What does your COVID work-from-home battle station look like?

[cheez]

So my employer offered us extra gear to make sure our WFH office experience was acceptable, and I took them up on it. Problem is, desktop real estate is at a premium. I kind of figure there's probably other folks solving the same problem in different ways... so let's see your COVID-19 Work From Home Battle Station. I'll share mine, ya'll can laugh at it, and post your own, since it'll inevitably be more tasteful/classy/have actual effort put into it.

Since it's temporary, I went with a ghetto TV tray stand and cardboard box riser, with a box from chinese food take-out for stability, and placed a monitor upon it. It's kind of my design ethic- the other monitor stands on a box from a 15-light string and has a landscaping block in it to hold up the monitor. Ghetto appears to be my style, so let's roll with it.

Bonus points for spotting: q tips and rubbing alcohol for banger cleaning; D&D dice; sun microsystems mousepad; game of thrones lamp; avogadro thermometer.

Based on the item above the monitor on the left, I'm going with adult marital aid distributor.

I wouldn't say it requires it, I do a lot of hardware design/engineering work.

One point for noticing the avogadro thermometer. Gift from my mom about 20 years ago.

They massdrop boards seemed pricey to me. I'm about to build my first (when the rest of my parts arrive from china :laughing

YMDK 96 key pcb, massdrop halo true switches (were on sale), YMDK keycaps, and alu glass bottom case from KPRepublic. Wish me luck!

I think I might do a 75% next.

I need a bigger desk.

Near the beginning of the lockdown I took over my kids' play loft area and bought a boatload of home office stuff: table/desk, chair, bose 700 noise cancelling headphones. All of the computer gear is from work.
Looks nice, except when I power on the web cam everyone sees the wall o' nerf guns. Everyone loves it, including my director :laughing

Look up a dell laptop and an Ikea desk and you have my setup.

i just realized this is the perfect opportunity for PCMR, battlestations, audiophile, mechanical keyboards and other nerds to flex.

I have one keyboard and mouse and one 34in 3440x1440 monitor. I have 4 computers hooked up to this with an HDMI switch and KVM so that I can cut down on the mess. I also have a laptop on one side to check emails and the barfs. Way too much going on to get a good picture or it and I am a messy person so there is that also.

Dude you might just win the WFH background war! Mine's some shelving and wall hangings, nothing special. You're pretty far up the list- so far my favorite has been my co-worker who lives in a Presidio loft and has rooftop access- he takes his laptop up and does standup meetings with a view of the bridge.
