r/battlestations

Simple, clean and multifunctional. that's my vibe. other than that i don't know what else to do, any suggestions?

Not a permanent setup due to moving out soon, but something to keep me by for now especially working from home somedays..any tips would be appreciated tho!

Any advice to take my setup to the next level? Top of the priority list is a vertical monitor to the left of my main. Thanks!

Built this setup around this 48 inch LG OLED. It's attached via monitor arm to a motorized sit-stand desk. Simple and functional.

"Humble" one monitor set up.

Those Logitechs are in my garage right now. Welcome back to the '90s.

I've been slowly building out my desk for a while, and the one thing I never found was a desk display that can show my portfolio metrics. The commercial options are pretty much just boxes with so many LEDs you may as well just look on your phone. I wanted something retro, and these boring-ass options weren't cutting it.

So I built one myself (duh). What it does:

• Stocks, crypto, and forex modes — live prices for whatever you configure
• Invest mode — pulls your actual portfolio P&L directly from Trading 212 or Interactive Brokers in real time
• Rotary dial - to cycle through modes and navigate, nothing else needed
• Configured entirely through a browser portal on your local network — no app and no account

The enclosure is fully custom, designed in CAD and 3D printed specifically around the internal components, so nothing is rattling around in a repurposed project box. Each one is hand-assembled and I build them myself.

The display is a dot-matrix LED panel, which I chose deliberately over LCD or OLED because of the retro preference I mentioned, which gives it more of that trading terminal feel rather than a phone propped up on a stand

Just got my new tv hisense u7 for my xbox and set it up with my battlestation. Love the setup, but I’m blown away at how clean everyone else’s battlestations look, barely any visible cables or clutter.

Mine’s definitely not as tidy as I’d like. How do you guys manage cable routing and keep everything looking so sleek? Any tips or tricks to get my setup closer to the ones on this sub?

this is not end game theres no end lol
