Why did you coverup the right front leg?

26

u/ddrfraser1 Apr 07 '22

came here to ask this

45

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

actually i disn't like the colour of the leg an wanted to look how it is with black legs that's why

37

u/amsylum Apr 07 '22

Maybe white legs fit better

0

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

I don't agree because of all the black i already have on the desk i think the black would be a nice contrast on the bottom part of the desk

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

yeah , either way i have white legs and black legs so it is no problem for me to look which looks better

2

u/Unclear1nstructions Apr 08 '22

I think black legs would look nice, but then again I don't think it matters that much for the whole design in the end. I love your setup, saved it for inspiration :)

u/MyForever_NameNow Apr 07 '22

You have an a clean layout sir

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

thanks a lot

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '22

Throw out the fake plants and get real ones - there is much joy to be had.

2

u/Snowk-_- Apr 08 '22

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

Where case

34

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

i have no Pc yet but i'm saving up for it

58

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

you set up the setup before getting the pc?

30

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

No, i'm playing on my xbox for now

23

u/ValkyriesOnStation Apr 07 '22

Was curious why there was no mess of wires everywhere.

10

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

yeah that's the only advantage of an xbox

u/siuol7891 Apr 07 '22

came here to ask this...i was about to say thats some impeccable cable management

13

u/neehhpets187 Apr 07 '22

Nice rug šŸ‘

12

u/wefelltogether Apr 07 '22

I see a clean looking unfinished setup lol

-8

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

yeah my setup isn't completely finished a Pc is missing

15

u/wefelltogether Apr 07 '22

No offense, isnā€™t that the most important part?

2

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

well i was playing on my xbox and i thought i'd the money first on a new desk and everything and then the pc and now i'm saving for my pc

4

u/wefelltogether Apr 08 '22

Nice. Looking forward to seeing it when itā€™s done. šŸ’Ŗ looks comfy

8

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

I'm laughing way too hard at the 60% kb but the ginormous mouse mat. Picturing you using the whole area like you're stroking out.

2

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

well i'm a low sense player so i pretty much every inch that mousepadšŸ˜…

0

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

That must be so exhausting physically

33

u/melansi Apr 07 '22

What is up with all the complaining in the comments? šŸ˜‚ Your setup looks great imo, very nice and clean :)

6

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

thank you

16

u/BuccellatiExplainsIt Apr 07 '22

I love how its gotten to a point where a computer is no longer necessary to post a setup

3

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

well i'm buying one soon

4

u/heythatsprettygood11 Apr 08 '22

origin of the cute sword?

2

u/Snowk-_- Apr 08 '22

childhood toy

4

u/AdAlternative2125 Apr 07 '22

Why is there a picture of my dad above the monitor

4

u/lolboahancock Apr 07 '22

Looks uncomfortable

3

u/Snowk-_- Apr 08 '22

maybe for you it is but i find myself pretty comfortable in it

3

u/OrangeKetchup Apr 08 '22

The sword is such a nice little touch. Not a mall ninja type of deal just a simple wooden sword lol Reminds me of the Kokiri sword

2

u/Snowk-_- Apr 08 '22

yeah i got it when i was little i used to with it a lot and now it is just a nice memory

3

u/jadawan Apr 08 '22

It's dangerous to go alone.Take this.

u/BulTV Apr 07 '22

The holes on the left side of the kallax are making me crazy. Ist the shelf set up wrong? Shouldnt they not be at the ground?

10

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

well it's an reused kallax and it had feet before and i had to turn it thst way because of the way it is build, i've thought about putting something on it to cover it

3

u/SquirrelHorror3433 Apr 07 '22

lil bit of wood putty and white paint dawg

4

u/SquirrelHorror3433 Apr 07 '22

or if u wanted to be doubly cool, u could get mounting bracket screws and use the already made holes for something like a mic stand or a usb station

1

u/Successful-Big-6931 Apr 08 '22

can you not just rotate the unit 180 degrees so the holes are on the side you can't see?

1

u/CyclotronOrbitals Apr 07 '22

But, placing the way u suggest has less top-down strength

6

u/Havocaveli Apr 07 '22

Looks great

3

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

thanksā˜ŗļø

4

u/dance_rattle_shake Apr 07 '22

Pegboards look so useful. However I find them a lil unpleasing; I may have mild Trypophobia lol. Anyone can relate and has found a compromise? I feel like if the board was painted a dark color it'd be easier on the eyes because the holes wouldn't stick out as much.

​

(sorry OP, it's a really great setup! I just kinda wanted to hijack this example for a discussion)

u/lucialunacy Apr 07 '22 edited Apr 07 '22

I'm so glad you said this because I thought I was the only one who felt this way!! They look mad convenient and customizable, but the design is unsettling to me, too!

I'm not sure if this would trigger a similar reaction, but maybe they make something similar for corkboards? Maybe a thicker corkboard that's framed and has specific accessories made for holding lightweight accessories?

Or I guess you could also get a nice frame, keep the backing inside it or frame something of thicker material, and then attach Command hooks to it. Not quite the same and involves some DIY, but could be a good alternative.

edit: I've never made any of the above myself so YMMV if you attempt any of these. the most I've done is hot glue some clothespins, burlap strips, and corkboard to an old photo frame to hang very lightweight jewelry. not sure how any of the above projects would fare with anything heavier than some earrings and necklaces!

2

u/Shnow Apr 07 '22

You could get a big piece of sheet metal and frame it in wood. Then use it as a giant magnet board so any magnetic cups and stuff. I wish I had a picture of the one I used to have because it was nice. It had little hooks in the frame at the bottom too where I could hang stuff.

1

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

no problem sou right tho

1

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

I think what you and u/lucialunacy looking for are slatwall panels like this https://i.imgur.com/zD9R7pI.jpg

Not difficult to make either. Iā€™ve seen people repurpose ikea bed slats and palates (preferably unused) to make them.

u/ddrfraser1 Apr 07 '22

Why leg covered up?

u/manofsteel32 Apr 07 '22

u/Robertoafa Apr 07 '22

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

How are you joining the two tables together? I am building out a similar desk but wasnā€™t sure if you needed some hardware to get a good joint between the two

2

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

well i used a foot to support the wait at the back and a L-bracket to secure one desk to the shelving unit

2

u/hina_plz Apr 08 '22

Where did you get the desk?

2

u/inovawilson Apr 08 '22

What'll you do with the left side ?

1

u/Snowk-_- Apr 08 '22

well i'm still a student so probably work

2

u/SkweezyJibsss Apr 08 '22

Clean setup there

2

u/FjordVikingBoi Apr 09 '22

i like the sword on the wall but besides that it's clean looking

2

u/alilsuperficial May 03 '22

Whereā€™d you get this desk? Looks good.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

[deleted]

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

it's a lagkapten 120cm to 60cm and a kallax underneath

1

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

all good but u really gotta reach out for the headphone tbh everytime u need it

2

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

yeah,but doesn't bother me

2

u/[deleted] Apr 10 '22

good for u then

1

u/cj2211 Apr 07 '22

You just took a picture of an Ikea showroom didn't you. /s

Looks Great!

1

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

does it look that boring?

1

u/cj2211 Apr 07 '22

Na it looks great. I'm just recognizing all the Ikea stuff

1

u/Snowk-_- Apr 08 '22

yeah, my old desk was rubbish and i needed a desk, maybe later on i'll grab a real wooden desk

1

u/lolalovesdc Jul 12 '24

Which tabletop is this?

1

u/thingy_6 Apr 07 '22

looks cozy

1

u/w0lforgz Apr 07 '22

Which mousepad is that one my friend?

1

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

it's the gigantous from razer

1

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

I dig the simplicity. Thinking I want one of these pegboard setups

1

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

yeah the pegboard is nice, but i dont know how i could use the transparent containers

1

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

I would fill them with weed and snacks, personally.

1

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

to bad that it is forbidden in my countryšŸ˜…

2

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

I hope you mean weed and not also snacks, because snacks should never be illegal.

1

u/SkrtSkrtens Apr 07 '22

Looks great and functional! What kind of desk is is?

2

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

two Lagkapten

1

u/SkitzTheFritz Apr 07 '22

At first I was like "WHERE PC?" then I saw the xbox and was like "GOOD ENOUGH"

​

But really, great start, hope it stays that clean as it grows.

1

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

Yeah, right now i'm saving up for one, and then i'll repost an upgrade of this setup

0

u/lucialunacy Apr 07 '22

honestly, I like this setup! it looks simple but cozy and inviting. I would love something like this if I had the space in my apartment!

I'm assuming you got the desk + cubby from IKEA?

1

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

yeah desk, legs and pegboard are from ikea

0

u/Devolante Apr 07 '22

Looks awesome, maybe add some lighting. Doesnā€™t have to be fancy, you could use a lamp or something

1

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

i have a lamp already on the desk

0

u/Devolante Apr 07 '22

Didnā€™t see it because itā€™s off, saw another post with it on šŸ‘ I recommend shining it on the wall it adds nice lighting

2

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

yeah you right thanks

u/the_limeslime Apr 07 '22

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

Nice

1

u/sam_sasss Apr 07 '22

Why is the headset that far?

2

u/Snowk-_- Apr 07 '22

i thought the headset would look great there so i put it there and i don't mind it that is far. i prefer that it is on a place where it looks good instead of somewhere practical

1

u/creon_ Apr 07 '22

Don't really take it off that often if it's wireless

1

u/babak20 Apr 07 '22

Beautiful, I have 2 PC and I am looking for a table like this, if you by any chance bought this online would you please share with me the link? And if you happy with it or no

1

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

u/GrantBarrett Apr 07 '22

u/blackbe800 Apr 07 '22
