shrike82 posted:??? does it do anything special? It takes 5 years to ship It’s supposed to be small, quiet, and have good wifi control. It is however 40lbs, not a split so still noisy, and very much a 1.0 app with broken scheduling and bizarrely no server side storage of temps, no web app either. Looks ok I guess. The rack mount is for the MLB, I don’t actually have a desktop. Although I do have an empty Dan A4 case sitting around. RTX Voice does cover up for its noisy rear end fan.

I just moved, so I have more space, and I'm also working from home. I'm thinking of upgrading to a motorized sit/stand desk. What's the current recommendation for those? I've been looking at this set of legs on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B071KGDGNK/ And an Ikea table top, I guess?

Dang, that's pretty cheap for a dual motor! Is that the exact model you bought in the Amazon link? The control panel looks a little different.

frogbs posted:Dang, that's pretty cheap for a dual motor! Is that the exact model you bought in the Amazon link? The control panel looks a little different. Yeah, they updated the control panel since I got mine. This one has two presets and USB charging ports while mine has four presets and no USB charging ports. The motor controller/power supply and leg mechanism looks the same though. The manual says it's rated to lift 270lbs so I tested it with my 170lb meatsack before setting up my PC. It lifted me all the way up to the max 51 inches without struggling or any hint of instability. Dual motors are totally overkill.

necrobobsledder posted:I have a pair of JBL 530 Studio monitors (40 lbs), a dual monitor mount (10 lbs), two monitors (30 lbs), the acacia table top is 40 lbs, and some accessories at about 10 lbs. If I set down some equipment or lean on the desk in standing position that will all add up enough to make me uncomfortable. The Husky workbench posted above in the thread is rated for 300lbs on top of the tabletop that ships with it. Hand crank only but it’s sturdier and you can get it with locking wheels. There’s also just getting a tall/“adjustable-with tools and some disassembly” workbench, those seem to be rated for 3k lbs. Honestly every time I see people putting mechanical lifting desks in their home offices I think about how my ideal would just be to have everything at benchtop/counter height. They make tall office and task chairs for labs and poo poo, after all.

I'm good with the adjustable desk I've got setup now. I'd probably prefer the two USB ports for charging instead of 2 more memory slots for my desk but I'll live for a good while like this. Besides the manual cranking issue, the workbenches I saw weren't as deep as the countertops I wanted and they were rather darn heavy.

Rearranged from my floor setup. I'm really cramped for space. But the cool thing is I have the Wacom 16" on a stand so its a neat 3rd monitor to fit in. Great viewing angles. The freaking synth is on the floor. I ordered a padded folding chair to replace this horrible chair from the kitchen. I'm thinking of a second 6 foot table (this is 4') to give an L shaped work space. *edit: Oh and I have no room for my 2nd laptop to keep it within reach while at the battlestation. It sucks excellent bird guy fucked around with this message at 02:38 on Jul 20, 2020 |

Right now I'm just standing up and putting the keyboard on the big infinite jest book. That is a CST L-trac, at this current time it's hooked up to the thinkpad. 1) I like the scifi future tech glowing blue orb. 2) trackballs are handy.

I heard that putting the monitor on load tempered glass is a big no no, that it's not load-bearing. So the monitor will collapse into the case and break everything if I don't move it.

A second table would help a lot, yes. A folding X-stand for the Yamaha would help a ton as well, and they can be had pretty cheap. I hope the folding chair you're getting is fancy, because I used one for about three months this spring and it made me sit just about anywhere else, as it made all sorts of things go numb, even being padded.

Folding chairs are not in any way ergonomic. Thrift stores or Craigslist are other good options for better chairs.

I’ve used a rather decent ikea chair (looked it up: MILLBERGET) for like 5 years. It’s $69.99 brand new right now. Sets up in like 15 min, does all the basics an office chair needs to do, very supportive, moves well. Definitely not in the same league as a HM/Steelcase but I’ve been seriously impressed with it for the price.
