Totally! There are a ton of used workstations on eBay for cheap too. I got a Lenovo M715q with a Ryzen 5 APU for under $100USD. I can’t afford not to have a garage desktop at that price.

http://abx.digitalfeed.net/ must be propaganda by Big Audio to sell more hifi equipment because I can’t tell a damn difference between lossy and lossless. I’m ashamed.

Not at all! Worst case, just move it a little farther from you. Mine is mounted on the wall that my desk sits up against. With my slide out keyboard tray, I’m around 3.5’ from it.

I was looking for a big UW, and likely would have gone with a slight curve, but went with a 42” 4k 16:9 (flat) instead. Basically as wide as most UWs I was looking at, but with extra space top and bottom. Gaming on it can be kind of a cinematic experience. Just another thought for you!
