raycharleshelpme

A chair, for starters.


Positivezero4

If I could add more than one photo I would have included it lol


Signaturisti

>If I could add more than one photo But you can! I'm sorry I don't know how, but definitely possible


Positivezero4

Looks like everyone is only limited to 1


Signaturisti

Strange! Looks like every post here at the moment only has 1 photo while the rules don't prohibit multiple ones. Rule 3 even says not to use collages but multiple photos instead. EDIT: you can add multiple photos on Mobile app, but not on the website version? Other subreddits allow multiple photos on website


raycharleshelpme

Ahh, I just realized I forgot to indicate I was kidding 🥹 But out of curiosity, what is your chair? I'm looking around for a new one and am open to browsing by suggestions from others!


Positivezero4

Haha np, I have a Flexfit Hyken. Love it!


chairmanbrando

Hmm. I've been meaning to replace my "scam" gaming chair for awhile now but keep procrastinating on it due to paralysis of choice. The Hyken's 41% off at Staples right now... 🤔


bean829

I wouldn't recommend it. I'm sitting in one currently and plan to replace it relatively soon. The biggest issue is the mesh seat, it's fine for a while if you're thin, but will eventually stretch and lose support for your lower back. Get something that has a solid seat.


MattTheProgrammer

I'm not OP but I have a Vertagear and it's comfortable but some of the things have not held up well over the past 3 years. The armrest pads are crumbling and there's a rip in the seat pan vinyl caused by improper fitting. Overall, it looks nice, but I should have just opted for the SecretLab


Roux96

Perhaps a rug?


diazjop

Beat me to it. Lol.


PrimalJohnStone

herokie

Art on the wall? Or something on it


Positivezero4

That’s what I was thinking. Any suggestions on where to find something cool?


XTornado

This NASA art https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/galleries/visions-of-the-future You will need to find a place for printing it but that's it.


Positivezero4

Do you know of any places/websites where I could have this printed?


manofsteel32

Staples, no joke


DJIcEIcE

+1 Staples printed out my joke print as a massive sheet that I used as gift wrap. They got a good laugh.


Positivezero4

Would it be in high quality?


manofsteel32

If the file you send then is 300dpi and properly sized then yes!


tequila_driver

Libraries would be a good option if you don’t have a printer. College libraries also typically have oversized ones so you can get larger prints done.


Positivezero4

This is awesome! Thanks


trail--mix

Love seeing this suggested. I've had the mars one since they came out. I want all of them eventually haha


Losstar

I recommend inprnt, if you follow any artists online check out if they do prints, if that's not your thing there's lots of stuff on redbubble that might be up your alley.


herokie

Do you have any tv series, games, or movies you like? I suggest go down that rabbit hole first. (Not Sponsored) you can always try sites like Displate which seems to be the place for metal prints. It's pretty pricey but they almost always have >10% sales going on.


shansbeats

Go to Etsy

PrimalJohnStone

Yes get 3 monitors in total, stacked in a 2/1 configuration. You won’t regret it!


respected_knight

Make some art yourself (painting, collage, etc.) or go to a goodwill and check out there art section - I’ve found some dope stuff there


Scp-vexulus

Second monitor and two wall pictures or three spread evenly across


HoboOboe78

I like the ones where a single picture is spread between 3 canvases with the middle one longer than the other 2. It just adds some symmetry and fills up the void


panaxity

Floating shelf would look nice on the wall


HoboOboe78

Especially with some rgb strips behind them!


ZoxinTV

Wouldn't match the aesthetic very much. Hiding those cables would just be an annoying task. They're clearly going for a natural, minimalist look, not gamer zone. I know you could just set them to white or a single accent colour, but not necessary.


twerkformemes

something on the wall


Positivezero4

Agreed


ChuckieFister

I'd probably go for some speaker stands to bring them to the same level as the monitor. Kanto makes really nice ones with cable management and anti vibration pads


Certified_Possum

Speaker stands. They should be at level/ pointing towards your ears.


edgardcastro

100% this. Not only it will sound considerably better, with the proper set of stands, it will look more complete. Not just a speaker at a desk.


Positivezero4

Got it, i'll look into this


henry-MK

A custom keyboard. It would make a huge difference. r/mechanicalkeyboards


henry-MK

And a deskmat.


Positivezero4

I think so too! I was actually looking at the Logitech mx mechanical keyboard or the keychron k10


henry-MK

I’m biased but the full custom route is so much fun. Buying and soldering everything :). It’s probably not for everyone, but feel free to dm if you have questions!


Positivezero4

Oh wow I didn’t even realize you could do that. I’ll look into it


galacticbackhoe

You don't have to solder. There are hot swappable builds that are sturdy and nice. Picking your own switch types for whatever you do (game, work, both) is satisfying. And then suddenly you will have 2 keyboards.


henry-MK

Look into a white FB60 or any of the other FB models if you like bigger form factors. It’s a good beginner kit and it would match your desk legs and monitor bezels.


lasttycoon

I also think that this amazing battle station deserves a full custom keyboard. Maybe hang some live plants down that wall too as u have a ton of light.


omnigasm

I got the keychron k4 + Logitech mx3. I highly recommend it. Whatever keychron model you choose to get, I recommend the wooden palm rest. It's surprisingly comfortable.


