Little by little I’ve been piecing my setup, it was clustered before but I was able to get shelf on the wall with help from bf. Love it! Not what I imagined when I thought of my setup. WIP

I do plan on getting shelves, posters, and naumoo hooks but beyond that I'm stuck on what to improve

Just got my new desk and still organizing wires

Parts list in case I get questions:

Desk Build

• Desk: Lowe’s Sparrow Peak 8 foot Ebony Butcher Block Countertop (was gonna go Karlby but this is full hardwood instead of particle board/veneer for basically the same price). Just added 4 coats of Waterlox sealer for protection.
• Legs: VIVO dual motor standing desk legs
• Dressers: IKEA Alex drawers
• Chair: Corsair T3 Rush

PC Build

• CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D
• CPU Cooler: Thermalight Peerless Assassin 120SE
• GPU: Radeon 7900XT
• Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX ATX

• PSU: Corsair RM1000E
• Case: Be Quiet! Pure Base 500 FX ATX
• Keyboard: Corsair K70 RGB Pro

I’m happy with it personally, I genuinely only play counter strike these days (and haven’t played games for almost two years before this point)

I built my setup back in December 2019 and it’s still holding strong :)

So got my desk done last night since my butcher block came in. I knew I wanted the Ikea Alex style but not the limited sizes of their desk and counter tops (particularly the depth.) So i ordered a custom-sized butcher clock from a local company (96 x 30.)

I loved the drawers and faux drawer from my old desk so decided to keep those and make my own tops for them which I just wood glued on (the boards were about $20 all together plus paint and I have a good amount left over) and to top it off I used 2 inch table legs as spacers (each set of 4 was $10 on Amazon but I recommend creating two separate orders because I initially ordered a quantity of two and they sent me one so I had to order another set get a partial refund for the first order.)

Overall I love it. I have the g9 57" as my primary monitor so the depth is a blessing and being able to comfortably have my monitor, desktop, accessories, etc on my desk is great.

The height from floor to desktop is 34". I consider it a great "middle" height because even though it isn't a standing desk it's pretty comfortable to stand and stretch my legs for a while when doing productivity stuff (I don't like looking down while gaming.)

Still a ways to go in this room with paint, lighting, etc but my rig and desk are complete so at least I'm good to go while getting that stuff figured out.

I wish this sub allowed multiple pics. I took a bunch of WIP ones and it stinks not being able to share those.

Thanks to all of you for the pics and inspiration. This is a great community.

My Setup. Yes I like ROG 😁
