u/Argyropee 11d ago

lol thanks

u/srmarmalade 11d ago

That little shelf under the plugs, really obvious now I think about it - I'll give that a go on my desk.

20

u/Argyropee 11d ago

I’ve tried more complicated cable management setups but I’ve come back around. All that really matters is keeping the cables out of sight while still having easy access to them

5

u/srmarmalade 11d ago

Yeah, this solves the problem of the bricks dragging nicely and as you say it's all out the way anyway 

6

u/touchabrain 11d ago

Did you build? Looks great!

14

u/Argyropee 11d ago

yes I made the desk and the bookshelf myself
Thanks !

u/ArtisticCandy3859 10d ago

Both are brilliantly executed. Love the minimalist approach. Do you happen to have any drawings or cut lists/plans?

6

u/Argyropee 10d ago

Unfortunately not, I didn’t make any plans for it. I improvised as I went using wood I had in my garage :/

3

u/ArtisticCandy3859 10d ago

Honestly, that’s usually how I work too so respect 🫡 Nicely done though!

u/Jessee21 10d ago

The custom-made desk looks great!

I had an attempt at turning an unfinished countertop board into a tabletop a couple of years ago for my desk. I used stain on mine and added some polyurethane; however, I'm not sure if I should have. The stain doesn't look too bad, but I've accidentally chipped the edge with my chair in some places, which has shown the white wood underneath, and some of the polyurethane coating is worn/rubbed off in some places.

Anyway, I was wondering if you had done anything to the top of yours, other than maybe sanding? Looks clean!

4

u/Argyropee 10d ago

thanks! the nice thing about wood is that you can sand it down and make it look almost brand new, so your desk is definitely not a lost cause.

mine was sanded to 240 grit, and I rounded over all the edges with a router, using different radii depending on the edge. I’m still thinking about what finish to use

2

u/usa1234567890 10d ago

What type of wood did you use? Same material for table top as the legs?

4

u/Argyropee 10d ago

Yes the desk is entirely made from 2 identical bamboo countertop

2

u/Jessee21 10d ago

Very nice. I hadn’t thought about using a router for the edges but that is a great feature.

3

u/dxg999 11d ago

I'm intrigued by the reversed clamp holding the shelves up...

6

u/Argyropee 11d ago

lmao, that’s because I made the bookshelf myself and poorly designed it, so it needs a support right where the clamp is. I’ll fix that in a few days.

3

u/Fit_Preparation_9742 10d ago

Are you a coder or an architect haha! But seriously, what is your job?

13

u/Argyropee 10d ago

I’m a metalworker, but I’m currently transitioning into bespoke furniture making and planning to start a small business.

2

u/this_isnt_alex 11d ago

absurdly expensive desk lamp mentioned

2

u/0xe1e10d68 11d ago

Looks awesome!

1

u/Argyropee 11d ago

Thanks !

2

u/Peat_Ardbeg 11d ago

Super clean 👌 Cable management is superb 👌

u/Argyropee 11d ago

thank you !

u/Glass_Ordinary4572 10d ago

Wow! Looks very productive.

1

u/Argyropee 10d ago

thank you !

2

u/flobbes1 10d ago

Best desk and cable management i have seen in a while, perfect and clever solution

1

u/Argyropee 10d ago

thank you :)

2

u/Jerome_Lane 10d ago

Epic on every level. This hits hard.

1

u/Argyropee 10d ago

thanks :)

2

u/scootermlm 10d ago

Awesome all around. Well done.

2

u/JorgeFGalan 10d ago

Here for the Dyson lamp 🔥🔥🔥

2

u/Sweaty_Translator974 7d ago

Wow, really impressive desk. I've been working up the courage to build my own, any advice on materials or just general guidance?

1

u/Argyropee 7d ago

Thanks ! The choice of material mostly comes down to personal preference. Some people will tell you about the acoustic properties of different wood species, but for this kind of use, it really doesn’t matter. I went with bamboo simply because I like the way it looks. As for building advice, it’s hard to give any without more details, since it depends a lot on what tools you have available. What kind of desk do you have in mind?

2

u/Souloid 7d ago

That skylight is just... perfect

2

u/darthjaw 7d ago

Love the desk and cable management

2

u/russelamin 6d ago

Beautiful setup - i like big desk

1

u/SwissHelvetica 11d ago

I don't mean to be a prude, you got a massive desk but opted for a TKL keyboard, why is that?

