/bst/ - Battlestation Thread

I'm tempted to go from having a benq 144hz 23" monitor and a dell 1080p 21.5" to one 27" 1440p. would i miss having two monitors?

exp gdc beast + gtx 750 ti + dell da-2

i think its the best option to bottleneck the cpu in the smallest way possible, also nice bang for the buck

Cute little anime girls, LED's and plants.

OP Here. All I'm missing is a decent Audio setup for my TV (For Movies and stuff)

What do you guys recommend around $200-350 budget

>dab tool, umaru, dice set, small cookware
>N-nande?
Dab tool is for the dab rig off camera.
Umaru is because Umaru
2 Dice set for when you need randomness
Small copper cookware, I've got 7-8 full sizes pieces of copper cookware as well, my mother knowing my fondness for copper got me that miniature set for Christmas.

i am the worst photographer on earth but here. i want to go from these two goofy 1080p monitors to a 27" 1440p

It's my swim uniform from the 2016 olympics

How'm I doin'?

Neat.

3lite g4m3r please show me the way.

I'll let you in on a little secret, this build is old and isn't really specced for my monitor. I spent all my money on peripherals. I regret nothing.

Accidentally drilled a 1/2" hole through my desk trying to see if could fit a snap toggle in there to anchor my legs on. Went to lowes yesterday and got a hollow core door, finished it, added some plywood support underneath and added some cheap legs from the container store. I really need new speakers.

What kind of floor is that? are you in your garage? Not hating just curious.

faggots

most likely empty on the inside

lmao. its shitty tile. I live in a DIY space. I'm redoing the floors and shit soon. I had to build my own ceiling. Still haven't mudded/taped it yet.

This has been my desk since high school. The top is pretty wobbly though and mouse pad isn't big enough to use fully.

I think it is about time I get a grown up battle station.

I'd rather kill myself

Is 3 monitors better than 2? Or is it just overkill?
I got some money left over from my refund and I was thinking of getting a third and putting it sideways.

Sauce on clock pls

I finally got round to cleaning up and my first post in a long time

I had a glass table and only my left monitor last time

3 monitors is overkill if you're just using a computer for basic stuff, i could see it being worth it doing coding though

aesthetically its not overkill though

Lots of sub-$10 options on Amazon. You might also have local people who make them and for cheap.

need advice

currently have an x34 as my primary and only monitor

either going to buy another ultrameme and mount it above my current one, or buy a decent 4k tv

monitor placement is awfull

do you even have legroom?

Lel, its a souvenir from Bali

Used to before I upgraded to the fucking suitcase sized behemoth I have now. Don’t have many other places to put the monitor unless I take down the shelf I had installed over the desk. Was kinda hoping for it to be a little lower when I paid for it to be installed. That’s what I get for not paying attention to the renovators :P

ones with four legs

>ishygddt

Nice side tables. The best part of them is that they'll blow away in the fucking wind if you let them. At least they're appropriately named for the LACK of fucking quality they have.
Perhaps invest in a desk that will allow you to put your monitors in a more sensible position. Perhaps even one where there's storage for all your electronics and cock lotion?
It's hard to rate your zoomed in random mishmash of electronics that you've collected at the behest of your fellow college-aged compadres on the internet. At least put your two useless toys away next time.
Yes, that's the fidget spinner and Raspberry Pi I'm talking about.
Doesn't really matter what you put up on your wall when you'll get bloody fucking blinded by the shocking blue paint behind it. Perhaps a collection of sunglasses mounted to the wall would help.
I'd like to commend you for taking time out of being a (likely Canadian) junky to rate other people's setups.
Simple enough, but you should really pull out a bit. I know your friends on other sites like to see your close-cropped "minimal" audio setup, but without getting to see the rest of your room at all it looks like you have an unhealthy sexual attraction for audio paraphernalia.
Could be worse. Possibly.
Let's pretend.
My First Ikea / 10
At least it should be functional, but eventually you'll want a desk that be in line of sight of your fan without risk.
The artistic use of flowers and cartoon shopping bags was very bold.
Must you lean back so often so as to require your keyboard to be shifted like that? A little self-discipline goes a long way.
Good and honest about your sloven nature, if nothing else.
The important part is that you both tried. Imagine what you could accomplish if you put that amount of effort(?) towards learning how to take better photos!
I'll give your setup a rating of exactl-

Wow looking cool Joker!

