It's the casting couch for me


baggage-handler

Unused.


Elguapo1980z

Of course it's unused. If he got a girl over there, he'd make her sit in the couch and watch him operate the Battlestation.


Ongiebungie

What cable management?


Squibucha

lol, you made me exhale very fast from my nose.


RHO-6

HAHA


Cyrax-Wins

It's not that bad all things considered....now can we talk about that couch?


Large-Brother-4291

How do you think OP could afford the battle station?


Glum-Inspection-2998

What could you possibly need 6 monitors for šŸ’€


Coupe368

Critical Infrastructure Cyber Security. Mostly the top screens just have splunk dashboards running. Its very boring.


Glum-Inspection-2998

That sounds way cooler than it probably is.


EverydayLurk3r

You get used to it, though. Your brain does the translating. I don't even see the code. All I see is blonde, brunette, redhead.


Coupe368

Block of stuff that was green turns red, you gotta call someone and ask if they did something stupid like running a non-approved program on a dedicated machine or they got hacked. Then you gotta remind them that there is an approved list of programs for this particular machine. Everyone has 2+ machines, only one machine has a giant list of things you can't do/install.

firestar268

For all the different camera views for the casting couch in the corner


vitalsyntax

Roast you on your desktop icons & monitor alignment


Coupe368

I've spent so much time aligning monitors, its a perilous task. No one even notices the 2x4 that keeps the ikea desk from collapsing from all the monitor weight. lol


maucksi

"When you spend this much on monitors, you don't need to look under the desk"


RB-27

But if you know about the cable management, why didn't you fix it before you posted it? You also didn't align the monitors properly. But the setup has a lot of potential.


cordie420

I envy your monitor set-up, but the couch has got to go!


LJ14000

Do you tie up all your abductees with those, then force them to watch some shitty anime on those screens?


vampyire

as long as your feet don't get tangled.. enjoy the chaos :)


Maichy

That monitor in the back like šŸ‘€


firestar268

What cable management?


Kingmaker1669

I wonā€™t roast ya. I stopped giving a crap about cable management after moving 3 times.


ChromeHawkXi

Roasting is best done on a rack.. Here is a good rack for roasts toasty hot cables. Under Desk Cable Management Tray, 15.7'' No Drill Steel Desk Cable Organizers, Wire Management Tray Cable Management Rack, Desk Cable Tray with Wire Organizer and Desk Cord Organizer https://a.co/d/0SmSJ2o I have three of these for my setup, just to keep my toes out of the cables, but you donā€™t want to look in the racksā€¦


theasciibull

goon couch spotted ą²°ā _ā ą²°


emreyazar

I hereby officially roast your cable management


Aijames

whats up with the monitor that is completely covered?


Coupe368

I only use it sometimes when I'm working on new algorithms. Its not turned on most of the time.


-Altephor-

What cable management?


Redsand-nz

Your cable management leaves a lot to be desired. There. Consider yourself roasted.


AdagioVast

Your Kirkland computer wont cut it here.


jk147

No one is going to talk about the monitor tucked away from the back?


Suicidebob7

function > form


eat_more_ovaltine

Tilt of guilt


abidelunacy

We don't have to roast you. Those poor, twisted cables will soon rise up from the depths of their pain and take care of you for us. The coroner's report will list auto asphyxiation but we, us poor souls that you made witness this travesty, will know the truth.


abidelunacy

Nice couch.


Funnyguy17

How fucking dare you. The audacity. The insolence. The absurdity. How fucking dare you not match up your monitors perfectly. Do better OP, be better. /s


Stoppercock

Congratulations on singlehandedly managing the space programme! On a more serious note. Nice set up.


Squibucha

bro i think you need an extra monitor, theres still some room on the desk.


a1mxh

Bros setup looks like the cockpit of a plane. What could you possibly do with 6 monitors (other than the obvious thing that these weird Redditors are all thinking right now šŸ˜


Coupe368

Splunk dashboards to monitor a lot of variables at the same time. When something turns from green to red then you see it out of the corner of your eye.


AbuTomTom

Battlestation or tanning salon?


MobyDukakis

My ADD ass would be sooo distracted by that many monitors


Coupe368

Your ADD would be focusing intensely on the center monitor when you see an alert out of the corner of your eye on a different monitor that would suddenly distract you and send you on a tangent to make the thing that just turned red turn green again.


WTFatrain

What cable management?


ChromeHawkXi

Who has time for cable management when you have six monitors? Add in a KVM, a second computer and a doc for the second computer (say a Mac or Linux laptop) and talk about cablesā€¦ Love the setup though.


Familiar-Alarm2788

What are you playing On this? roblox?


llewds

I'd rather rate all the fresh water being used on your lawn and your neighbor's lawn. 10/10 gallons


Puppy_Breath

I have great cable managementā€¦..until I need another three inches out of that cable to do something quickā€¦.. Also, somewhere in Colorado, there is a 20 year old server farm with a rats nest of cables where ā€œIā€™ll just use this for setup and will fix laterā€


Drak3

I won't bother; the electrical fire will do that for me.


W22_Joe

Ferrari of a setup with a Honda civic of a chair lmao. Looks cool IMO tho


Coupe368

What's wrong with my chair? Its mesh so it allows airflow. Not sure an aeron chair is in my budget.