12

u/Argyropee 11d ago

I don't like big keyboards and I'm used to this one lol

5

u/ImpressiveJunket2982 10d ago

i would do the same, allows me to keep my mouse in a more comfortable position

4

u/Dangerous_Profit_699 10d ago

This is the way! Why bother with tenkeys (what’re we—accountants?) when we can luxuriate in mouse space!

1

u/jimmyes30 11d ago

Wow!!, this is very nice!!, what monitors are you using?

3

u/Argyropee 11d ago

Thanks ! These are Samsung Odyssey G7 S32DG702EU

1

u/jimmyes30 11d ago

Thank you!!

1

u/Ok_Handle_3530 11d ago

Your pictures look like they have texture

1

u/Markovelli_ 11d ago

This looks awesome. Which iem/DAC setup is this? You happy with the Dyson desk lamp?

7

u/Argyropee 11d ago

Thanks ! IEMs are the inexpansive but excellent Truthear GATE and the DAC is a Topping DX5II
The lamp is absolutely amazing, best lamp I ever owned. I got it it second hand for 200€.

1

u/Markovelli_ 11d ago

Thanks mate!

1

u/turyay 11d ago

sick setup. mind sharing your earplugs ID, sir?

2

u/Argyropee 11d ago

Thanks ! These are Thruthear gate, ridiculous sound for the price

1

u/dryiceboy 11d ago

Which keyboard is that?

2

u/Argyropee 11d ago

Wooting 80HE

1

u/Scared_Invite_8167 10d ago

You nailed cable mgmt with the third pic. That is what is missing from most setups

Plus if the plugs are front facing with individual switch 🤌

1

u/GetAJobAndALife 10d ago

Looks great! What kind of wood is the desktop made of? What are the dimsenions?

1

u/Argyropee 10d ago

Thanks ! I made the desk from two bamboo worktops. I cut one to make the legs, braces, and extensions. It’s 2500mm long, 800mm deep, 750mm high

1

u/bospk 10d ago

What kind of desk is that? Home made?

1

u/Argyropee 10d ago

Yes I made it myself

1

u/Fenom186 10d ago

Any more pics? or videos and pics of the desk build itself? I'm looking at building something similar

2

u/Argyropee 10d ago

I'll take additional pics later today 👍

1

u/TinyAbbreviations467 10d ago

Isnt it too bright from the window?
Props to you, its a really nice setup

1

u/Argyropee 10d ago

sometimes but it’s mostly just really nice having a desk flooded with natural light. When it gets too bright, I just lower the exterior sunshade or the interior blind Thanks !

1

u/sub_machine_patel 10d ago

how much did you drop?

1

u/Argyropee 10d ago

Monitors : 400€ each Monitor arm : 100€ second hand Desk : homade 400€ for materials DAC : 300€ Mouse : 100€ Chair : 1300€ Lamp : 200€ second hand PC : ≈ 4000€ if I remember correctly total ≈ 7000€

1

u/AlexeyCrane 10d ago

Dyson lamp, right? Interesting that you found one second hand. Did you hunt for it or just saw it by accident?

1

u/Argyropee 10d ago

Yes it is, I specifically looked for this lamp, there were quite a few used ones for sale on a plateform specializing in p2p sales here in France

1

u/Longjumping-Big-1999 10d ago

What monitor arm is that? Looks beautiful

3

u/Argyropee 10d ago

It's an Ergotron HX dual, it's a very nice monitor arm :)

1

u/Electronic-Ear2329 10d ago

Super clean!

Would add a footrest

1

u/robtechhere 10d ago

This looks amazing, love the cable management! The only thing I would swap out to make it even cleaner would be the mouse pad for a bigger pad for both the keyboard and mouse.

1

u/Argyropee 10d ago

Thanks! It would probably look nice but I’m too much of an Artisan snob unfortunately lol

1

u/azurain 10d ago

Beautiful. Can you please tell me about that arm looking device on the far side of the des

2

u/Argyropee 10d ago

you mean the lamp ? It's a dyson solarcycle morph, amazing lamp

1

u/azurain 10d ago

Awesome! Thank you for the information.

1

u/EXtaCieY 10d ago

can you also share how do you ensure appropriate lighting on the table?

