I’m thinking about covering the area behind the monitors with these

Opinions?

>tfw Windows users need multiple monitors because their operating system's window management facilities are just so bad

>>64278096
nice try you freefag

we all know multiple monitors is purely aesthetic that serves no functionality

>>64278043

Post wallpapers pls

Actually i use all 4 most of the time
The center for gaming
The right for looking up game info
the left for temp gauges and discord and the top for vid playback
:P

the last wallpaper is wallpaper engine vid wallpaper

>>64278096
windows has workspaces you know

>>64278060
first time i've seen a build in that little vertical case. I think the form factor is really interesting but i'm not a big fan of the tempered glass meme

>>64279005
for factor is cramped and annoying

>>64278275
It doesn't gave proper tiling, though.

>>64278096
>pressing key commands like it's 1995

Someone in the old thread asked what the speakers are, so I guess I'll write it here as the thread got archived. The model is Poмaнтикa 10AC-207. They are nearly 30 years old, yet they sound better than new speakers for 20 times their price.

>>64279220
in what way?

>>64278090

What's that desk bro?

>>64279671
not when they're 5 feet above your head, too close together and pointing straight out into the room

>>64279836
just a really small case. literally hurts your fingers trying to squeeze in there to get that perfect cable management, also had to do some cutting to fit my specific cooler in right. its nice now its all together but i swear to god at first it didn't even seem possible. had to really jam the PSU in and was almost 100% convinced it was somehow a few mm too long

>>64279845
It's an Ikea countertop: (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70335212/#/50335208). I used black sch. 40 pipes for the legs attached to the bottom with flanges and used a reducer for the 'feet' so it wouldn't mess up my floor. About $200 depending on how cheep you can the leg materials.

>>64279934

how stable is it? im considering a similar setup for my triple monitor setup, but im concerned that it wobbles like a motherfucker

>>64279922
yeah that isn't good, you shouldn't have to cut shit to make it fit when the case is supposed to be designed for it. I wonder if the taller version has more room in it. too bad, I thought the slim vertical profile looked neat

>>64279956
I went with 30"x1/2" pipe for the legs which I think has a big mistake. There's not an obscene amount of movement (maybe 1/4" off centerline left or right) but it's enough to be annoying. I can't decide if I want to redo it with either 26"x1" (or maybe more) legs or if I want to throw a tee in the middle of the back legs and run a lateral support.

>>64279934
>>64279956

Damn. I have an IKEA desk that I hate because it fucking wobbles too much.

>>64280022
taller version is way too tall unless you are doing full custom loop.

and nah the case is amazing quality my cooler just had some unusual parts on it that most dont.
quality of the case is top tier but don't buy if you don't have patience

also
>implying cutting stuff is bad
cman /g/

>>64279852
I know you are right, but I am not allowed to drill any more holes in the walls as I am renting the flat. I'll probably arrange them differently when I move out.

>>64280088

which desk do you have?

>>64280128

Ikea Bekant (Black) it's already falling apart

>>64280336
What do you do to your desks? I've had a Galant with T-legs (Bekant's predecessor) and it's still in great condition after almost a decade.

>>64278043
Feels to me like the monitors are maybe a little too close ? It's a bit a oppressing

>>64278060
Comfy, nice monitor and your case is interesting

>>64279550
Very comfy anon

>>64280350

Idk the desk just wobbles it's annoying.

Hellooooo

>>64280042
>>64279956
Yeah, so I decided to run it though a quick FEA (because I'm too lazy to do it by hand) like I should have in the first place. I'm using a "no slip"ish condition where the legs are pinned to restrict lateral movement but not support any bending which is observable when I wiggle my desk. I measured my leaning weight and added a 1.2 dynamic amplification factor and rounded up for good measure and arbitrarily placed the 50 lb load in arbitrarily near the middle. Surprisingly I got exactly what I eyeballed earlier without fudging any numbers so I think this run is validated. Give me a minute and I'll tell you what size leg you need for minimal wobble.

>>64280408
That sag finally fixed?

>>64280433

basws, could you test a setup like this as well >>64280408 (nice station btw)

>>64280455
The sag was like 2 desks ago now, love this solid wood!

>>64278090
I wouldn't, dusting would be a nightmare and it would throw off the clean look you've got.

>>64279325
That thing is huge. I like it.

>>64279550
This kinda makes feel a little claustrophobic

>>64280408
Simple yet elegant

>>64280433
1" Sch.40 gives you .1" displacement. That would still be noticeable for sure. Moving up to 1 1/2" reduces it to 0.013". Pretty solid, I don't think you'd notice it.
Moving up to 2" gives 0.006" displacement, which I would classify as not worth the extra weight and money. Unless you get triggered by the slightest movement, 0.013" is my recommendation and what I'll likely do sometime in the future.

Also, if you look at the bending pattern a lateral brace would not be effective for how much it would cost. Cross bracing would be a better alternative You could put an eye into the bottom of the table at each leg and make an X pattern to apply sort of a pre load. If done right it might look okay, but it would probably look shitty.

