(Part 2) Best products from r/battlestations

Not OP but I can help you out here. Let's break this down by component:

1. Speakers - There are two types: active and passive. Active = amplifier built into each speaker (i.e. most dedicated "computer" speakers from the likes of Logitech, Creative, etc.). Passive = 90% of speakers out there, must be connected to an amplifier to work. Typically passive speakers will get you a better speaker for a given price for an active but you have to figure in the cost of an amplifier. For a passive speaker set up, the cheapest system recommended over at /r/audiophile is a SMSL SA-60 amp and Micca MB42X Bookshelf Speakers. If your budget is higher, ask in the daily purchase advice sticky there (read the rules/suggestions thoroughly). I don't mess around with active speakers so I can't recommend any.
   
   
2. Microphone - For simplicity's sake, I will recommend you look into USB connecting condenser microphones as they are affordable and have good sensitivity. Something like the Audio-Technica AT-2020 or Blue Yeti are popular mics for under $100. I have the Yeti and can attest that it is a very good and sensitive multi pattern mic. They can be hooked directly up to your PC or if you want to get really fancy, check out an audio interface like the Focusrite Scarlett Solo or Scarlett 2i2. The nice thing about an interface is it allows you get a nice mic with an XLR connector (generally better than a USB connection) and it will work with your PC.
   
   
3. Headphones - Don't waste your money on "gaming" headphones. A nice 2 channel pair of cans with a standalone mic like I listed above will hands down outperform the likes of Turtle Beach and Razr headsets. /r/headphones has a really good wiki with more info than I can provide here and headphones broken down by price range and characteristics. Plus, then you can use them both for gaming and general music listening and have a good experience, something you don't get with dedicated "gaming" headsets. The amp I listed in the speakers section is fine for headphones but Schiit makes absolutely fantastic headphone amps and DAC (digital to analog converters, check out both /r/audiophile and /r/headphones for more info on them and why they are good for your set up) with very respectable price tags.
   
   Hope this helps. Higher quality audio equipment can be confusing and daunting, what with all the technical details, wide price ranges, parsing through all the marketing bullshit and the sometimes snobby attitudes of some "audiophiles". I wish you luck and feel free to ask me if you have any questions.

Looks professional.

It's a minor thing but you should remove the kinks from your mouse. You only need to do it the the part that is visible on the desk.

Also, some kind of phone dock might be a good idea if you can find one that doesn't take up a lot of desk real estate. Gives the phone a home on the desk.

Maybe grab something like this for your controller so it looks like it has a place on the desk as opposed to looking like it's been put down after a gaming session. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015KJAQX6?th=1

You seem like you are the kind of person who appreciates quality. I say this because you have a pair of HD800's. If you are such a person then I'd recommend building yourself a custom mechanical keyboard instead of having to put up with the Corsair K70 RGB. Check out /r/MechanicalKeyboards if you're interested! ^join ^usssss...

Speaking of your headphones. Again, like the controller, you should make them look like they have a dedicated place. You should get two wall-mountable headphone stands and put them up on that left hand side wall. If you wanted to sacrifice convenience for looks then you could also get a wall-mounted hook for the cables since they are detachable. I always thought that cables that hang from headphones are messy. If you remove them then they are much easier to display nicely.

Use these at the far end of the desk near the wall and make your keyboard cable tidier: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G23R0K6/

Your cable management is quite good but can be improved:

• Cables under the both monitors can be hidden behind the arms. Black electrical tape can be good for this.
  
• Cables out the back of the PC can be hidden with some sort of cover. Black card or black cloth are good choices for this.
  
• Cables that are hanging under desk can be strapped to the underside if it.
  
  Use whatever works best for you:

  ^wires ^are ^evil
  
  If you do any of this things I'd love it if you could send me a photo!

Cable management is not a fun thing to do but in my opinion one of the most rewarding for a set up in terms of aesthetics. I spent about $6 on Amazon for some cable clips, and used some zip ties to clean up all the wires under my desk. It took me around an hour or so. It really cleaned up the look of my setup which is semi-minimalistic as well. I even drilled a hole in my desk for the mouse and keyboard. I love how it looks even more now. I would also recommend a cable race way, or a rack to hold the cables up, however I just took advantage of my 100 clips (actually 98 after I counted) and a lot of zip ties to hold it up. Also a cable sleeve for the back of the pc helps out a lot. There are many tutorials on YouTube but really it just takes some time and some clever thinking on how to hide everything and make it look pretty.

Also I dig the large monitor/T.V set up

Good luck, and remember your set up is never compete ;)

Don't let this hooligans fool ya. LED's are awesome, more screens the better. I'm not sure if you use that box as a foot stool but if not you should move it so you have room for your feet.

