Not much has changed in our lounge since my 2019 post, but here are some shots of my newly finished home office/battlestation setup...
First some moody night shots, because everybody likes a bit of LED lighting:
This cabinet is where I keep all my network gear, and my VR gaming gear. That's a DK1 Kickstarter backer card, signed by the (then) Oculus team:
Mass Effect 3 "Earth Alliance" limited edition oversized lithograph (signed by artist, 1/500):
Here is how it looks by day:
More photos in this Imgur album depicting various other lighting schemes.
Some details:
I'm currently migrating my PC to a new case and replacing some older components but, currently it is:
Peripherals:
- Coolermaster Cosmos S (amazing case, lasted me 10 years, but upgrading to a c700m soon)
- ASUS ROG Strix X99 Gaming mobo
- Intel i7 6850k @ 4.3Ghz
- EVGA 2080Ti Black Edition
- 32Gb Corsair Vengeance DDR
- Corsair H115i Liquid CPU cooler
- Corsair HX 850i PSU
- Razer Chroma Blackwidow V2 keyboard
- Razer Chroma Goliathus Extended mouse mat
- Razer Chroma Basilisk Ultimate wireless mouse
- Razer Chroma Base Station
- Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless headset
- Elgato Stream Deck
The space itself is an outbuilding recently purpose converted for use as my home office. Whilst installing the networking I added a couple of additional 35m cat6a runs back to the house, so that a 4K HDR video/audio signal with usb (for wireless controllers, peripherals etc.) could be piped back over Ethernet to our living room, for comfy couch gaming on a large screen 4K Projector setup. It works great, no noticeable lag introduced.
The whole thing is lit using Philips Hue, and synced to the current desktop wallpaper/app... so the ambiance/mood is constantly changing in the room (although of course that can be set to a static lighting scheme too).
All Razer Chroma peripherals also sync in the same way.
Voice control over most a/v and lighting aspects via Alexa and Harmony.
The cabinets are a mixture of Ikea Besta units, the desktop is supplied from Worktop Express and then cut to size and wall mounted for the floating effect.
Did all the work myself apart from the initial plasterboard skimming.
I posted this on /r/battlestations the other day.
I love this! This is an example of RGB lights done right. The only thing I'd change is the PC case. Something like a white NZXT H700/H710i would fit so well.
Why? Why did you have to post these With info? Now I've discovered Kilian Eng from Cook and Becker and have a bunch of prints watched on eBay.
Not sure if this question was for me. If so, it's a couch table that came with our couch (https://www.lovesac.com/product/ite...essories/sactionals-table-dark-walnut/2194221). Probably not the best price, and you might find better alternatives. It was just something that came together with our couch set and since we rarely used it, I realized that it was close to perfect for couch PC usage.What kind of table is that? I'm looking for something similar.
Oh wow that first pic really transports you in time. I dig what you've done with it, but it's missing a couple pinball machines for my taste. :)
I just got my new media console last night and built it. Will be actually moving it over and getting tv/consoles set up today hopefully. Will snap a couple pics to contribute.
Awesome setup
He used to have a Capcom Impress candy cabinet but some monster bought it from him.Oh wow that first pic really transports you in time. I dig what you've done with it, but it's missing a couple pinball machines for my taste. :)

My place is starting to really come together, I'm happy with it. Built new media console last night and moved everything in tonight. Now that it's there I need to decide on the table as I previously mentioned it's temporary, but maybe something lower to at least match the height of the stand. Prepped for a new TV purchase in the coming months when I decide on which one.
Before:
After:
Nothing crazy exciting with the computer side, just a black L desk with matching blackness. So instead here's just to the right, some new chairs I picked up along with newer succulents.
I have a bunch of prints to still frame and put up, and now that the TV wall is opened up a bit, once I get a bigger TV I'll decide on what I want to put up there as well.
Thank you! It's a studio I'm still furnishing but it's very close to what I had in mind at this point. Saw NIN close to my birthday a little over a year ago and noticed the poster, friend got it for me as his present. I love it. I've got a Tycho print which may be my favorite framed piece I have, I'll snag it if I remember.Looking quite cosy, particularly loving the NIN framed poster! And the tiny succulents!

Yeah I have I think 3 of his prints. here's the one I was referring to (tried to hide from the reflection as much as possible while still getting a decent angle):Oh we love Tycho over here too, and their album cover sure do make for amazing pieces of art to display, I approve!
I really like your flooring.

damn. you sure you didn't just copy and paste from a magazine?Really love some of this setups in this thread. First time sharing my place - pretty pleased with how it's coming together.
Living room setup - Xbox One X (I switch this between the living room and spare room) and Nintendo Switch.
Spare room setup - Xbox One X
I haven't got around to decorating this room yet, so I'm currently just using furniture from my old apartment. I plan on replacing all the furniture but it's working great for me at the minute. (I plan on moving to all digital next gen - can't be bothered with game discs / cases anymore)

Thanks, both the person working at the shop and I were excited at how good it looked when finished.Loving it, it's a pretty frame, the colors working well together too!

How do you keep everything dust free I feel like every time I step into the living room there's dust already gathering on the tv stand, consoles etc. Im scared to leave the switch out with joycons like that too cause of how easily the joycons get dust and start Drifting afterwards D:
The dining table and coffee table are from La Redoute and the console table I actually made myself with some hairpin legs from amazon and wood from a local joiner. All the furniture in the spare room is from IKEA. As for decor, we just pick things up as we go along from a range of places, but our favourites are NEXT, Oliver Bonas and Anthropologie.This set up is super elegant. I'm going to use it as inspiration for the future. Where did you buy your furniture and decor?
As long as she's happy and healthy chunk away.yeah she old and blind so doesn't get much of a work out any more. Vet says she fine but yeah she getting chunky.
I really like the flexibility with this setup in terms of seating arrangements for a ton of people.Been following this thread over the years and I finally have a set-up worth posting. The area is designed for watching movies first, but gaming comes a very close second.
Overall view of the theater:
Here is a reverse view to get a better look at the seating:
Here is a view of the media shelf:
And then here is the component cabinet:
Here is the breakdown of the goodies in the shelf:
Receiver: 13.2 Channel Denon AVR8500 (I am using a 9.2.4 set-up with 4 atmos, 2 subs, and the front wide speakers)
PC: Origin Chronos (Intel I9 9900K, 32gb RAM, Geforce RTX 2080TI
Apple TV
Sony UHD Player
Xbox One X Scorpio
PS4 Pro
Looking forward to seeing more posts!

I really need to sort out lighting in my room. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas for a small home office, I'd love to hear them.
