My Small Home Office

[Hrishi]

Been not that active over forums since lockdown so didn't really get a chance to post this before.
As this small enthusiast dream of having a small home office started since I ventured into the alleys of Digit Forums few years back - so I thought it would be justice to drop some photos after achieving this dream

Here is what it looked like few years back, something to revive the ghetto layout memories

Even older from the good ol' days of battlefield 3/4.

My man living the dream of many.

Anyways, the last pic of initial set seems older, not consistent with the rest

 

[Desmond]

Wow. That's a godlike setup. GG my man!

I should probably get a setup of my own but I'm just too lazy to set everything up.

Yeah it's a reference pic from 2014/2015 back when I started playing BF4 after grinding lots of BF3 on my laptop with i7/740m. I didn't have a monitor back then so I built the rig with Core i5-4400 + GTX960 and hooked it to a 720P 28" HDTV LOL.
This was my first gaming PC and my second assembled rig!

Wow. That's a godlike setup. GG my man!

Yeah, a setup like this will definitely test your cable and mess management game. To run this all, I have like 6x Extension Boards with almost three dozen power sockets. There are like over 6-7 dozen cables involved, perhaps more.
The funny part is that the room requires constant Air Conditioning if you were to stay in it during summers and turn on all these equipment. Peak power consumption is over 1600w from the wall!
PS, drop the laziness and build one before you get married - later you might not get the chance

I was talking about the last pic in Some Photos of the Home Office: where the last pic has a triple monitor under the TV whereas rest all pics say otherwise.

Better build now than procrastinating it. Now, i5 12400 + 3060Ti is priced well, or RX6600 for 1080p. The challenge of the build itself is a good experience as well.

I was waiting to see when 7000 series Ryzen CPUs come out before upgrading my current CPU, motherboard and RAM. Multiple PCs is kinda overkill for me but a multi monitor setup would be helpful.

I'll also need a new table.

Oh that one. Yeah, that is just the same setup almost but kept in a different position. I just shifted them to the other side of the room because increasing the height of the monitor ended up blocking the TV.

Got it. Multiple PCs are understandably an overkill for me as well.

I need a new place to live before I can buy a new bigger table
Currently have my cabinet on the floor on a small stand that I got built locally. Would like to keep it on a desk along with 2 monitors.

Multiple PCs seriously don't make that much sense these days because you can have tons of RAM on a single PC with plenty of cores so you can to plenty of virtualization if you want. Plus there's cloud as well so you can afford machines hosted remotely at lower costs if it's for only little use.
There's a lot of hassle around syncing data, maintenance, context switching that will push you off from using more than one machine. Multi-Monitor is definitely way to go.

Even I need a bigger table. My current table barely holds my CPU, monitor and work laptop. I think I might need to have one made since currently available computer tables I've seen don't seem good enough for my needs.

Its way too messy, hence never posted pics. Maybe sometime in future.

Someday.. I am gonna have a show off thread of my own. Planning to setup a home theater/gaming room.
Very soon.

GG setup hrishi.

Cheers to that! Just a tip, it gets real dusty in NCR. Keep it in a closed room

 

[quicky008]

absolutely stunning setup! Are you a developer by profession?

Looks like you have retained your srs d9 from your first build-i too have this speaker set that i purchased sometime in 2015.Is yours working well till date?

 

[Desmond]

The above ibb dot co links don't seem to open for me. Anyone else having this problem? I can see the thumbnails alright but can't view the pics full size.

 

[Vyom]

It does open in new tab and with a small thumbnail. And then when I click the thumbnail it opens a very large version of the image and no option to scale, without using browser zoom. What happened to good ol' imgur?

 

[Desmond]

Imgur has become cancer since they focus more on memes than image hosting. You can still use it, but the UI is a bit messed up. I personally prefer postimg these days.

I suspect that ibb dot co is being blocked by ISPs for some reason.
