Got an actual carpet now, plus other older stuff. Threw out the secondary display too. Would love to have a shelf above the desk but I can't make any holes in the walls of this rent apartment.

Ok wow, after weeks if not months of slowly putting this together I think it's finally done. Main Desk  There's a lot going on here. This is a pretty seamless integration of two computers: one Macbook Pro touchbar, and one gaming PC. You can switch everything in the setup (sound setup, keyboard, mouse, monitor) to either computer in about 10 seconds. The Macbook is run entirely off of one single Thunderbolt 3 connection, which was kind of interesting to figure out how to pull off, so when I want to take it with me I just disconnect the single cable and head out. Then when I plug it back in, it connects to the DAC, the speakers, the monitor, the KB/mouse AND gets fully powered through the cable. Equipment: LG "5K" ultrawide monitor (which can only be run through Thunderbolt 3 or Displayport 1.4 due to the resolution, luckily the RTX 2080 has DP 1.4 so both computers can connect to it). MBP touchbar as second monitor MX Master 3 mouse Corsair K70 keyboard Schiit Modi 3 DAC and Fosi amp JBL Studio 530 speakers Herman Miller Embody chair Then incidentals like an apple watch charger, wireless charger for phone, etc. The PC is an RTX 2080 gaming system. It connects to a 65 inch LG C9 in another part of the bedroom as well as the main monitor and can interchangeably connect to either set of speakers. LG just added GSync to their OLEDs so it's basically a dedicated PC/console OLED VRR / media setup: Gaming/Media setup (which is connected to the gaming PC via an HDMI cable run around the perimeter of the room)  Equipment: LG 65 inch C9 OLED JBL Studio 580 speakers Denon receiver Switch PS4 Pro 4K Blu rays Nvidia Shield with 13TB 4K blu ray Plex server as well as TV shows. This runs its own Plex server through the entire house, independent of the computers, so they can be off and still serving media to other parts of the home. Norton Shield router (gigabit internet) Lenovo smart clock, mostly for Google Assistant (everything in the room is smart- Philips Hue lighting, and the Shield is connected to Google so I can play Spotify on the main speakers via voice command, etc.) Taima fucked around with this message at 01:04 on Dec 4, 2019 |

Oh that's interesting, I think it fits really well. It's just my master bedroom. The desk is next to the bed, the bed is in the corner, and across from the bed on the other side is the TV. I would be legitimately curious why you don't think it works. I could definitely be missing something. Maybe this will help:

Why the hell is any of that stuff in your master bedroom. Bedrooms are for sleeping and loving and storing clothing and maybe reading. Unless there's some functional reason to have all of those electronics in there (ie, roommates, you still live with your parents, etc) get that poo poo into the living room. People wonder why they have sleep disorders. Also get a proper window covering you schlub. edit: furthermore get some cable management happening.

I think having a second tv in the bedroom is acceptable - there are valid reasons to want to watch tv in bed, including ‘when you’re sick’. Also if it isn’t a one person house there will come a time where not everyone wants to watch the same thing. Having your home office in the bedroom isn’t ideal but if you live in a tiny apartment and there isn’t room for a dedicated home office room or study nook or something I’d rather have that stuff tucked away in the bedroom than encroaching on the living room - the living room is a more formal space where you entertain guests.

Unless there's some functional reason to have all of those electronics in there (ie, roommates, you still live with your parents, etc) get that poo poo into the living room. I sleep well, so it's never been a concern for me. I can definitely see why some people would prefer it like that, though. I think it's pretty common to have a TV in the bedroom, but I'm no expert. I work from home a lot, and our floor plan is a little, um, "interesting"- there just isn't a great spot to have a desk. The house has really good views, so a lot of space in the layout is dedicated to vista views and decks. It's kind of hard to describe. In any case, there is (imo of course) no better place in our floor plan for a desk, especially one this large. The window does have a cover, but it's a small, stupid window that looks directly into our next door neighbors house. We live in a touristed and densely packed area. The houses are super close together due to the astronomical property values... therefore very little privacy overall. So sometimes it's easier to permanently block a window you don't like. I hung a fleece blanket to cover it. I like earth tones. The cable management isn't perfect, point taken. It's not too bad in practice though. The mess of cords is behind the desk in the corner; unless you're at a pretty specific angle you wouldn't see it. Totally get what you're saying though, do you have any suggestions on managing such a giant mess of cords? I have some ties, but they aren't really enough. nem posted:My mom bestowed these fine words with me, "bedrooms are for sleeping and screwing" when I first moved out.

