Ask HN: What’s Your Desk Setup

5 points by nodivbyzero 3y ago

Hello HN, I’m in the process of building my desk for work from home. I’d like to hear/see any recommendations on your dream desk setup. Where did you buy your desk? How about cable management? Lights, pads, chargers, keyboard, etc…

Maybe not really a rec you're looking for, but I had this desk until I had to move a couple months ago, and it was definitely the best desk I have ever owned: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/utespelare-gaming-desk-light-gray-40507629/#content https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/utespelare-gaming-desk-light-gr...

> How about cable management? Not an issue for me, apart from tangling, which can get annoying. Not sharing my setup on Reddit or 'rate my setup' forums because my cables are always messy and I'm not changing my ways.

I think I used to plug the phone charger into the monitor but I don't remember why I stopped.
