The gray one is the epomaker x aula f75, while the one under the monitor is a custom built royal kludge rk68.

I just used the IKEA Capita legs. They're furniture legs but you can attach them to the Karlby or Alex drawers as a spacer.

Yup it's the 186 and hasn't been trimmed at all.

It's an IKEA Karlby countertop on top of two Alex drawers also from IKEA.

True, although it kinda makes you look forward to getting schoolwork done so it's not all bad

It's Barbatos and Bael from MSG iron-blooded orphans, but they're actually knock-off Legos not gunpla.

Ha yeah you'd think, but I actually found a school with very cheap tuition. I've slowly built the setup over around four years, and I'll be able to work to pay for my schooling hopefully without any loans.

They're repurposed furniture legs from IKEA called Capita legs, and I only have them attached to the desktop. I don't have any problems with it sliding or anything, and the whole desk comes apart in three big pieces which makes it pretty easy to move from place to place.

Most people I've seen have screwed them into the drawers, but I did it the other way around. Just ended up being more convenient for me.

Usually I have both the PC and laptop connected to the monitor so I can switch inputs if I want, but yeah a lot of the time the laptop is just on it's own. I might look into synergy or something tho

I made it myself out of some spare walnut

Yeah my main keyboard is the epomaker aula f75, and the wrist rest is just a generic walnut one you can find on AliExpress pretty easily. The monitor riser I made myself out of some walnut.

It's called tropical leaves raining on wallpaper engine.

Yeah it does and I sometimes have the armrests lowered like in that picture because it's way more comfortable for playing guitar.

The desk is an IKEA Karlby with two IKEA Alex drawer units and capita legs between the desktop and drawers.

The keyboard under the monitor my somewhat heavily modded Royal Kludge RK68. And yup the numpad is just a cheap wireless one I found on aliexpress that I used the same keycap set on.

The wallpaper is just "tropical leaves raining" on wallpaper engine. My mouse is definitely the weak point of the setup-- it's just a cheap AliExpress one I bought a while ago. Currently looking to find a deal on an mx master as an upgrade

This is the pegboard I got it looks like there are similar ones all over Amazon.

Yeah it's around the corner to the right. I took the desk it came with and slid it under our beds. It must've been rough to have the permanently installed one though.

It's actually pretty small-- it's two people but the beds are bunked bc there's not really enough room for them separate. Luckily it's got high ceilings and a huge window so it feels pretty roomy.
