How many electronics are jammed in your office? (self.wfh)

I’ve got two Mac laptops, two tower PCs and five monitors. All in a small 10x6 basement office room. I’m in there 8-12 hours a day, 5-7 days a week (my gaming PC is one of the towers), for the last 15 years.

I’ve often wondered: am I shortening my life with fumes and electronic fields?

I'm typing this on one of the 6 monitors surrounding me, 3 for home use and 3 for work. 1 laptop on the side, backup drives, UPSes, yeah if I get cancer it'll be from this stuff. Have to hope that it's not as bad as working in a datacenter

Sounds about like mine... I am jammed packed! 8x12 room, I got my work laptop & dock, two 27" monitors hooked up to my gaming pc, laptop dock and my nintendo switch. Two KRK Studio Monitors, I have a power outlet up on my wall to mount a TV that would perfect for a large monitor or tv above my two monitors. Record player with a crappy 2.1 system and old antique tube radio. Guitar cab and amplifier.... RaspberryPi running my pihole...

A LOT. lol I know the feeling...

To that end... I love working from home and I can't imagine going back in office full time ever again.

I've got one laptop and one tower PC with three monitors. I've set up a dock and input switch so I use the same mouse/keyboard/speakers/monitors whether I'm using the work laptop or home tower.

Though I also have a server in the basement. . . and a 3d printer in here, if that counts?

I think there are probably way worse working conditions than near some electronics! But doesn't hurt to open a window to get some fresh air now and then.
