I try the /r/Battlestations subreddit regularly. That’s proper, weirdos, I’m your meticulous, lovingly lighted house workplaces and PC gaming desks, analyzing your decisions for {hardware} and magnificence, as a result of I’m precisely the identical sort of sick as you. However this particular person’s custom-built monitor setup is perhaps essentially the most intense I’ve ever seen.
Reddit consumer ZealousidealWorry881 posted an unbelievable, custom-made monitor array yesterday and immediately gained the sub. In response to their feedback on their very own pictures, the setup just isn’t in truth a full PC-monitor combo. It’s a stunningly elaborate stand for the twin displays and a few additional bits, together with a mini show, keyboard keys for buttons, and a USB hub. They mentioned that the enclosure is constituted of wooden, plywood, and “some metallic elements,” plus repurposed plastic air flow components.
In response to the creator’s feedback, the facet monitor on an everyday VESA arm is 23 inches, so I’m guessing the decrease display is 27 inches and the highest one (talked about as 2K) is 32 inches. The smallest display is a 4-inch LCD (which seems to be linked to the first Home windows system), and the quantity readout is a digital clock. There’s no 3D printing concerned; it’s much more handmade by the appears of issues.
The entire thing looks as if it’s pulled off the deck of what Ridley Scott thought spaceships would appear like again in 1979. Oh, and for those who’re questioning if this factor is rendered or presumably even AI-generated: I don’t assume so. The creator obtained a few feedback to that impact, and posted a second picture from a special angle. I can even affirm a number of the actual {hardware}, just like the Logitech Z207 audio system, G203 mouse, and StreamCam. These aren’t actually on-theme with the setup, and I doubt they’d be included except the creator was actually utilizing them.
They are saying that they’re knowledgeable streamer (verify that DSLR on a mount), and that they’ll submit a video of the construct course of quickly. I can’t wait to look at it.
Replace: Right here’s the video, full with OneGedz’s course of for researching 80s-inspired shows, retro futurist sensibilities, adapting his present monitor arm setup, and constructing the monitor stand from scratch. It’s extremely cool, a full wood body with exact angles and cutouts for the {custom} setup. “At this level, it was like a LEonardo da Vinci kind shit, I felt like a [real] engineering genius.” Certainly.
