Let me be clear - AI is not welcomed here.

Recently built a pc and figured I should update my setup as well! Added a xeneon edge display to the setup and some lighting (between the PC and the desk, I never want to install another LED strip again).

Proud of how much functionality I was able to integrate in the desk! Some fun things about the setup:

- Fully synced PC+desk RGB that reacts to screen or audio
- Hidden always on Bluetooth speaker underneath the desk
- Thunderbolt 5 Hub for one wire connection to my MacBook (hidden on the side) and monitor
- KVM switch to change peripherals between my play and work devices
- Dedicated WiFi router for PCVR streaming
- Mini Stream deck next to desk height controls
- Hidden switch 2 behind the monitor

And so many hours wrangling cables and figuring out the best way to config everything 😤 I’m done for now!

After converting our attic into a new bedroom for my son and a compact office for myself, this is the tech I’m using every day for work, gaming, and my hobbies.

Desk Setup
AOC AGON Pro AG324UX
Xiaomi Pad 7
FIFINE TAM8 microphone & boom arm
Razer Viper V3 Pro
NuPhy Air75 V2
PC
Case: Lian Li A3 Wood (mounted under the desk)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
Motherboard: MSI B850M Gaming Plus WiFi
3D Printing
Bambu Lab P1S

A compact space, but it has everything I need for working from home during the day and gaming, 3D printing, and other creative projects in the evenings.

Since my last post, I've added the KVM switch, Yamaha speakers, a wider under-desk tray, and 8bitdo controller. I'm finally getting into ESO now that it's Steam Deck Verified. The Steam Deck handles all my gaming. The M2 Mac Mini is a Jellyfin server (media is on a NAS - not pictured) and occasional video editing workstation. The 2010 Macbook is now a linux laptop and is basically just a writer deck. The Dell underneath it is my work laptop.

💜 My Gaming / Productivity Setup (2026)
After several upgrades, I finally reached a setup that I’m really happy with, both in terms of performance and aesthetics. It’s not quite finished yet, but it’s getting close.

I've been thinking of replacing the hex lights I have on the wall because they come off as a bit tacky to me. Is this opinion shared or should I keep them? If I was to remove them, what could I add to the wall so it doesn't look empty (or add while keeping the hex lights)? Also wondering if there's any other changes I could make, mostly for the area above my top shelf which looks a bit bare. Any feedback is welcome

I do EVERYTHING at my desk!

I game, build Gundam, and craft at this one desk it has been my safe space for better part of a decade! My PC has been my rock since 2018 it's not much and I know the pops are gross to a lot of people but they are mine and I love it!

Just finished setting up everything, what can I add into the mix, what would you change

I’m new to this Reddit group and even Reddit! Here is my setup I have built myself I hope you all like it!

Update

Main PC:

Arch Linux + KDE Plasma (Wayland)

Dual Xeon E5-2689 — 16 cores / 32 threads

128GB RAM

Intel Arc B580 (upgraded from GTX 1070)

Removed secondary GPU due to issues

Displays:

32" 1080p centre monitor

24" monitor

3x 22" monitors(one of is used with windows laptop)

Also running:

Ryzen 3700U laptop with 16GB RAM

Galaxy Tab A 2018 tablet

Using Deskflow to share keyboard/mouse between my Linux desktop and Windows laptop. The tablet is mainly used for monitoring, YouTube, and extra screen space.

The only Windows apps I still use are Creality Slicer and FrostWire since they don't work properly on Arch. Everything else I need is done on Linux.

I also use USB/IP and Syncthing across both systems for sharing devices and keeping everything synced.

Still trying to figure out a proper way to use the tablet as a secondary display with keyboard/mouse input.

I just posted the PC before but heres the whole setup -

PC

• Case: Lian‑Li A4‑H2O (silver) — I took a Dremel to the side panel and cut a porthole so the ASUS Ryujin III LCD pokes through. It's running a firing neuron.
• CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D
• Cooler: ASUS ROG Ryujin III 240 (white)
• GPU: ASUS ProArt RTX 4080 SUPER
• Mobo: MSI MPG B650I EDGE WIFI
• RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5‑6000
• SSD: Samsung 990 Pro 2TB
• PSU: Seasonic Focus SGX 750W (SFX)
• Lighting: SignalRGB, blue and set to pulse with the music

Display

• Samsung S90C 65" QD‑OLED

Audio

• Yaqin MC‑13S tube amp with Mullard tubes
• Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100 (USB from the PC)
• Tannoy Eclipse III speakers
• RSL Speedwoofer 10S MKII sub
• Tidal for music

Other

• Xbox controller + Artek keyboard with a touchpad so you can run it from a comfy couch
• Great for turn based battles- I also ruled Elden Ring from this couch
• ... and a signed Trombone Shorty poster from Jazzfest.

I don’t think my setup can even be called a battle station.
I’m honestly lost on what to do with it, so I come you the people of Reddit for help.

got me a new laptop.

2 years in the making, it all started with some Govee lights behind my TV and has morphed into this. My next project is building a SteamOS PC with spare parts I have and changing out my 2nd PCs cases for the Phanteks EX series when they release, I am absolutely in love with the design. Sometimes I think I enjoy the building and planning as much as I do playing.

I kind of also hate my speaker placement but im thinking of mounting them to wall instead. That white wall above is a projector screen

i think i seriously got some kind of addiction..

anyway its not fully finished, but i can't do any of the upgrades i planned for now, i wanna replace the monitor with a 17-19 inch black CRT, i wanna change out the wrist rest and maybe the keyboard and i gotta do something else but i don't know what it is yet, so maybe someone got some ideas for me!
