It has been a long time since my last setup tour. Since then I have moved offices and upgraded almost all of my gear in that time.
Instead of focusing on a specific area, I took a look at my entire office. The PC Desk, Home Theater, Build Station, and Retro gaming area. Each area has been designed to serve a specific purpose, and I think I accomplished exactly what I set out to do.

PC Desk Setup
My desktop is the culmination of a lot of research over the last few months. I wanted a sit stand desk that was sturdy and attractive, along with a wide and deep desktop.
I ended up going with Mono Price Sit Stand Legs, and an 80″x32″ slab door for the desktop. Using a door allowed me to get a table top that was the right size, color, and thickness.

Home Theater Setup
My home theater is still a work in progress but it more then gets the job done. I use it primarily to watch 4k Blu-ray movies, and sports. I also run an active HDMI cable from my PC that allows me to play games at 4K/60Hz. The LG OLED offers the best image quality of any TV I’ve ever seen. It’s truly stunning.
For audio I have an older Definitive Technology 5.2 speaker system. The system still works well but will probably be the next thing I upgrade.

Retro Gaming Station
I put together a little retro gaming nook for all of my classic systems. This area is definitely the most lightly used section of my office, but its great when I just want to take a trip back in time.
Workstation & Build Section
Often when doing PC builds for the website and channel I would find myself in need of space. So I dedicated the wall opposite of my desk to this workspace. I have six drawers for storage and a table to do my builds and videos.
So creative….and informative! You have made great use of space, any tips on how to keep it neat and organized? My son could use some pointers:)
