Nice and clean, I really like the wood finishes on desks.
Thanks! Those are birchwood butcher block countertops (bought from Home Depot). I cut them to size (including the one by the window lengthwise to be slimmer), sanded, stained, and finished them, then attached some legs and risers I bought from various places on the web. Pretty hefty which keeps shaking/vibrations to a minimum. 👌
Have that same case but decided to go without the plexiglass. It’s got to be one of my favorite cases out of any of my previous builds.
Just realized your username is HiddenRetro and I’m Retro. I have the side window and you don’t. 😂

Could you give some more info about your monitor?
Sure! It’s a pretty middle of the line budget ultrawide: Nixeus EDG 34" (Bought back in 2019 - I’d probably go QD-OLED these days, although I’ll wait and see how burn-in goes for folks who bought some of these first gen monitors). The Nixeus is great for the price, but I do notice some color striping at its highest refresh rate (144Hz), so I run it at 120Hz instead.
I installed a monitor arm for it, but it looks like the specific one I bought is no longer available: HUANUO Single Arm Monitor Stand
What do the two cables just above your mouse do?
They’re wireless receivers, one for my mouse and one for my wireless modmic.
Both would probably work okay hidden out of sight, but I had issues with the mic (that turned out to be a part of a recall, so not a problem anymore) so I’ve had the dongle out here for a while, and it is nice to be able to visually see if I’m hardware muted. The mouse is similar - nice to be able to unplug the dongle and have a wired mouse temporarily to charge it.
