you should be able to identify the case
all on a desk I made
Plugged into onboard sound?
Unfortunately no, the speakers I use have a volume dial and have a headphone out port so I just plug it into that and can control the volume with the dial
hardly an amplifier but currently Iām too cheap
Why you no stain?
its presanded maple plywood, its not only a desk but sometimes I beat on it disassembling things
actual mindset: I dont care
You donāt have to go snobbish audiophile level.
Something like an SMSL SD793 II, M3 or even a Fiio E10K gets you started under $100. Those have a volume knob for the headphones but speakers need their own volume control (either they have it built in or with another cheap amp).
The M3 does RCA out, 1/4" out and micro-USB, coax and optical in. No extra drivers needed and if used via USB then you donāt need to plug it into an outlet (but āonlyā does 96k Hz via USB).
Z-Reviews on YT spans both high-end and budget stuff.
edit: Oh, but if youāre using a mic then this could be more interesting to you (at least with 1/8" plug).

yeah I know about the arc but it doesnt have XLR (at2020 is xlr version)
And mic into mixer into Arc?
I suppose
But $250 is a bit steep just to try it out and see if it works.
Or just a better audio interface? No idea about those, though.
what keyboard is that? It matches that Mionix perfectly!
Logitech G413. I had a KUL ES-87 keyboard for a while, but missed the Romer G switches from the G910 keyboard that I sold a while back cause it was too large.
Looks really great but its a shame its not RGB, I got a light setting that on a key press the key goes from blue to white then fades to turquoise and back to blue. If I could have done that on that keyboard I would buy it in a heartbeat!
There is always the G810. A little more money but full rgb and media controls.
I remember I was considering that or my Corsair Strafe, wasnāt too sure about the new Romer switches at the time but now I wish I could have tried them haha.
Iām pretty dissapointed that the G810 didnāt carry over the Brushed aluminum look from the 413. If it had that I think I would have gone with the G810 instead of my Strafe!
I prefer the brushed aluminum too. But since the red backlight matched I didnāt feel like paying more for something I wouldnāt use. I do miss my PBT keycaps. I wish Logitech would release a non backlit tenkeyless Romer-G with PBT keycaps and a thick metal backplate.

I use a crappy plastic folding table as a desk and Iām looking to replace it. Space co monitor arms from ebay hold up two of my three monitors and Iām 6ā6" so being able to have my monitors up high is awesome. Windows is installed on the 500GB SSD for games and Linux is installed on the 250GB SSD, right now Iām running Fedora with i3wm.
Sorry about the potato camera
