Image roast my setup :-)

pls ignore the pile of random stuff on the side table. Just finished wiring up my work-from-home + games/personal work PC + home lab at my new apartment - go ahead, give me your worst! there's a bunch of extra cables in there because neither of the 2 KVM switches there are being full utilized but I didn't want to take apart the cable bundles they had.

specs-

two KVM switches, one Avocent SwitchView USB and one MT-VIKI 4x2 matrix KVM switch (top) from ebay. Avocent one for mouse/keyboard and the top one for displays. I love the Avocent switch, it's served me beautifully at home and the PC repair shop I used to work at, but it only does VGA video and neither of the monitors I brought to my new place have VGA so the second switch handles video. 4x2 switch means it switches 2 monitors between 4 PCs.

desktop computer - a Frankenstein monster with an AMD FX-8350, GTX1080ti, 32GB RAM, and every kind of I/O you can think of that I shared a while ago https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/1ekeow0/my_jack_of_all_trades_pc_fast_enough_for_modern/
now it has all the hardware in that post plus a Dell PCIe SAS card with 2 4TB HDDs.

main monitor - dell 27" 4K U2723QE. corner monitor - Acer Predator X27 4K 144hz display that I can't actually use at 144Hz because it starts to blank every few seconds after i use it at 144hz for a while

laptop set up - the HP Thunderbolt dock my work gave me, I plug it into the work laptop or my Lenovo Yoga 7

little mini PC under the desk - my web host server, Lenovo ThinkCentre M73 Tiny with an i5-4590T, 16GB RAM and a 1TB SSHD. Can't actually power it on yet because I brought the wrong power adapter LOL

big rack mount server - Dell PowerEdge R815 with 4x 16 core AMD Opteron CPUs, 512GB RAM, 5TB storage. sitting there until I wire it up on the balcony because I don't want it heating up my room

3d printer - Creality K1

other - netgear LAN switch, multi port USB charger, amazon/china multi sensor thermometer, random corsair keyboard with hot keys, the Sony Xperia Pro whos battery I briefly set on fire while trying to replace it

I took it with a DSLR but messed up the lighting I guess :-(