Very similar to mine down to the Embody Aww thanks man! Embody crew forever. Such a good chair. Yeah, so the monitor itself has a USB hub. To that hub I attach the DAC and the keyboard (which is good, because there are only 2 USB ports). So the process of switching computers goes like this: 1) Switch the input on the monitor 2) Switch the USB hub destination (you have to switch between USB C aka thunderbolt, and regular USB downstream, aka the PC) 3) The wireless mouse, a Logitech MX Master 3, has a button on the bottom that you have to click to switch between bluetooth sources. That's about all, it's a little lame but it only takes about 10 seconds. The issue is, with a 5K monitor, you need an OS with good scaling. MacOS scaling is simply far better than Windows, so I use the Mac for my day to day productivity. It looks so much better. For anyone considering a 5K monitor, I strongly recommend they look at their scaling capabilities, as you do NOT want to run a 5K monitor at native. It's insanely small. Then for gaming I switch to the Windows PC, or if I need storage space (for example I am regularly downloading 4K blu rays which can be over 100GB in size). The Mac only has 256GB of space, so I need the PC to accomplish that.

Get a real loving window covering, for seriously. You can buy smaller blackout panels so you don't have a loving blanket hanging on your wall like a stoner freshman. Get a headboard that compliments said window covering. Also that TV is way, way too big for that space and in a position that is bad for viewing, even/especially from a bed. Get a proper nightstand so you don't have a wire rack screwed to the wall and put said nightstand on the non-desk side of the bed. Find a way to isolate the floorstanding speakers from the floor (rubbermaid had really good computer monitor stands for such a purpose, but any thing that decouples them from the floor will benefit your bass response SIGNIFICANTLY.)

I totally appreciate the headboard thing guys. As a little history, I rented this house, with 2 other housemates, for several years. In the last couple of years, I took over the house. At the time, when I got the bed (which was a 4 figure mattress, and good god do I NOT regret it, it's so comfortable) just the cost of the mattress itself was such that I couldn't afford to add something visual like a headboard to the expense. Now things are different. I make double what I did when I bought the bed, so doing these updates is not a money concern, but sometimes I simply forget about the little things. I also have a wonderful partner who has never seemed to care, and likes having SEXUAL INTERCOURSE in the bed, which in turn reduces my desire to change it. Conceptually though, I am pretty into the idea of a headboard setup. No expense has been spared on any of the electronics, so it seems unfair to not extend that to the rest of the room. rickiep00h posted:In that case: Move the bed so the head is centered under the small window. Put the desk where the head of the bed currently is. Flip-flop the TV and the electronics rack. There's no way the desk would fit where the head of the bed currently is. Behind that blackout curtain is a full sliding door to one of the decks. It's the width of that entire curtain, more or less. The desk would have to be multiple feet smaller to accommodate the layout you're suggesting. We'll have to agree to disagree on the size of the TV, it's perfect and I love it dearly. It's also the correct distance to view a 65 inch TV, for the record, but I have no absolutely no interest in convincing you of that. All I can say is that it's non-negotiable. I also disagree that it's in a bad position for viewing from the bed, either we lay in bed and watch it normally, or I have pillows that are made to position at the edge of the bed on the far wall, so we can sit up and watch TV or play games. It's so perfect for viewing the TV that i'm legitimately confused why you think it's not, could you elaborate? Anyways this is an example of the pillows, though not the exact one I have:  Anyways to be clear, in our living room we have a traditional couch-based entertainment area with a 75 inch TV. We watch the vast majority of our television in there. But sometimes it's incredible to get super comfy on the bed and watch a movie on the OLED or play a game. I will certainly think about the window cover for the small window. I thought that entire wall was kind of boring. I have a bunch of art put up around the room (I only show about half of the room in the images) but maybe I should get a cover and figure out another piece of art for that wall. If you'll notice I actually DO have insulation pads on the Studio 530s on my desk. What do you suggest for pads, in terms of the larger speakers? Just the rubbermaid ones? I could use a range of suggestions. Price is not really a concern. The problem is that they're pretty huge speakers. The options I see on Amazon seem to be for smaller speakers, so I could really use help choosing something correct. You know what, maybe I will try to convince you that the 65 inch TV makes sense, since you are technical enough to suggest acoustic isolation pads. Here is a chart from Rtings that explains their ideal viewing distances:  As you can see, my setup is basically 100% ideal for their guidelines. And I agree with those guidelines from experience. It's a great distance, just my opinion though. My parents watch a 40 inch TV they bought in like 2006 from across a giant room. So obviously taste varies on this topic.

