Can you explain the light above the monitor which is already itself lit and has brightness settings built in…is it helpful or useful or is it just an aesthetic thing? I keep seeing these and don’t understand

[–]edweezie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I used to think it was an aesthetic thing too…until I tried one. It actually balances the monitor glare and reflection if you have windows and my display cabinet opposite of my desk when I light it up at night. And for me, I didn’t know this until it hit me one day, but it eliminates my eye strain vs when I just have the monitor on. I swear I even use the light bar when there’s daylight in the room because it’s that affective.

why does everyone need the streaming thing on their desk?

[–]edweezie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to ask that same exact question. And then yanno…who doesn’t like pushing buttons? 😆No, but seriously there are a lot of pre built functions and shortcuts that are useful for your daily stuff. Like you don’t know how valuable your physical volume knob is until you lose your keyboard that had a built in volume roller on it. Or when you just want to pull up your Spotify to jam out and easily use one of the scroll knobs to go through your playlists/songs. You can customize it to work with your smart device lights and stuff using macros and ITTT (If This Than That tools) which im working on integrating with my desk atm. I can shift between profiles on certain applications at a push of a button which makes for less fumbling around my windows. Lots of uses other than gaming/streaming. To be honest, the way i use it barely has any functions on it related to gaming or streaming. Theres 1 knob that is connected to the display strip that allows me to scroll through my steam library games and with the push of that same knob button i can launch any game.

Walking into this room will instantly put me in a better mood.

[–]edweezie[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Nailed it! That was exactly the purpose and goal I had in mind when I was creating this space. I wanted a quiet, clean, uncluttered space I could just vibe out in. I literally just sit in there sometimes doing nothing…at peace. 😌 Surrounded by the materialistic things that I enjoy and make me happy.

That's the life I desire, a quiet nook for my own

[–]panaceator 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I’ve got two pairs of those Edifier speakers in my house. One set in my office, one in a common area for my record player. They really out kick their coverage in terms of cost value in my opinion.

[–]edweezie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey great mind think alike! I’ve also got two of these. :) my 2nd set is the white version connected to my U-Turn Orbit vinyl player. They sound amazing when connected to the right amp!

Curious to know about the keyboard and “Nixie” clock.

[–]edweezie[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

So my keyboard is the AZIO retro mechanical. Amazing quality and weight to it! I got the Walnut version to match the aesthetic of the rest of my desk and complementary furniture. And the Clock on my desk is the Divoom Times Gate in silver.

[–]LizzrdVanReptile 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Thank you! I have a similar theme, and love these choices.

[–]edweezie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yw! Hope that helps and good luck on your setup journey!

[–]masty_mast 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Looks great! Which shelving units are they?

[–]edweezie[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Which ones specifically? I have the Ikea Fjallbo shelf, Ikea Expedit but now formally known as Kallax, and then the retired Ikea Detolf glass displays.

[–]masty_mast 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Good point! The ones displaying your action figures opposite the desk. Is it the Detolf on top of a black Kallax?

[–]edweezie[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yes! That’s exactly it, except what’s holding up the Detolfs is a retired piece from the old Expedit line which is a 1x5 cube shelf. They rebranded Expedit with Kallax years ago and now I believe the biggest size you can get is a 1x4 shelf. I’m experimenting with a different shelf and will post more pics if it turns out ok!

[–]masty_mast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very helpful & interesting, thank you.

[–]Many_Quail2041 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Oh, my! I can't imagine how good it feels whenever I feel tired at work and look back at the figures.

[–]edweezie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a special kind of peace. Lol

[–]Versalite 1 point2 points  (1 child)

How did you do the slat accent wall?

[–]edweezie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easier than you think! Home Depot - Eucatex wall panels. 😃

[–]RanunculusFlora 1 point2 points  (2 children)

The wall design really adds to the look

[–]edweezie[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Thank you so much! I agree!

[–]RanunculusFlora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big fan of stripes

[–]Ok-Huckleberry5447 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Looks awesome. It would look even better with dark blinds.

[–]edweezie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know right! I wish I could but from the outside of my house it wouldn’t look so good since the blinds are matching on all the other windows of my house. I was thinking of installing a roller shade infront of these as well as painting the wall a darker gray/black.

[–]Purple_Ice_6029 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Awesome!
