If you had any idea just how awkward it was to get the monitors on and aligned, you'd understand why lol

 

[MadassRubberduck]

Right one is higher than the left one, it's very triggering

That's because I'm lazy and just exported my parts list from PCPartPicker

This is student accommodation, there isn't much room, that's simply an easily accessible spot to keep it.

Please for the love of god clean those screens! Otherwise nice setup though, I like it. I know what accommodation can be like so you've done well to find the space.
How do you find your accommodation internet speeds?

I didn't have the capacity to clean screens after assembling the stand with conflicting instructions, I did clean them after though.

100 symmetrical is what I get in my accommodation, had 100/6 at home.

 

[Charlie Fox]

Nice! That's fast. I also like that your screens match, I always feel like such a hobo with mis-matching monitors because I just use what I have lying around.

 

[DeaanL]

What do you do with 13TB of storage?
