Furniture & Decoration
Fohfurniture Standing Desk Frame + IKEA MITTCIRKEL board
140xm x 60cm countertop with programmable height presets. Game changer for long coding sessions.
ASUS Rog Chariot X Core Gaming Chair
Sturdy, fully loaded. It has good premium features that I never experienced in a regular chair, but I have to admit that it isn't the most confortable chair that I've sit on. I haven't change it bc it was hella expensive and somehow it helps to remind me to use the standing desk lol
IKEA ALEX Drawer Unit
Classic black drawer unit for storing cables, notebooks, spare LEGO pieces, and random tech.
Mind Reader ergonomic footrest
Great for long coding sessions while you are sitting.
IKEA SKÅDIS + Accessories
Beautiful pegboard to display gear and accessories. It also helps extending storage for little pieces and frequently used gadgets.
IKEA LACK wall shelves
Nice shelves tha I use to display some figures & lego sets.
Lamicall Headphone Stand
Nice and minimalistic headphone stand. It just looks good.
Computers
Mac Mini M4 2024
24GB RAM, 512GB SSD. Desktop powerhouse for heavy workloads.
MacBook Pro 16" M1 Pro 2021
16GB RAM, 512GB SSD. Secondary machine for dual PC streaming & development while I'm traveling or working outside. The battery life and speakers are unreal.
Custom PC Build
Intel Core i7 13700, RTX 4060 Ti, 32GB RAM DDR5. For gaming.
Desk & Display
LG 34GL750-B UltraGear 34" UltraWide
Primary and only monitor. I really love it for gaming, no ghosting and fast response time. I don't care that much for little details so it's fine for the rest of my activities
Oakywood Desk Shelf
Creates additional storage underneath & improve aesthetics. I really recommend this brand because it's made out of real wood
UGREEN 360° Rotating Laptop Stand Holder
Adjustable rotating base. Perfect when I connect any laptop to my monitor, or doing dual PC streaming.
Peripherals
NuPhy Air75
Low-profile Blue switches. Wireless with macOS & Windows support.
Logitech MX Master 3S
Best mouse for ergonomics. The horizontal scroll wheel is essential.
Blue Yeti, Yeticaster Bundle
Perfect bundle for your setup. Intended for streaming and video recording, and ended up to sound fancy on my standup meetings.
Blue Snowball iCE
Bought this for dual PC streaming to have a direct input on game voice chats. Might get another use for content creation.
Audio
Sony WH-1000XM6
Daily drivers for focus time. The noise cancellation is decent and sound quality is the best I've tried so far.
AirPods Pro (1st generation)
For when I'm working outside or any other activity that doesn't involve coding on a desk. The best noise cancellation that I've tried so far. And works perfectly with your apple ecosystem.
Logitech Z150 Stereo Speakers
Desktop speakers for when I don't want headphones. A cheap solution when you don't care much about audio quality with speakers, it just works.
Lighting
Quntis LED ScreenLinear Basic Plus
Monitor light bar. No screen glare, perfect lighting for my desk at night.
Philips Hue Play Bars
Behind the monitors for ambient lighting. Creates a smooth and cozy ambient at night.
Elgato Key Light
Ultra-bright and dimmable light source for when I'm streaming or recording videos.
Miscellaneous
CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt Hub
Single cable docking for my Macbook before I bought the Mac mini. 18 ports, handles everything. Overkill, yes... I was just hyped for the tech enthusiast trends. It ended up as a nice addition for my dual PC streaming + video capture.
AC Infinity MULTIFAN S3
Quiet 120mm USB Fan on top of my Thunderbolt Hub. It is a game changer to handle overheat on long coding sessions.
UGREEN USB 3.0 KVM Switch
Sharing peripherals between 2 computers. A single button click and I switch between my Macbook/Mac Mini (through the thunderbolt dock) and my Gaming PC.
UGREEN HDMI Switch
Before getting a TV this was my go to for having everything connected in the same monitor. PS5, Nintendo Switch, PC, Macbook. I't's still useful for my dual PC streaming though.
CyberPower No-break 1500VA / 900W
Living in Mexico means that you are never safe against a power outage. This heavy device powers up my entire setup and protects me with automatic voltage regulation, voltage spikes & a powerful battery that gives me enough time to safely power off my devices when electricity goes off.