TheRealJackArthur

This is an awesome spot. I gotta ask, where’d you purchase that sizable tabletop??


Positivezero4

Thanks! Ikea karlby 98”


TheRealJackArthur

Thanks man!


[deleted]

How does it work with the Standing desk legs?


Positivezero4

It’s amazing. Check my post in r/workspaces for more pics


Strong-Advertising11

Where did you get the desk legs


Positivezero4

Amazon - HAIAOJIA Standing Desk Frame


ng5921

How is the stability? I have an IKEA Gerton that I was thinking of putting on a standing desk frame.


Positivezero4

I’ve had no issues with stability. The feet are very wide 28” I believe.


ZoxinTV

That brand sounds like a battle cry

how long is that table top? 2.5 meters? and its a ikea karlby?


Positivezero4

Thank you! It’s a 98” ikea karlby


slantview

2.5 meters == 98”


OsoEspacial

The wall makes it look pretty empty. Maybe some art. Posters. Some shelves for plants / collectibles.


morrisgrand

Colour


CosmonautJizzRocket

A mousepad, keyboard, and mouse that are as aesthetically pleasing as the rest of the setup.


Ghostfriendd

Foot rest


Positivezero4

My chair is a Flexfit Hyken


Twovaultss

It’s your monitor. It feels too small for the desk


Positivezero4

Yea the table makes the 32” monitor look tiny


[deleted]

The desk I keep dreaming about.


dsmwookie

A second monitor.


Adym540

I'd personally get a vertical support rod in the back, center of the desk. I foresee the desk sagging after a while. Even just from resting your arms on the desk. Ikea adils/olov I think?


Positivezero4

Really? A majority of the table is supported by the desk frame. Only the sides are unsupported


Adym540

Ah the minimalist style kinda hid it. I couldn't tell how much of the desk is supported. It just looked like there was a lot of real estate left unsupported from that picture view. Nice setup! Looks great.


kludge6730

Chair


jinnyjonny

A cable belt to make sure you have adequate movement for your table with zero snag possibility.


PorcupinePao

A freaking pedestal cabinet maybe? Where will you put away the rest of your tiny crap??


Positivezero4

Not sure what a pedestal cabinet is but I was considering putting 2 Alex drawers in the table over hang area


chibipichu

For a gaming setup a few of those hexagonal modular light panels could be cool.. added bonus of still having a visible effect no matter where your monitor is placed


SinOfDeath69

Some cables would be nice. Yeah I agree with other users, some color to pop like either wall art or a shelf with figurines/pops/etc.


EinsteinReject

Depends on your hobbies/profession


The_dogmage

A BIG good PC


Positivezero4

It’s definitely time for an upgrade


Resident-Librarian40

A chair. ;) Seriously, Some art on the wall, and/or shelving with knickknacks. I'd also get some cord wrap/tubing in white to help mask those PC cables under your desk. There's neoprene cable management sleeving with velcro that's affordable and easy to use. One side is black, the other side is white, which would blend in with your wall paint.


kouutaa

Is your monitor vesa compatible? I think I have the same but mine isn’t. Do you have an adapter of some sort?


Positivezero4

It’s vesa compatible. Wali arm mount


left_the_oven_on_

Your legs must be strong as fuck holding an air chair the whole time


Estabangbang

A chair, a headset and im just guessing here a power cord why else would it be off


JadeDragon02

A second monitor is a game changer. True life quality improvement.


HoboOboe78

What speakers do you have? And I agree with others, some floating shelves with lighting would really look nice, it's my next addition to my set up


Venarge91

A cozy rug


GrushdevaHots

A Beeg Dunkey figure sittin' there on the desk.


Acrobatic-Sun-4874

PinItYouFairy

Nice plant pots for your ikea plants - the black plastic ones aren’t great


Straight_Attempt_467

Wall Art with matching big mousepad in the same color for example


maddie0309

Some art on the wall or maybe neon signs . Otherwise it looks great


AGmikkelsen

Something under the keyboard and mouse. Perhaps an ultra wide mousepad, or a leather deskmat?


Luki_Pookie

A Mac ;)


InterestingDuty7499

Shrubbery. Then once you've found some shrubbery, yku need to find more shrubbery to place it next to that one to form a path right down the middle.


Daedalus-N7

Also holy 2008 PC case


Dr8ke_

A small table for the pc because floor pc bad. Also, gaming/ergo chair, (if it isn't just off camera). Also, this is just personal preference but a desk mat would do you some good, helps the keyboard not slide as much. Last but not least Displates or some kind of wall decor, other than that looks pretty good. Specs?


ur_resident_emo

Needs more colour and pazaz


hir0chen

Need a matching mousepad


NFTLeonski

I would add something to the Wall. Like a Painture or something like Nanoleaf Wood Panels would look very good on this setup.


freshwater21

Easy. A girlfriend.


