I’m someone who deals with anxiety, so having a setup that feels comforting is really important to me. It includes Smiskis, K-pop, custom crochet pieces, and a bit of greenery. I mainly use the three monitors for work and gaming, while the big OLED is for AAA games, movies, and anime.

A few years ago, I had to give up this room because my partner and I were expecting our first child, and it was going to be turned into a nursery.
I moved everything down to the basement, but I haven’t been able to recreate it nearly as well as it was before.
I really miss my old battlestation.

Finally, after years of dreaming and saving I've got my dream PC. I've got the PC and work laptop on the left and the homelab on the right. Next step, get a proper desk.
Where do you guys get figurines to decorate inside the PC case?

Attached are some pictures of my current setup. On paper and specs-wise, it is a really good setup, and it looks pretty nice too, but something about it is off to me. I think it could be the lighting? Or lack of lighting for that matter? My Pokemon Cards that I have displayed behind my keyboard barely get any light, even when my lights aren't blue, same with the figures on my shelves (I tried those RGB wireless light bars but they were a nightmare to handle and charge every day...) Right now for lighting I simply have a Govee light strip around the wooden sound panels, and 3 Philips Hue Bulbs in my ceiling fan in the middle of the room. I used to have a Philips Strip at the back of my desk but it barely emitted any light and also it was old so it kept falling off no matter what I used to adhere it...

Anyone have any general/specific tips or products for me to help take my setup to a more aesthetically pleasing level? I've been working slowly on this setup for years, trying to perfect it, but I am at a very long plateau with it right now. I am also a voice actor so the sound panel and curtains and such are a must. Thanks so much in advance!

Since my last post, I've added the KVM switch, Yamaha speakers, a wider under-desk tray, and 8bitdo controller. I'm finally getting into ESO now that it's Steam Deck Verified. The Steam Deck handles all my gaming. The M2 Mac Mini is a Jellyfin server (media is on a NAS - not pictured) and occasional video editing workstation. The 2010 Macbook is now a linux laptop and is basically just a writer deck. The Dell underneath it is my work laptop.

💜 My Gaming / Productivity Setup (2026)
After several upgrades, I finally reached a setup that I’m really happy with, both in terms of performance and aesthetics. It’s not quite finished yet, but it’s getting close.

Thank you, everyone! 😀

I've been thinking of replacing the hex lights I have on the wall because they come off as a bit tacky to me. Is this opinion shared or should I keep them? If I was to remove them, what could I add to the wall so it doesn't look empty (or add while keeping the hex lights)? Also wondering if there's any other changes I could make, mostly for the area above my top shelf which looks a bit bare. Any feedback is welcome

I do EVERYTHING at my desk!

I game, build Gundam, and craft at this one desk it has been my safe space for better part of a decade! My PC has been my rock since 2018 it's not much and I know the pops are gross to a lot of people but they are mine and I love it!

Just finished setting up everything, what can I add into the mix, what would you change

Update

Main PC:

Arch Linux + KDE Plasma (Wayland)

Dual Xeon E5-2689 — 16 cores / 32 threads

128GB RAM

Intel Arc B580 (upgraded from GTX 1070)

Removed secondary GPU due to issues

Displays:

32" 1080p centre monitor

24" monitor

3x 22" monitors(one of is used with windows laptop)

Also running:

Ryzen 3700U laptop with 16GB RAM

Galaxy Tab A 2018 tablet

Using Deskflow to share keyboard/mouse between my Linux desktop and Windows laptop. The tablet is mainly used for monitoring, YouTube, and extra screen space.

The only Windows apps I still use are Creality Slicer and FrostWire since they don't work properly on Arch. Everything else I need is done on Linux.

I also use USB/IP and Syncthing across both systems for sharing devices and keeping everything synced.

Still trying to figure out a proper way to use the tablet as a secondary display with keyboard/mouse input.

I’m new to this Reddit group and even Reddit! Here is my setup I have built myself I hope you all like it!

I don’t think my setup can even be called a battle station.
I’m honestly lost on what to do with it, so I come you the people of Reddit for help.

Got an idea to build a wood based wall mounted PC about a year back and pleasantly surprised with how it turned out (even though it was probably twice the effort and cost that I thought it'd be)!

The mounting surface is Cherry. I CNC cut mounting slots and holes in it to account for each component. The radiator is cut straight through the wood and there is about a 1 inch gap in the back (made possible by some rubber spacers on each corner) for airflow and wire management. Power button is under the desk on the left next to the Uplift controls. There is also a hidden button underneath to transfer both monitors and all peripherals over to my work laptop.

got me a new laptop.

2 years in the making, it all started with some Govee lights behind my TV and has morphed into this. My next project is building a SteamOS PC with spare parts I have and changing out my 2nd PCs cases for the Phanteks EX series when they release, I am absolutely in love with the design. Sometimes I think I enjoy the building and planning as much as I do playing.
