Putting together an office and I bought myself a 62" adjustable height workbench for my desk.
I'm wondering what you all have on/attached to your desks that are rad or indispensable. It's a solid wood butcher block top with a manual crank so I'm not precious and happy to drill into it, screw things into it, etc.
Whatcha got?

I got a monitor clamp arm to replace the regular upright stand that came with my Dell monitor. Great for creating more space for stuff under the monitor and the wide range of movement is handy.
Invision MX150 is the model I got and has been going strong for over a year.
- I've got the same arm to attach my graphic tablet/second monitor on it, strong and very usefullOBBTKN
- Got one of these as my second monitor arm, can angle second monitor more tightly to the main screen for work, or angle flatter for sitting back for browsing/vidBuddhaHat
- Are the screw mounts that go directly into the monitor universal?desmo
- This one uses the VESA mount standard which worked with my Dell monitor.mort_
- Do they wobble?robotinc
- No, they are pretty sturdy.mort_
- found a "vintage" knoll double arm thing on ebay for a good pricedoesnotexist
- the arm looks so ugly, could then not give it some straight lines and nice colour instead of the usual tech black?shapesalad
- Humanscale and Herman Miller both have some nicer looking options. Check craigslist.monNom
- I didn’t mind the colour because the arm isn’t really visible in my setup. Does the job for £36.mort_

mine is not orange, but something with usb ports is really useful.

I have been thinking about getting some sort of aquarium.
- Not a particularly wonderful existence for the fish though, unless it's into upskirting...Nairn
- Make sure you get a fish that is into minimalism too - seeing as there's nothing in its tank.shapesalad
- get a betaYakuZoku
- Definitely get a beta fish.
ASSERT DOMINANCE.Nairn - Or Nano Wabi Kusa or Nano Dooa systems for a slice of nature on your desk. This looks like something a psychopath would haveNaygon
- If you arent super disciplined, get a large eheim.slappy
- Don’t get goldfish. I won 3 in a carnival and now they’re the size of footballs and shit up the water so fast i have to clean the 40gal aquarium every weekscarabin

- I used to have one of these but it shorted out when I waled by it holding a ladder for some reason.cannonball1978
- I have one on my nightstand. It looks nice but sounds like shit. Radio bleeds through when using Bluetooth making it useless.fooler

in seriousness I keep some mint essential oil on my desk and I have a quartz crystal. not because I'm super into crystals, but I think they're both nice and stimulating in their own ways.
if I'm bored I'll put some mint oil in my palms and smell it-- is nice.- oh good callcannonball1978
