generally the stopper for people using nice microphones is requiring an interface, but if you play a musical instrument you probably already own an interface. A good microphone can be had for $100, I personally use an AKG D5

I stream games sometimes, and it picks up noise there which isnt a big deal, but for anything recorded, a simple click filter cuts the noise.

Also I redid the wiring on the desk to be a little bit cleaner, and am going to use the cable box behind the monitor, so we'll see how it looks tomorrow

How are you guys handling your headphones cables? I got a hook to hang mine under my desk, but my dac (which sits on the desktop since it has the volume control) has the jack output at the front, so the cables run over the desk, and are starting to annoy me.

I keep my controller a few inches from my keyboard, I spool up the slack and velcro tied it together and keep it under one of the legs of my keyboard. it stays hidden pretty well under the keyboard and I have adequate slack for sitting in my normal position.

I like it.

I just switched from a case with the window on the right to a case with the window on the left and it's hosed my poo poo all up but if I had a skinny table/sideboard/whatever thing like that to put the PC on it might solve some of my problems.

Its called a Console Table! There's a ton of them on Amazon. I had never heard of them till a few days ago when I started a search with "small table".

Pease, I keep my piss jugs next to the bed, the desk is just surrounded by a graveyard of La Croix cans.

Real answer is that I always wanted a stupid, tacky build. None of my friends that come over know anything about gaming PCs, or give a poo poo about my “rig”. Once the novelty wears off in a few months the table will go in the hall and the case will go in the bottom left corner of the desk.

I've got a kid on the way and I have prepared by building my new pc in a case with all the buttons behind a locked panel :colbert:

what?

This and cat hair.

If my PC is on the floor I need to open it up and clean all the filters/blow out the heatsinks roughly every 2-3 months. With it on my desk it usually isn't too bad even after a year.

I keep considering buying one of those under-desk hanging mounts since getting a standing desk though because with the desk at standing height my tower is tall enough that it occludes my Vive lighthouses for the nearby corner of the room.

The amount of dust on the floor is exponentially higher than on top of a table + you can vaccum the floor properly.

Double butcher block desks in an L-shape with a futon and measly TV in front as a 3rd monitor when needed.

This just has the first coat of finish on it. I hope to complete the finishing process and move this thing upstairs by the end of next weekend.

This is built from a mix of domestic and Baltic birch plywood and assembled using only glue and box joints. The finish is natural-colored Danish Oil, a blend of oil and varnish that is really easy to apply, but requires about a day between coats.





The shelves will hold the computer in order to keep it away from the floor to reduce dust ingress and to keep the top-mounted power button away from my ten-month-old daughter's tiny probing fingers. The top measures 24" deep and 60" wide. The monitors are attached to extending monitor arms mounted to the wall.

Is that a laser printer? You know that regularly inhaling toner dust has been linked to serious health problems right? You shouldn't have the printer right next to where you sit if you can avoid it.

Wouldn't the printer have to be operating constantly for that to even be a concern?
