Cable management and more rubber ducks.

And a better desk

One rubber duck is sufficient for debugging.

Remove a thing

Actual speaker stands would help clean this up quite a bit I think. As others have said too though, better organization for the clutter and better cable management for the internet points. Also, put more of the guitar into the frame next time. Lol

Also, maybe some (subtle) lighting? NOT rgb. We're all sick of RGB everything...

Cable ties?

Cable management. Desk drawer, box or drawer unit for clutter.

I would not be able the handle that wire between the speakers going right in front of the keyboard. I'm impressed you are able to get anything done in such a cluttered environment. I have about the same amount of shit on my desk, but it's way more cable managed. Not like to an insane degree, but with as few visible cables as possible.

That wire is really bothering me

There's a gap over the middle and right monitor you could plug up with a few more screens. Try to make sure one is a CRT monitor for maximum effect.

Otherwise I see no problems at all.

Change your speakers, get a better table and organize your cables. You dont need better hardware or more screens imo.

It's already got 4 ports, so a 5th monitor would need something like an Intel Arc for 4 more without breaking the bank.

Just add those last few pieces and then you're done!

Though by then you could probably run more monitors...

You need a projector in back aiming at the ceiling.

Why 3 toolbars?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

How have you mounted your monitors?
