What mount are you using? I want do do that but can't find a mount for My two monitors that would fit. I have a 34 inch 21:9 and 27 inch 16:9. Both on ergotronic arms at the moment.

I'm curious about this. I know curved monitors suck for being TVs in rooms where more than one person watches at a time, but do they really suck as computer monitors, where one person is in the ideal viewing position all the time?

Some crappy monitors have light bleed issues in the corners, and on smaller monitors it doesn't help a lot, but otherwise no, it's really fun and cool.

Even expensive monitors have light bleed. See: XB270HU & XB271HU.

I had an ergotron dual mount when I had them side by side. Picked up this one for the vertical setup.

If you line up the monitors to get rid of the hole it's far less usable. Viewing angle on both monitors gets screwed up. If going vertical you really have to angle the bottom monitor up and the top monitor down.

Built my wife a desk. The cabinets are from Lowe's and are the same as the kitchen. The desktop is a piece of marble that's the same as the kitchen counters. The tiles are similar to the kitchen backsplash but light instead of dark.





had the marble guy cut a couple of holes for wire management

No, it works great (unless you regularly draw straight lines), you sit in the sweet spot and near enough that is actually beneficial and not a stupid, adverse gimmick like with TVs.

Nice, you did a really good job. I like how well it mixes with the rest of the room, feels much more natural and comfortable I imagine.

Oddball place to ask, but I'm pondering a decoration for a tempered glass panel on a desk. Is something like a vinyl decal a go-to for option for that? The look I'm going for would be a logo that looks like it's etched/printed on the glass, clear all around it. (so not a solid background color around the logo)

It's actually an uplift900 that I bought a couple years ago. Likely uses the same exact components though.

The control panel looks identical to my Autonomous frame. I noticed that Lian Li's new adjustable desk / computer case combo also has the same panel, so it's probably some Chinese ODM.

Finally finished rebuilding my office at the weekend into the attic room. The room isn't much bigger than a walk-in closet and behind where I was standing to take the picture is a chest of draws and plastic storage bins.



Ended up building my own desk from a kitchen counter-top, got the legs from an ironmonger and then had them powder coated.

The TV aerial socket in the wall is because my original plan was to wall mount a TV, but ended up not doing it in the end.

£190 for the Iroko worktop (2000 x 720 mm)
£170 for the pair of legs (including having them painted)
£20 for the danish oil to treat the worktop and miscellaneous fixings for the legs

Considering the size of it and the quality of the individual parts it worked out really well for the money!

I got myself an IKEA Bekant with a nominal cable net, but turns out there's literally no space left due to the supporting beam and the elevation PSU.

I am firmly against drilling when it comes to cable management, so what's the best way to mount or fit my power sockets to the desk in a way that allows me to keep adding and removing plugs as well as the sockets themselves?

I was thinking about some hard tape, but I don't know whether that sort will tear off half my table with it when I peel it off.

I'm sure they're some neat, obscure things to buy, but they'll have to be available from Amazon.co.uk or somewhere else that ships within EU.

All tapes and double sided glue pads have been either too weak or didn't work with stuff that gets warm and weakens the glue for me. Some screws on the underside and tent repair elastic band between them to bind stuff up in combination with cable clips worked best for me for tucking all the power strips, power bricks and cables to the underside of my Galant.

I'll try some minor tape solutions like you suggest while leaving out major scotch tape for the socket then. It's also hella expensive anyway.

Anyone know if heat guns work to remove adhesive tape in general or if that's something I should just forego immediately?

Someone also suggested a light glue gun that doesn't peel off the surface when you remove it.

European (ie different sockets), so I basically have to retrofit my existing ones. They also cost a bit on their own here, too, and I have a bunch lying around.
