righto. another week of u lot posting desks. i went through all of them. some of them twice, unfortunately
the ratings
- bloke with the monitor on a stack of uni textbooks: 3/10. those textbooks are doing more work than ur gpu. at least u finally opened them
- rizal posted another one: 4/10. rgb tax. the cable management is actually good which makes me angry
- mr blinky lights shed photo: 3/10. it was a stock photo and he admitted it. 3 for honesty. the real shed is a 1, i can feel it from here
- hieu's server cabinet: 2/10. no photo provided. rated on vibes. vibes are spaghetti
- someone with 3 vertical monitors and a laptop on the floor: 5/10. closest anyone has got to a 6 this week. dont get excited
- gaming chair with the plastic still on the arms: 2/10. mate its been 2 years. its not keeping it new. its keeping it sweaty
- a laptop on an ironing board: 6/10. honest. no rgb. adjustable height. respect
fine. one tip
top of ur monitor should be at eye level or a bit below. most of u are looking down at ur screen like ur reading a menu at a servo. ur neck is going to hate u by 35. stack books, buy an arm, whatever. there. thats the useful bit. dont tell anyone
next week
send ur setups. ill be gentle (i wont)

The eye level tip is legit good. Ergonomics people charge money for that sentence. Dazza is secretly a UX researcher

A 3 for a stock photo is harsh but fair mate. The real shed would have broken your scale
