Mega Desk

Welcome to my productivity workstation

Let's break it down.

The Desktop

I built my PC in 2019 after my friend described it as "lego for adults". I was still scared to click-in some of the components that needed force, but ultimately every thing went smoothly. The main components are:

For more details, check out the PC Part Picker page. It was fun to try to meet a budget and to learn more about how all these circuit components fit together. It felt like a "grown-up" version of the Minecraft circuits I made. Not all of the links here are what I used, but instead they are the ones I could find now.

The Monitors

The triple monitors are all the Dell U2417H, which are mounted on a VIVO Triple Monitor Desk Mount, with a Logitech HD Pro Webcam fixed to the top. Since the Dell monitors support a command line interface, I was able to create automation software to manage the triple monitor setup.

The Bottom

Underneath the desk, you will find a pair of Sony WH-1000XM3 Noise Cancelling Headphones resting on a COZOO Under Desk Headset Holder Mount. The Kinesis Freestyle2 Split Keyboard (20") with the Kinesis Freestyle Vip3 attachment sits on a HUANUO Keyboard Under Desk Tray with a Microsoft Surface Dial and Corsair Elgato Stream Deck placed between the two halves. To see how I integrated python into my stream deck, check out my project Pybiosis! Finally there is an Aelfox Wrist Rest that leads into a Microsoft Sculpt Mouse. The whole table top rests on a pair of motorized sit/standing desk legs from AnthroDesk.

*Exhales* Yep and that's my battlestation. I've crammed so many usb devices and the cables are overflowing like crazy, but I do my best to cable manage, and I'm amazed that (most of the time) things work seamlessly. Hopefully this inspired some ideas in you!
