Nice, organized, and clean. The only thing I don't particularly care for is the desk, and I'm just being picky. 8.5/10

So much empty space. Laptop with no peripherals. No audio equipment. Points were mainly given for the clean presentation 4.5/10

Fuck.

I need to check this shit with the doctors because my BALLS are hurting from the pain that radiates from my back.

Also, how do you guys solve the issue of 3 monitor setups with different sizes that doesn't fit a 3-monitor stand?

Only option I see is to buy 2 more of these small arms.

Still one of my favorites. A triple monitor setup would truly make this perfect. Most monitor stands have extendable arms right? So what's the problem? Good luck with your balls.
>>
>>47784515
Oh it's not for this particular setup, I'm moving into a new apartment soon.

I haven't seen a monitor stand/wall mount with 3x adjustable arms. If they do exist, I bet they are priced around the 900dollar range.

>>47784515
i have to thanks my note 3 for the blurry pic, it really suck. anyway, the orange "bible" is my agenda, i use it when i have an illumination (phys and maths related) and to remember tasks.
The laptop is small cz' i always carry it with me, it's an acer switch 10
the bird is actually a gift from my gf. it's kind of a bird with a bell under him.
i use headphones cz my neighboor are so much annoying so if i listen to music with the speaker they will start to ring my door.
The desk is not facing wall because this is my studio and i use to walk when i'm learning, so it's better a 360° opened desk.
the keyboard is actually a piece of shit, but i find it usefull because of the scroll and the copy/paste button related. i can basically do everything with it. i want to replace it asap.
and last but not least i am not poor, but i don't want to live on the shoulder of my parents, so everything you see it is bought with money i succed to gain. i have some K in the bank, but i want to keep them to pay for my specialization :)

>>47785394
Yeah! Exactly! I think it has got kind of optimization for focusing text lines. It really sucks if there is no light/bad light except for text. It will focus lines in every conditions. Probably that's because is a business phablet so it is just suited for pdf and not landscapes

Dont want to squish the cables between desk and wall. Thats why those holes I was talking about would be handy. They arent really in the way where they are along the top of the desk. I usually dont have much around my room

I don't get what's so difficult about basic cable management.
I see a lot of stations in these threads which would be so much better with just a little effort gone into their cabling. Just go to your nearest hardware store and get cable ducts matching your desk's thickness - especially easy with desks standing against the wall.

It isnt difficult but it also doesnt do anything except for looks in my case. I may do that some point later but its not a big concern. I understand why you would want to do it for looks but besides the room being clean and all its nothing major.

I wash my car almost every week and vacuum it, you may not do the same.

>>
>>47787558
I think looks are a big part for people posting in these threads to begin with, that's why it's boggling my mind.
Also, the cable duct solution is a permanent fix achieved in 20 minutes, not really comparable to keeping your car clean which, as you pointed out, has to be done regularly.

You brought up valid points and had a discussion instead of spouting memes. I may just do this and post it later afterwards with the spacers to put em between the desk and wall based off this alone sooner rather than later.

I do however sometimes have periods where different computers are in my area where I have to unplug things, another reason why it isnt quite just a 20 min and done for a while thing organizing it.

Im just more curious in these threads what kinda tech gear nerds have. Nerds are not really known for good looking aesthetics so looks wise Im not really too concerned past if someone has donuts and wrappers all over lol
>>
>>47787720
Sure, the gear is probably the biggest incentive to lurk. I don't want to force you to tidy up your cables, was just pointing out an easy fix for everyone in the thread.
If you do a lot of changing cables, you might want to mount the cable duct below the desk instead of the back against the wall, like I did. You can then easily access it by removing the faceplate/s. Can also cut the face plate into sections, so that there are multiple entries and exits for cables, as seen in the picture.

Cheers.

Headphones are all I got. I'm a gamer so I keep my headphones on all day. I don't really have a need for speakers.

And I'm always on teamspeak with friends. So I can't have speakers playing audio or they'll hear it.

I might invest in some cheaper speakrs if I ever feel the need. Cause some times I'm alone and I like to jam out.

>I dont know why you dont have a numpad on your keyboard
Not him but because most people don't use their numpad at all?

You never have to type numbers? Or have extra 8456 keys for GTA V or other games that you can use that alternatively to the arrow keys?

I dont get it... is that desk space worth it for a ton less keys? What are you gaining with less keys?

>You never have to type numbers
In the very, very, VERY off chance that I ever need to type a high enough amount of numbers to even justify a numpad, I have one built in https://w1r3s.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/img_20140929_181836.jpg (too large to post and also randomly found on google images)

Why would I need arrow key alternatives? WASD is standard for movement now anyway. If you want extra keys for macros then buy some razer or logitech shit that has an extra 500 billion macro keys just for that

I opted for a tenkeyless because I don't really use my numpad often enough to justify loss of deskroom, as I wanted my pc off the floor
