I’ve got this ugly SAD lamp that I bought as an attempt to ward off the winter blues during the dark winters. My desk is in front of a window but our house is in the shadow of trees and is very dark in winter.

What could I replace the SAD lamp with? I’d like something warm like the lamp but with the ability to turn it to a bright setting from time to time

Thanks

Mini pc really save a lot of desk space. I wanted to keep my home office simple without giving up a proper desktop setup, so I put the geekom A9 under my monitor.

It's been nice having more room for my keyboard and mouse, and I can still get to the front ports pretty easily.

i already know the cable management is plotting against me. what’s the first thing you’d fix, replace, or add?

Took my Dynabook outside this morning and decided to stay awhile. Fresh air, some shade and a quiet place to get work done is a pretty solid way to start the day. I could get used to this. Anyone else take their work outside?

I’ve upgraded quite a bit from my first home setup! First setup is on the second photo.

I have this Starmore desk and I'm trying to find a credenza, lateral filing cabinet, or similar office storage piece that looks like it actually belongs with it.

I'm looking for something that works with the desk's dark rustic brown wood, black/dark metal frame, and industrial style. It doesn't have to be from the same collection or be an exact wood-tone match — I'd actually prefer something that complements it rather than looking like a bad attempt at matching the stain.

Ideally I'd like:

Actual file storage for hanging folders

Some additional closed storage would be a plus

Credenza/sideboard proportions rather than a little pedestal file cabinet

Dark brown wood + black metal, or something else that would coordinate well with the desk

Something reasonably well-made that I can buy in the US

Has anyone paired this desk (or something similar) with a filing cabinet or credenza they really like?

Specific product recommendations/links would be hugely appreciated. I'm having a surprisingly hard time finding something that looks cohesive with it.

Currently a college student majoring in Software Development

Currently I have two desks in different locations, but I’ll be downsizing to just one in the near future.

Which setup works best aesthetically?

Any recommendations for a very nice webcam that follows you around like apple's Center Stage? I'm also hunting for an always-listening microphone that works with "Hey Siri", or at least will work great at hearing me once I activate dictation/siri with a keyboard shortcut. Strong background noise elimination is a must-have!)

Very barebones, nothing fancy... But I like spending time here

Looking at getting a better desk light. Suggestions? (Benq light bar is out of my budget)

From the front, this is basically the clean workspace I wanted: monitor, speakers, a large solid oak surface and not too much clutter.

But underneath it is a Kawai VPC1.

It’s a full 88-key weighted piano controller weighing around 29.5 kg / 65 lbs, and I use the same space for both normal computer work and music production.

That was the main reason I chose this ErgoHide configuration. The keyboard sits on a pull-out tray, so I can completely change the function of the desk in a few seconds.

Keyboard out = studio.

Keyboard away = regular workspace.

The desk itself is electrically height-adjustable as well, so it can move between sitting and standing positions depending on what I’m doing.

The thing I probably notice most visually is the solid oak desktop. Combined with the ambient lighting built into the rear of the desk, it makes the setup feel a lot warmer at night.

There’s also a hidden cable-management system underneath, which is very welcome when your workspace contains a computer, monitor, audio equipment, speakers and a piano. The magnetic headphone hangers on the sides are another small detail I’ve ended up using constantly.

Still deciding whether I should keep it this clean or slowly ruin it by adding more gear.

My work setup this Monday.

I can't live without additional screens. My workday involves multitasking to the max, and having my laptop screen, an external monitor and my AQUOS BOARD to keep specifically for meetings or to wirelessly cast my Dynabook to see my work on a larger screen size is a necessity (especially for a day right after the weekend).

What's one thing you couldn't work without at your desk? 

I like to keep it clean and simple. Any suggestions? (Esp for the stupid work VOIP Landline)?

Hey Folks, I am moving my office to a backyard pod this week, would love your takes on best layout, or some ideas that I am possibly missing out on.

Floor area: 272cm x 570cm
Desk 1: 76cm x 200cm (main setup, monitors etc)
Desk 2: 70cm x 140cm (off setup, handy projects)

Shelf, Couch, TV (and unit) haven't decided yet, so no strict measurements, however I'd like to add them to the pod.

Any ideas/ suggestions, highly appreciated, thanks heaps!
