Using a janky setup for a month to see what you REALLY need and want is the pro move here. Lots of times I've made a setup with what I THINK I want, not what I actually need. One suggestion: replace those casters with rollerblade style casters. It was a game changer for my office chair
However much I hate letting myself use temporary setups to get a feel for things, it really is a good move. I just don’t want to raise the center of gravity any. Worth a try most likely though.
I had considered that and may still do it. Just couldn’t devote the design time at this moment. My first thought was like a keyboard tray they both sit on. May still doable.
That under shelf mount with the lower db is definitely a happy little accident 😅. And I really dig the design process for your "antenna" extensions, keeping an upgrade in mind isn't something I'd have honestly thought about.
Got to love pleasant surprises. And I try my best to think of not just the needs I have right now, but possible expansions in the future. You learn the hard way enough times and you start to think that way, ha.
@@MandicReally aside from upgradeability i'm really amazed that mac mini might be a viable choice here (32/256 + ext. SSD will cost about the same $1100) so, did you upgrade it to 64GB? was it worth it? UPD: i eat too loud so i really appreciate hand-made subtitles
With 256GB of storage. This video alone was 600GB of video files. Upgrading the Mac Mini to even just 1TB of storage (not enough) it becomes the same price as the GEEKOM. Upping it to the max 32GB of RAM & 2TB of storage, along with the 10Gb Ethernet, brings it to $1899. Almost double the price of the GT1. The Mac Mini ONLY makes sense as a thin client. Don’t get me wrong, it is a really tempting idea for me, but the moment you upgrade anything on the base configuration the value is totally gone. And that doesn’t touch on the fact that you are completely locked into that configuration forever.

Perhaps a drawer like setup for the hdmi switched, even if it brought it out 2 inches it would help. Great video as usual buddy.

Awesome Video!!!.
What zip ties are you using? Was the workbench Butcher block expensive? if not too bad do you mind sharing where you go it.

I thought it was a Mac Mini, from the thumbnail
Basically a Windows equivalent really. Just more affordable for upgrades, by a long shot. ha

Entry level mac mini m4 is less than $600. Just saying.
