First thing's first is getting that hanging cable away and that book off the table. Removing junk off the desk makes a huge difference and makes your setup look cleaner. Since I dont know your situation Im predicting that you don't want to buy new peripherals but here's what you can do. Starting with the desk itselt get a table hole cover to cover that ugly hole in the table. You did a good job drilling a hole for the cable but you should cover it using one of these you dont have to buy this exact one, just go to any hardware store and 1 of this would cost a buck. Next if your monitor is Vesa compatible you could drill a monitor mount to the wall and install your monitor on it which will empty more space on your desk and make it look cleaner. Lastly you should personalize your setup a bit, maybe putting a fake plant, posters, LED lighting, whatever you find good to make your setup look personalized. Good luck and I hope to see a better version of your setup soon.
So accent lighting. Which I meant lighting behind the monitor, and I’d look into this as another. Between that, and perhaps a lamp lighting your keyboard, it’ll transform your setup
I believe this is the Desk you are looking for. I look forward to seeing what you do with your set up!
nice chair.
but if you're looking for an actual chair, here's a cheap one I found: https://www.amazon.com/High-Back-Chair-Office-Ergonomic-Executive/dp/B07KJYY9BD/ref=sr\_1\_52?crid=4N3VHFLZ0WV&dchild=1&keywords=high+back+office+chair&qid=1627469645&sprefix=high+back+off%2Caps%2C210&sr=8-52
Well if "clean" is what you are going for I wouldn't add anything. I'm a big believer in trying to have only the necessities to avoid a cluttered look.
That being said if you really want to add something helpful you might want a mouse bungie so you always have slack on your mouse cord. Or if you simply want something decorative you could add a small plant or something similar.
they're Sylvania bluetooth light strips. I would have loved to go with Philips hue or some other wifi strip but I found that wifi accessories don't work with apple HomeKit (due to some firewall or something with EDUROAM internet connections at college) and so the only way to change the lights was bluetooth accessories. Bulbs are also Sylvania as they're one of the only companies I've found with bluetooth options. They aren't terrible however bluetooth latency is noticeably slower than wifi latency, although you learn to live with it after a while. None of the stuff has failed or anything like that.
Here are links if you'd like to check it out! :)
Get a monitor arm (here's an example https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Monitor-Adjustable-Screens-STAND-V002/dp/B009S750LA/ref=sr_1_3?crid=38GI9HK2DNVCN&dchild=1&keywords=double+monitor+arm+mount&qid=1611239790&s=electronics&sprefix=double+monitor+arm%2Celectronics%2C217&sr=1-3) and if possible, get monitors with smaller bezils. Other than that, pretty sick setup!

Its this one and thanks!!! This one is actually the razer Mamba and its my 2nd one lol
no problem! here’s the link to the keycap set if you’re interested
This is the one, it’s currently unavailable in the UK but you can find variants of it very easily on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Y1TNLYQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabt1_oBWTFb4DYS6V8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I believe these are the ones <-- (hyperlink)
Honestly best led lights ive ever used, super bright and has the option to change the color of individual parts of the light strip.
the laptop's really good but it's a little expensive, you can use this for the heat [but it never gets hot, only when playing high graphic games] and it makes little to no noise when its on!
Razer makes white mice, however they are often wired, due to most gamers wanting the fastest response times possible.
Razer does make the Razer Atheris which may be a good option.
Alternatively, if you won’t mind going logitech, check out the Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED :)
I’ll link it below, it’s very well made and easy to hang with just two nails. My set up is quite neat and tidy so felt like it needed a bit of abstract and it fit the bill!

Found it while looking for a new xxl mouse pad. Thats the link
ACER Nitro QG271 is the monitor and the mount is a simple triple monitor mount for the desk i got this one
https://www.amazon.com/Acer-XR382CQK-bmijqphuzx-Response-Technology/dp/B075LQLJ52
It’s an Acer 38 inch ultra wide. I couldnt work without it. It’s amazing!
As for gaming, I do a little bit, but not a whole lot. Sometimes I’ll play new world using cloud gaming, I keep trying to get into wow but get bored and mmo options are limited on Mac. If elder scrolls online could fix controller support on the m1 macs I’d play that but until then it’s pretty much just used for work
Ethernet: Buy an ethernet hub, something like this but you can go even cheaper if you want. As long as it looks like that and it is advertised as supporting the speeds your ethernet normally runs at, it will be fine.
​
With the monitors I would either suggest a singular HDMI splitter that has at least 2 in 2 out like this. Any other configuration seems needlessly complex
I'm an engineering student, and use the following, combinded with a 24" screen, and that works really well.