1. As someone else said move the LED strip to the back of your desk.
   
   
   
2. Again as someone else said move that one speaker to the correct side. However, you don't need to discard a monitor for that. Just put it behind where the monitors meet. So long as the speaker isn't covered too much it shouldn't hinder sound coming out of it. Heck, if you wanted you could lay the speaker on its side. I'm not much of an audiophile and don't have those speakers so your mileage may vary. Are those speakers hooked up to a stereo, computer, or maybe a DAC? If it's a DAC then you could easily mount that to the underside of the desk with some double sided tape or Velcro tape. I prefer Velcro tape myself.
   
   
   
3. Once more, as someone said mount those headphone somewhere when you're not using them. Seems you have space to the left of your desk for that. If you like using that space yourself then you could just mount a holder on the underside of your desk. They're super cheap on Amazon, and anything like this will work fine.
   
   
   
4. It's hard to see how much cable clutter you have. Best thing you can do is bundle as many cables together as possible. A good way to do this is with veclro ties. The more peripherals you get the more cables you have. Some will have their own power bricks and some will have cable length as if you were supposed to use the thing in another room. To deter this I would recommend cable trays to mount to the bottom of the desk. One other thing that can help for cable management is a cable sleeve which is helpful for tiding up those cables as they go to your PC.
   
   
   
5. Basically mount anything and everything you can to the bottom of your desk to hide as much as possible from view.

I also have a sit / stand desk but have my computer on a separate table to the side of it. Here's what i did!


My desk is ikea, and has a mesh cable management net mounted to the bottom. I found that the best thing to do was mount a big power strip to the bottom of the desk, and plug in all my accessories there. Then i only have the one power strip cable coming down from the desk underside, and goes down along the back of the table leg and plugs into my UPS that's on the floor. Then I mount all of the cables to the underside of the table with these guys (https://www.amazon.com/eBoot-Pieces-Adhesive-Management-Holder/dp/B01HR9VS4I/ref=lp_11042051_1_15?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1543598131&sr=1-15) . So I have a power strip next to the net, all the cables being plugged into the strip are being hidden by the net, but since the cables are mostly fastened to the underside, the net doesn't sag and stays mostly out of sight.


Since my computer is on a side table i use really long cables, and used one of these to go from the inside of the cable net to the back of the computer (https://www.amazon.com/Black-Split-Tubing-Cover-Marine/dp/B00J7SAHTK/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1543598333&sr=1-3&keywords=plastic+cable+sleeve). There are more modern looking ones, i just happened to like the "industrial" look of this one, if you could call it that...

​

Hope that helps! I know for me, once i got started seriously trying to take care of the cable situation, all the ideas on how to make it better just come to you as you are doing it. Figuring out where to start is often the hard part :D

If you're averse to drilling into your desk like I was, here's what I used for my cable management with less room to work with than you, OP.

The Basic Stuff

2 x 40" Cable management sleeves- $14

30 x adhesive cable management clips- $7

50 x reusable velcro ties- $8

2 x Cable management bins- $23

The strongest double-sided 3M tape you can find- $10 at your local hardware store

Optional, but highly recommended

AmazonBasics Premium Dual Monitor Stand- $190

AmazonBasics 7 Port USB 3.0 Hub with 12V/3A Power Adapter- $27

AmazonBasics 4 Port USB 3.0 Hub with 5V/2.5A power adapter- $17

• The cable management sleeves should be pretty self-explanatory, but they have the added benefit of having holes cut out already for more efficient cable routing.
  
  
• The clips are useful if you have to route any cables under your desk or just need something to hold individually-wrapped cables in a convenient location under your desk.
  
  
• The velcro ties are useful for organizing your cables before routing them through the sleeves. I prefer to group mine by audio, video, and peripherals, but you may prefer otherwise.
  
  
• Use the cable management bins to hide your messy powerstrip and whatever else you may want to hide. They can also come in handy for routing cables in more complex A/V or music-production set-ups.
  
  
• Powered USB hubs can be really helpful for reducing the number of cables you have to routing from your desk to your PC or from your desk to an outlet. They're also really convenient when you have a phone that needs charged, a new wireless dongle to plug in, or just plugging in your basic peripherals vs. having to reach around the back of your PC to do it. I keep the 7-port Amazon hub on my desk for my mouse/keyboard BT dongles, charging my phone, and when I need to occasionally plug in my mouse/keyboard. Meanwhile, I keep the 4-port hub 3M-taped to the bottom of my desk for when I need to plug in external HD/USB drives.
  
  
• If you have the room in your budget and your monitors support VESA mounts, mounting your monitors would do wonders for your cable management and organization. I recommended Amazon's because I use their VESA mount for my 34" Viotek and it's sturdy as hell, so I imagine their double mount is just as good. That said, there's cheaper alternatives out there, but I just can't speak to their quality.