>>64280465
What are you trying to test, specifically?

>>64280530
I didn't think about the dust. A can of air might work. It probably looks better in my head and would turn out tacky though. I want to copy the aesthetic of the one anon's room with the embedded timelapse in his setup picture with the fish tank and high altitude helmet.

>>64280714

could you elaborate cause im retarded. Are you saying 1" 1/2" as in leg diameter are best in terms of stability?

>>64280770
Yeah sorry I mistyped at the end. A 2" leg is twice as stable, but we're talking about moving 0.013" with a 1 1/2" leg vs 0.006" with a 2" leg. I think it's fair to say that difference is indistinguishable. However, the extra cost and weight of the 2" leg is noticeable, definitely diminishing returns. So, in my opinion the right choice is a 1 1/2" leg.

I also just realized I did everything at 30" leg length. I didn't run it at 26" like I was thinking about earlier. If you go down to 26" any diameter you choose will move less than what I simulated. My recommendation still stands though.

>>64280863

awesome, thanks for the work

>>64280714
>>>64280530
It seems like you've got a big enough desk, why don't you get one or two small potted plants that are low maintenance or build a terrarium. I think it would compliment your setup better then a wall full of fake leaves.

>>64280878
No problem, that'll be $10,000
>>64280882
I like the terrarium idea a lot. Or maybe a bonsai tree.

>>64280907
Bonsai tree would work, less is more for a nicer area. I had a bunch of crap set up that I thought was cool and it just overall made it look like shit.

>>64278090
Looks slick, where is the light coming from? Is it angled and coming from under the desk? On the screens?

Back in bussiness, will rate everyone, hate/rate me.
>>64278043
Looks comfy AF, little messy, but I like it like that. Also love your Haruhi poster :3

Productivity/10, not a fan of Macs, but whatever works for you, keeping a clean desk helps with concentration (I use this tip at school and at the library).

>>64281505
My desk, used to play only normiewatch on it, but it'ś getting boring so waiting for a new drive for my x230 to play some MMO's on the go as my 128gb is already full.
x230 is running mint for anyone interested, might try Manjaro again soon.

Any tips on making my station look better?

>>64280408
HE FIXED THE SAG

oof

im going to the hardware store to get sum led strips.
gotta have mood lighting for my hentai

>>64282386
WHy not get some moodlights from the chinks, gets me in the mood for getting the game on with my daki's.

>>64281558

First time poster, left screen doesn't have vesa so I can't mount it. I am also planning on building a desk when summer rolls around.
Can post close ups of something if you guys want...


>>64280408

First setup in a new house. Any tips?

>>64282402
it works, i have lights!

Anyone else too ashamed of their dirty room to post a picture?
I keep my desk and PC pristine but the wall behind it is covered in cobwebs and peeling paint.

>>64282933
3 sets of 6 post-its to the left is all math formulas.
Then I have a page which is for stuff due this week, one for longer tasks, one is for test dates.

My poor excuse for trying to be organized...

>>64283008
Microphone arm maybe. They are very convenient and they fit those Snowball Dildos, just not "officially".

Meh.

Works for me.

>>64283016
Looks dope, better than waiting for the chinks to ship it.
Post entire setup :3

>>64282797
Idk dude, I don't really pay attention to the feel of a drawer when I open them lmao

>>64283026
I'm interested, pls post pics!

My desk is only a half inch thick. How can I fix cables/power strip to the bottom? Is 30lb double-sided tape enough when including the cables pulling at the strip?

>>64283168
maybe this video works.
nice colors but i like purple.

>>64283481
Looks dope, you should post this on Reddit for internet fame.

>>64283498

>>64281505
>>64281334
The strip is on the underside of the monitor. I wanted it to be able to function like a lamp

>>64278022

>>64281542
Weebs when will they learn

>>64283436
Is it wood or glass? Put some screws in to mount the power bar and screw some clips in so you have something to mount to if you can't get ties around your desk legs.

Better yet, show us what your desk looks like.

Books everywhere, standing mode engaged.

>>64285437

>>64287344

>>64288035
Would you recommend that scope for bird spotting too pls

>>64288187
Nah, it's a long discontinued Weaver tactical mildot scope from the 90's. It has a very narrow field of view and isn't suited for much besides putting holes in paper at long distances. You'd be better off with something like an Alpen 20-60x80, Vortex 20-60x80, etc. You can get a lot for your money if you want a dedicated spotting scope.

>>64288223
Sweet, will look into it

>>64287723

Been running dd-wrt for years, with a current uptime of 936 days.

Man you can't even have fake sugar now?

>>64289236
Aspartame scare is 90s mom-tier bullshit.

The only actual negative side effect is you end up storing more fat if you consume artificial sweeteners with food because the sweetness tricks your body into producing more insulin.

>>64289578
even that isn't true
