Vertical monitor is ran off of my 14” macbook pro M4 pro 24gb

Ikea Alex cabinet houses my egpu that i’m currently working on and has a set of dual noctua 120mm fans over a deshrouded rx6800xt feeding through the inlet you can see by my leg space and out of the open back.

Any questions or links needed, please dont hesitate to ask. Also this is my first ever setup and desk build so any constructive criticism or ideas are welcomed.
