Moved my office around to get ready for the new year and was 'downsizing' from a third 27" monitor. Potentially may be swapping the lower monitors for a 49" UW if I can bite the bullet. It's a good set up for bouncing between my work and personal machines, as well as a bonus third machine up top. Need to finish decorating the walls which is likely to include this badass picture that is collecting dust in the basement (https://www.visualcapitalist.com/mapping-every-object-in-our-solar-system/)

LLSix posted:What monitor stand is that? It must be pretty robust to support all three monitors. What are your thoughts on it? It's this guy right here in the link below. It's sturdy AF and I like it. I can't say more other than that it does really well at what it supposed to do and not fall or drop the monitors on my desk. The monitors hold position very well and have lots of articulation. My desk is a solid wood top husky bench if that's a factor for its support.

Astyls trill epic posted:why is the husky adjustable workbench so revered? Itr's a freaking hand crank tool bench with a crossbar that costs as much as a proper standing electric adjust desk Affordability/value and the thick rear end solid wood top is what sold me. Granted I don't use the crank that often since I misplaced the bit for my drill in my recent move, but it's a really high quality attractive desk. Think I paid $299 for the 72"

 Closely approaching nirvana. The monitor lamp is a godsend since the giant fuckall ultra wide blocks most of my ceiling light.

Inept posted:doesn't pointing the desk lamp down like that wash out the monitor color and make a glare? I thought it would too, but surprisingly it doesn't have any impact on the display. It comes out just enough and and at the right angle. I also don't generally use the computer completely in the dark with that light, it supplements what doesn't come through from the ceiling light or window.

 Coming close to nirvana for getting a really good live sports betting set up and also serves to split down the middle during the work week. Thinking next steps are to get another husky desk to form an L on my right and probably put a tv on the wall above the UW. Needs a little wire management too. I have a problem.

I do think I'm going to get an actual TV On the wall above the UW to pipe Comcast in, but that's still in the works.

Nolgthorn posted:There's quite a bit of empty wall space you could probably wire up a few screens and that would allow you to watch multiple games at the same time. Then you need a switch board. I think you will find in my OP that i mention that empty space would be ideal for an actual tv.

Wasabi the J posted:I'm literally quitting a job where you can watch 24/7 MLB and NFL network and literally every horse race in America and they're desperate for people like you to work there forever. Traders at sportsbooks get paid pretty poorly. Doing this on my own has been more than worth while so have just been finding ways of adapting my "battlestation" (god I hate that Reddit term for this) to work well for my day job and this activity. Of course on weekends it can take everything over. Most of the time I'm actually not watching games but the various odds screens, which the portrait monitors work really really well for.

Hughmoris posted:As someone not too familiar with sports betting, may I ask what your betting "flow" is with that set up? I wish, but then I'd have to go around calling people buttheads all the time and that would get old. It would be telling to share exactly what we do, but the odds act like markets all over. What DraftKings thinks an outcome should pay, versus what FanDuel, etc. There are inefficiencies in these markets that you can exploit when one book is "off" from what it should be. You bet the off side enough (provided it's paying enough for the trouble, expected value...) then over the long run the math plays out and you make money. So the flow is to watch the various markets and see where these inefficiencies are at and jump on the good side of the bet. My partner and I have been at this for a couple years and our ROI on roughly 30,000 bets is around 18-19%. We've recently found ways to find "fatter" inefficiencies in the in-game markets that we are averaging about 25-35%. It's been a wild adventure that keeps growing and should have busted by now, but hasn't. E: most of the time I have no clue about the teams or players, it's just numbers. Never bet with an opinion on the outcome.

Wowza, I am not sure it is realistic to compare my set up to that insanity. I have 3 monitors and 3 monitor arms. That's all. No crazy raspberry pi's jerry rigged to the bank of devices that are not intended to be used for that purpose.

For monitor mount chat, if you have multiple monitors I highly recommend going with multiple single mounts. Positioning these dual/triple arrays always seems like a compromise and you can never dial them in just right. Just food for thought.

RacistsSuck posted:I usually agree but I've been really happy with the very adjustable triple mount I have at home (though I'm only using it for two monitors right now). Currently have 2 27" on it but it was good for side by side with a third for a while: What's the big grey box under the TV? Also, how is actually using such a large TV without a curve? I feel like I'd be moving/craning my head WAYY too much.

On the other side of it, I used a trackball (both versions posted above) for well over a decade and developed a strain over time that was resolved by switching back to a regular mouse. Trackballs can be horrible for tennis elbow/early onset arthritis But gods I miss my trackball
