I'm going to setup a desk station with one vertical monitor on the left, and two stacked horizontal monitors on the right. Monitors are about 7kg so I'm going to need some beefy arms to hold them onto my standing desk.

What monitor arms have you had good / bad experiences with?

I've been looking at the Ergotron items but they are kinda spendy

:::spoiler example setup Not my photo, but this is roughly what i'm thinking of :::

PC Master Race - PCMR: A place where all enthusiasts of PC, PC gaming and PC technology are welcome!

Here is my current setup. My laptop is an incredible gaming device but I'm kind of hung up on the fact that I don't much enjoy gaming at my desk. I much prefer to game in a lounging position where I can put my feet up. Because of this, I'm considering splitting my priorities for gaming and browsing into separate devices.

I'm thinking that a mini pc might be a good option for my desk setup. I would use it mostly for browsing, some light server needs, and (possibly?) some light modeling/design work using freecad (for 3d printing shenanigans). I've been eyeballing the minisforum um790 pro or something similar.

My gaming needs would likely be outsourced to a handheld pc. I'm pretty set on getting a onexfly and loading it up with bazzite. I know they're expensive, but the form factor and hardware capability really has me sold on this one. I know it would handle everything I wanted to play on it, and more. I've even been wondering if it would be a good daily driver with a dock or something and just omit the mini pc idea altogether.

TLDR: Is it crazy to put a big TV on the floor for a couch battle station so that my eyes at couch height are at the top of the TV on the floor?

Context: I got a good price (buddy doing a clearance sale) on a 100" (254cm) hisense tv, so I want to setup a couch battle station.

I've always been near sighted, and I want to use this as a opportunity to move my display farther away from me. So put the 4k TV on the ground on the other side of the room, sit on the couch with a wireless keyboard / mouse and be productive.

When I'm sitting on the couch my eyes are about 120cm (~50in) from the ground, and putting the TV on the ground puts the top of the screen at 131cm (88in).

Anyone else doing a on-the-ground tv setup?

What quality of life add-ons can you suggest?

it's a portable monitor and can't be mount on generic stand

To the left is the soldering station.

Nearly all my furniture I got for free off the street on garbage day or from family. The computer parts however

I've got a lot of devices that need to plug into an outlet at my desk. Right now, I have 2 surge protectors completely full.

I wanted to get a smart surge protector to auto turn off/on devices I don't want left on all the time (ex: speakers, monitor, DAC/AMP, printer). But the smart surge protectors have fewer outlets than my current one.

My question is, how do you manage your outlets when you have a lot of devices that need to be plugged in? I don't want to have 3 surge protectors plugged into the wall. I'm already drawing a lot of power in my home office with my mini fridge also plugged in (on the opposite side of the room).

I've also heard of something called UPS. Would that be better than plugging it into a surge protector?

For those curios, the devices I have are:

• Two monitors
• Speakers
• DAC/AMP
• Router
• Modem
• Printer
• Ethernet Switch
• PiHole
• Solar panel monitor
• NAS
• Landline phone
• Backup external hard drive

I finally upgraded my desk and I want to have appropriately clean cable management. I would need probably 4 of the option shown here, and that's unnecessarily expensive, so I'm hoping yall have some ideas.

Also, ideally they wouldn't be out in the open, since I've got a nibbly cat.
