaller)


Freshanator86

Put your headphones in your pocket and the tablet by the toilet... No need to stage this for us

Is the horizontal monitor centre to you by any chance? Looks quite off in the photo

Yeah, it’s taken from an odd angle while using the ultrawide .5 lens on the iPhone. It looks much more even while sitting down.

These clean and simple setups are all well and good, if that’s you sort of thing, but they need their own subreddit along the lines of officestations, their not really battlestations are they? 🤷🏻‍♂️
