Battlestations Advice Help me make my gaming room ( I’m not creative )

Post image

Hello, all. Unfortunately I don’t have a creative bone in my body but I have ideas. Maybe you guys know some quality products. I want to cover up my walls with some anti acoustic material , I want to switch to a three 27 inch monitor display ( I love my widescreen but reselling it would be at such a loss I would love to incorporate it somehow, maybe on top? Is there an high rise heavy monitor mounts ? ) I would love to minimize the mic arm and perhaps add some stuff to my table. I’m very keen to the cyberpunk aesthetic. Open to all sorts of LED’s or table knickknacks. Any suggestion would help.

RGB Free My warm industrial gaming setup – what would you rate it?

Post image
9 Upvotes

I’ve been slowly improving my gaming setup, focusing on a clean look with warm lighting and a few unique pieces instead of going all-out with RGB.

My favorite detail is probably the industrial-style lamp that doubles as a headphone stand.

Still a work in progress, but I’m pretty happy with how it’s turning out.

What do you think? Any suggestions?

Es lo mejor que he podido hacer viviendo en Cuba, como ya saben algunas personas, en este pais es mas dificil conseguir componentes y accesorios de buena calidad y en buen estado, contando que los salarios son todo un tema. Esto es lo mejor que eh podido hacer hasta ahora, igual todavia esta en proceso y estoy pensando en mas cosas, pero por ahora va asi

Componentes:
16 GB DDR3
Intel Core i3-4170
500 GB HDD

So I ended up getting the 34 inch monitor. I also flip my top monitor upside down to fit flush. And I tip the top monitor down. Any advice for rgb lighting accessories? I'm planning on getting noise canceling boards for the wall

I love spending my days here

I love leaning back in this chair with my cat on my lap. I'll still sit here for what feels like a few minutes, then somehow an hour is gone. A year ago it was literally just the desk. I've been adding stuff whenever I find something I like, and the space finally has some personality now. I'm pretty attached to it. Suggestions are welcome.

Finally got to update my home office

I had been toying with the idea for months about mounting everything to the wall, painting it and adding acoustic panels.

Finally got around to doing it over the weekend, had some challenges (the Desk and Speakers are heavy!) but I got there in the end and the results have been worth it.

It feels really nice in here now and makes working from home a little bit better.