​

PC Specifications: (pre-built, I know)

CPU: i5-6400K @ 2.70GHz

GPU: Radeon RX 480 4GB

RAM: 8.00 GB from Samsung (2x4GB)

​

Keyboard: Logitech G610 Orion Cherry MX Red

Mouse: Logitech G203 Prodigy (one of the lightest mice out there! extremely happy with it!)

The tabletop is a 78" Linnmon Tabletop on top of two ADILS legs and an Alex drawers. I'm using a WALI Mount for my monitors which can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/WALI-Monitor-Adjustable-Capacity-M002/dp/B018MSDG84

​

Speaking of my monitors, the vertical one to the left is the Sceptre 22" E225W-1920 1080p 60hz monitor. My main monitor in the center is the Dell 27" S2719DGF 1440p 144hz Freesync enabled.

I will definitely be upgrading from my pre-built soon. I already have $100 in earnings from a tourney that I am currently playing, and will soon earn more tomorrow when I qualify for the tourney again today (lol Fortnite, don't roast me please). The PC is not bad though; it actually can handle AAA games at 60fps on medium settings. But yeah, the setup looks a lot nicer in real life compared to this image taken on my iPhone 6+, and it is where I spend my days.

​

Thanks for reading and leave any suggestions for me please! Cable management needs to be worked on a little but otherwise it is almost close to perfect. Hopefully I can get a better picture soon but I don't think I'll be able to. My Discord is chunky#8625 if you ever want to leave any suggestions. Leaving them here in the comments is fine. If you have any questions for me, don't hesitate to shoot them below!

Thanks for the advice about the speakers. I was trying to get stuff off the desk, but I'll move them back down.
I do plan on getting nice monitor stands something like this maybe, still trying to find the best options for them. I'm thinking one just for the small monitor, since I plan on having that one be vertical. The other two are heavy, so I need to find a dual monitor stand that can handle the weight.
LOL, my helper gets lots of scratches, he is a very spoiled baby.

Sorry, just edited the album to include them. Both of them are 1920x1080 TN panels.

Center monitor: Asus VG248QE 24" 144Hz monitor. I bought this monitor because it's 144Hz, 3D-vision ready, and Asus so it would match my other monitors. I give it an 8/10.

Pros: I got it at $220, eye strain is significantly reduced due to the 144Hz refresh rate, I can finally watch my 3D movies, and the backplate is at the same height as the other monitors so monitor stands work.

Cons: my only real con is the color reproduction. When in 2D, colors can be a bit washed out and there's only so far calibration can take you. In 3D, on the other hand, it looks fantastic so I accept the trade-off.

Peripheral Monitors: Asus VS247H-P 23.6" 60Hz monitor. These monitors are used for nVidia Surround and extra documents. For example, I'll do |Spotify & browser|works cited & research paper|browser & browser|. Since I mainly do work on the center, I didn't need 120/144Hz. This gets a 9/10.

Pros: response time is suitable for gaming. Color reproduction is some of the best I've seen in a TN panel. I bought the two monitors three years apart and noticed zero color degradation. At $150, the price/performance ratio is almost unreal.

Cons: The included stand is garbage, very few ways to adjust it. If you want more than one monitor, I'd recommend just getting a monitor stand. But this being my only complaint should tell you how good I think it is.

TL;DR: I love all of my monitors. I would recommend the VS247H-P to anyone. The VG248QE isn't for everyone, so I recommend that only if you want 3D. There are better looking 144Hz monitors without 3D.

Sure. See below.

ASUS VG248QE - This is what I have, because I got it for $188 from Best Buy. Best buy tends to usually have a good deal on this monitor, so keep an eye on that.

The famous BenQ XL2411 - I've heard this is the best 144 on the market. I've never used it per say, but I love the design but it's not worth the extra money(I got my other one for much much cheaper) so I never got to use this.

Acer GN246HL - This is a very low-end 144hz and some people have it, but it doesn't have much with it (adjustments etc).

The Asus one is heavy, so if you use monitor mounts, make sure they're secure.

I got THIS I saw the $87 tag on it and thought it was too good to be true. If it's holding three $200+monitors I want something sturdy and reliable. How do you like the stand you got? :) Just curious. I might recommend the one you got to save my friends some money.

You're going to call me dumb when I tell you this but, I don't run in surround. I think the idea is cool, but the interface is shotty at best. I'll explain. So normally I game on the middle monitor with a stream up on my right monitor and something to read on the left. The surround doesn't have "true" maximize so the windows are basically maximized but still show the border, that annoys me.

As far as the monitors, I love them, albeit I'd like to replace them for the BenQ 24" 120hz.

