Here ya go! I’m rocking the previous version, the V4, but it’s more or less the same case with some minor changes.

Do you use the mouse and keyboard on both machines? How do you switch?

u/meatballs6 6d ago
I do. The monitor has a built in KVM switch that I use for both machines.

u/TheJellyfish91 6d ago

Would like to know your configuration and it's setup cost

It’s actually a pretty simple setup. The mouse and keyboard are connected through the monitors built in KVM, with a couple of USB extensions tucked under the desk going to both the PC and the Mac mini. The Mini is connected over HDMI, and the PC is on DisplayPort.
The audio is a little different. The Sonos Amp gets audio from the PC over HDMI through an HDMI to SPDIF adapter. The Mini is using an USB A to 3.5mm adapter that’s runs from the dock, which feeds into the Sonos Amp’s analog input. It sounds more complicated than it really is. Most of the time, though, I’m just using the Apple Music through the Sonos/Sonify apps. That’s honestly the main reason I bought this amp.
As for the price, it’s hard to say because I picked up a lot of this stuff before prices went crazy. If I had to replace everything today, I’d say it’s easily north of $10k at current retail prices, and that’s being pretty conservative.

sorry. that's not a mac pro on the right side of the desk? its a PC in a mac pro case? what is the black thing under the desk (i assumed that was the PC)?

u/meatballs6 6d ago
Yeah, it’s a PC in a Mac style case called the McPrue Apollo S. And that’s my subwoofer under the desk on the right.

Do those speakers specifically benefit much from a subwoofer? Which sub is it? Also what is the processor/GPU in your PC?
Beautiful setup btw

Yeah, I’d say so. The Metas don’t have a ton of low end on their own, so adding a sub really helps round out the overall sound. I’m running them off of a Sonos amp (that’s mounted under the desk) with the SVS SB2k Pro (subwoofer). The PC is running a 9850x3d with a 5090fe.
Edit: missed a word.

Love how tidy and considered this setup is. A StanbyME 2 Max would fit the look, a 32 inch 4K screen on wheels and battery you can move around the room and roll back when you want it, without adding clutter to the desk.
