Four years later: I might switch out the entertainment stand with an Ikea Kallax 2x4 on it's side, since the dogs just get nose prints on the glass and it's not that open.

danielpholt Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 https://imgur.com/a/6X9qp7z This sorry corner of my living room is now where my PC is situated. Daughter has taken our 'entertainment room' because apparently she needs her own room, smells fishy to me but whatever. The PC was in our bedroom for the last few months but I managed to get it moved by arguing that my gaming time is how i best unwind, and I enjoy that most on my PC, but also didn't want to spend my evenings when Baby goes to bed in the bedroom away from my partner. It worked. It's not ideal, but as of right now....it's alright. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 It fits in well there. Looks like a good compromise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 Took most of the day, and there's still some work/cleanup to do, but now I've moved my game/bed room into a different spot. This is where my old consoles used to be, now they're were my bedroom used to be. This place is a bit smaller, but overall it's an improvement, particularly in terms of layout and how close power outlets are. The other room, I'd like to turn it into a movie room if/when things get better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 Some changes: I've wallmounted my TV and got a new desk, that's taller than expected, so now I also need a new chair, or a lot of cushions. Need some cable management, but I'll wait until I have my new PC, so I know exactly how many cables and where they go. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Completely off topic but this thread wasn't very active over the years so going back just a few pages was kind of a blast from the past. So many names I haven't seen in years. You guys remember FDS? Man, that guy was such a fucking dick lol. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) Finally upgraded my setup enough to warrant posting an update! I'm definitely not regretting that second monitor. Such a massive QoL improvement in so many ways. It's also so large that it wouldn't fit under the shelves that used to be on top of my desk, so I had to remove them. Got a Kallax unit from Ikea to make up for the lost storage space and I'm also very pleased with that purchase! Still need to get some proper bookcases soon, though. The two tiny ones I have are still overflowing even after moving all my mangas and art books over to the Kallax... Also, I think I finally need to upgrade to some proper PC speakers. That bookshelf stereo has served me well over the years but they're getting hard to fit into this new configuration. Also, I think the stereo part of the thing might be fucked lol. I was doing some reorganizing and found some of my old CDs and put one in it for the hell of it. The disc tray was somehow covered in dust even though I haven't opened it in years and even after wiping it clean it would only play the first track. When I tried skipping to the second one, it stopped playing and started making some weird noise. I panicked and got the CD out and there was now an inch wide ring of dust on top of it. Now it just won't play at all lol. At the very least the CD player probably needs a deep cleaning...

TheMightyEthan Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 New TV stand is much less crowded, plus it has room for a Series X once I get one, which the old one did not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 Originally I was just going to have the old window removed, thing had a huge crack and was held together by hopes and dreams lol. Then I used that chance to give my room a makeover. Hidden because this wall has some rather NSFW posters lol. Spoiler Left part on the first pic used to be a closet, moved that to a different room and turned that space into a shelf area, I do need to do something about light, half of the room is kinda dark lol. Also something about that empty wall behind my bed, I'm thinking more shelves, or some posters. This room has been through a lot of changes, most of them in the last year or so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 I never posted again after I got my new TV: Sound bar is gone because the new TV has speakers that are better (not as much bass, but much less muddy overall), and it can do 3D audio that works surprisingly well. I still keep it turned off on the PlayStation input because that does real 3D audio, whereas the TV's is just stimulated, but for stuff that doesn't already do it it's way better than straight stereo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Okay, this should be the final update for quite a while: (Not the main attraction, but the sound bar is back because I ultimately decided that while the TV speakers do sound better in a lot of ways they don't have the same oomph. It was a battle scene in The Expanse that made me realize it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 New PC is up and running! And a slight change in my setup, although it's a semi-temporary one. I definitely intend to go back to a dual monitor setup in the near future. I miss it so bad lol You can't see it in the pic but all those RGBs are doing a rainbow spiral thingy in sync that I'm 99% sure improves my framerate somehow. Except for the keyboard because it's a Logitech piece of crap that isn't compatible with iCue! My old PC is still in its old spot behind the rainbow box but it's fairly empty right now. Eventually I'll move it and put the new one in its place and once I feel confident I won't need it as an emergency backup machine I'll probably put my old GTX 960 back in it and turn it into a Linux box. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 And we're back! The new monitor got here a day early. The smaller screen size is definitely noticeable (especially when it's next to my old monitor; the Samsung one seemed so massive comparatively lol), but on the bright side the 1440p image is much crisper on it. On the Samsung one you could kinda tell it was being blown up a little bigger than it should be at that resolution. Not gonna lie, though, now I kinda want to get a second one... Next purchase is gonna have to be a wider desk, though. Having all my fancy RGBs hidden behind the monitor simply won't do. Not crazy about my headset stand being behind the monitor, either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 No tech changes (other than the controller charging docks that I guess I didn't have yet last time), just decorative. Oh wait, looks like in the last picture I didn't have the wall mount installed yet. The one that lets me extend it 42" from the wall and do this: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
