While primarily used for robotic coding and simulations, often the machine idles away to add ambiance to a cozy room. This setup was something I spent many years building, and it's a place I'm honored to call home.

I have a gaming and productivity setup and this was my dream and I am glad and grateful of having such a beautiful setup. guys sorry but the picture can’t capture all of it
Custom designed and hand built to create a bespoke battle station for two. With no visible cables except our custom keyboard and mouse cables ( I designed it from the ground up with cable management in mind. Following a clean white vapourwave aesthetic, our inspiration relies heavily on music artists like The Midnight and games like cyberpunk 2077 with the relaxing vibes of lo-fi hiphop.
Our PC's are the same spec and built to match the white clean aesthetic but able to change the mood with addressable RGB lighting. We don't feel like we're finished with the build and we're constantly adding to it when funds allow but we're in the end game now.
The desk is a bespoke fit to our small spare bedroom and looks much larger in person. we've painted the back wall to make the white desk pop with the lighting and it look amazing. I am so proud of this build.
Love nature, but love tech too? Yep that's me. That's why when the time came to build my gaming/work setup, I tried to make the best of both.
Because of dad's recent passing, I had decided to move back to my parent's place to give my mom all the support I can. My dad also loved seeing me build stuff, so this build is also a tribute to him. I had never built anything home-related before, so all these is pretty much a first for me. Thankfully there's Google, and I loved how it turned out. This is for you, Dad!
The plan
-------
I already had lots of tech stuff to move back home, so the plan is just to build this gaming/work cave as cheaply as I can. I try to save and reuse things where possible ( the ceiling and wall panels are all recycled from my old cupboard), but I don't scrimp when it comes to the stuff that I feel matter. I outline the plan for each section here. details can be found when you click on the tags.
Theme
-------
I was planning to start with a minimalist theme, but I realised that wouldn't be practical with the amount of work I needed to do, the surround sound system I am setting up, and the sound absorption and diffusion I would need. Hence the decision to make a nature/cozy theme. I love nature, and keep a few pets I needed tanks for. So I ended up with the idea of mounting the PC to an alcove in my room, placing a few tanks around, and filling the rest with fake plants.
Audio
-------
The end goal is to create a system that would play music on stereo well, and provide complete 5.1 surround immersion for games/movies. With some extra foliage, I managed to hide the rear surround speakers in the Kallax shelves for extra cleaniness points! The design of the room is to minimise flat surfaces as much as possible to break up standing waves while keeping a clean look.
PC
-------
My daily workhorse provides enough computing power for my daily work as a web developer, while still being able to run most modern games at 80-100fps on ultra. I wished I had gone for a custom loop at the start, but it's my first build and I wasn't confident.
Standing desk
-------
A standing desk is something I always wanted. With the long hours I work, sitting too much is just bad for my back. A standing desk is a godsend when it comes to preventing back pain. I bought the frame and got the tabletop custom-made in 200cm x 80cm to fit my needs.
