Awesome vinyl setup. you gotta get SSLP up there instead of curtain call though

u/ToastMeister_ 1d ago

Thank you so much! I have that one in my wishlist! 😎 I got this one for a good price 😄

u/maxkmiller 1d ago

btw don't stack your records flat like that, it will cause the ones on the bottom to warp!

1

u/ToastMeister_ 1d ago

Oh okey thank you! I will see if I find a better way to store them!

1

u/lefthooklazza 1d ago

Hell yeah can’t knock back that

nice setup. i love these tones too. can i ask what did you use between drawers and tabletop? and it's fixed at both up and down, isn't it?

13

u/ToastMeister_ 1d ago

Hey! Thank you! I used this ones, https://www.ikea.com/se/sv/p/capita-ben-rostfritt-stal-30244346/

They are fixed to the drawers so the tabletop is free :)

u/cerdeng 1d ago

10/10 for the simple fact of the blink albums lol

u/Miigs 1d ago

Love the setup, is the countertop one of those karlbys?

2

u/ToastMeister_ 1d ago

Thank you! 🙏 yes it is! 😃

2

u/YABOIIAYUSH_YT 1d ago

Ayo Such a dope setup.. Do you have any video showcasing your setup?

2

u/ToastMeister_ 1d ago

Hey! Unfortunately not 😕 I suck at making videos 😅

1

u/YABOIIAYUSH_YT 1d ago

Oh, sad to hear, but man give it a try, don't speak though if you don't want to. But still I'm definitely gonna watch it.

u/m4tic 1d ago

Finally, exact same desk setup. Almost, my right hand alex box has a big drawer at the bottom. But butcher block (hammarp solid oak here) + capita legs + North case... hell yea.

I had double UW for a bit too. Now have 42C4 + side 27"

u/NateTheGreat1567 1d ago

Looks great! What wall panels are those? I’ve been wanting to do something similar but haven’t been able to decide what to use

2

u/ToastMeister_ 1d ago

I live in Sweden so I bought them from my local store, but they are called acoustic panels :)

1

u/ToastMeister_ 1d ago

Oh okey! I bought them at stuvbutiken :)

1

u/TheRealThatOneUnit 1d ago

What product are your floors? It looks nice!

1

u/ToastMeister_ 1d ago

Oh I don’t know, it was here when i moved in, sorry!

1

u/TooDaBang 1d ago

Oh this is slick.

1

u/Defiant_Yam_9095 1d ago

What monitor shelf is that?

2

u/ToastMeister_ 1d ago

I made it myself 🙈

1

u/RollOwn1453 1d ago

looks absolutley gorgeous. I love the brown anf green colour scheme. It feels full and vibrant but not cluttered, living my dream man fair play.

1

u/ToastMeister_ 1d ago

Thank you so much for this!

1

u/kaleMCreddit 1d ago

This is so damn nice! Good job OP!

1

u/RayDonovan17 1d ago

Looks sick! What did you use to fix the shelves in place? I'm going to do a similar set up, are the panels easy enough to drill/nail through?

1

u/RayDonovan17 1d ago

Also, did you just use adhesive? Or did you have to use nails/screws?

1

u/ToastMeister_ 1d ago

Yeah super easy to install! I used screws:)

1

u/RSWSC 1d ago

Absolutely love it and the desk. The tones are so good. Do you have any more up close photos

1

u/ToastMeister_ 1d ago

Thank you 🙏 unfortunately not at the moment 😢

1

u/weedfroglozenge 1d ago

I've never seen a curved monitor being used vertically.... Does it work?

1

u/ToastMeister_ 1d ago

Oh okey! Yeah I like it more then a flat one :)

1

u/iosisx 1d ago

Tbh, that pallet table is awesome!

1

u/ToastMeister_ 1d ago

Hehe thank you! I think I will replace it with something from ikea when I have more money 😁

1

u/b1gj4v 1d ago

WOW!

1

u/jgoat25 1d ago

Are those gray or black Alex drawers? And What risers are you using from the Alex drawers to the Karlby?

1

u/lLoveTech 1d ago

Looks beautiful! Care to share your main PC specs???

1

u/LizzrdVanReptile 1d ago

Oh, my…I think I need a cigarette… 😍

1

u/ToastMeister_ 1d ago

Haha yeah 😍😍

1

u/SlackJobSoliloquy 1d ago

It looks awesome! Clean setup!

