Building my own office furniture | Forum

Still building furniture for the home office (which is currently a mess as a result).  But I'm on the last piece, a window seat (not pictured).  It's nice to have stuff designed to fit the space I need.

 

Workstation under the desk on the far left is a Threadripper 3960X with 256G of RAM, 5 NVMe drives and 10G ethernet.  Custom loop (CPU and old 2080ti GPU).  It's my Linux dev machine.  There's a Mac Studio with 128G of RAM that's my primary desktop, tucked under the right side of the over bridge of the left desk.  Audio gear for conferencing and a drawer racked in the shelves on top of the desks, headsets hung in the bottom nook.  Under-desk rack has two ethernet switches connected to each other with a pair of 10G fiber connections (LACP).  One of those switches has a pair of 10G fiber connections to the main switch in basement.  Under-desk rack also has a PDU with pull-out lights, a CloudPlate for front air intake and a big old UPS that just won't die (batteries replaced roughly every 3 years).  Patch panels front and rear let me keep the front cabling tidy.  There's an exhaust fan panel in the rear.

 

I built all of the furniture.  Wood is oak, desk feet are Delrin, desk inserts are porcelain slabs (near impossible to scratch, PEI 5).

 

The under-desk rack is one of the more challenging things I've designed, since there was conflict between aesthetics versus function and strength.  I think it turned out well.  The leap was 'the front door is a box', which allowed me a lot of ventilation.  It stays cool but the fans are near silent.  It can easily be rolled out to gain some work space. It's only rolled out about half way in the picture.

Your setup sounds like a meticulously crafted workspace! It's impressive how you've tailored everything to your needs, down to the last detail like the custom-built furniture and the carefully chosen tech specs. And it's great to hear that you're almost done with the window seat, adding both functionality and comfort to your office.


Speaking of meticulous attention, when it comes to maintaining a well-equipped workspace, ensuring your environment is secure and resilient is crucial. With all those valuable gadgets and equipment, I hope you've also considered safeguarding against potential hazards. One aspect often overlooked is basement waterproofing. Especially in areas like Annapolis, where moisture and humidity levels can fluctuate, protecting your basement from water damage is essential to preserving your infrastructure investments and maintaining a conducive workspace.


Investing in basement waterproofing not only shields your tech gear from potential water damage but also safeguards the structural integrity of your entire home. It's like adding an extra layer of protection to your already well-thought-out setup, ensuring that your workspace remains reliable and resilient for years to come.


It seems you've thought of everything else down to the finest detail, so why not add basement waterproofing to your checklist to complete the ensemble?
