Post your battle stations!

I didn’t even notice that one… was trying to figure out who the kid in the poster behind the monitor was. :grimacing:

All good, I just feel obligated to suggest cleaning whenever someone posts something like that.

Mine isn’t very clean either though.

EDIT: I just realized how bad the cable management under my desk is. I’m going to have to deal with that today.

LOL this is my favourite bit though. lg 42" 1080p tv on the roof with an android box to power it…

Yes it meant getting a socket in the loft with a spur switch behind the tv to turn on the sockets.
Yea I had to re engineer a wall mount bracket and cross brace the roof beams.
Yeah it was totally worth it

I have wanted that for ages but am terrified of it killing me. As such I would love a projector to do this.

Check the mount once a month? Also, buy a really good mount.

normal large screen wall mount fitted upside down to the tv so bottom swings instead of the top. as a result you have to beef up the bracket with a few spots of weld here and there and weld on captive nuts where the lock screws go and run bolts.
3x2 timber run opposing to the roof beams inside the loft to spread the weight and mount the wall part of the bracket through it all with threaded rod cut to length.

Electrical done by a contractor to my specification

To be fair I can do pull ups on the frame and have done. the tv actually weighs about as much as my cat

A man after my own heart. I’ve wanted to do this, but it’s just too risky for me. Maybe one of those ultra-thin tvs. The wallpaper meme ones that Linus has been shilling?

Got a new desk so its now as clean as it will ever be. Still need to figure out cable management though.

Not bad. I kinda wish I could put my case on my desk, but I overestimated the desk size when ordering.

Too close to home, buddy…

Never fucking mind this is going to my main desk this is TOO GOOD BRUH

Edit: Right so I’m too tired to make the changes right now, but I recently got an Apple Cinema Display (A1267, 1920X1200) and OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IS IT GUD. I had to open it up and reseat the cables but ITS SO GUD OMG. I’m debating having it as the screen on my linux machine or putting it with my mac pro that it doesn’t match :stuck_out_tongue:
