      I was worried about damaging the worktop with monitor mount clamp. My friends used cardboard too but I found you can buy monitor mount reinforcement plate on eBay for £13.
      Also you should replace the pads on the Bose headphones for around £5 on eBay easy fix.

    Among all the setups across the internet, this is the one I've found the most cleverly designed one. Mounting the PC underneath the desk is a genius solution that everyone should consider. I've done something similiar by mounting my PC components on a shelf under my table without an outer case, which provides both good discretion and airflow. Thanks to this video, I feel less like a weirdo about this now.

    I recommend you look for those steel monitor mount reinforcement plates. It's a pair of metal plates and sandwich the desk under the monitor stand. It's more reliable and great for heavier monitors.

    I have a similar set up. I really like the vibe and de-logoing the mouse was a nice touch. I don't like mats, light bars (cause I only use my comp in daylight), or desk trays but apart from that here are some suggestions to clean things up:
    - cut cardboard or grab a metal plate to replace it.
    - Align power stripe with cable raceway.
    - get a drawer instead of having the desk stand, gives you way more space, keeps it clean looking and avoids need for a pencil tray.
    - I'd recommend turning the computer sideways to avoid hitting it with a knee and gives a slimmer look.
    - mount the computer charger under the tabletop and add black (Velcro like) command strips that are made from plastic. They remove clean and don't pitch up dirt like Velcro but will avoid needing to put your charger on the tabletop. If you need IO on the table then grab a mini io c clamp from AliExpress.

  • @Nick-mi4cg

    Thank you for all the ideas! There are at least 3 solutions here that I will be trying to implement myself (love the pen drawer). I unfortunately have multiple computers I need to work with on the same desk, which has presented it's own peripheral related integration problems, but much of what you've presented will definitely assist in wrangling my multi-machine setup.

      Regarding peripheral issues, I use multiple computers all the time and as a suggestion, you can try the Logitech K780 keyboard and M720 mouse which have buttons for quick switching between 3 computers. You can connect them using Bluetooth or their dongles. I don't have a solution for sound and cameras yet though.

    For the cardboard, you can cut the squared edges to round it up a little and maybe paint it black too just to make it more aesthetically pleasing. I'm sure it bugs you a little everytime you're on the desk😂. A cool, sleek setup otherwise. I love it.

    Feng Shui tip: Turn your desk around and have your back to a wall. Especially if you don't have appointments where you meet people in your office, there's no reason not to be more comfortable by having your back to a solid wall. As a bonus it makes it easier to use zoom filters for your background.

What about a noisy keyboard? Why not membrane?

    ahh you're brilliant, Daniel. This is a majorly 'Baus' setup. Love all the well thought out vids - well done. Also, Welcome to Canada! - fellow architect from Toronto.

    Nice setup. I love the attention to detail. The matte screen and cardboard strip would drive me up the wall. But since I do woodworking, I wouldn't worry too much about the desk finish. I assume they finished it well.

    Does the BENQ lightbar come with the adapter already?

    It's a shame that the monitor doesn't have PD (power delivery) for my Mac, otherwise this would be a no brainer. I'm currently doing monitor research and it seems I either have to sacrifice PD for HDMI 2.0 or for less refresh rate :(

    That's hell of a minimalistic setup! Very nice looking overall, thanks for making this video. Can't wait to change my home workstation setup

    Did the LED pack come with the corner pieces? or did you buy those separately