>wanting a piano chair for comfort

Post your shitstation next time you faggot, all opinions discarded

A shame that I hit the character limit last time, lessee now...
A cut corner on a desk. A very poignant, yet subtle reminder of what not do in life. Classic.
Very good, nice and ironic. Unfortunately you missed a spot on your desk where you could've placed more of the refuse that would otherwise rightly belong in one of the many bins underneath said desk.
Interesting. What compelled you to place your desk and TV stand at your entry way?
But what does it meeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan?
The important thing is that you managed to place everything haphazardly in an unpleasing arrangement.
But, seriously. How ARE you doin'? Please do not use the screwdriver on yourself. Remember, other people are already trying to screw you over. Don't deprive them of that pleasure.
Almost symmetrical, and managing to not block the windows as well. Notsobad, even if your taste in decor of "carabiners with keys on them" is a bit too avant-garde.
Congratulations on surviving the hurricane. Impressive to see that your computer functions well after what it did to the rest of your room.
Living the dream.
You already have one. It's called a desk.
One day you'll look back on this setup nostalgically.
The cropping of "I need to get the poorly done pretty-colored posters in but nothing resembling the rest of the room" loses you some marks.
A youthful setup. One to look back fondly on as you grow older.
And now you have a working computer, presumably, and additional monitors and toys! Very good, very good.
Love the long, low display cabinets. Most people here post their desks, however.
The color coordinated tablet and keyboard keys are cute, will give you that.
Decently efficient bedroom setup.
Since you've turned a light on? It could help while taking photos. Maybe even open up those window blinds.

How do you receive the nourishment required to expel waste into the receptacle if you never move?

>beksinski art
which one?

A highly mobile station. Even the photo seems to have motion blur, adding to its speed.
An upgrade of "a shade for the lamp" wouldn't happen to be forthcoming as well?
No.
The first step is the hardest. Next step could very well be that floor!
Seriously though, it's therapeutic to get that mess taken care of now and again, don't you think? Even if maintaining the cleanliness is a bit much to ask for.
You could filter your image more while also zooming in so we can't glimpse any wall or desk next time. That might help.
I've also rated my own station while on one of my many devices in order to throw you off.
Alright, I haven't. Perhaps next time though.

The lamp stays behind the monitors to ease eye strain and is also the only source of light in the room

he has a bigass mousepad if you look closely

it is what it is.

tell me

is a dac/amp worth it

do you hear a noticeable difference?

I have that Raidou over there. Sadly not a lot of real shin megoomi stuff out there. I'd kill for Demi-Fiend merch that isn't grossly overpriced.
I wish I had a display cabinet to keep some of the figures off my desk.

Oops I meant this but you're probably the same guy.

They're worth it if you have decent headphones. Schiit doesn't make good DACs or amps though, just for your information.

Hey, IM THE GUY WITH THE 7 HEADPHONES BUT U DONT ASK ME.
Yes, it's worth it but don't overspend. First get a measurably transparent dac so you know your sound is clean(Topping d30, OL Dac, Modi 2 Uber) then get an amp that suits your needs(O2 Amp, Magni 3, etc).
You don't have to spend even $300 and it'll be enough to use well even with a hd800 or t1, etc.

i have senneiser hd 579's

i was thinking of getting a FiiO E10K or either a FX Audio DAC X6

since those are pretty cheap

im not gonna spend hundreds of dollars on this im not such an audiophile

but if around 100 bucks can get me a decent audio quality boost i'll do it

i'll have 14 frames to fill, i haven't chosen yet
but i have one big poster that i recently got at beksinski exhibition and its this one, gonna frame it too

>ikea fredde
nice!

but why is it that everybody who owns logitech surround speakers never actually puts the rear speakers behind them?

what is the tape deck for?

who was the genius who thought it was wise to put electrical outlets right next to the toilet?

what computer is that?

what happens if you need to get out of your seat in a hurry?

it looks like you are squatting in an abandoned house

from a few years ago when i was kind of down in the dumps and had to live in this tiny shit room for a year.