For me, the case is a sign of power. When I was much younger, my first job was at a computer shop and one of the guys there had a really big case with all kinds of badassery inside and ever since I started making money and building awesome gaming rigs, I've always got a big case.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001NPEC5A/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 is my monitor stand.

For what it does, yeah I kinda like it, but now that I’ve had it a while I’m considering buying a different mount. This one was pretty cheap, like $50 I think. The bolts are made of really cheap material and have pretty much stripped out. The arms also seem like they are bending from the load of the monitors. Here is the Amazon link for it, in case ya wanna see some other reviews.

Plus some other materials i probably missed but a quick amazon search of “Cable Management” on amazon can start to trigger some awesome ideas.

You really gotta sit there and stare at it and think how you can hide everything, neatly and routed in a way thats easy to clean. Having my monitors wall mounted allowed me to use the brackets to hide the long monitor power cords and hdmi cables i was also able to mount a power strip behind there so it was easier to power things while hiding wires.

trust me, i spent months researching good mics, as a person who gets about 20 dollars a month on average, it was worth saving for the blue yeti, Heres a link to the Yeti i bought it was about 130$ wen i got it but its about 90 now, which is amazing! hope it works out! :)

Combine the monitor and the window.

Buy a second monitor. Disassemble it and take out the LCD panel and controller board and remove the backlight. Then mount the LCD panel in front of the window. This way during the day, the window acts as the backlight for your monitor, but if you want to see out the window just turn off the monitor and it will be transparent.

Kidding aside, I'd get your second monitor but I'd also buy a dual monitor arm stand like this one so you can super easily readjust your monitors or move them out of the way of the window whenever you like.

  I have a total of 31 IP reservations according to my Eero. This makes it a lot easier to manage my network, set up port forwarding, etc.

Been wanting to do a new computer build for a while now, but decided to start with a new desk and monitors.

3xASUS VG248QE 24" 144Hz monitors
Desk/side table/file cabinet/shelves from Ikea.

Still have some cable management, light blocking, shelf filling and general maintenence to do, but for now I'm just relaxing and enjoying it.

Thanks to this subreddit for helping me collect my thoughts for what I wanted to accomplish.

Looking good, but I have two inexpensive suggestions: get this for a PC stand and get this for your headphones

I just received the glass stand and I like it a lot, used it to raise up my monitor and free up space for my keyboard and my backup HDD. It'd fit/look a whole lot better than that silly AC retail box ;)

Those monitors don't look identical, but you MAY be able to flip all 3 vertical and create a DIY ultrawide situation. That would give you more horizontal desk space so the TV isn't so crowded.

This one has arms you can adjust, but only horizontally (and tilt), you couldn't change any heights.

Same story with this one, but arguably easier to ensure things are more aligned. (This is what I use for 2 monitors that aren't identical and it works well enough.)

This one would let you play with heights, but is 2x the price of the others for that reason.

This was me playing with the idea of 2 horizontal and 1 vertical.

Thanks! I spend most days here, so I strive to make it a place I enjoy.

Desk is from World Market. It looks like they have a 40% off deal going on right now!

Ultrawide is the Dell Alienware AW3418DW.

Top monitor is a dell 4k 27" I bought a few years ago. Great color reproduction.

Monitor stand || Micca MB42X speakers || Keyboard || Mouse || Lucky cat ;)

If looking to play FPS with surround/eyefinity, 120hz is definitely worth it. Especially if you get a the lightboost capable monitors.

As for particular models, the Asus VG248QE is generally regarded tops among the 24" 120hz monitors based on price+performance ($250 on Amazon).

I love the northern bayou, I really do but I loved the aesthetic of this more because the monitor hides the mount almost completely. The northern bayou is probably best bang for your buck, considering the amazonbasics mount I have for my ultrawide ran me about 100$ usd. I use the bayou now for my pc workshop, so its still in use.

This was the northern bayou i was using https://www.amazon.com/North-Bayou-Monitor-Computer-14-3lbs/dp/B01AI2YGK4/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1537904967&sr=8-4&keywords=northern+bayou+mount&dpID=415YbkXLaBL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

I find stacking works with better with an ultra wide setup. I have a 34um95 and found anything to the left or right was too far outside my peripheral vision to use for watching movies and playing games at the same time. I stacked a cheap 27inch 16:9 tilted down on top of the 34 inch using this mount: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00DGU92DM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00

It has gone up in a price a little since I bought it but there is also a cheaper version that lets you mount the stand directly to the desk with out drilling holes in it here: http://www.amazon.ca/Monitor-Stacked-Vertical-Screens-VIVO/dp/B00DGTP57A/ref=pd_cp_ce_1

I haven't posted it yet because the room is being renovated but here is a phone pic from when I first set it up: http://i.imgur.com/uocoR8h.jpg

It works great for me. I hope this helps.

