My current battle station. I was looking to get a nice speaker setup to finish it off. This is my work from home setup and occasional gaming. I usually use a headset for games but I would like a nice set of speakers for conference calls and music.
I was looking into the Audioengine A2+. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
LG OLED C4 55” LG WOLED 39” 240hz
❤️
Setup:
Table: Massive Wood. Import from Turkey 200x(60-90)x10cm Philips Hue strips and bars behind the screen.
Hope you like it as much as I do!
We've just moved to a new place where there was only space for a small desk 120x60, so you need to be creative and I think it went very well with this compact battlestation 😊
New AIO coming tomorrow
What you think?
Just finished the shelving today.
Now I need some displates above it
I built a 3x6ft mahogany desk to hide my Xbox, PlayStation, and work laptop underneath. I’m excited to finally build a PC again, so ditching the trash can Mac and Xbox in exchange for a decent GIS mapping and gaming computer.
Any advice for a case? The C2 42” is plenty big and won’t be disturbed by an equally large case, but I was thinking of a midsize dual chamber or even an ssf build. I like keeping the computer on the left, seems safer there against the window sill wall (closet door in view behind the Mac). Maybe I need to invert a case or just pivot a case slightly sideways.
Sometimes I feel the C2 is too big for desk work, even at the 90cm viewing distance.

Currently I have 2 side by side horizontal 27 inch monitors and a singe 24 inch vertical monitor. My 2 27 inch monitors are both curved and my 24 is flat. I’m looking to upgrade it because I have a triple monitor arm that my 2 27” monitors are mounted on while my third one is just leaning on it because it doesn’t have a vesa mount.
I am having a hard time deciding between if I want to buy the same monitor I already have 2 of and have them all be matching, or if buying a flat screen monitor would be better to have as a designated vertical monitor.
I already know that I like having a curved vertical monitor because I used to have one for about a month before I sold, but I’ve never had a flat screen vertical monitor.
Do you guys think I would prefer a curved monitor for a vertical or a flat screen monitor?
There’s also the mention of the gap between the monitors. If I have a curved one right up against the side of my main monitor, would it look bad or does it not really matter? I’m just not sure exactly what I’m looking for so i’m reaching out to others to see what they think I should do.
Picture is when I had three curved 27 inch monitors
My PC is a Lenovo Thinkcentre With a gtx 1080 an intel core i5-6500 and 32 gigs of ddr4 ram
Feels like somethings lacking. Any advice would be appreciated.
My little cozy corner setup
I just wanna know if anyone has suggestions on how to make my setup more cozy, this is what I’m working with now. Planning on adding another monitor already got a larger desk same style. I just can’t seem to find good inspo for a good lazy setup.
Nothing crazy. My pic as the background made me happy.
What can I add to make it better
The battle station: dual 1440p monitors with the primary being OLED, custom keyboard, stream mic and headphones, GN desk pad, speed cube, displate, some other art, etc.
The build: GPU is a 4070 TI Super, CPU is a 7700x, 32GB DDR5 6000 cl 30 RAM, 512 GB boot nvme, 4tb mass storage nvme, most water cooling parts are Alphacool, case is a Fractal Design Define 7.
Any ideas? Excluding buying a scalped 9800x3d lol, I do want one eventually, but I want them to be MSRP first.
Updated the basement for 2025
Three setups:
Sim rig running iRacing on a 4080 Super and Samsung 57” G9 or Quest 2 for VR. iLoud Micro Monitors or DT770 80 ohms through an old Monoprice headphone amp for audio. Buttkicker for LFE. Fanatec CSL DD 8nm.
Desk setup running off of my work laptop or Steam deck, with a 34” LG, 25” HP vertical, and 27” Dell, all 1080p. Audio runs through RME ADI-2 DAC FS, Topping A90 (to Audeze LCD-X 2021 or Dan Clark Aeon 2C with perforated pads), iFi Zen Can (usually to HD650s), Marantz PM6006 to Dali Zensor 3s. I have an old Klipsch sub on the B speaker outs/high level input for fun. Microphone is an old Samson G Track on a USB switch so it can be used for either setup. Flexispot standing desk.
Home theater setup is a 77” Sony OLED, Denon AVR, Klipsch surround with SVS sub. PS5. Use Beyerdynamic DT1990s with Dekoni Elite Velour pads on a Qudelix 5k at night. Technics SL-D2 record player with Ortofon 2M Red cartridge.
Can’t upload multiple photos but they’re in my post history.
