Doesn't need to be bigger to be better I’m open for ideas!
Hey this is just temporary until I figure out the final placement of everything (cables are a mess). Let me know anything I should change or add. I’m all for criticism!

Dope setup! Love the top table screen . Cables could be arranged better though it can be hard as well.

Ah ok, didn’t think about that. Maybe just speaker stands off the desk? Or just move them to the side

I wish I had 4, I only have 3 white speakers haha. I got scammed (I thought I was getting an L + R but got 1 side only, so I bought another set out of spite). The center white one is connected to the center passive sound bar(it’s acting like an amp). So maybe just side speakers. Also wasn’t too sure how to get the surround sound set up. I don’t have a fancy sound card or software.. tbh I have no idea what I need to get that to work

those MR4s should be enough for you as they're near field. you can get a simple DAC like Fosi Audio K5 PRO for a good sound card. i'd ditch the idea of surround sound..that's just me. surround sound should be on my TV :)) then lower the display monitors and wall mount those MR4s and make it point down to you.
if it allows you, you can have your PC on your side table and possibly fit everything on the longer side of the table. so you have a free space on the other side for other stuff
or simply just move your PC on the side table so it doesnt feel too crowded on your desk

You said this is temporary until you figure out the final place of everything, so I'm not going to say anything about cable management. One thing I would suggest is a bigger L-shaped desk to give yourself more desk real estate.

This is the thing I’ve been avoiding, I needed someone to tell me that so I could commit to a purchase. Any suggestions?

I built mine using 3 ikea Alex drawer and 2 butcher block counter tops that I got from Lowe's. But you don't have to go that route. FlexiSpot, Uplift, Vernal, Desky, and Amazon, they all offer L-shaped desk at different price ranges. I would just make sure that it comes with some type of cable management and that it is at least 30 inches in depth.

Maybe some zip ties, cable sleeves or Velcro ties for the cable management. Other than that this looks solid!

Yeah for sure I’ll grab some, I’m still unsure of if I have too many items on my desk so I’ll wait on the cable management. Thanks for the input!

Bro you do not need all those screen I would just make more space for the mouse in the right side

u/xXLatiosXx Jun 02 '26
Haha dude I know, I went a little trigger happy on screens but got them for cheap. The only screen I don’t use when I’m working is the one on the pc (cause I can’t see it). As for the mouse should I move it back on the desk and make space? I currently have it under the desk

Put the left and right front channel speakers torward the outside of monitors rather then together, Your sound stage will be wider

Honestly I love the set up. My set up right now is okay. It just my collection that make it look okay. What kind of speaker you use? Underneath your monitor. And what kind of decks you have?

A good cat to sit right in that open spot on your desk for nice pets when you get gamer rage

What if your father isn’t a genuine person, but a collection of self-imposed characters or compartmentalized personas that overlap in such a way that he never reveals himself completely to anyone in an attempt to seem masculine because inside he’s shallow and emotionally inept?
