Nice build man, I personally think you should try and hide those cables on the right near your Macbook pro under the desk other than that it looks good. And mute some of those servers and check your dms on discord lol.

[@warmachine5835]

10:00 I can't second this enough. Going from dual monitors on my desk to mounting them on an arm that clamps on gave me so much desk real estate back. I can't recommend it enough. It's probably one of the single largest QOL improvements I've made.

[@jolness1]

On the CRT: I like the way they respond vs even fast LCDs. I held onto a CRT for quite awhile because I had something that was reference type color accurate and less smearing than LCDs of the time. They have gotten so good now that I don't know if it would have any benefit but some games (Like super smash melee for gamecube) suck on modern screens unless running in emulation.

the microphone at 6:02 is not an sm7b, it is the mv7 I think.

[@tycorrell5390]

The first one features a Planck keyboard (40% ortholinear), same one I've got. It can be more practical than a standard layout (after training), as you don't have to move your hand position minimalizing finger travel and keys are accessible through some nifty shortcuts you can set to your liking with extreme customization. Popular among programmers, but it isn't for everyone with the learning curve. The efficiency is worth the retraining, but even just trying it can fix some horrendous typing habits you may have not been aware of.

[@vladyarotsky5287]

That SMEG build at 0:18 is pretty intriguing. It's a putty it was somewhat ignored in the following video.

That is way too much. Unless you are building with all the best components out there making no compremises I can't see how you could go above $10,000 even for a near perfect setup. Also consider buiying used sometimes, it really makes a ton of differenece on some components that you can get for half the price in new condition.

6:00 that's not an SM7b. that would be Shure's newest mic which is the Shure MV7 which is kind of like a little brother to the SM7b. It's a usb/xlr mic so it can be plugged in directly to your pc or via a preamp.

Planck is a nice little beginner step, either that or find a Minivan on r/mechmarket as they won't kill your bank account and they give you the 40s experience without too much compromising.
