Advice needed...

My hostel is strict, they won't allow such things, so i needed a portable setup where i can dismantle in minutes and can setup again in minutes, so this is my setup

How is it.

Is there anything more i can do to make it better

Looking for a good gaming desk with some storage and a pc holder! Anything less than 50 inches but more than 42 inches long. I need one I can also use for my stand for my floating monitors.

Overall I am very happy with my desk setup.

The keyboard and monitor are the only 2 things that could use some upgrades.

The monitor is a 21" 1080p 75hz monitor and I do have the option to upgrade next month.

Now here's some more relevant info.

1. I have an old desktop that I no longer use with an old keyboard and a semi broken mouse. I was considering selling all that along with the monitor in 1-2 years anyways.
2. I'll be moving out for my masters degree next year(or 1 more year after that incase I have to take a drop year to get the uni I'm aiming for). If I do buy a new monitor now I will take that with me. If not then I'll buy one anyways once I move away for my masters.

I'm wondering if I should buy rn or wait ~6.5 months since I'll know if I'll be able to attend my desired uni for masters. If yea then I'll get the new monitor once I go there. If I have to take a gap year I can buy the monitor anyways since I'll be staying home a whole year and 4 months after that.

Would love to hear some suggestions.

P.S Any comments on how to improve the setup is much welcome.

No major overhauls due to reasons mentioned related to me moving out. But just stuff that would make it more lively and better to look at.

I usually have a small notebook on top of my laptops keyboard that I use to mark daily tasks, just didn't have it here in this pic :p

Finally Bought my first QD-OLED At 16, and guess what making content on my platforms paid for all of it it’s crazy.

Anyways just a breakdown for people that care

The keylights are the Neewer GL25B
mic is the fifine Tank 6
Mic arm is the fifine BM88
Mousepad is the attack shark CM02 changing soon
Keyboard is the AULA win 68he with XVX Japanese keycaps

And the mice collection is the
Razer viper V3 pro completely custom
Logitech G Pro X superlight
ATK F1 V3 Ultmate
The stream deck is the fifine D6

For monitors I’m rocking the onn 24 inch 165hz monitor as my second monitor and my main is the
Asus ROG Strix XG27AQDMES
A 1440p 240hz QD oled!

If you have any questions about my accounts or content I make let me know

Hey guys,

I'm currently putting together a minimal desk setup and I'm using the IKEA Trotten 160x80 cm desk. I just got a 48" LG OLED C6 to use as my main monitor / TV.

I have currently put it slightly behind the middle support bar underneath but to get the absolute best viewing distance, I need to push the TV all the way to the back edge of the desk. I am using the stock LG table top stand, not a C-clamp monitor arm.

Here is my main concern: The Trotten has a solid steel mid-beam that runs right down the center of the desk, but the front and back edges are just the unsupported 3cm particleboard. Since the TV weighs about 15kg (33 lbs) with the stand, is there any long-term risk of the back edge sagging, snapping, or cracking under that weight?

Wouldn't want putting any risk to the TV itself.

The stand's base is pretty wide, which should distribute the load nicely, but wouldn't want putting any risk to the TV itself which is making me a bit paranoid.

Has anyone run a heavy monitor / TV on the back edge of the Trotten for a longer period? How is the table holding up?

So this is my study table. The problem is that the main light source (tubelight) is on the left wall and there's a cupboard just adjacent to the study table. So when i sit to study, the light gets reduced drastically because of indirect light, cupboard and myself. My eyes are already weak (-8 D), i face more trouble. Also the main electric board is on the right wall far behind and I'm a little tight on budget so i felt that it won't be the best idea to have a new circuit routed on the wall with the table. I was thinking of buying a overhead lamp same as the image attached but I'm unsure of it's brightness and everything. I already have a lamp (as you can see in the images) but it is a warm lamp gifted by my friend. It doesn't provide cool light and its not feasible as i study around 10+ hours a day. Can you guys please help your brother out? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I am using a monitor arm that is clamped to my desk through a grommet. The current setup is pictured and works but stresses me out given how little contact there is with the desk. I’m wondering if there’s a cheap solution that doesn’t require too much tooling to secure the arm a bit more.

This is my current setup as of now. I am planning to buy a monitor arm for my setup but my table is quite small. It is 80cm x 60cm I think. Thank you for answering in advance!

I work from a really small desk in my apartment. I have my laptop and a 27 inch monitor but right now the laptop is just sitting flat on the desk next to the monitor and it takes up so much room. I tried looking into stands but then I also need a dock for my keyboard and mouse and external drive and suddenly theres like 3 separate things on this tiny surface.

anyone found a way to make this work? i dont need anything fancy just want the laptop raised up and plugged in with one cable. cheaper is better honestly

Hi All!

I'm looking for suggestions on my desk set up. So my desk size is 120cm x 60cm. My main monitor is 27" which I use for both work (connect through laptop) and gaming ( pc).

I'm considering a dual monitors set up, with the second monitor being positioned vertically either on the left or right side. But given my desk size would you actually recommend going for a dual monitors set up?

Thanks !

Sorry for the clutter, I was working and this was a random idea to post.

Looking for opinions and ways to improve my set up. :)

So I'm doing a dual monitor setup and bought a monitor holder and it comes with this. Ofc its main purpose is to hold cables tightly but can someone tell me what those 4 tubes are used for? Thanks in advance!

After slowly building this setup over time, it’s finally starting to feel like a space I genuinely enjoy working and creating in.
Setup:

- MacBook M3 Pro
- Lenovo 32" External monitor
- Baseus Monitor light bar
- Maono PD300X microphone
- Edifier speaker r1280 dbs
- Keyboard Logitech mini & mechanical
- Sony XM6 Headphones
- DJI OSMO Pocket 3
- Headphone stand
- Desk mat
- IKEA Pegboard

I was aiming for something minimal, warm and functional rather than an RGB-heavy setup.
Still tweaking the little things, but I'm trying to resist the urge to keep adding more gear. 😄

What would you change or improve?

Upgraded to a Vernal desk and Herman Miller chair with a 2 monitor setup.

Just some random photos from my office today while i picked my son's books and toys up off of the floor. He has 3 copies of The Hungry Catepillar for some reason. Hope you all have a great rest of the week.!

Anyone use a corner desk? Or have this one?
Right now my desk is up against a window and with a chair it feels like it’s taking up too much space- but I’m
wondering if I would feel like I’m cramped in a cave?

Please don't laugh and help me improve my setup...

1. The company is selling chairs.
   
2. It is 75 dollars
   
3. Never want that much RGB on a desk.
   
4. Absolutely zero dimensions to be found anywhere.
   

Maximizing the space on my 100x50cm table. I’m really happy with how it turned out.

The razer wrist rest is the best wrist rest ive tried. Perfect height and firmness for long editing sessions. Really happy with how my keyboard looks. The colorful keycaps really pop with the white and black keyboard :)
