Hint: Cables
Ek trek niemand se draad nie
Hagan het sy eie getrek. Nogal netjies ook.
Dink nie hy het geweet hoe om dit te doen tot gister nie. Moes hom eers se
Kom doen myne?
Sjoe ek weet nie. Het jy draad om te trek?
Eks bitjie ver, dalk sal @FarligOpptreden kan help?
Jy gaan def nie my draad kom trek nie!
For ages I’ve been using my Dad’s old wooden desk as my work and play station. I got frustrated by the lack of space on the desk, needing to connect and disconnect peripherals whenever I needed them, and by having my case and my printer on the floor on either side of it.
On a whim this last weekend, I stopped in at my local Mica and got them to cut me a large piece of white shelving board. Using the original desk as a pedestal and some duct tape for the edging, I now have a brand new, wide and deep space for my setup. And room to spare. All the peripherals are now permanently connected and easily moved into position when I need them (other than the wheel, but that just gets moved into place and connected.) Cables are (mostly) in electricians spiral sleeves, and the tidiest they’ve ever been. And @flex will be pleased to see the case off the floor eventually. (And yes @Wyvern, I did clean it out completely before reconnecting everything ) I even eventually got to mount the LED light strip I’ve had in the back of a cupboard for about 2 years. All in, cost me under R500 and a day and a half of crawling around under the desk to sort the cabling out. I’m well chuffed.
The only thing I would add there would be a headphone stand. Looks neat, and headphones last much longer.
Mismatched screen sizes drive me to drink
Absolutely. It’s on my wishlist of things to get with eBucks and Vitality rewards. I have a powered USB hub arriving today and a XL mousepad on order from Loot. Headphone stand is next on the list.
Ditto. Zoom in on the bottom left-hand corner of the second picture.
One day I’ll get a matching pair. Or I’m going to go ultrawide.
It might be just me but I don’t like the back of my screen facing a window.
Can’t exactly have the front of the screen facing the window either; everyone will see your porn
- the glare during the day with the front of the screen facing the window is terrible.
I am scared to send a pic of my space through… I have trouble turning criticisms into positive feedback
Just do it!
This is a safe space, we don’t judge here.
We do sometimes point out things that would drive us insane, like having different sized screens at different heights
Or cases on floors
dusty insides
weird ass colours