> Thanks! That is definitely next on my list of additions. I have found this one on amazon I was thinking of getting eventually. Seems like a good way to improve tabletop usage.

Hi, if you don't mind me asking, where did you find that desk? I've been looking for one like it for some time.

a.) I'd suggest a quality headset stand. Massdrop has them on sale fairly regularly, although if you have Prime you can probably pick one up relatively cheaply (less than $40 US, I believe). I'm actually using my Blue Yeti as a headset stand and it works famously.

b. I'd suggest a taupe/light beige, since it would fit with the table, and leave your possibilities open if you end up getting another desk or if you want to change the room into something else. Saves you from having to re-paint at least.

c. I personally have a monitor arm that mounts to the desk. It's an Ergotron Neo-Flex, but I wouldn't really recommend it. Not a lot of articulation since it's a mechanical hinge instead of a gas hinge like this one I was looking at before I found mine in my dad's office. Almost all of them will require a Vesa mount, but those are pretty common on Asus monitors. Even my low end 22" has one. Plus it'll free up a little real-estate on your desk for a headset stand/microphone if you want one.

Oh my god, finally someone else has my desk! Given how those shelves attach no way would I feel comfortable putting my pc up on the edge of it like that though.

I have since taken those two shelves off and put one of these on https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Premium-Dual-Monitor-Stand/dp/B00MIBN71I off center to the left of that middle support for the platform, works great

Oooohhh... I've been looking for something just like that! Thank you so much!

I found These though, and I think I like the plain look a little better. Still, thanks for the idea. I do need to grab a couple of logner cables, since some things are sort of stretched.

You all are correct, I went to ikea store and got the countertop karlby wood. Very durable and meant for rough encounters. Mixed with Grey or black Alex drawers and I love it. Very popular on reddit, I don't bolt them down but you can with these if you want. Also upgraded from a glass desk and I love this setup!

VOVOV Furniture Cabinet Metal... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NCKZRTL?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

The main monitor is an HP 24wd, secondary on top is a Dell SP2309W, and the third in portrait is an Asus MW221. They're all old and I wish they were IPS, but they do the job good enough.

The mount for the secondary monitor is this one and the mount for the portrait monitor is this one. They're pretty damn good in terms of sturdiness and reliability.

Here is mine. http://www.amazon.com/Mount--Articulating-Computer-Monitors-MI-753/dp/B00BDT072S/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1420557500&sr=1-2&keywords=mount+it+triple+monitor. I might be able to adjust middle one down, but I haven't looked into it yet. Thanks for the kind words though! I love the triple set up.

Not OP but I use this and it's awesome. :)

Sounds like either a different desk surface is in order, or else one of those weighted-base mounts like: https://www.amazon.com/WALI-Standing-Adjustable-Capacity-MF002/dp/B018MU3SAS/ref=sr_1_13?keywords=monitor+mount&qid=1574830457&sr=8-13 Good luck!

It's this monitor arm with this notebook tray. It works pretty well. :) Just make sure your room/desk etc. has enough clearance. The setup does require some space behind the desk unless you want the monitors sticking all the way in front of your face.

This is the stand I am currently using, It works great for me and the center mast is hollow with holes in it to run cables through so cable management is pretty easy.

Not sure why my links came out all fucked up? Too lazy to try and fix it.

These little trays are even better. Easy to install with a standard drill, and they'll hold a surge protector and all the plugs. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BVYW7UY/

Also, I love these reusable tie thingies. You can double them up for big cable bundles. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M7TAL4F/

Yes some are rolled up and tied together. I think most of them are a decent length so I don't need to extend em. I'll look for that IKEA thing in a bit but what I have so far is this from Amazon that works but I think is a bit short, though it came with two. I'll the try the mic position, looks like a good spot.

If your setup is such that the monitors could theoretically be wall mounted, I have a pretty good solution.

What I did was cut an 8" x 36" board (plywood or particleboard), and mount it to the wall stud(s). Then, I got three individual monitor wall mounts (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000ID7QNI) and screwed those into the board.

It's neat because my triple monitors are not only "floating" but you can adjust the angle and pitch perfectly on each one.

Good to know thanks. Have you been satisfied with the quality of the VIVO mount? I'm currently looking at this one for a dual monitor setup on an IKEA Malm desk. Hence the freestanding version. I don't dare use a clamp on IKEA furniture.

I just commented on someone else's post about this as well, but if you want a little stand that will allow you to move your desktop to the floor, allowing for more desk space, here is what i use. It's meant for monitors but works perfectly for a tower.

This one. It's pretty easy to work with. If you want to get it exact you'd need a level and a ruler and take some time. I didn't have the time nor did i care enough to get it absolutly perfect

I would recommend saving up for one, It would be totally worth it. I spent $560 on a Dell 27" 1440p 144Hz monitor, my second is my old Dell 23" 1080p and the difference is impeccable.