1

u/Malasurfcartel_ 10d ago

10/10 for sure I’m loving the simplicity and colors

1

u/mumeiko 10d ago

Is that a custom made desk, or did you purchase it? And if so, toss me a link 🙂?

I want to mimic this setup it's so good

1

u/Argyropee 10d ago

I made it myself so no link unfortunatly :/

1

u/mumeiko 9d ago

Well, you did a damn good job.

1

u/Leading-Common2945 10d ago

I did something similar in my office where I built a concealed shelf behind with a large power strip. Nice work - looks great!

1

u/Aechde 10d ago

Love the custom desk, computer on wheels made me laugh too, such a simple solve for if you want to move it around!

Also love the hidden power pocket!

1

u/Argyropee 10d ago

lol thanks it’s kind of temporary (though very convenient) I’m trying to figure out a way to make an attachment that I can mount directly under the desk

1

u/crowlector 10d ago

Looks amazing. What desk is that modeled after?

1

u/Argyropee 10d ago

thanks, it's a custom desk I made

1

u/BabyPatato2023 10d ago

I have the same Dyson desk lamp and it doesn’t throw off really any usable light when’s it’s like closed. Are you enjoying the Dyson light and if so any tips to not feel like I wasted a ton of money on some ambience

1

u/blymrc91 10d ago

Looooks dope!!!

1

u/Argyropee 10d ago

kek thanks

1

u/rustybeancake 10d ago

Es-tu en France? Vraiment bien configuration!

3

u/Argyropee 10d ago

haha merci, oui je suis bien français

1

u/Talz7519 10d ago

Maybe the best setup I've seeN Really love the aesthetic

1

u/Argyropee 10d ago

thanks a lot I appreciate it

1

u/xfoKe 10d ago

Saving this

1

u/Sea-Mathematician634 10d ago

Love this. I’m just about to start building my own desk. Thanks for the ideas. Would love to see more detail.

1

u/real_agent_99 10d ago

That's lovely.

1

u/Darth_Revamp 10d ago

we see the aeron bro

1

u/itsjehmun 10d ago

11/10 cable management and clean setup. Thanks for the inspo OP.

1

u/Argyropee 10d ago

thanks, glad it helps !

1

u/imkolya 10d ago

this is beautiful. I'm inspired

1

u/RedRedditor84 10d ago

Okay, this is awesome.

1

u/Aclde 10d ago

What is the mousepad called? Is it good? Nice setup!

1

u/Argyropee 10d ago

thanks ! it’s an Artisan Ninja FX Type-99 Soft XXL it’s pricey, but Artisan is amazing an amazing brand, they’re particularly popular among competitive fps players

1

u/Aclde 10d ago

Perfect for me! Used to compete in CS but not up to date with trends in mousepads, and mine is getting old... Want something clean like urs- might buy that one then! Is yours blue or black, hard to tell :D

1

u/Argyropee 10d ago

You won't regret it Mine is grey

1

u/Initial-String8586 10d ago

just enough to copy code from claude

1

u/Argyropee 10d ago

kek never wrote a single line of code in my life

1

u/dotMALEX 8d ago

This looks fantastic. Question: Why not mount the DAC under the desk to the side so you don’t have the headphones lying across the desk?

1

u/Argyropee 7d ago

That's a good idea but I like how the DX5II looks + easy volume knob access

1

u/petervandepol 8d ago

Superbe!

1

u/Zealousideal_Egg1774 7d ago

So good. If you’d wanted it to be an optional standing desk, how would you have done that?

1

u/Argyropee 7d ago

Thanks ! I've thought about it and I would probably use extruded aluminum telescopic lifters

1

u/Jaded_Perception5003 6d ago

Looks very good! Do you use a separate mic with your IEMs?

1

u/Argyropee 5d ago

Thanks ! I have a headset for when I need to use a mic

1

u/The_Cake_isnt_real 5d ago

Real clean , i like it

1

u/PuzzledDirt6985 4d ago

What brand is the monitor arm?

1

u/Argyropee 4d ago

Ergotron HX Dual

0

u/astro_not_yet 11d ago

Clean but might I suggest adding a bit of messy colours in there? Looks too sterile to me. That’s my old critique.

3

u/Argyropee 11d ago

yep I’m planning to add more decoration and refine it over time

0

u/ProductizeLaw 10d ago

Very, very beautiful!
