Hello! Tell us a bit about yourself

My name is James, and I have always wanted to create a space to enjoy my hobbies.

I recently moved house with my partner, and I realised this was the perfect opportunity to use a blank canvas and create something of my own.

Historically, I haven’t had the full opportunity to create a space entirely for myself, and due to this, I put many hours into the design, sourcing of equipment, and researching every last detail to ensure things met my needs.

With my job as a manager in a global logistics company, I regularly work from home, and so my setup needed to meet both my work and home requirements.

Although my budget was healthy, it wasn’t unlimited, and so I needed to create a space which brought both worlds into harmony with as little compromise as possible.

The goal was to try and combine a way to connect a work laptop alongside a triple-screen setup for my sim-rig.

With all of this in mind, I aimed for a modern and clean setup.

Take us through your setup

I would say the biggest feature of my setup is that I can connect my work laptop to my screens whilst also having the ability to move my racing simulator to my desk for an immersive experience.

Doing all of this while using one set of peripherals and keeping cables as tidy as possible was the main challenge.
