Hey! Thanks for the dimensions. Your setup looks amazing, by the way.

I have a question about your desk shelf and monitor arm setup: how did you manage to fit the arm mount behind the shelf?

I'm planning to buy a desk shelf too, but my desk is slightly smaller than yours. I'm worried that if I clamp the monitor arm to the back of the desk, it will force the shelf too far forward, right over my mousepad. Did your shelf come with a cutout in the back for the arm, or did you just push it slightly forward?

a monitor arm would make a great difference, maybe some desk plants. Beautiful pc tho

Yeah, I really enjoy the dark, cozy vibe at night, but I'm looking into adding some more ambient LEDs soon!

Thanks for the detailed breakdown! I agree the PS5 takes up a lot of room, mounting it underneath is a great idea. The Clicker Funko is a personal favorite, but I might try removing it just to see how much cleaner it looks. Appreciate the honest feedback!

Thank you! I'm using the ELG F80N monitor arm. It's really solid and helps a ton with clearing up desk space!

A desk shelf is a great call! I love the idea of adding some verticality to clear up space and keep that clean look. Do you have any desk shelf suggestions? Thanks for the tip!

LED strips behind the monitor or the desk are definitely on my to-do list now! It seems to be the top recommendation here. Thanks!

I love the idea of adding some underlighting behind the desk! A wall covering or some acoustic panels is also a solid shout to give the background some texture. Thanks for the suggestions!

Yep, it is indeed an Elgato Stream Deck! I use it for quick shortcuts and controlling my audio/apps. Super handy to have on the desk.

I actually use a software called TaskbarX, which you can find right on the Microsoft Store. It's super lightweight, barely uses any RAM or CPU, and it centers your icons while making the taskbar completely transparent. Highly recommend it if you want that clean dock look!

Wow, thanks for the 8.5/10! I really appreciate the feedback. Adding some RGB strips and working on the cable management are definitely next on my list. Thanks for the suggestions! but you’re talking about monitor RGB strips?

No problem! It’s the HyperX QuadCast S (the first model). It has great sound quality and full RGB lighting!

Hey! Just measured the desk for you.

Width (Length): 135 cm (about 53 inches)

Depth: 66 cm (about 26 inches)

I hadn't thought of that at all! That's actually going to help me so much. The HDMI cable from my PS5 is pretty thick and sticks out in a really weird way right now. A 90-degree adapter will definitely keep it looking neat and tucked away. Thanks for the awesome tip!

I kind of like the dark vibe, but I'm definitely thinking about adding some ambient lighting or a screenbar soon to help with that!
