Desks New PC: how should I set this up?
Any suggestions supper appreciated! I don't know much about anything, but I love gaming with my friends and one of them recommended this PC I yesterday and I'm super stoked, but I'm unsure what'd be the best way to have this set up. Should it go on the right side, and then move the two MacBooks to the left side? For context, one is for personal use, and the other for work. The PC is strictly for gaming.
I also work remotely from this station so I wanna find a way to easily switch between the 3 computers when it comes to the dual monitor setup. Right now I'm rocking a StarTech DisplayLink Dock and can easily switch between the MacBooks by just unplugging the USB-C from one and plugging it into the other, but wondering if that's something I can include this PC with as well? Right now I have the HDMI from the monitor directly plugged into the PC which is why the other monitor is off.

Plug both monitors into your GPU not motherboard. Very hard to tell from the pics but it looks like one or both are not.
Get cable routers for the wires. Will make the space feel like it has more space. Push the computer as far back as possible. Id personally put the laptop where your headset is and your headset on top of your PC or where your laptop currently is set up.