Edit1:Found It on amazon for cheaper than I spent! used or new.

Edit2: Also Gsync is amazing for gaming, you can really tell the difference when it comes to the smoothness of a games graphics.

My monitors (pictured right):

My wife's monitors (pictured left): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0043T7FHK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The stands:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C5H5DN0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My wife doesn't notice difference between 60 and 144 FPS and doesn't play shooters so for her we went with a less expensive option that had a lower refresh rate/response time. The speakers are a little quieter too, and they don't have display ports (her aging GPU only has HDMI ports anyway). If you can spare the extra money per monitor I would HIGHLY recommend the VG248QEs. I've had these for about two or three years now and they've been a dream. Reliable, beautiful picture quality, speakers are loud af. I use display port cables on each and then I have my Switch hooked up to the right monitor with an HDMI. When it's time for me to play Smash with my buddies in discord, I just push a button and it flips right over for Switch time.

Couldn't recommend the stand enough either, things incredibly sturdy and well constructed. I've had it for as long as the monitors and purchased it again when buying my wife's monitors this week.

This one:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ID7QNI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Super cheap, works great!

Consider this Cable Management Sleeve, JOTO Cord Management System for TV / Computer / Home Entertainment, 19 - 20 inch Flexible Cable Sleeve Wrap Cover Organizer, 4 Piece - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015HWXG4M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_TS.PBbGC00W3K pretty cheap and will make a huge difference

Thanks and sorry for the late reply. The wallpaper is from Ori and the Will of the Wisps, an upcoming game (first game called Ori and the blind forest is also worth looking at, has some great visuals too). The two stands at the side are custom made simply by using some small furniture legs similar to these which made it easy to adjust the height of the monitors.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DGTP57A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


That's the mount I use for the monitors. It's a BenQ 27" 144hz, and a pretty basic Asus 27". I really like it, nice for watching streams and movies/videos while doing something.

Thanks, they are pretty nice for the price. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000X9O8SI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AJ7F14I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It also has RGB and 3 brightness setting. Pretty nifty little lamp.

Sorry, posted right b4 bed

The mount is an [Ergotron dual stacking arm] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0036RDOT8/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1411569894&sr=1&keywords=Dual+stacking+arm)

And the monitors are both Asus vg248qe 144hz displays


The ergotron arms are an absolute dream. If need be I can easily adjust them to a horizontal or side by side monitor setup. Make sure you have enough of a lip on your desk for the base to clamp onto. My desk is really just a dining room table and it's 3'' lip was just barely enough to secure the stand. If you done have a sufficient lip then be prepared to drill a hole for the alternate mounting method.

I agree 100%. I grabbed a Mount-It! triple monitor mount from Amazon and it was the best move I made.

How fancy is fancy?

Something like a Blue Yeti has pretty good sound quality while being fairly affordable.

Just the $30 amazon special. I've had it almost two years now and it still works great.

Amazon link

Here are the monitors I'm using, nothing special really but I love them. And this is the mount.

This is what I found when searching for it:

AUKEY Table Lamp, Touch Sensor Bedside Lamps + Dimmable Warm White Light & Color Changing RGB for Bedrooms https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AJ7F14I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_BM8TAb9N7FY2G

Looks pretty similar. Hope this helps!

Haha those aren't streaming lights (would be a cool addition on the top of them). They are these speakers on top of these mounts.

Not OP but I’m pretty sure it’s this one:

https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Standing-Bolt-through-Adjustable-STAND-V002F/dp/B00C5H5DN0/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=vivo+dual+monitor+stand&qid=1558634888&s=gateway&sprefix=vivo+&sr=8-4

I had a similar tangle underneath my work area. you could try something like these:
organizer / tamer to put under the desk,
a box for your surge protector, and
short extenders for power cables to help them all fit in your surge protector

So this thing is pretty freaking good. It does have important drawbacks tho. 1) it is VERY stable (they offer it for a 24in monitor and 27 in monitor version) 2) THe base is quite large, so if you dont have the desk realestate, consider other options. 3) I have 3 24in monitors that hang off to the very edge so one way or another, I reccomend getting the 27 in version (if you have the space). Here it is: https://www.amazon.com/Ergotech-Triple-Horizontal-Monitor-100-D16-B03/dp/B001NPEC5A

Looks good, best thing I ever did for cable management was buy these

What stand is that? Looks like it might be this? I have a dual monitor setup with a TV above, and wondering if I should do a stand. I'm not sure I have enough top clearance though, roughly what is the height of your landscaped monitor? Thanks!