...

i'd get fiio e10k instead of the dac x6. with the dac x6 it will be too loud plus it's meant for headphones with at least 80ish ohm impedance.

Get the fiio e10k, it measures well and with the dac x6 you'll need to use equalizer apo to compensate for it's subbass and treble droop.

I do coding for school and shit but I also think the sideways monitor would be good for browsing chans and shit. I have a lot of wasted space on here.
Plus even if I wanted 2 monitors and one to be sideways I'd still have to buy another side only one has vesa supports and the second one I have is starting to die out.

half of the amount of work you used to trigger sweaty neckbeards on a Malaysian cave painting forum could get your parents to believe you are not a failure in life

I'm the cut corner guy, why not?

It's not terrible, but it's not great, either.

2/2

Hey it's practical so whatever. Spend $35 on a dual monitor mount. Spend $100 on a second 23" 108p monitor to replace that ancient hp

Problem is I need to still justify the new monitor, because, while it's old as fuck, it still works and it's 720p. I'll probably buy another when I make a new build, which won't be for another few years, because fuck miners.

>It's not terrible

That's just your opinion guy

Lefty Deathadders kept dying on me. I finally caved in and bought an expensive G900.

...

...

Nothing changed so I won't bother posting my /bst/
I plan on buying a new monitor though.
I know it obviously has to be a dell ultrasharp but there are tons of different models.
Now before I form my own shitty opinion I would like to hear what you guys say. What do I get?
Full HD is fine, IPS display? Oled? No clue what's gud. I don't care about refreshrate, should be around 24" and absolutely needs vesa mount.

Is that the girl from the Dofus movie ?
Good taste it is

Mine's lasted me years.

>60% keyboard so he can flail his mouse across his desk for counter-strike and have a retarded low sens.
I like how you try to use the monitor base and mousepad to consistently line up the keyboard, its a nice touch (although stupid for a 60%).

What happened to the guy who used to post his battlestation that had 2 canvases, 1 with spike, 1 with Faye black and white and back to back on the wall. Never see it nemore

Damn, those are some nice speeds. What are all the cans on the left, I feel like they're relevant to guessing the job

Depends on your application, if it's just for general home use and you don't care about refresh rate then it really doesn't matter. If you're going to be doing something like graphic design work then color accuracy starts to matter

Hey its you, the guy with the white zowie I pussied out on buying last year that has been out of stock since.
I'm buying a real force 87u 55g in black and a ec2b+ceesa cable to try and compete with your aesthetic.

Who uses the numpad though, really? But you are correct 400 DPI 1.5 sens, m_rawinput 1

Any type of data entry that involves numbers is miserable without a numpad. I like it even for entering the pin on my desktop.

You aren't supposed to plug UPS's into surge protectors.

Also, you're using consumer networking gear

6.5/10

nothing to do with clover, moron.

Your phone saves orientation information in the EXIF instead of hard saving the orientation. When you post to Cred Forums the EXIF information is stripped (for privacy reasons). Since your phone didn't hard encode the rotation, your photo rotates back to it's original position.

To get around this just open it up and "save as" in any photo editor first. This hard locks the orientation.

Also, plugging the UPS into a surge protector given the configuration I have is perfectly fine. :)

What would you do with all the power-blocks that dont fit on one strip?

They all look like the prongs will make the plug go sideways. Meaning they will all fit.

It wast made to look "anything" it was built with pure functionality oriented.

well, you own your own modem, and you have a vlecro strap for cable management, I assume it sits on the floor, and I can only hope you have a router. 2/10

Making a lot of assumptions there kiddo.

It's actually a modem/router combo. I have to put it on this styrofoam package on top of some shelving because for airflow. If it gets to hot the WiFi cuts out.

You should daisy chain UPSs or surge protectors. It voids warranties, degrades the power, and can cause fires in extreme cases.

1. The UPS is not daisy chained into another UPS as the link describes.

2. You are not considering the specific use case, and linking to another "open forum" as a reference is all you autistic Cred Forums fucks know how to do.

If you read the forum you posted, it describes people who were maxing it out and overloading it...
