Whats your desktop setup like in 2021 ?

Mines changed a lot since last year...... actually have a PC in a case rather than in a cardboard box ;)

Where are the other monitors?

Do you have them mounted to the roof?

Or maybe they are ultra thin and the camera isn't picking them up.

Its an ancient comms device, it makes noises and lights up at random.

I'm pretty happy with my setup now. I just added the studio monitors which has made a huge difference. I'm waiting on a DAC to arrive and that'll be it for me until prices on PC parts come down.

Mine is kind of a computer workstation / workbench combo, but works well for me.

They probably hid them just for the photos 😁

Mine can look pristine with almost no cables but within a few days they always find their way back out from their hiding place. Doesn't help I have to have 5 of them poking out for my work laptop because I'm too tight to buy a proper dock to work from home a couple of days a week. I'd post my photo but we are not far off moving to somewhere with a designated workspace so I've really let it go on the tidyness front as what's the point.

Your setup looks great, we are all subject to the curse of the cables. Mine are just cunningly hidden by a combination of camera angle and a cable tray I installed under the desktop.

Out of interest what’s the depth of your desk? , I’m looking at getting a new desk. I went into the office for the first time the monitors seemed miles away compared to home so trying to work out a better desk depth

I need to work on my cable management, and getting rid of the bloody 15 year old stereo as my PC speakers haha, otherwise relatively happy with my setup.

Wifes desk next to mine is a whole other story!!

Mine hasn't changed much in the past few months since leveling up to its final form 😂

I also do Teams meetings from here quite often now which is fun. At that size it's like we are all in the room together.

My setup is a bit more basic, case lights were on just for photo, but it is plenty fast for surfing the net.

Hasn't changed much in the last 12 months. Will eventually upgrade GPU from GTX 1060 6gb to something with a bit more grunt. Just so we can play Wii 2K/4K on TV without being drowned out by GPU fans.

What it looks like underneath. Everything gets fed into the basket unless it goes to the TV just to the right of the desk.

Now just waiting for the phone holder I bought off Kogan. Just got DroidCamX so I can use phone as webcam.

(Edit* added last sentence).
