ITT: We weigh the pros and cons of a floating setup

Not much table space to put all your stuff that you usually have around the keyboard

>>61624071
cons: you look like a faggot
pros: you can now get out of the closet

>>61624071
That looks comfy as fuck.

>>61624071

It can get cluttered easily and you are too comfy to get any serious amount of work done. That said the only other problem is moving a heavy ass recliner out of the way for stand up VR

>>61624071
Pros: none

>>61624309
>12 hours

Bitch would be lucky with 12 min.

I never cease to be surprised at how ingrained it is that to use a computer you MUST sit at a desk. I do see from time to time couch setups but never any floating ones

there are a lot of them.

It would be nice to have the power of my desktop PC in my lap while I chill on the couch.

>>61624071
So when they have to turn on the pc, they have to go behind the couch and then turn back to sit there.

Fyi, for anyone wanting a monitor arm for any screen over 24" I suggest looking for Amazon basics it was the only one I found made for my 30" that was long enough to swing in front of my recliner besides a $300 ergotron. It was $150, downside is that you cannot fix the height it sits at that much, it has to be attached at roughly the monitor's level

Looks like an IBM spacesaver to me. If you want a modern version of that check out the Tex Yoda II, it's crazy expensive though.

You don't have power on via keyboard press enabled in bios?

IBM RT3200. Its rubberdome, but it is one of the only 2 TKL keyboards with a trackpoint (the other one is pretty much identical, but has the back/forward keys near the arrows like a thinkpad.) The Tex Yoda that the other anon mentioned is a 60% memeboard.

>>61626287
>Tex Yoda II
Far too edgy for me.

>>61626344
Looks comfy, thanks.

>>61626471
If you are going to get one, make sure it either comes with a trackpoint nub or the nubless stick does not have a circle in it. If it has the circle, its missing a tiny impossible to find piece that goes between the nub and the stick.

>>61626125
i-is that an aerosol can of pringles?

>>61626939
No, its a monster can half filled with pistachio shells shoved into a pringles can.

>>61626964

i'm not going to ask any more questions.

>>61624071
any more pics of her feet?

>>61625313
there is a lot of them*

>>61627051
There isnt anything weird there though. Sometimes you finish a monster and then a can of pringles and wonder if the can will fit in it. Then you get some pistachios and need something to spit shells into, so you use the monster can because it is resealable so it wont smell or cause a mess if tipped over.

Multiple monitors you say?

Higher Gravitational Potential increases the risk of your screen and keyboard collapsing into a black hole due to random quantum effects. Gets canceled if you'd otherwise put your entire PC on your desk

Just get vr tools from github and set your height offset up to about 1.5 and play sitting down.
You can rotate the play area when needed.

thank me later

>>61624604
You are too young but when you grow up and get a job you can afford a nice table to have your computer on. And you can enjoy a beer or a glass of whiskey and have a stack of snus within reach. Quality of worklife is good in the setting I have. My SETUP>yours.

What is the best desk setup to prevent spine/back and other similar health issues?

Is pic related a meme? It costs 5k. Are there other viable alternatives?

It's flawed because your mouse will slide down if you let go of it.
Trackball would work but not many are using them obviously.
Also I'd be always on edge thinking of the monitors falling on me.
You need to be able to shift around and not to be in a static prime brainwashing position such as your image.

You can let the mouse dangle slightly at a comfortable level and then just move your hand slightly upwards to recover it

It's a minor inconvenience which could be solved with a glued trackpad or some other solution

>mfw anons think this is a deal breaker and would prefer to destroy their back and spine

So this is what it's like to be autistic

>>61631496
Yeah, you obviously have to move from time to time, my post was asking whether this is the best solution for your back.

Some numb hands are better than crippling your back and spine

>>61624175

If I could find a way to get a stable surface over my recliner, I would do all my computing in it in front of my 42" TV/monitor.

how do you get in and out of chair?

>>61629488
>pays $10k for a ridiculous motorized recliner
>can't afford to replace his multiple monitors with a big single screen

>>61632626
Actually I've been thinking about putting my recliner and my 'desk' on rollers to do just that so I can easily switch between stand up and sitting VR. I already put my wheel on rollers

>>61633180
god that neck posture.

>>61631407
Just pick your chair well for your back then mount a long enough monitor and keyboard arm and you can do it for a tenth of that cost easily

>>61624071
I think her feet are beautiful. I would love to lick them for hours.
