So the Herman Miller 15% Semi-Annual Sale started today, and I was planning on picking up an Embody in my ongoing effort to de-Ikea my home now that I have a real job. However, I was curious if anybody had any experience with the Flo monitor arm system HM sells: http://store.hermanmiller.com/Products/Flo-Monitor-Support

They are set up to go with the Embody, so I assume they will be better than other options, even more expensive ones by whatever that other company is. I have a 30" S-IPS or whatever it is monitor that I plan to mount on it. Any tips?

Damnit. Want a red Eames Aluminum Group Executive Chair.

Under the specs it says that mount is only good up to 20 lbs or roughly a 24inch monitor. I would suggest you weigh your monitor or at least check the spec sheet of it to see if you're even in that ballpark before you spend your money.

whoops. thanks for being able to read, as I am apparently unable to perform basic comprehension tasks. I have one of those Samsung quasi-IPS monitors, which I am told is lighter than normal, but I'll check the specs
weight.

Apparently the Ergotron LX is less expensive than I thought, so I think I might be better off with that over the Flo. Any thoughts?

Also, Embodys are basically the most comfortable desk chairs in the world so I don't know what you're on about there either.

JEALOUSLY. Anyone who doesn't have an Embody does deserve mockery. 15% off and free shipping until Monday! GET ONE.

TF just get an Ergotron mount. I have a Dual LX and it owns, dual 24" wides and they haven't moved since I set it up months ago.

But the Ergotron is ugly and the Flo is made for my desk and I am a babby.

I might just get both and give whichever one is the worse butler back to the Catholic Church

If you're a tall, proud Aryan �bermensch like myself and need some extra height on your chair, try some extra big-rear end casters like from: http://www.miraclecaster.com/

Not only do they give me an extra inch or two of adjustment, but they make chairs look like sweet moon buggies

This desk is actually really small (in usable surface area) and specialized. It would be cool in an office that has other surfaces for things besides a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

I actually thrifted my speakers I've probably spent about $3500 total on an audio rig that exceeds 5 figures at this point.

I'm always on the lookout for better furniture. This desk isn't as bad as it looks, it was originally from Ikea. An upgrade is inevitable, however.

reminder that you could not tell the difference between yours and equipment that costs a quarter of what you spent, yet still use dorm room furniture

please get new priorities

Telling people that their subjective values are wrong because they don't align to yours is not advice, and the console comparison is apt since this is what this machine basically is - and I used similar reasoning when choosing components.

I'd personally go without the space shuttle bit but even with that it's not terrible.

Got a couple questions if you don't mind (someone give a shout if I go deraily).

Do you use the mic from that distance, or move it closer? I have an AT2020+ and I'm going kinda crazy trying to find a good spot for it.

Doesn't it bother you having the monitors separated/angled like that? How "deep" is that desk?

I'm digging the overall look. I may steal that speaker setup if I convince my mum to let go of some old Technics speakers she has.

/edit: also VVVVVV

I have the same mic as you (plus the big kid, non-welfare model of that guy's amp and DAC), and I have it on a stand at the very back of my desk and I'm perfectly audible. however I'm a loud talker so if you're a mumbley Proud Introvert you might need to speak up like your dad would have wanted you to if he didn't run off when you were 7.
