Making My Setup Look Better

[BoredErica]

Can somebody think of something relatively cheap that can make my setup look a bit better? My speakers are resting on the packing foam that came with my Blue Yeti because I have no stand. The tweeters are almost ear level. The monitor has no proper stand, and it's resting on a Yellow Book. What should I replace them with? I was thinking of black wooden blocks and replacing the foam and yellow book with them, but I have no idea who sells them. I'm not interested in spending $50+ getting a "proper" solution like a good monitor stand or speaker stands. Trying to think of some ghetto solution that works and looks half decent. I think my setup needs a new mousepad. The keycaps on my keyboard is worn out but the keycaps cost more than half the price of the keyboard! And I need a better way of managing the headphone cables... I like my desk though. Nice, solid wood.

led-strips below your desk or something?

Monitor arm/stand. You can get good single and even dual monitor stands for less than $50.

How about a can of spray paint or Plasti Dip for the two foam blocks? Paint white glue on the open sides of the squared-up phone book (I presume it can be trashed). Once cured give it the paint / Plasti Dip treatment.

Interesting idea.

 

I'm thinking of making the stuff all black, because it matches the dark tone of my wooden desk, my amp/dac, speakers, and monitors. 

I was thinking black boxes. But try searching that up on Amazon, lol. Or wooden planks, but they don't come in black, I'd have to paint them. I was thinking about reams of printer paper, but that's white and I'm looking for something dark to pitch black.

Ditch the floral wallpaper. Problem solved.