I have 2 27 inch monitors on the amazon basics double arm stand and it's a pretty solid mount. Would recommend: https://smile.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Premium-Dual-Monitor-Stand/dp/B00MIBN71I?sa-no-redirect=1

I’m also 5’10” and I fit in just fine. I went from having the IKEA Linmon desk and it was almost the exact height as this one so I’m already used to it. If height is a problem for you I would recommend ordering some adjustable metal legs like for furniture. A lot of people are using these to put between the desk and cabinets to raise it up a little bit, and plus they make it look a bit nice imo. VOVOV Furniture Cabinet Metal Legs Adjustable Stainless Steel Kitchen Feet Round Black and Silver 50 x 50mm Pack of 4 + 16x Screw https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NCKZRTL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_HVysDbDZYE9PG

Hell yeah closet desks!! One of my bedrooms has a closet with two sliding doors so I measured the width of my closet and used the door as my desktop. It's been perfect. I have 3 of these for my monitors and they've held up pretty good over the last few years.

Middle one is a 1920x1080 144hz ASUS VG248QE 24"

The ones to the left and right of that are 1920x1080 60hz AOC e2470swhe 24"


I mostly use the middle one for competitive games (Overwatch, Rocket League, CSGO, Melee)
But for more casual games where I don't mind 60hz vsync input lag I use all three at once. The 1070 handles pretty much any game at 5760x1080.


Also it's even more comfy when it's snowing / raining outside :)

You could wall mount the monitor underneath the shelf. Save some space on your desk to better position your keyboard and laptop.

I use this on my secondary monitor and it works fine

Thanks! The monitors are wall mounted using these -> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ID7QNI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

They just come with 2 screws that you screw into studs. Pretty easy and very adjustable.

Also, a mouse bungee would do you wonders. That, or loosely Velcroing your mouse wire to your keyboard wire so they stay uniform. Oh, and you'd probably benefit from a headphone stand. Last things that comes to mind are a vesa mount for your monitors, an extended mouse pad, some LED's behind your desk and monitor, and perhaps finding another place to put your PC. You can always extend cables.

i got the cheapest wall mounts at a local store
but they are similar to something like this.

i doesn't matter how big the monitors are, what is mostly important with wallmounting is weight.

my left monitor is a 27'' and it holds just fine.

Yeah it's the AmazonBasics Premium Dual Dell Monitor Stand - I really like it and highly suggest it. Only problem is I had to return my first one because a few of the screws wouldn't turn to adjust the tilt. From the reviews it seems multiple people got defective ones as well, but they quickly sent a replacement and it works perfectly.

These are awesome! Way more adjustable and able to move the monitor up and down. They also have a dual monitor one as well. I will be upgrading my mount soon, once I get another monitor that has a VESA mount.

Sure! It's super cheap

u/marziazzz had it right. I was talking about something like this off Amazon. There are even some other ones with better arms so you could swivel your monitors 360 degrees or so.

Also, I was talking about your JDS digital audio converter and whatnot. I just clicked through to Imgur and saw your descriptions!

The monitors are all ASUS VS238H-P's. The monitor stand is a Mount It Triple Monitor Stand It isn't very good for landscape because the side monitors droop about an inch with a heavy monitor but it works great for portrait. The desk is a Ikea Desk, the Linnmon. It's can be really sturdy or fairly flimsy depending on how you put it together.

if you are on a budget get the snowball

But if you look at amazon

snowball

yeti

both have great reviews and lots of them. And I just noticed that the snowball comes in tons of colors now

Thank you!

I'm currently pushing my luck with maxing out the specs for VIVO's vertical mount: https://smile.amazon.com/VIVO-Monitor-Stacked-Vertical-STAND-V002T/dp/B00DGTP57A/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1542523637&sr=1-4&keywords=vivo+vertical+monitors

These can hold your surge protector off the ground as well.

If you don't want to screw anything onto the wall or desk then you could consider a cable management sleeve to gather up all the cables and make it look better with just 1 round tube.

https://www.amazon.com/Management-Sleeve-JOTO-Computer-Entertainment/dp/B015HWXG4M

edit: I own a sleeve but it has holes for cables to exit. like this picture.

I current have https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00C5H5DN0/ref=psdcmw_10967501_t2_B009S750LA and its been great for me. It comes with a weighted base as well if you dont want to attach it to your desk

Edit: updated the link to the one with the base

Hi mate, just a cheap vivo mount from amazon, works perfectly.

my dude, get one of these

I have a similar standing desk and got something like this and a standard cable management tray and mounted both underneath my desk at the back. You can use any normal powerstrip but I wanted the wider one because of some larger power blocks and and because I wanted to more evenly distribute the weight. That way I really only have 1 cord that comes off my desk similar to the one you see here on the right.

