My first pc setup (Pic)

2010(ish)

I borrowed a 27" Vizio TV from my mom bc I couldn't afford a monitor yet and had the cheapest razer keyboard on the market.
A gtx 960 in the cheapest case on Amazon




Never forget where you came from bros

Aware of dat early-mid 2010s gaming aesthetic

Looks so tacky now but I had a white nzxt case with blue lights/small trapezoidal air vents. it had random asymmetrical angles to make it look agile and dangerous like an alien spaceship. First build with a gtx 970 and a 4570k i think

This was my first setup . I’ve throw the desk away since , but because I found I like the ergonomics of corner desks so much , I’m going to build a double corner desk , so that I have a gaming rig on the left like it is now with an ultra wide , and a dual monitor photo editing suite on the right . I’m not going to do a drop down keyboard though, as it’s more ergonomic when you can place your keyboard where you want obviously

I just recently switched to a corner desk.

Well I bought a second version of my same desk and just stuck it on the corner


Now my side desk holds my record player but I kept it mostly open to use for drawing (art gang)

Should have went corner style a long time ago tbh

You have to use your imagination as I didn’t have photoshop at the time , but this gives you an idea of what I’d like . On the very closest part of the desk on the left , I’d have it open , and raise the computer a few inches below the desks top , not closed as it is now . That way I could see my gaming machine from the side as you enter the room .
As you probably remember, I have a dedicated 34” oled monitor for the gaming rig .

On the right side corner of the desk , I’d have my 2-27” Apple studio monitors , with the MacBook Pro to the right of the monitors.
My buddy says it will look too busy , but imo it would be very functional being able to slide your chair over from one computer to the other depending on whether you want to game or do photo editing

Busy is OK of it's functional but everyone has their own style. I just have too many things and do too many things for an overly minimalist setup.

Here's where we are today. Not pictured is the absolute rats nest of cables hiding under the corner of the desk.

Ya that’s a crazy looking setup you have there. Funny how easy it is for things to get busy looking