So for starters I think you're far more interested in specs than aesthetics and quality of life. To start with the TV: that chart, if I remember right (it's been a while since I've looked at it in context) is for whether or not a TV's pixel density and resolution makes a difference at a given distance, NOT if that size TV is "right" for your room. So yes, you get "benefit" of not being able to see the pixelization, but the TV dominates the room in a way that is out of proportion for the place its in. More on this in a bit. As for where it is located in general, for starters, you're never going to have you eyes properly centered on the screen, so the image from the angle you're at, whether your laying down or sitting up on the bed, will always be distorted because of physics. Ergonomically, beds are just bad for sitting on, ridiculous cushions or no. Sitting in general is bad for the human body, which I would assumed you'd know if you spent the money on an Embody. A bed is not built for butts. Furthermore, with the TV so high, you will always be craning your neck upward, which is extremely bad for your neck and shoulder joints, not to mention all your back muscles. Second, the arrangement: if that desk is wider than 60 inches AND that wall is somehow less, I'll eat my hat, or your camera has some really, really interesting lens geometry. Even so I would suggest doing the same thing I suggested but moving the bed further than centered on the window and putting the back of the desk on the same wall. Move the big things out of the corners. This is where the proportion part comes in. There's a serious issue of massing and color blocking going on here. By pushing everything out to the walls, you've destroyed any sense of the bounds of the room by hiding all the boundaries. Humans like to know the size of the space they're in. Despite a lot of stuff being in this room, it still feels empty and unmoored, like a storage space with furniture in it instead of a place where people live. Having one huge effectively unmarked wall with another huge brown hole in it (again functional but without any aesthetic sense) makes that wall seem even more bare. The floor, unbounded by regular floor/wall boundaries looks more like a lake than a planned space. The desktop space is extremely thin compared to the massive speakers sitting on it (which, of course, are top of the line consumer speakers, but poorly placed and hilariously overpowered unless you're doing highly-critical listening (in an absolutely untreated room where the PC noise is likely going to overpower the most critical differences you would get between those speakers and smaller, cheaper, speakers. The TV is a combination of all the massing stuff I just said. A huge blank space in the wall that cuts off the boundaries of the room, placed on a too-small piece of furniture, and sitting above similarly unmoored slabs of black wood in the floorstanding speakers. Like, this is the Jurassic Park of rooms. Everything is stunning individually, on paper, but there's so little thought given to how everything works together. Daric posted:I know this is the post your actual desktop thread but we need one to help these sad goons get out of their child-like aesthetics and into something more adult. I haven't looked recently, but the Apartment Goons thread tends to have a lot of that sort of thing. But as I mention at the outset, I suspect it has a lot to do with us as a community geeking out over numbers more than anything. Who cares about how things look so long as it works at optimal performance? Turns out most human beings like being in cohesive and aesthetically pleasing spaces. A lot of them just don't get exposed to what those spaces are like because most of us don't get the luxury of planned spaces.

I don't own a headboard though! Never saw the point, it gets in the way, makes it harder to upend the bed for cleaning and costs money to buy. I think it would make my bedroom look nicer but since I use a banana crate as a sorting table, I'm not too fussed about it. Student life!

The thing that's been the weirdest to me is just the bitterness and negativity about a pretty regular situation. I could be wrong, but most people who see my bedroom are like, hey that's cool. I mean, it's a bedroom. We have a normally appointed house in general, but this is my personal space, and I like it a lot. It's a bedroom, but it's also a home office and a media room, so it might not line up with a Sunset Magazine concept of a bedroom. That's ok though, in my opinion. I'm looking forward to investing in some of the better options being put out- rickie might be a little rude but they are right about a few things. I really could use a proper bed frame/headboard. Hanging a blanket up probably isn't that cool. I really don't have isolation pads under the large speakers. I'm not perfect, and happy to accept criticism. There's some truth being said here, among the bitterness, and I'm thankful for people who are trying to help, even if they have a bit of a sharp edge to them.

It's a really great position for gaming, in fact I've never seen a better gaming setup, if I'm being honest. Almost none of my friends are gamers, but the ones who have tested the setup, have been amazed. And sitting in the Embody while gaming on the TV, is like sitting in a cloud. We actually don't watch a ton of TV in here- our living room has a couch and a 75 inch TV. That's where we spend most of our TV/movie time. But when we do want to watch a movie, we do it laying down and just cuddling big spoon/ little spoon style. You're right, it's not perfectly centered, but you're wrong that it's hard on the neck. You are greatly overestimating the height of the TV. And sometimes it's nice to lay down and cuddle while watching a movie. We like it a lot, but realistically it's not often that it happens. It's much easier to go sit in the living room. The proportion stuff is pretty interesting. Just so you know, there's another painting to the right of the "brown hole". So it's actually symmetrical, and I wouldn't call it bare. I think part of the issue here is I literally just haven't posted about half of the room, including the end part of the desk, which is quite long. Do you have any good design resources I could read or look into? I'm definitely open to something else replacing the blanket, maybe you could link to some specific products? Re: the speakers, that's kind of true. Overpowered? Maybe, but they sound great. In actuality the large speakers were never supposed to be there (the Studio 530s were originally bought for the TV, which I agree are more appropriate) and the big speakers were actually out in the living room, which made more sense. Some layout changes actually "forced" the big speakers into my room. In general though, I think the speakers are good. My only real issue is that the bass is too heavy, but I turned it down in the receiver EQ and it's pretty ok now. I hope that when I get stands like you suggest, that will muffle the bass a little or at least make it a bit cleaner. carry on then posted:You’re a man child and I genuinely don’t believe that you’re even 1/10th attractive enough to be in a relationship because every square inch of that room screams “obese acne riddled loser” Life is fragile and can change on a dime. My position is due to dumb luck and circumstance, like most people's. I have no illusions that I deserve the life I lead. In all reality, I almost certainly don't  That could change tomorrow, but for now I try to enjoy the gifts provided to me for as long as they last. Your misread of the situation means that maybe you don't have it all figured out, you know? Just saying. Taima fucked around with this message at 21:37 on Dec 5, 2019 |