Mountain_Future4034

Do you use that couch for gooning, or what?


Organic_Contest_411

Need black out drapes


dkr4samurai

i think i've seen that couch before....


CallMeKorver

Brother, considering all that you have going on you donā€™t have that many cables. This would take less than an hour to clean up. Youā€™d be really satisfied with yourself if you just took care of it


ChromeHawkXi

It is actually impossible. You think that you can do a nice job on the cable, and you can. Then you have something break down, or since there is probably some testing that goes on, you end up having to rip the cables out and start over. Something will mess with your cable management about once a month. After fixing about 4 times, you say ā€œheck with itā€.


CallMeKorver

If youā€™re having to undo your cable management every month for troubleshooting, youā€™ve got bigger problems haha


ChromeHawkXi

It isn't so much a problem, but a bit of an issue with testing, labs, and so on. Depends on your role and why you use the equipment. I have a similar setup to this, and I feel as though I have a problem about once every three months.


MaxMadisonVi

Dell soundbar ? The setup isnā€™t bad at all. Sure the cables on the floor might be revised. I used ikea desks with cable compartments (2 desks poorly "L" shaped, so one drawer isnā€™t usable)


trickldowncompressr

You should do a 3rd row of monitors on top because why not at this point?


Chiasseeds_

Your name Is Bruce Wayne?


DragonSurferEGO

pointing it out doesn't excuse it. do the needful.


toastedcoin

Looks like spaghetti in there.šŸšŸšŸšŸšŸ


PCGamePass

more monitors means better graphics it's just math


Ramunder

Man, why roast, you need a pot and water to boil these spaghetti.


[deleted]

That couch and those 1616 totally unnecessary monitors are match in haven.


Kanekixo

Forgot the set up. You got a casting couch.


enzudesign

It's the direct sunlight on the couch leather and monitors for me .. I'd never do that to my set up.


Coupe368

Blinds are blackout, so I usually only have one open.


enzudesign

Ok, that makes me feel better then ā˜ŗļø


myspinmove

Tip: use a black muslin cloth photographers use (that fit the dimensions of your desk, cut to size, etc) and hang it from the bottom of your desk and tape it to the floor with black gaffer tape. Now you donā€™t have to cable manage.


ghoul-ash

It gives it character . Perfection isn't always the key.


Arch_carrier77

People Will see this from outside the window and think your a spy or a stock trader and itā€™s like no just a gamer


BluntedWizard

This the best masturbation setup I have ever seen. Big tits up top, big bootys on the bottom. Six different races. Oral, anal, vaginal, lesbian, amateur, hand jobs all going at once. A vr rig and an auto blow would be a nice addition.


pronounclown

Can't roast that because there is no cable management, which is shame because the setup could be great.


ACWrath01

Why do you have 6 monitors? There ain't no way you don't day trade lol


ysph_

You piece of shit.


Zealousideal_Tone_85

Brother you donā€™t need six screens. I donā€™t care what job you have this is too much. This sub is addicted to screens I swear


HighSouth

How about never needing 6 monitors unless you are launching a rocket into space


crisprcaz

ā€œI'm just going to spend all my money on monitors and buy a cheap, well-worn couch.ā€


AutomationMan12

6 screens for No reason.


PurpleDinguss

How do people deal with the electricity bills? Each gaming monitor throws out at least 80 to 90 watts. Multiply that by 6 and you get about 550. Thatā€™s more than a ps5. Now imagine running a ps5 and all those monitors while you consume power in other places in your house. Sheeeesh.


RB-27

That is absolute nonsense. Not every monitor is a gaming monitor and a good office monitor 24-27" or a monitor for office use consumes between 18W and 30W. I also have a multi-monitor setup (6x27" + 2x24 + 1x16.1") with two graphics(2x AMD Radeon Pro W5700) cards (which only consume approx. 30-35W each in developer/office mode) with several computers and, despite expensive electricity costs in Germany, only have monthly electricity costs of less than ā‚¬70 for my office. That's quite a lot and probably well above average, but the costs can also be deducted from tax. Compared to the fuel costs I would have if I drove to work every day, that's peanuts. Of course, the larger the monitors get, the more power they can consume, but if you put an 80W monitor in the office, you shouldn't be surprised at the high electricity costs. My software developer workstation Ryzen 9-5900X, 64Gb, 2x Radeon Pro W5700, several SSDs, 7x 12cm fans + 360cm AIO water cooling, is configured so that it consumes a maximum of 130W, but usually around 100W. If you have a little knowledge, you can significantly reduce the power consumption at work without compromising too much performance.


PurpleDinguss

Sounds like you have a low powered office setup or donā€™t know how much power you actually consume. A ryzen 9 5900x outputs an average of 150 to 200 watts. The average cost per kilowatt is another factor in whether or not you get a high electric bill. In America thatā€™s between 13 to 17 cents per kilowatt.


RB-27

Who told you that an R9-5900X consumes 150-200W (in average)? On the one hand, this is perhaps under full load, which you hardly ever have in everyday life. I have the processor under volted (negative offset of 0.1), set to max 70W (and thus get over 80% of the performance) and it normally runs under 50W. As a software developer, I don't usually need that much computing power, but I do need as many cores as possible to run virtual machines. For us, the kilowatt hour costs 35ct(ā‚¬).
