A bit of a budget setup, but I am finally extremely happy with it. PC running R7 370 and 1090T. Still handles most games fine on med-high, but hopefully upgrading in about a year.

After the picture was taken I moved the mount about 8 inches to the left. There is a bracket in the middle of my desk that prevents it from being perfectly centered. Any suggestions for what to do next? Mouse upgrade is probably most practical - I've been using a $20 'gaming' mouse for about a year.

Monitor - Found out after I got it that if you keep an eye out it occasionally drops to just over $200.

Thanks pal,
This picture is from a while ago, I currently use a Corsair K70, but I believe this is the board I had when I took this picture. Its a super budget board, but I loved it. Quality is superb for the price.

Thanks! Yeah I figured lol.

I got this from Amazon. I was really iffy because it was so cheap compared to other monitor mounts but it's super sturdy and really happy with it.

I did get some strips of MDF and got it sandwiched between the clamps and my desk to distribute the pressure. I read about nightmare stories of the mount punching through the desk.

Maybe consider a monitor mount (example) and a headphone hook (example) and you might find yourself with some more space to work with. Looks great, though. Pretty cool that you're so close to that window for some fresh air.

[Redragon K552 Kumara] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Redragon-Backlit-Mechanical-Keyboard-English/dp/B016MAK38U?th=1)

A TKL board that comes with Outemu Blue Switches (which sound super clicky and loud on this board). The switches themselves are removable.
The red back-lighting is also really nice, but can only be adjusted for brightness, though there is an RGB model with more lighting modes.

I have that same desk! The keyboard tray sucks and it also scratches easily.

I have my wires twist tied to the back using plastic tie mounts right along the top section. It makes it look a lot nicer, for like 3 bucks!

Drill a hole in your desk under your keyboard and route your mouse and keyboard wire under your desk

Ditch the Cheap led remote and get one of these ,way more colors, adjustable brightness, timers for turning on and off, google home and Amazon Alexa compatible

Maybe a slightly larger monitor or a multi monitor setup

Switch the LED color to something more neutral or form some sort of color scheme

Get a lamp with a good LED bulb

Yeah, here’s a link to it on Amazon

cyberpower pc

It’s really good for a prebuilt

I'm pretty sure most of the shock mounts for the yeti can be mounted to a traditional 5/8 mic mount so a combination of this arm with a shockmount like THIS could work


EDIT: or even THIS could work

Very happy with it. Especially at that price.

This one is also pretty cheap.

Use one of those banana holder things. They are pretty cheap.

Thanks! The keyboard is a Keycool 87 with Logitech G710 keycaps. The cable I’m using is a LINDY Coiled Cable.

Thanks! Just a Banana Stand
