Desktop 2021

Desktop Setup

I’m starting the new year with a desktop post. I like my current setup with a PC and Macbook Pro (company laptop) sharing 1 monitor. My wife won’t let me have multiple monitors – IDK why though. I’ve also carpentered this wooden frame that carries this entire setup – it’s made out of 2×2 palochina wood, and it’s hard to cut BTW. In any case here’s the setup equipment list and current price in lazada (where I got most of them) as of date of posting. Here’s the link of the PC parts too.
