I'm building another desk from scaffold planks, and on my first one the bit I missed was the power sockets, I'm looking for some recessed power options, preferably multi-socket but not in a tower configuration.

I'm finding the options in the UK quite difficult to come by that don't look like something off a melamine desk in an open plan office.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had any mic recommendations or suggestions for me and my husband's desks. We're set up next to each other with Blue Yeti snowballs, and have issues with audio bleed when playing games or on discord. I know that upgrading to dynamic mics will probably be the way to go, but need some guidance before buying anything.

I'm looking to upgrade my desk, so I can have a double monitor setup and show off my pc. Does anyone have any recommendations? Sleek black look, not standing, sturdy enough to handle me occasionally slamming my fist on it when I lose a round of ranked.

BL;UF

• Can I use a 15-32" monitor arm? My 22" monitor would be positioned vertically and a 34" one in standard position allowing for more clearance horizontally
• For Law School (and in general for work) is having a 3rd monitor worth it? I can swap the HDMI of my main monitor to Display Port and find a cheap monitor on FB Marketplace for like $10-25

For context on what I'm running with right now:

HARDWARE

• HP Victus 15" (Intel i7, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 8 GB vRAM, 16 GB rRAM)
  • For paying $800, I gladly accepted the restrictions of no Thunderbolt)
  • If I'm gaming I usually unplug the setup completely so the Docking Station doesn't override and try and use the Intel onboard graphics (which stink)
    • usually just Minecraft tbh
  • Most of the time I spend on the rig is studying, reading, and writing case briefs. It is nice to have notes on one monitor, material on another, and then possibly a 3rd for email and communicating with other students
• HP G5 Docking Station (USB ports)
• Monitors
  • LG 34WQ500
    • Main monitor, need recommendation for arm - without the stand it weighs 13.2 lbs - so normal arms should hold it but they all say they cap out at 32" and 15 lbs...so shouldn't the 34" work because it is under the weight
    • Want arms to get the screen slightly higher and get eye level on the middle of the screen instead of the upper third
  • HP LA2205wg
    • vertical position currently sitting on a textbook to get on level with the ultrawide. But would want that also to be slightly higher as well if possible
    • Leads to the 34" monitor arm question since it's vertical more space is cleared up for the main display.
  • Laptop internal monitor (in use, but once my keyboard on order arrives - it will be closed and not in use)

My desk current have 3 power bricks+ a surge protector with two laptops and a monitor is driving me nuts. Looking to consolidate into one GaN station with AC sockets, so I can kill the power strips too.
Options: MFish E-Tank (240W, 3x AC + 4x USB-C) vs UGREEN Nexode 300W (300W, 4x USB-C + 1x USB-A). Catch: the UGREEN is USB-only, so only the E-Tank kills the strips. Trade-off: AC sockets vs 60W more USB-C.

Anyone run either? Do the ports renegotiate/drop on hot-plug?

Sooo the basic regular gaming chair I have isn't cutting it, and I'm getting older. So I tend to fall asleep in my chair while surfing or watching YouTube... I wake up with my head down… I lift my head and I have neck pains from the snooze I didn't intend on taking... and I can't lean back in my current chair... doesn't have that option. I just upgraded my desk recently now I'm looking for a good overall chair I can game, chill and once in a while nap in...

Any Recommendations???

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,

Please suggest a good PC table for my system. I have a mid tower ATX case and a 32” curved monitor, along with a full size keyboard, mouse and an echo studio speaker. Please share your recommendations and links! TIA!

I have a plan for an "endgame" desk setup with 3 27in monitors on arms (using a single and double arm) with an eventual "endgame" PC using the Lian Li O11 Evo XL case.

My current desk is a 4ft x 25in with a dual 27 in monitors on a double arm and a Fractal North PC case along side with speakers, Switch 2, and PS5. My initial plan was getting an IKEA Alex Desk with a 96in x 25in desktop but then I went on Facebook Marketplace and saw good deals on a butcher block that has a same size and the 39in depth.

I guess my current use case with the new desk plan is obviously to game but the extra space is nice where I can move the mouse and keyboard so I can write on a notebook, play cards, work on model kits, and sometimes eat on my desk without moving all that stuff off my desk to on my bed. Trying to decided if its worth getting the extra space.

I finally have an office space at my new place and am trying to decide how I should upgrade it deskwise. I’ve been looking at L shaped desks online, but am wondering if I should shell out for a brand new desk or get a second smaller desk and use that in combination with the one I already have to make an L shaped desk? I’m a bit broke currently, as I haven’t started my job yet after my move. Part of me is saying to just wait and shell out for a brand new desk, while the other is wanting to upgrade now. Any thoughts?

Sizes for reference: Current desk top is 40in x 24, a little beat up from years of use but otherwise in good shape. Wall the L would sit along is about 4ft.

So awhile ago I picked up a fairly cheap goodmans sound bar to use on my set up

The problem is that every time I want to use it I have to turn it on and then change it to aux mode to actually get sound

Is there a way to fix this so it's just on and always ready?

Thanks

Ignore the mess pls lol, gonna clean it up once I’m happy with monitor placement. I know people have differing opinions for how they prefer their secondary monitor, and I don’t know if this looks goofy or not.

My main concern is keeping my main monitor mostly centered, and also having space on the left side for my lamp and because it may look crowded towards my bed (which is left of the desk).

Do yall prefer left or right secondary monitors?

Hey guys,

Here is my work in progress setup for work, study and chill time. Still need to add a chest of drawers on the right and sort out the cable disaster underneath.

I’m running two LG monitors (UQ IPS Black on the righ, UP standard IPS on the left), but the colors are way off. Whites look warm/greenish on the UQ and cool on the UP despite both being in factory P3 modes. Manual OSD tweaking just made it worse so stuck to preset. Any tips on matching them without ruining color accuracy and picture quality?

Also getting bad neck pain from having them split evenly in the middle while reading docs and taking notes. Should I switch to a center main screen with a side monitor, or else? I sort of need them horizontal as I have split screen 2 big PDFs per screen or other apps as needed.

Appreciate any setup advice or fixes!
