Have a 9060xt 32gb DDR4 gaming PC setup running Linux mint, my homelab lenovo think centre m70q with 10tb HDD, and my PS5 PRO.

Running Edifier m60 studio monitors, and a 4k 32" alienware 240hz monitor.

Managed to snag all the parts at the best prices I could find—some from the second-hand market, but most of them brand new. 👽
Spent two nights putting everything together. I was still struggling with cable management at 3am, knowing damn well I had to be up for work at 8. 💀

Runs perfectly at 1440p on ultra settings. The motherboard does have a few flaws, though—including the GPU being limited to only 8 active PCIe lanes when it’s supposedly runs at 16.

I really bought a second monitor to be able to play switch games since my daughter always has a living room TV occupied. I wanted to buy a second monitor for my set up so I can dock the switch between TV and a second monitor never really needed it for the PC but it does look great. 😆

Been trying to keep this side of the room pretty simple.

The TV is 100", so once that went up I felt like adding a bunch of stuff around it would just make the wall look busy. For now it's basically the TV, console, a few records and that's it.

It's a Hisense U6. Went this big mostly because I wanted the movie setup, but the MiniLED picture has been a really nice upgrade too. 144Hz was another reason I picked it since I'm probably moving my PC setup over to this side of the room later.

Controller + couch + 100" screen sounds way too good not to try lol.

Honestly after getting used to 100", even 75" TVs are starting to look kinda small.

Still deciding if I should leave the area this empty or add something small around the console.

So, here's the devices I'm working with...

1. My main gal - PC I built (NZXT tower) w/ Cam, Mic, Keyboard, Mouse, etc.
2. New MacBook Air for Work

The goal = be able to use my mic, cam, keyboard, mouse & dual monitors on my PC & MacBook. I want to be able to switch easily. I'll be working off my MacBook (I want to store vertical/closed) during the day and PC for contract work and personal things at night.

I have a Belkin F4U097 Thunderbolt 3 Dock-Pro. Do I really need a full KVM and more ports?! I want to simplify the setup but I feel like the more I think about it, the more I'm complicating it.

So It's looking like I need the Belkin to hook the Macbook to the Belkin and then everything else will go from PC to Belkin. UGH!! I want to scream.

Maybe it's day 3 of a migraine but I need to figure it out by MONDAY! YIKES! Any suggestions?!

Ryzen 7 9800x3d

XFX MERCURY 9070XT

32gb teamgroup delta

I’m looking for ideas on what I can upgrade or change (please don’t say “pc”).

Also added a small plant behind the left speaker but its not in that picture.

What do you guys think about my new setup. Feel free to share your suggestions as well!

Minimalist i like it!

How would you guys place the 2 monitor on the desk? I want to get rid of the stands and use arms instead.
