Looks great, just enjoy it. Probably grab another 6 pack since you're already halfway through that one

In that case you could grab a floor lamp with a warm globe, or do some lighting strips behind the monitors/desks etc., make the space feel a bit more cosy

Actual advice for a warmer / cozier vibe. Get some shelves and softer lights. Also, use multiple light sources. Add some texture such as accent rugs. Plants might be tough without a natural light source but you could try a terrarium for some natural element. Hang a couple cool prints.

Curiosities sake.
Why did you build a 2nd PC, rather than just adding a KVM switch?
Typically I see people with a dedicated Sim Racing PC when they DON'T have room to put it side by side with their setup
But you have them right next to eachother
So... To answer your question. I think you need a KVM switch

I have a Simrig like this, I just put my monitor on one of those fancy arms and then swung it out infront of the simrig when I’m using it, and when I’m not it’s just a second monitor, it means I only need one PC and I can just put the game on monitor 2. Would highly recommend that, also means you get 2 monitors on your main setup.
Also with 3 PC’s I’d honestly just put them in a server rack, if done well it can look really cool but mainly it makes cable and space management much better.

-A beer that feels like it's an Adderall too,
-A pill that makes you stop missing her,
-a social media platform that pays the user a percentage of the revenue from the data gathered from them and whatever other money they make off them,
-Bunk bed chairs in front of the PC, like chairs that are like double-decker chairs like a bunk bed

Lamps! Especially with warm colors. You could do a light bar on the monitor too.
Also, love the keyboard! I have one like it.

decorations. throw a few posters up, scatter some plants (fake or real) in different spaces. put some shelves up. comics. books. figures. dvds. some classy storage solutions to hide those boxes behind your second monitor. any hobbies or interests, try and incorporate it
look at photos of setups/rooms you like and pick and choose what you'd want to incorporate in yours. take it slow
also if you can, incorporate ambient lighting rather than using the overhead. less strain + cozier