The desk was surprisingly not too difficult to set up, especially if you have another person helping you out.
I would start by getting this Cord Management Organizer Kit 4... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09478CKG2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
This kit has everything you could need to hide / manage all your cables, I would give it a go

idk what the price point on the other two is but just picked these up and are incredible for the low price
I was looking at this one/ it’s on uk browsing so not sure if it will show you
3D printed wall art would look great+ the fact u got a nice pillar it would look great.
this is just an exemple, but will probably look great.
also u got a rly low source of light from floor idk if it was ur choice but u could definitly add something
Edifier r1280db Speakers
I was actually blown away at them for only being $130usd. The quality is great from bass to mids and even highs without getting pingy. Amazing for the money.
Vivo Dual Monitor arm
Got these of of Amazon, I’m sure if you dig a little deeper you can find a cheaper option but this is what I got:
Mount-It! Speaker Wall Mounts,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MZE0O8U?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
try this on ur wall or something like this https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07B9TNXGF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
also maybe u could hide the cable on ur right taping it under ur table then go out on the wall right side and moving out ur headphone stand to the right , it will make totaly deseaper ur cable.
considering u have a good corner angle u could do Something cool with that
Got it off amazon for super cheap. There the Kurin HQ Sound Proof Hexagons. There currently not in stock but you can find some alternatives there too. https://us.amazon.com/HQ-Acoustic-Beveled-Density-Hexagon/dp/B08RP7S5DJ
Gotcha.
You have plenty of space for speaker stands.
Just gotta get them up to ear height.
First off, sick setup you have there! And tbh to make it more cooler you can add some led lights below the table and maybe even Nanoleaf sticks to make it glowy. Here the nanoleaf sticker: https://www.amazon.sa/-/en/Nanoleaf-Lines-Multicolor-Starter-Kit/dp/B09MS3B5L7/ref=sr\_1\_7?crid=QEM94CI60D6K&keywords=nanoleaf+light+stick&qid=1657020073&sprefix=nanoleaf+light+stvik%2Caps%2C132&sr=8-7
something like this if your monitor has vesa mounting capabilities, doesn't have to be this one this is just for reference
I don’t know it off the top of my head but it’s a Viewsonic VX3418 here’s the link
For your Desktop, if the GPU card has DisplayPort video output, then you can plug an active DP-to-HDMI converter adapter on the DP video output port of it to provide the second HDMI video output.
For your laptop, if it has and USB-A port on it, you can use an USB-to-HDMI DisplayLink converter to add second HDMI output.
I don't think the cover really does anything to improve your back. Its just a cover.
I've looked around quite a bit for the same thing for my 40" ultrawide so I could vertical stack it over a 49" super ultrawide. Best I could find is this:
I don't know how it would work with a TV over a monitor, but options are pretty limited for that height.

Au revoir et a plus,
Really good monitor - tho I'm not sure that this is the right version of it because Amazon is different for every country
The one I bought is great (I have the non curved 27' qhd version)

Thanks! The monitor stand is this kind of cheap one I found on amazon Link: VIVO STAND
Really clean looking set up!
Couple of things to answer your question. First off, it's free, you have one area which is really cluttered (between your monitor and PC) and a load of blank space on the right. Use that space!
Second, a nice cheap improvement in lower lighting would be to add something like a USB Neon Light. For example, this is a really cheap and cheerful one I found on amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cisteen-Powered-Battery-Decoration-Hanging/dp/B092S1VFNG/
​
Hope this helps, love the setup man!
There aren’t really any good triple monitor mounts which are the right size, so I went with a double (for the left and middle) and single (for the right) monitor arm, both from bontec.

This is a nice light for 6$, u can even take Alexa-powered lights on amazon.
That's a good idea. I thought you meant this Which is cool but the wires are annoying
This is the updated setup from my previous one. Improved cable management and made things look better here and there.
I was planning to buy a monitor arm something like this but to attatch it I will have to drill a hole on my desk. I was also planning for a extended mouse pad but since I also study on this desk... I dont think that i would like to keep my books on a mouse pad. Do you guys have any suggestions to improve this any further?
Also for those who are curious, here are the peripherals I use-