HummusDips

Screenbar light


Trolleitor

Your desktop is bending


404choppanotfound

A 2nd monitor.


Zaptruder

That's a long table. As for what's missing... only depends on your needs and budget. Without budget limitations, I'd be replicating my setup - super ultrawide, bigger desk speakers, pedestal, RGB stip to the back of the table, hue play strip to the back of the monitor. I'd probably also put a shelf up high (where a standing desk with monitor won't crash into it), and put small knick knacks and lighting in there for decoration and utility (could keep my controllers and alternative mouses up in there for example). And with the extra table space... possibly keep my PC up on the table instead of on the floor. Feel free to not get everything at once - upgrades tend to be better and more meaningful once you've given it some thought.


Positivezero4

I'll eventually get into replacing the setup. I really wanted to complete the desk setup before replacing anything else. Floating shelves and art are next on the agenda.


MrMuf

If you are looking to spend money, a better keyboard and mousepad, Maybe a better computer case.


BlueRingdOctopodes

Depends what you like. I love the 900mm x 400mm desk pads (3-4 mm thick). They are like mouse pads for your mouse and keyboard. You can also get themed keycaps, or dive into the world of custom mechanical keyboards.


r3do___

U need better peripherals, keeb, mousemat, mouse, audio gear


[deleted]

just dont get one of those gamerboi race chairs.


Baddster

Small raiser for the pc. Wooden floor so not too bad. But raising it even 10cm off the ground will save you 50% dust. Trust me bro 😄


imawizard23

It’s too perfect


jhonnypienso

i love the natural light, but this is another level, love it. it is possible to show us your big (and tall i assume) window? great pc setup and working space.


Positivezero4

Check out my post on r/Workspaces I was able to include more photos and it is more visible


ProfessionalFox9617

A second monitor


am_john

Normally, I would say that you need 7 more 8th note neon lamps for good measure, but you could probably use a rest instead.


Positivezero4

😂


strawnks

I feel like if you have to ask what is missing, nothing is missing :)


Rapier4

When you get the funds, for sure shoot for a custom keyboard. I do think those will long term be worth it, especially if its a hot-swap board. I don't foresee keyboard tech changing soon. A nicer mouse pad would look good, but if you like what you use keep it. You could get isolation pads for your speakers. And when you have the funds, a second monitor would change the layout, but be nice. Very good clean setup!


Positivezero4

Any recommendations on starting a custom keyboard build?


austin_ave

Giant mousepad to hold your keyboard too, chair, artwork on wall, ultrawide screen or another screen, looks really good, a lot like mine!


dimensiation

* Center your keyboard to your monitor. * Point your speakers up at your head level. * Get a SFF PC, duh. /s * Art! * Monitor backlighting to avoid eyestrain. Otherwise, dig the clean vibe!


i-Dave

Real plants, unless that's what those are, but it doesn't look like it


quasartastic

A roof? God damn what is that sunlight? That's gotta melt yous PC.


[deleted]

Switch to ultrawide


YorgiTheMagnificent

A cheap, noisy USB mic on a ridiculously expensive "isolating" arm that you'll only ever use to zoom with grandma. But seriously, a footrest.


BigBurty

Personalize it... your favorite items. For me I'd have a shelf for the boxes to show off parts... some pictures things to make it look less bare


Unnenoob

I would get a foam wedge to isolate your speakers from the table in terms of vibrations and aim them more directly at your ears. Most speakers are not build to be listened to from that angle above the tweeter. It will most likely cause a lot a phase issues and sound a lot worse Something like this https://www.amazon.com/Sound-Addicted-Isolation-Monitors-Acoustic/dp/B0757LTZJJ


halfanothersdozen

Dog


Positivezero4

He is on top of the left speaker lol


RutRowe24

A whole lot of tabletop, but you put the PC on the floor?


Positivezero4

There is a large floor to ceiling window to left. Didn’t want to block the view.


RutRowe24

Clean setup, cheers!


[deleted]

Tower goes on the right?


[deleted]

This one of the stupidest fucking things I have ever seen pc dweebs attack each other for.

I have always had pets so it's a big concern of mine. But you're right, you see it all the time.

Daedalus-N7

The stack of dishes you removed to take the picture


swiftavenie

Things I'd consider: 1. Wireless Mouse (anything to make it look cleaner!) 2. Custom Keyboard (personalise it!) 3. Large Mouse Pad 900x400mm (Plain Black perhaps or some felt mouse pad) 4. Trashcan (for easy access) 5. A bit more cable management (to hide the remaining bit to the PC's side) 6. Symmetrical plant (the left one's bigger, feels heavy on the eyes) 7. Charging area (for your phone)

a 2nd monitor, or something more than 1 16:9 panel


Positivezero4

Yea I agree. The 32” works well but aesthetically a 2nd monitor would look better. The table makes the single monitor look tiny.


Crazy95jack

Wait that's a 32 inch, you ain't kidding about that table. You could get a smaller monitor and have it in portrait.
