I try the /r/Battlestations subreddit frequently. That’s proper, weirdos, I’m your meticulous, lovingly lighted residence 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 may be 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 photographs, the setup isn’t actually a full PC-monitor combo. It’s a stunningly elaborate stand for the twin displays and a few further bits, together with a mini show, keyboard keys for buttons, and a USB hub. They stated that the enclosure is produced from wooden, plywood, and “some steel elements,” plus repurposed plastic air flow parts.
In response to the creator’s feedback, the facet monitor on a daily 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 related 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 seems of issues.
The entire thing looks like it’s pulled off the deck of what Ridley Scott thought spaceships would appear like again in 1979. Oh, and when you’re questioning if this factor is rendered or probably even AI-generated: I don’t suppose so. The creator received a few feedback to that impact, and posted a second picture from a special angle. I may also verify 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 (examine that DSLR on a mount), and that they’ll put up a video of the construct course of quickly. I can’t wait to observe it.
Replace: Right here’s the video, full with OneGedz’s course of for researching 80s-inspired shows, retro futurist sensibilities, adapting his current monitor arm setup, and constructing the monitor stand from scratch. It’s extremely cool, a full picket body with exact angles and cutouts for the {custom} setup. “At this level, it was like a LEonardo da Vinci sort shit, I felt like a [real] engineering genius.” Certainly.