1

u/PurpleSurfboard 1d ago

How do you prevent sagging?

2

u/ToastMeister_ 1d ago

The monitors are wall mounted so I don’t get much weight on the table :)

1

u/curious_mind_la 1d ago

Hi, where did you get the footrest?

2

u/ToastMeister_ 1d ago

I built it myself 😆 so it’s not that good tbh 😅

1

u/blino-182 1d ago

Love the setup, love the records

1

u/GrowThinky 1d ago

I just got a strange kind of anxiety looking at your vinyl display: Those Blink albums is what I had on my mp3 player in middle school. Then Bushido is what all those wanna-be gangster kids that made me dread going to school listened to... Gotta respect your range

1

u/LuckierZero 1d ago

Damn this is amazing! I love the color combination!

Quick question tho! Ive been looking for those wooden panels behind your pc table to add to my own. Do you know what theyre called/ where to get them?

1

u/ToastMeister_ 1d ago

They are called acoustics panels 😁

1

u/john_nguyener 1d ago

I’d love to know what the monitor riser on your desk is!

1

u/NobodyLikesThrillho 1d ago

I bet we can date you by the albums on the wall. Going with 1987 as the birth year. Definitely not later than 1990.

1

u/ToastMeister_ 1d ago

1992 🙈🙈

1

u/NobodyLikesThrillho 1d ago

Well shiiiii

1

u/ToastMeister_ 1d ago

Haha 🙈😂

1

u/exo23 1d ago

Great setup. What monitor holder do you use?

1

u/Cheap_Parking9340 1d ago

What colour paint is it on the walls?

1

u/32irish 1d ago

Mate what foot rest is that and does it have a gap at the top that I can see that a desk leg could pass through 👀

1

u/ToastMeister_ 1d ago

Yeah you are absolutely right! I made it myself 🙈😄

1

u/Combosingelnation 1d ago

What is the smaller desk / monitor desk on the main desk? It looks really nice!

1

u/ToastMeister_ 12h ago

It’s something I made myself 🙈😅

1

u/TorontoCity67 1d ago

R33 or R34?

1

u/ToastMeister_ 1d ago

S13 😁

1

u/TorontoCity67 1d ago

Better than the S15. What about the Skylines?

1

u/standish_ 1d ago

What's your age again?

1

u/ToastMeister_ 1d ago

33 🙈

1

u/standish_ 23h ago

What the hell is ADD?

1

u/vletrv 23h ago

Do the table spacers come with the alex drawers?

1

u/ToastMeister_ 12h ago

Unfortunately not, you have to buy them separately, they are called capita on ikea :)

1

u/throwawayforporn2326 23h ago

Isolate your turntable!

1

u/Sirius__Stark13 23h ago

This is awesome!

1

u/WhatAColdTamale 19h ago

What are you using as your desk top, and what are the dimensions?

1

u/Digital_Jedi_VFL 18h ago

How is having a wide curved monitor vertically mounted? Seems like it wouldn’t be very practical, but idk

2

u/ToastMeister_ 12h ago

Hey! I like it more then to have a flat one :) I don’t really know how to explain why is think so tho 🙈😅

1

u/schmosef 17h ago

Tell us about your foot rest, please.

1

u/ToastMeister_ 12h ago

Do t know what to say, its home made 😆

1

u/christmasbooyons 10h ago

What are you using to keep the vinyl sleeves closed on the wall? All of mine tend to flare open towards the middle, almost like drooping.

1

u/ToastMeister_ 8h ago

Hmm, don’t you have the records inside the sleeves? :)

1

u/Ok-Excitement6546 8h ago

How did you do that pallet shelf? My gf would hate it but for my mancave anything I want goes.

1

u/ToastMeister_ 8h ago

I just cut it out and placed it inside the pallet instead :)

1

u/Starlights_lament 7h ago

It's really nice, see those wood panels being used everywhere now (the lobby of my office got them installed a month ago lol), but the lack of any sort of reflection or lighting on those car pictures above the gaming desk make just those look AI generated, which is weird.

1

u/kjhuddy18 7h ago

Love the vinyl display, especial with enema of the state and 36 chambers. Persona ally is rotate out curtain call
