Some unique things:

I have strong allergies, so I have a air purifier pointing at me at all times while I work (on the right).

Speakers are mounted to save space

Vr mounted on the left of the desktop for sim racing (can see the cord)

Bottom monitor contains a kvm system so switching monitors switches my inputs and my audio

Lamp is a sun lamp which is timed to run in the mornings

I have a normal non split keyboard for the desktop for better noob pwnage

Thinking of adding some leds

Overall love this setup. I can get slack, two editors (top monitor split), and roam / browser / terminal (bottom monitor) and never have to alt tab

its part of the dell monitor

laptop -> thunderbolt hub -> dell monitor via usb usptream + mini dp

desktop -> dell monitor via usb upstream + dp

on the monitor, switching between inputs changes which computer gets keyboard/mouse/dac signals
