What's your WFH setup looking like? (POSSIBLY IMAGE HEAVY)
- Thread starter iHeartGameDev
- Start date
Yes...I will be fixing the mess of wires in the back tomorrow since I don't expect to start WFM until Thursday.
My ultrawide shat the bed so we're back to 1080p, 16:9 for the foreseeable future. Matters for my gaming needs but doesn't really affect my writing work.
I like your desk too. I am in the market for one and I'm being very picky.
I don't work from home often but when I do, or when I'm working photography or role-playing stuff, budget stuff, taxes stuff, etc. This is my current setup.
I want to add more LEDs to my computer case.
But gaze at my Walmart desk, and cheap Amazon monitor!
And my Captain America Wall!

Haha, I'm using that exact desk, and have my too-big-for-the-shitty-small-Walmart-desk tower oriented the exact same way.
Apartment livin'. :(
My WFH setup is actually better than my real office - apart from lack of human contact.
Work : 24" 1080p monitor that is currently broken; crappy foam headphone headset for calls
Home : 34" 3440x1440 ultrawide; Jabra speakerphone I stole from my last office when they were closing down; Pringles

I'm just using my laptop right now, having a dual screen would be nice, but I don't have the room right now for two monitors and the dock plus mouse and keyboard. And so far I'm doing just fine. But if it gets too much I might have to just go to my building and sign out my shit and convert the dining room into my office.

I try to keep my wrists elevated and just pull my keyboard closer to the edge so I don't have to rest them on the edge. It's really not that bad lol
And the mouse doesn't need much room to move around. Haven't run into that issue at all.
I am quite petite, truthfully. So maybe that helps?
Here are some quick pics. Party on the left, work on the right. I just swivel my chair and face what I happen to be doing. I have a Logitech Z5500 sound system, a couple 1920x1200 monitors in vertical that flank a 34" ultrawide. Under the monitor and set back a little I have my PSVita on the right and my 3DSXL on the left. Further back is a bluray player that is connected to the 44" screen above where I play my movies when others are in the room for them to watch (it swivels). If I watch something while working/playing it is general on the right most vertical monitor. I have a Spiderman mini fridge to my lower right where I keep 6 frosty cool beverages for myself and visitors.
To my right, just off screen is the laptop station where my kids have their stuff set up. It's a mess so I did not include it. To my left, on the other side of the overstuffed chair, is my wife's desk which is just like mine. I did not take pics of that because 1) it is a disaster and 2) there is a lot of personal stuff out and I don't fuck with my wife's desk.
The computer room is a comfortable, inviting space in my house. Often, my wife sits in the overstuffed chair, knits, and binges TV shows with me while I put in some OT for work at night or on the weekend. Just last week, my wife was doing taxes on her PC while I played DJ at my PC. One daughter was on her laptop at the desk playing games while the other sat in the big chair and used Sound Hound to tag all the music I played and built a playlist on her iPhone. I'm happy we created such a wonderful space for us all to share if we should want to. We frequently play WoW together in here.

Mine is literally just a MacBook Pro at a kitchen table.
At work I have a 3 monitor setup. It's hard to shrink down to this.

Literally sitting on my bed.
I'm going to have horrible posture issues if this goes on for a few months...

You can see the office via these doors that close which is nice for calls:
Damn, that fits your avatar so well
Can somebody recommend a monitor that would work well vertically and can be daisy chained over DisplayPort? I have an ultrawide right now that I use, but would love to add a vertical one for documentation/chat or whatever.
I don't have a dining table until this is all over I guess. I just use a little rolling laptop cart to eat instead. (too small and wobbly to use as a WFH setup so have to use table)
For all the hype that tabris apartment got I'm feeling let down. I was expecting views of central park with priceless art on the walls.
Ouuuu LSRs. What's your job might I ask? I figure it's some sort audio related job with the gear you have (and what's on the screens)
I also have an old 32" TV off to the right for distractions like twitch. I've replaced the Blue Snowball mic with a Shure SM57, and the main 22" monitor with a 27" since taking this pic.
It's my happy place. It feels amazing to knock out 2 underscore tracks/cues for the day then switch over to games 🙂
He mentioned creating tracks so sounds like he is a composer. I'd guess there might be a guitar just out of sight as well.
Freelance composer/producer for media. Mostly bad reality TV shows :)
I actually don't play guitar! But I do have a cheap student violin that I can't play. I just used it to make horror sound effects lol
How's that MIDI keyboard for you? I have a little controller, maybe half that many keys, but I've been wanting something bigger that can still fit on a desktop. I do music as a hobby.
I'm stealing this and then passing it off as my own AND stealth editing this post later in case you try to use it as evidence of theft.
here's my rig:
It's okay! I think it's honestly the cheapest 61 key controller you can get lol... The velocity response/curve was absolutely terrible out of the box, but you can adjust it with the driver software. But it doesn't matter too much for me because I'm not a good player so I dont record/perform stuff live.
thought the left side was a bath tub filled with murky water and debris for a second
I found it annoying have multiple screens when I wasn't doing design things and actually needing references and panels up. Like they're just sitting there waiting to be filled up with junk. It was less distracting to simply alt-tab.
I feel like some of you guys have too many monitors.

I need 2 and that's good enough. I wonder if you get diminished returns past 2 monitors to the point it hinders productivity.
