This is still a work in progress. Still have plenty left to do like mounting power strips, network switch, PoE injectors, cleaning up the cables, and I have plans to move to a 42" C2 OLED for the Studio. I use the Logitech Flow software to go between the two Macs with two of the Logitech Bolt USB Receivers (came with the new keyboard and mouse). I didn't want to sign into the work device with my personal Apple ID in order to use Universal Control.

L shaped sit/stand desk (VIVO 3 Leg Desk Frame, 330 lb limit, my wife did an amazing job making the maple top 24” deep 60” x 96”).

Work Device - Apple MacBook Pro - M1 Pro - 10\16\16 - 16 GB - 512 GB

Nice setup; once the cable management is complete it will look really nice.

How noisy are the fans on that switch, on the left?

It really isn't loud. On my Apple Watch (take it for what that is worth), I'm showing around 30dB in the middle of the room, 50 dB right next to the switch, and about 33 dB from where I'm sitting.

My desk curves around me on each side, so I took a panoramic - it’s kinda messed with the proportions though.
Anyway, I think this is how I’m going to have the desk for a while at least.
Hopefully by Wednesday the ASD arrives and I can put it where the 7” screen is and stop using Remote Desktop from the iMac finally

I love seeing how people put their little toys/gizmos on top of the Studio.

It may sound strange but I think this highlights why the design of the Studio enclosure works. Not because it's a make-shift pedestal/shelf, but because the design is so unobtrusive and effortless, it just blends really nicely into any kind of environment.

People can talk all they want about aesthetics, about how Macs such as the trashcan 'look' incredible (despite flawed engineering...), but it's all besides the point - to me they just come off as too "in your face" and arrogant. The Studio on the other hand is a beast that doesn't need to flex.
