Hello everyone, first I would like to briefly introduce my current job and where I got the idea to decorate my desk so that it doesn't get boring in my subjective opinion.

Currently, I am working as a freelance photographer, my job mainly revolves around taking photos or recording clips to introduce simple products to post for sale on e-commerce platforms such as Shopee, Tiktok... Basically, the work is usually repetitive, and after taking or recording, I will bring the images to the computer for editing, further post-production to upload and post, so my desk is the place I am in constant contact with every day. That's why I want my desk to inspire me so I don't feel depressed or sad every time I sit down to work. Of course, in a certain sense, it is also a way to increase my productivity.

As the title says, I want to decorate my desk in the style of a gamer (even though I'm not very specialized in gaming), but according to my research and reference on setup groups, it's usually very colorful with RGB lighting, quite eye-catching and bright, quite suitable to my liking.

First, I will talk about the overview of my desk. Personally, I am not a person who likes clutter, so on the desk are mainly just basic things that must be there forever when in use and cannot be stored in a cabinet or hidden anywhere, including: Screen, computer case, speakers, keys, mouse, removable hard drive, common charger for wireless electronic products on the desk and phone, and indispensable things that if Anyone who is an office worker will certainly be familiar with the thermos cup to continuously hydrate themselves.

And now the details about the thing on the pad that I will touch every day, which is the keyboard and mouse set.

For the keys, I use a custom metal frame with a 60% layout to make it easier to move and as neat as possible, but after a while I realized that sometimes the number key is also necessary for me to type in the price when posting a sale, so I had to buy a separate number key just in case. For more detailed details on the keys, I chose Cherry Brown Switch to create the best typing feeling for myself and decorative keycaps that I wander around collecting and buying on mechanical key trading groups on Facebook. Coloring the keycaps is also one of the main factors to create motivation when working that I mentioned at the beginning of the article.

Regarding the mouse, it is also a mouse specialized in gaming, but I find it quite relevant and suitable for fine-tuning images in Photoshop. Thanks to the built-in buttons on the mouse, I can assign it shortcut key combinations to operate faster, avoiding pressing and searching for combinations on the keyboard. It is a mouse from a brand that is also very reputable and familiar to gamers or even office workers who have used it a lot, Logitech, and the mouse code I am using is G903.

In addition, a few other miscellaneous things around include the card reader and Lexar SD memory card, things that cannot be separated from my desk for a second, because they are so small that when I put them away when I need to find them, I don't remember where to put them, so from experience, small things like this just stay on the desk in front of me is best.

Next is the Gravastar Bluetooth speaker set, which has a rather Sci-Fi appearance. I simply chose this product mainly because of its appearance, not because of its sound quality. I just need a set of speakers that is enough to have audible sound every time I need to listen to music or watch movies for entertainment. But normally when working, I prioritize quiet to focus on work, avoiding unnecessary distractions.

Speaking of the Gravastar speaker above, I also shared about something from the same brand that also plays an important role on my desk, which is the Gravastar 65w GaN fast charger. As everyone has seen from the beginning, most of the products I use are wireless, so the charger is indispensable to provide energy for electronic products including the phone I used to take photos for this article... I am quite satisfied with this charger because in addition to its fancy, compact form that helps me get beautiful photos to attract views and likes, its main role is to charge, it does an extremely good job with fast, stable charging time, and does not radiate much heat. Using the original cable that comes with it, it's just a normal black rubber-covered charging cord, so it's a bit boring, so I decorated it with a Rainbow mesh-covered charging cord to make it more prominent and sturdy.

Before going to the final part, sharing about the CPU box, I also briefly introduce the screen I am using, which is from the DELL brand, it is 27 inches in size and is a curved screen, VA panel. It is not a screen that specializes in graphics, but with the basic need to produce simple images or clips just to upload to e-commerce platforms, it has not caused much trouble for me for about 4 to 5 years since purchase. If I have the chance in the future, I will also try to try a wider screen or specialize in more graphics to experience more colors and deeper features needed on a professional screen.

And the last part to share with the main thing that has a lot of RGB lights inside to create the reason for the title of this article, is the computer case, which has also been fighting with me for many years and still works quite well. This is a computer case that I also assembled myself when wandering around, collecting components for liquidation from trading groups specializing in PCs. I use a Cooler Master H500M case that is integrated with 4 14cm Halo ARGB fans and 2 20cm ARGB fans, inside the case is an Asus Maximus Ranger VII mainboard with I7 4790K CPU, 32 GB DDRIII, 2 1TB SSDs, Geforce RTX 4060 VGA, 750W Antec Edge PSU. I don't use a directly plugged network cable, but use the Asus Wireless USB to connect to the internet to simplify the wiring, which is good... And with this old, unfashionable configuration, I can still lightly edit photos with Photoshop, Cava and cut and paste clips simply with Premiere or Capcut, no problem, still doing well.

Ps: At the end of the article, I added a photo of something that is not on the desk but on another desk next to the desk that is also closely related to my work, the EuReKa 35L anti-humidity cabinet, which will be used to store the camera and related electronic accessories, limiting dust, mold and collisions when they are not in use. And it is imperative that this closet is also in my sight so that every time I need to think about an idea that is not clear, I look at the items in the closet that I have created by my own efforts, to relax my mind, calm my mind, and calculate step by step what to do next to achieve the best state for the coming days.

This is the end of this article sharing about my work corner. Thank you everyone for reading until the end.
