I haven't included the chair, it was free and really doesn't look great, it'll likely be what I replace next.

You tried.

Really nice setup, and I wish mine looked like yours. But you're missing a coaster for your water bottle

Yeah, the streamdeck could do with a clean...

It's actually 3 Amazon Basics Monitor VESA mounts. Took me HOURS to get the monitors to even remotely line up!

All these computer showcases make me feel immensely untidy and disorganised!

A fair amount of people have seen my setup and it’s an absolute tip, all the monitors are different and there’s no RGB (which seems to be a must have in this sub forum)!!

I love the cleanliness of the desk in your post but I’m sure that’ll be short lived

Oh absolutely, no doubt about it

Same, where are all the plates and glasses

Looks really nice as someone who has been studying r/battlestations the last few months, did you screw the spacers to the drawers or to the worktop? 

Also did you modify the storage drawer to fit your pc in for airflow or leave it stock?

The spacers are screwed to the drawers. Because I wanted to ensure the desk was sturdy, it's also held up by a baton along the back wall with notches for cables, this way I can easily move the desk in and out to add or remove any extra cables.

Both of the Alex units have been modified. The top drawer of the left unit (drawers) has a Rothult smart lock (from IKEA) that unlocks with an RFID access card or my phone. The unit on the right is where my PC lives. To ensure maximum airflow I didn't put the back panel onto the unit and so far I've had no thermal issues to speak of.

Looks great! 

Very nice setup

Very nice setup!
