I've got a question about light placement. I have a govee desk strip which I wanna use as a monitor backlight and have a set of light bars for placing above. Question is: Do i place the strip at top or bottom of triple monitos. With the two light bars I have them mounted up top: 1 above driver area and the second off set on right monitor arm. (see photos). Please advise for best effects.

Reached my upgrade goals for my rig for ‘26. Got everything wired and managed well enough. (First rule of cablemanagment: if I can’t see it, it no longer exists).
This years update involved taking apart my old rig and balancing everything right and tightening everything better. After that was solid, monitor mount included, I mounted the newest purchases: the MOZA flight lineup: the Ab6, mtp throttle and landing panel and the rudder pedals. Also added the mh18 stick. I also sim race, more than flying actually but my base is out getting fixed so I’m waiting to mount it to the rig. I moved the 4th monitor down and to the right. It makes it easier for me to see without hurting my neck.
I use space desk to stream my streaming pc feed back to my tablet so I can monitor my stream. I added some Mackie Cr5bt speakers just for when I don’t wanna use headphones. Added the stream deck mount and use the xl for button boxes and the plus for controlling stream stuff. Added the Govee light bars for ambient lighting when flying and racing. It really adds some new details to the overall experience. The first time I saw lightning strike in game on screen and the lights reacting to that, that was impressive. The rudder pedals are mounted on an old shelf and are removed when racing. It’s the only adjustment that needs to be made to go from flying to racing. Overall I’m pretty damn happy with this. Apart from possibly changing monitors and adding a haptic seat, I don’t see doing much to it. I’m not really into motion simulation so don’t think that’s in the cards. I am looking forward to the new MOZA flight panel and that will require some engineering.
Thanks for taking a look at my money pit. 😊
