Tools
Here are the things I use daily. Last updated: March 22, 2025
Workstation
- Desk: IDÅSEN sit/stand, 160x80 cm
- Chair: JÄRVFJÄLLET - Perfectly fine. I use it without armrests because I like to noodle on guitar.
- Monitors: Samsung 32" 4K, DELL 22", and BENQ 24" - It's the cheapest 4K 32" I could find. It's good for the money. The 32" is in the middle with the other two vertical left and right.
- Monitor arms: 3 x Invision Single Monitor Arms
- Keyboard: Das 4 Professional mechanical
- Mouse: Logitech MX Master 2S Wireless
- Webcam: Logitech C920 1080p - The Logitech C270 720p served me well.
- Speakers: Yamaha HS7 MP Studio Monitors
- Microphone: Shure SM7B
- Microphone preamp: Cloudlifter CL-1 - Adds 25 dB of gain. The SM7B needs a at least 60 dB. The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen only has 56 dB of gain.
- Microphone arm: Rode PSA-1
- Audio Interface: Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen
- Headphones: Sennheiser HD 599
- Deskmat: ZenStatus anti-fatigue
Desktop
- Case: Obsidian Series 750D Airflow Edition Full Tower ATX - This case is enormous. I'm not kidding.
- Motherboard: ASUS Prime Z370-A Intel 1151 ATX - Can't complain. There is still room for upgrades.
- CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K Processor 3.70GHz - 12M Cache, up to 4.70 GHz, 6 cores, 12 threads. It runs fine at 5.0GHz overclocked. I run it at baseline because I prefer a quiet system. It drives my three monitors. The graphics card market has been ridiculous for years so I've yet to get one. Performance is still good.
- Cooler: Corsair H115i RGB Pro Liquid CPU Cooler - As with a lot of hardware on Linux, the control software is not supported, so in order control the pump speed, fan speed, and rgb, you need open source tools. I use OpenCorsairLink to reduce the pump speed at system startup. I like it quiet.
- PSU: Corsair HX Series HX1200 / 1200W 80+ Platinum
- RAM: G.Skill RipjawsV 32 GB 4x8GB DDR4-3200 - I don't even think about memory any more.
- SSD1: 250GB Samsung 960 EVO, M.2 PCIe
- SSD2: 500GB Samsung 970 EVO Plus, M.2 PCIe
- HDD1: 1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM HD
