I still have my Rack Shack (https://forums.radioreference.com/threads/n9jig-shack-video.375560/) and (https://forums.radioreference.com/threads/n9jig-june-2018-cabinet-completed.372852/) but have supplemented it with easier to reach radios on the desk. I have been beta testing the SDS series and can now show them as well.
On the desk I have behind the radios an 8-port Stridsberg multicoupler to feed the 5 radios running there. I use these radios all day while working (probably talked to many of you on the phone...) and with these I can usually work out issues with callers. I also keep a bunch of handhelds available so I can help people with them as well.
Operating on the desk are the SDS200, SDS100, BCD536HP, BCD996XT and HomePatrol 1. I also have a few handhelds available that during the work week tend to accumulate on the desk and on the weekend I usually try to put them away.
The computer is the iMac 5K with 32GB of RAM and a 3TB SSD. It has 2 32-inch monitors on either side, one for Windows (using Parallels and Win10Pro). The computer is sitting atop a 4TB RAID drive used as a backup drive, there is a second 4TB drive out of view behind he computer. Behind the computer is an APS UPS.
The entire desk is self-contained, with power, a network cable and an antenna feed the only wires going to it. Out of sight is a switch to connect the SDS200, work phone and computer. It is a rising desk and I use that feature most of the day, I prefer to stand when I can. If I need to work on the system I can pull the desk out (it is on nylon sliders) and get at the back.
To the left on the wall I have a WWV clock, to the left of that I have a 50 inch 4K TV I use mostly for watching Railfan or airport web cams when working. Since railfanning around here is pretty sparse the cams are a great substitute, plus I can watch while I work.
The rack is to the right as I sit at the desk, and the Windows PC (NUC) is just to the right of that. I can just slide my chair over to get at that.
I work from home so I can play with my toys and get paid doing so.
