Post your battle stations!

Here’s my current setup. Pandemic found me living with my folks and down scaling. Using my time to transition from the hospitality industry to cyber security. Got a gaming PC and a workstation test bench for my ethical hacking VM’s and other learning.

Work

That is an epic man cave!

I was full screening games. and then i decided to try the lower half. it is basically x2 super ultra wides stacked. so i have multiple programs going.


To do:

  • fix cables
  • put art on wall
  • clean wrist rest

My HTPC plans are put on ice for now so I had to get the RTX2070 out of project storage, order some more fittings and get the idle hashrate up to 100MH/s since crypto rates are ridiculous again.

Now looking for more uses for a mismatched dual GPU config…

Changed keyboard to a black one with red light, instead of the silver/white model I usualy use (i have 2x same keyboard, just different color/light)

So made a new wallpaper to match and set the light to red all around

Finally got it cleaned up and picture worthy :slight_smile:
Computers on the floor from left to right:
Unraid cold backup server - W10 Gaming rig - Nas - Pfsense router.

The PC on the right side of the desk is my main linux daily.

The Lenovo laptop have been my torrent machine (for linux ISO’s of course), but I have moved that to a VM on my main pc now.
In the corner behind the desk is my patented ups silencer made from Ikea furniture.

On the left I have a Subject Delta and little sister figure (from Bioshock 2).
On the right on top of my main pc, is some of the main characters from South Park. My little sister made them herself and gifted me them last Christmas :slight_smile:

On my mouse pad I have a few knick knacs, a couple of replica coins from Bioshock Infinite, a Slipknot limited edition Zippo lighter I got in a merch bag from their last concert in DK I attended, a folding knife, and then in the middle is the cpu from my very first pc. An Intel Celeron D 336. That’s where it all started :slight_smile:

And the center piece and foundation of my setup, the desk itself.
It is 2,5 meters wide and 0,9 meters deep. The tabletop is special ordered from Ikea’s kitchen department, and is a walnut laminate.
The frame I had special made from a blacksmith.
And I gotta say, I love this desk :heart:

You may ask why I have such a huge desk, and the answer is that when I shared an apartment with some friends, I did a lot more at this desk than I do now, so it made sense back then.
Not so much now, but I’m never gonna part with it.

That’s a savage setup! I can’t wait to get some more space and build a proper server rack myself.

In a few months I’m getting even more space. I’ll be able to spread it out a bit more :slight_smile:

But I’m pretty sure @Argone still have more than me :slight_smile:

I am down to two computers + two nases. I have 3 monitors hooked up to my primary and my 65inch theater tv hooked up to my htpc. Repurposed from a minecraft server. I gave up on minecraft when the psu died. I will give you props on how clean your battlestation looks.

Damn, you’ve scaled back :slight_smile:

The htpc hooked up to my TV, and an retro gaming pc running xp.

And thank you :slight_smile:
It’s not easy to keep cleaned up :slight_smile:

Nice setup. Very clean. I have 4 PC’s in the office now waiting on the 6th (because I have one in the Livingroom too) and nowhere near as clean. Just a 55in connected to the gaming rig at the moment and the ultrawide monitor for two pcs, the other two connect to a 24in monitor. Love the Bioshock figure.
