I live in a household of nerds that have all found each other and now live together like a slightly functional family. A good buddy of ours, got himself an electric desk because he works from home, he has a job that can be done from the computer (he owns the house and probably earns more than you so try not to throw shade just because he's a nerd).

I had no idea electric desks existed. They go up and down by the push of a button so you can stand or sit. Badass. I wanted to get one for my fiance/me since the desk we use is just a shitty folding table. It was so floppy my dumbass lost two keyboards because I let Toddler around the computer with liquids. Any bump would make the whole table shake then you gotta pray to God whatever is on the table doesnt spill. Luckily i found a mechanical keyboard at Goodwill. YouFu brand? never heard of them but at least i have the letter B back. Imagine using "paste" whenever you need to type a B. Ugh.

Anyways, I went the Nextdoor app (Which I stricktly use to interface with the general public in my area to trade/barter/give/get stuff i need to improve the quality of living in the house and sometimes others) and asked if anyone was willing to sell me a electric desk for 50 bucks since a new one was outside of my price range, even the cheap shitty ones. Someone hit me up and sold me one on the cheaper end of the quality spectrum, but its in great shape/ like new condition.

My house (i'm renting a room, sharing a room with my fiance and toddler, its a big room) is starting to turn from a glorified storage unit to an awesome elegant place. I cant wait till I'm done with all my project, the place is finally starting to feel awesome. Very close to becoming a master of the smaller world.

Does anyone else have a standing desk?

If you want to up your game even more, get a treadmill to go under the desk so you can walk while working. Now your sedentary job becomes an exercise that can have you walking 30 or more miles per day. If your job has those fitness challenges where you track number of steps, you win every time.

Yes I have this setup. The trick to NOT getting sore shoulders (from this or ANY computer setup) is to have the monitors be higher up so your eyes are in line with the bottom 1/3 of the monitor. Get monitors raisers (or a stack of phone books) or moutning arms where you can control the position/height of the monitors.

I went to Goodwill a little bit ago and got a wood and metal bread container for the kitchen. It happened to be the perfect height and width to replace the stack of books Fiance was using for the monitor. Even with the lifting desk I decided to use the prop because Fiance/I agree with you, it does help alot!

My roomate doesnt use props, and his monitor is slightly broken and only points down. He could nigger-rig it to have it promote better posture, but doesnt. He's been gaming like this for years and idk how his neck doesnt snap off. He's in good shape though so I'm not going to give him shit about it, whatever works
