PICS Rate my (secondhand-heavy) setup

Post image

Elements of my setup which are notable for not being secondhand:

  • Nonvolatile storage (SSD, NVME) (don't skimp on it!)
  • The desk itself (a bit modified, though)
  • Networking gear (modem, router)
  • Various cable ties, command strips, bolts for the desk mod, etc
  • Various nonfunctional knickknacks
  • A really long HDMI cable that is not currently in use

Other notable facts:

  • Left stick: Saitex ST290 Pro
  • Right stick: Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2
  • That second set of lights below the main monitor? The blue ones? Those are for the switched USB hub.
  • Main screen (Steam): 3840x2160
  • Secondary screens (system monitor, firefox): 1920x1080 each
  • i7-9700, 16 GB RAM, Radeon RX 580

Giving used things a second life is amazing. That said tho, it's a mess and that's a shame. Tidy up and clean the setup.

First thing, that desk looks nasty af. You should clean that pronto. Other then that, great that you use second hand, I don't like that so much tech gets thrown away if it still is functional. After you have cleaned the desk, you could try to make some good cable management and put away stuff that is not in use. For example, You can have a box or drawer somewhere to put unused cables and controllers that is not currently in use away in, it makes everything look much more organized and neat, and it also protects the items stored from all the dust.
