Spent way too much time tweaking monitor positioning, component spacing, desktop audio stability, and accessory upgrades to get everything feeling as balanced as I can. Not to mention the need for constant hardware upgrades, haha. I use the setup for an equal mix of gaming, office work when I am able to work from home, and music. There's a Denon AVR and Kanto SUB8 subwoofer under the desk, which took forever to set up correctly (Windows does not love working with real AVRs).
Many of my components were acquired over time (and well before the RAM and memory price jumps, thankfully. I was lucky). I'll never stop working on it, but I think it's at a good place right now. If you have any advice, I'd love to hear it!
