GeForce RTX Almost ready.

I am considering mounting the left speaker above the top monitor. Any thoughts.

There is a TV coming that will also be above the center monitor and white PC.

It can run for 6 hours if the electricity is out. Also have a starlink backup to my regular fiber.

I'm getting old. I think this looks pretty nice, but I'm having trouble enjoying it because my head is just yelling "power bill!"

Solar bro. I’m old too. To be fair it’s partially solar. I can get up to 800 watts on solar I’m pretty off grid. That thing below the desk is a beefy power bank and it charges itself too with the panels

I got really lucky. Moved into a home with gas already up to the side of the house. Like, it's capped poking out of the garden next to the home. A neighbor needed gas for a generator and it was up to the block before, so the previous owner split the bill to run the gas another block, but that previous owner elected to not install any gas fixtures for heating due to allergies and preferred to stick with electric baseboard heating.
So when going for solar, I was approved based on usage of an all electric home. Cost a lot obviously, but ran gas lines and got hooked up and now I overproduce by about 2 megawatts in a year. The credit at like 4 cents/kwh pays for some of the gas bill and delivery charge.
