My Dream Home Office Setup – Full Parts List & Cost Breakdown

I rebuilt my home office from a basic unfinished workspace with cables everywhere and a bowed desk into my dream setup for coding, occasional gaming, and everyday work.

I built a custom desk using maple plywood, added cabinets and drawers, built a new PC, upgraded to three monitors, improved cable management, and decorated the room with shelves, plants, and lighting.

I started purchasing parts and materials in early 2026 and continued through July, so some prices may have changed since then.