​

Edit: I am actually really interested in how you wired the lights. It looks like you punched through the carpet. Did you do that when installing or am I missing something? Did you do the same for ethernet?

Not sure if you've considered this, but you can get a little stand for your case that's fairly cheap to keep it off the floor. Here's a good one on Amazon that can hold up to 60 lbs.

Can I has your setup? D: lol Anyways If you can afford it (Looks like you can :P) I suggest this monitor. http://www.amazon.com/VG248QE-24-Inch-Screen-LED-lit-Monitor/dp/B00B2HH7G0/ref=lh_ni_t?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER It's 24", 1080p, and 144Hz.

Middle monitor: Dell Alienware AW3418DW (120Hz) - Got it for $629.99 open box at Microcenter a couple months back.

Left and right monitors: Acer CZ340CK (75Hz) - Got them $599.99 each at Microcenter when they were first released, cheapest 3440x1440 curved ultrawides at the time.

Top monitor: Dell S2716DGR (144Hz) - Paid ~$450 for it used shortly after it came out. I actually had this one as my middle monitor prior to getting the Alienware, but let my girlfriend use it. I recently kicked her out and took it back!

PC Specs:

CPU: Intel i7 8700k

GPU: EVGA GTX 1080Ti (I got this during the height of the crypto boom for $829 from the EVGA site. I bought 3, flipped 2 for $1200 each and came away nearly getting this one free.)

PSU: Some Corsair 850W Gold, don't remember the model.

Cooler: Noctua NH-D15

Motherboard: No clue

Storage: 2x 1TB SanDisk X400 M.2 SSDs, 3TB Seagate HDD, 4TB Seagate HDD, 1TB WD Black

RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance 3000MHz

This One
I bought it for $40
Would I recommend it, yeah..
But if you can spend more I would go with another mount.

you cant see it in the picture but the outside monitors are not level. they actually angle down and there is about an inch difference in between the inside and outside height of them.

Still a good buy though for $40 or around that price.

Yea it's working well so far. My eye level when sitting straight up is level with the top of the bottom monitor, and this has been fine so far.

The mount I use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DGTP57A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They're called AUKEY lamps, you can find them on Amazon. They're currently on sale if you're looking to buy some.

Funny enough I actually have an RGB light strip on at the back of my table, they help blend the light together from the two lamps.

Pretty sure it's the Blue Yeti. http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Microphones-Yeti-USB-Microphone/dp/B002VA464S

Closer pic

Dell 27 144hz w/ G-Sync Amazon link

Edit: Wow that fuckin compression

The vertical monitor is a Dell Gaming S2716DGR. It's a 27" 1440p TN panel monitor with G-Sync. It's a fantastic little monitor, but a lot of people do have issue with color banding on it, especially if you don't tweak the settings on it.

The curved ultrawide is an Alienware 1900R. For me it was a tossup between that and the Asus Predator ultrawide of the same style. I ended up chosing the Alienware due to less complaints over backlight bleed and the fact that it overclocks to 120hz. So far it's been a beautiful monitor and I've had zero issues with it.

Only the best $20 mount you can buy! Amazon

They're HS7's! I used these for my wall mount. Very sturdy and work perfectly. Def need studs tho.

On the left, which my give headset is resting on the top of, is for the top 4k monitor, and the left 1080p vertical monitor. It only comes with 1 set of arms, so I took the arms off another similar monitor stand and the top set of arms is my camera and the 4k monitor, then the second set of arms is only for my left monitor. The ultra wide is sitting on the desk, and the right 1080p monitor is on a desk mounted swivel arm stand that used to have just my 4k on it until I got the ultra wide and moved everything around. My mixer is actually sitting on one of those monitor mounts, but flipped upside down and mounted under my desk, and it's resting on a laptop to vesa mount.

You can get a monitor stand to lift your PC off the floor/carpet. I have wood floors but I still wish I got one a lot sooner. Got mine off of Amazon

I'm just using four of these

Looks really nice! I dig your hardware choices.

I might suggest one of these guys to get your machine off your desk while keeping it away from carpet. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AJHCQD8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

More specifically it's this one from Dell. Looks really nice and Best Buy has a sale on them right now!

what many people do, including myself, is mount the power strip under the desk with 3M tape then attach the power cables/usb with cable ties to these cable clips. I have two monitors so I just velcro zip tie the HDMI and DisplayPort together and run them behind my monitors through the monitor stand. Hope this helps out man.

Thanks. This is the monitor mount:

I ordered two of these, but they're both different. The first one has tilt adjustment and the other doesn't. This is what it looks like behind the wall.

I have this exact mount.
WALI VESA MOUNT

But I would recommend spending about double for a dual arm hydraulic vesa mount. I spent as little money as I could and I regret I didn’t cough up the extra doe. Hope this helps!!
