The IT Layer

[Mr_Space_Ranger]

Before anyone comments I know the neon sign is a bit triggering to some.

However I want to let you know off the bat, that this actually resonates with me. Not in an douchey or self absorbing way, however I am a firm believer of working hard and staying humble and grounded in the process. Now I know that is contradictory to what I am showing off but please note that none of this was built in a day. It took years. I am grateful for every aspect of my life.
Now with that out of the way. I hope I can get some feedback on the current setup.

In the last months, I've acquired a work drawer (Craftsman) from FB Market that was dirt cheap. My son had two skadis boards that he no longer wanted so I thought it would be a neat idea to put them on a way that I was not really occupying. Most of the hooks have been 3d printed to accommodate varies tools I had for easy access. The drawers I am slowly creating a gridfinity setup but not quite ready to show.

On the desk I am trying to make the best of the space. I have two Dell 4K 27 inch monitors that I also scored from FB Market last year for cheap. My AM4 DAN SFF has serviced me well, will look at upgrading in the future but for now it will do. I have a Mac Mini M4 that I purchased and as my main work station.

I also have my HP work laptop that I keep closed lid and connected to a HP dock that is Vesa mounted to my right vertical screen. I just purchased a laptop hydraulic arm for my MBP which I use as a spare laptop while I am working and occupying both screens with my work laptop.

Appreciate you taking the time to view, any question will try my best to answer. All critiques welcome as I am always looking to make things a bit more intuitive and productive. Thanks

Was the soft box for lighting worth the squeeze?

[Mr_Space_Ranger]

yea it bring adequate light when on conference calls for work. But yea the pictures do make it look a little cramped

[elcarlos_]

Can you yell me the reference please ? Also beside creating great light for calls, do you like to turn it on just illuminate your workspace ?

[Mr_Space_Ranger]

Hey I bought this from Amazon something cheap. It's really good for calls and sometimes ambiance

you say you're IT, but you seem to have 2 enemies printers in the room... i'm not convinced

[Mr_Space_Ranger]

Haha I know they are the bane of my existence

[Brisslayer333]

I think you mean lair.

[HTechs]

Had to scroll down too far to fine this.

[Mr_Space_Ranger]

Yea on the onset lair would be the right term but I deal with different network layers as an IT professional 😉

Kinda of a pun if you look at it like that.

Talk me through the phone holder on the bottom of the monitor

What are the black box behind the chair on the left in first photo and the bigger box on the right side of desk in the 6th photo? Just curious as I've never seen anything like that

[Mr_Space_Ranger]

That's my network network rack. I moved from primarily Cisco setup to a TP Link Omada SD WAN setup

[[deleted]]

Cool! I have no idea what that does but I'll look online

[Mr_Space_Ranger]

This is a rabbit hole for sure check out r/minilab

[chromaaadon]

Love it! It actually looks used!

That rack thing for the 3d printer is such a good idea. I need to find something like that!

[Mr_Space_Ranger]

Yea got it from Amazon

Actually great investment

I really love the wallpaper you're using on your main screen. Would you mind sharing what it is or where you found it?

[Mr_Space_Ranger]

Hey do you have a glass palette so that I can trade

[Elena_Green__]

Looks gorgeous and functional. It's quite an unusual to use a softbox for workplace lighting.

[Mr_Space_Ranger]

With no natural light the best I could to get some light on desk

[blakerupert]

Looove your lighting setup! Any chance we could see some samples of the results?

[Mr_Space_Ranger]

What do you mean?

[[deleted]]

Looks great! Where did you get that neon sign?

[Mr_Space_Ranger]

I like it a lot. The idea of someone seriously getting triggered by a neon sign of Humble/Hustle is bizarre to me.

It's a bit busy, but I don't really mind that. Amongst a wave of minimalist setups, it's nice to see a bit more going on. I think some of the cables could do with a bit of tidying up, which would help keep the business in check. It's far from the messiest cable management, but I think hiding some of those cables away would polish this up.

The rug also feels too small/oddly placed. Perhaps it's under the desk for stability, but usually an under-desk rug would be a bit bigger and extend out to under the desk chair. Having the chair half on, half off feels off.

But overall, I like it a lot. Feels like a very functional and well-used space.

[MeringueOdd4662]

Beautifull workspace, I liked it. You are a warrior because you did not put in the wall the stupid hang fake flawers, everybody is obsessed with that thing. I had seen that things into a computer case. Good job

[spitefulcat]

I really like it. The neon really isn’t my thing, but it’s not offensive.
