My work area

[SeekaX]

the PC is unique, and so are the monitors as well. why are they on different heights and why is one in the good ol' 4:3 aspect ratio? the keyboard is nice, i'm thinking about selling my tT.Esports Challenger and buying a CMStorm Quick Fire TK.

Haha, im getting rid of the 4:3 monitor soon. The 16:9 one will stay there though. Im getting a 21.5" maybe. I chose my keyboard as i hate big chunky keyboards. My setup is designed in a way to get as much out of a small space as i can. Once i get my speakers my setup will start to take shape. I just need to find out how to get my speakers to work now :lol:

I have the monitors and speakers closer now and the subwoofer is sideways with my pc case on top. It gives me more working space but the sideways writing is triggering my ocd.

Did I get that right - the PC is on the subwoofer? Surely that is not healthy.

Changed my room around today...

At night, i shorted a psu to power a few led fans to keep my monitors cool and to light up the space behind them, i might invest in an led strip for behind the monitors. I am currently re-doing my room so i sacrificed my modding work bench for a double bed and a wardrobe unit. Once i get all that in place its time for me to upgrade my rig, i think i will be saving for an ssd first off. Then a better graphics card in 2-4 months hopefully and then a new motherboard and cpu in about 6-8 months if i can afford it. Then after that a soundcard. Xbox is barely used.

What size are those monitors?

I don't know if it looks misleading, but on that picture it looks like you would be looking down a lot rather than forwards?

After using the setup for a few days it is no problem, the bottom screens are eye level and the top screen i need to look up.

What it will look like:

My pc will remain in the same position.

What program do people use to mock these up? I always use paint and end up looking like a spastic lmao

That is similar to my plan, i will have my a strip of leds stuck to the bottom of the shelf, yours looks pretty awesome so i cant wait till i get mine sorted

Cinema 4d but its pricey, blender and sketchup do the same job but they are free

 

[remember300]

So an update to this is in order, lets start, i visited the university i am going to be going to yesterday and i was inspired by the whole modern interior design they had going on. Its about time i got new furniture anyway as my desk doesn't accommodate my PC, my chair has a bum print that has worn through to the springs, my wardrobe door is hanging off and my bed is broken (Don't ask) and too small.
So, with the wonders of the internet and me persuading my Dad i am getting a 3 piece furniture set for my room which looks flipping amazing, then i found somebody selling a university desk and chair for £70 and the desk is perfect depth for my PC, i am also getting a luxurious leather double bed (if i get a job). This weekend im going to go past the fast food places and hotels just to get a basic job. Hopefully it is a fast food place as i prefer working there. Anyway, i have some pictures of the new furniture im getting and as i do, i made some renders. I am thinking of getting a 2mx1m canvas of an OC3D logo :lol: Would look awesome but i might just get a little square canvas of the OC3D logo. Pictures and renders:
3 piece bedroom set

bed

desk and chair

renders

Another update, i can't get the white desk so i am going to compromise and get a black ikea desk for £15 which is amazing so i am going to wrap it in white. Also i am getting 2 new monitors, 23" HP monitor and 22" iiyama. I will sell my old 1280x1024 aoc monitor and my 2x 1280x768 monitors which might be enough for a 2nd HP monitor but i think i will put the money towards some PC upgrades though as that is more urgent I will get some more renders, here are the pictures

monitors

The back of the HP monitor is so sexy that heaven forbid what im going to do to it when i get it. :dribble:
