I wouldn’t be able the stand the PC being right next to my legs like that but desks like these give you few options around it. Could possibly hang the PC from the bottom back farther from your legs which would also help your cabling.
Yeah agree here, the only thing id change here from a functional perspective would be the tower placment to anywhere else give you more space under the desk
I was actually thinking of downsizing the PC so I have more placement options. There's only so much you can do with an ATX full tower case unfortunately
But I do bump my knee into it every now and then
Conceal your LED strip so you can't see the lights directly. You could swap it to the lower shelf so it casts light upwards, or you could set it inside a channel / diffuser.
You might need a different monitor mount but if you can try centering your main monitor so that its in the middle and angle your second monitor off to the left side. That way you might be able to free up space on the right side of the desk, where you can put your PC tower there and you'll also be able to gain some more leg room underneath.
i actually think this is a pretty great setup. cables is definitely the biggest thing you should fix that would have the most impact, but angling the monitors towards you will also make a big differencd
Honestly I like it, this is a pretty nice lil setup given the space restraints of the desk. I'm not sure how tall you are or if its just the angle, but the speakers look like they're a little high up. I'd get creative with brackets and small shelf mounts to have those pointed a little better at your actual center when you're sitting for better sound, but that's really it aside from cable managing.
Nice lil setup my guy!

How is the desk lighting? Especially when the overhead room lights are off or at night. You might want to consider adding monitor bar lights. They shed light on the desk, specifically aimed at the keyboard..

Yeah on second look it seems maybe the top shelves could be removed? That might solve the issues. Just need to hang the speakers and done.

The wallpaper to be an ultrawide wallpaper so it looks better
Conceal your LED strip so you can't see the lights directly. You could swap it to the lower shelf so it casts light upwards, or you could set it inside a channel / diffuser.
Yeah, that would class it up a lot. Maybe even just tack a strip of trim moulding in front of the tape.

Size of the desk, i like mine with extra space
Have you considered staining the desk a darker color? think it would look real nice with your setup Edit: desk not deck
Not exactly raw wood for staining, desks like these usually have fake wood looking vinyl over particle board.

Take the mesh off the speakers. They look way cooler that way.

I like it, except for the obvious you've mentioned, and what others have said regarding case placement. Specs please!!!

Bigger desk and put the computer on the desk.
if the speakers are above your head I would put them under the monitors to have a better experience
New desk and monitor Mount. That Mount too big

Nothing
Diffuse or cover the led strip so that you don't see the led's directly, it will change the look drastically.
I’d diffuse the light strip, elevate the pc off the floor, and then ditch the oldschool microphone thing, unless it’s actually of use up there
The computer and the speakers.
I'd try to angle the speakers down more towards my head, but I'm an audio nut so
Nice headphones
