Home Office & Network Setup

Started with one monitor, then went to two to try it out and could never go back. Then I made enough room for a third and love it. The small monitor is also hooked up to the Media Server along with the 2nd mouse and the keyboard in the tray.
The PC is custom built, from an old case and all new parts.

Monitor(s)/Display(s):

19″ LG E1911
23″ LG E2360
23″ Acer X233h

Computer(s):

Old case with new Asus P8Z77-V LE Plus Motherboard, Intel Core i5-3570, 16GB G.Skill DDR3, MSI GTX 460 1GB video, extra fans and controller.
Also an old PC as a Media Server below the desk

Furniture:

Home-built corner desk with keyboard tray

Accessories:

CyberAcoustics 5.1 Stereo
Logitech gaming keyboard and track-ball mice
HP printer.
Not pictured but very important: DLink 2-Bay NAS, QNAP 4-Bay NAS, Modem, Asus RT-N56U Router, Trendnet Switch, Trendnet Network USB Hub, Trendnet Powerline Ethernet Device, and APC Battery Backups.
The other corner of this office has another L-desk, with MSI netbook and an old IBM xSeries Server on a 19″ monitor.

Stark Lab v1 (Systems Architect Mood-Lit Home Office)

I’m a cloud infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) systems architect and cloud software engineer (Bash, PHP, MySQL) and work from home full time.
I manage a datacenter private cloud and use the two Apple displays for productivity and RDP tasks and the two HP vertical monitors for NOC graphs and alerts.
Hope you enjoy and find inspiration for your own setup.
