    Idk what part to explain but I can break down my setup:

    Computers

    Desktop:

    CPU: Ryzen 3700x

    GPU: RTX 3070Ti

    RAM: 24GB DDR5? I cant quite remember

    OS: Linux Mint/Windows 11/Hackintosh (broken) tri-boot. Mint because I’m too lazy these days for Arch

    CASE: Hollowed out modded Mac G5 Chassis

    Main day-to-day Computer

    MODEL: 14” MacBook Pro M3 Pro 18GB RAM

    Work Laptop (mounted under desk for storage, swapped out with personal laptop during the week)

    MODEL: 16” MacBook Pro M1 Pro

    That screen in the corner of the second photo

    MODEL: Mac Mini 2014

    PURPOSE: Proxmox Backup Server for my servers in the basement

    There's also an HDMI over CAT5e/6 receiver and an HDMI switch connected to one of my servers in the basement but it's not really used right now. Trying to figure out how to setup a KVM switch that can switch between my basement servers but haven't put too much time into it yet

    Displays:

    Main MODEL: Asus 4K 160hz

    Secondary MODEL: Cheap Amazon 4K 60hz

    I switch between the laptops and the desktop with a DisplayPort KVM switch. The laptops get plugged into a powered USB C/Thunderbolt dock that one display is connected to (for some reason my M3 pro doesn’t like my second monitor though so it’s always just black)

    Random Stuff:

    • Greg Sestero signed Big Shark by Tommy Wiseau poster
    • 2012 Macbook Pro Retina (got me through school along with a Thinkpad I sold o7)
    • Bong collection from back when I smoked
    • Model trains
    • Cool beer cans
    • Stupid amount of old laptops and computers piled up in various locations
    • IBM 5151 Display (the corresponding computer is in my closet)

    I also have a cheap 3D printer

    Let me know if you have any questions!

    Alright, firstly that's an excellent spec/hardware list. Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed reading through it.

    Second, I should have been more specific. I really meant to ask why you arranged things the way you did. In my head, I'm being critical of the setup, but I thought you probably had reasons for why you arranged it the way you did and I didn't want to be negative 😅

    I modelled the room and all the furniture in all the possible layouts I could think of using SweetHome3D and this was just the layout I found comfiest 😄. I especially wanted the sort of floating desk thing because I mess with things a lot so it just makes it much easier than when it’s up against a wall. It also gives me more space to work with things since I can walk around the other side of the desk. The TV is in a weird state right now admittedly. I plan to put it on a swivel mount but I really use it so little that I haven’t bothered buying a mount yet
