    The LEDs look great. I feel like a few strips behind the TV would help tie the two sides of the set together since both the TV and the centre shelves are dark spots.

    I'd add backlights behind the TV to match the below shelf coloring. I'd also dress up the lower wires with black electrical tape or loom tubes and tidy them up where possible. You have a great opportunity to put monitors all around tied to working 8-bit computers and projects. No sense in missing that opportunity as you expand. You and David are doing incredible work, keep it up!

    Very nice start, sir. As others have noted, I, too, am not a fan of RGB lighting, but to each his own. I would have a dedicated setup for 'projects', or a table/desk extension to bring in (like a run-off table extension for a table saw) and a nice cart to roll in for sample/example showing off purposes, to not take up valuable floor space. For your pod casts (especially if you plan on doing it 'in the round', I'd try monitors on the side walls, too, so people don't have to 'swing' back and forth between something they need to look at and talk to the mic/camera...

  • @brightoncommunityworkshopp271

  • @TheHookUp
    @TheHookUp Před 3 lety +12

    When you showed the 2nd plan for the space and then said "I'm already using an IKEA sit stand desk", I was like "oh cool, looks like he's going to use IKEA KALLAX and LACKS", but nope, you built them yourself. I'm interested to know what the cost breakdown of your wood was to see if the IKEA version would have been less expensive than building them yourself. LED lighting looks great, are you using WLED to control them?

    • @TheGeekPub

    WS2815 rgb leds are a bit easier to work with. Same protocol, but they work on 12V - less amps to deal with and no color shift on long chains. ;)
    Backup data pin, that they also have, doesn't hurt either.
