My partner’s workstation. This is basically the first version of my current workstation, with many similarities. The important thing here is the overall computing power. The interior was installed upside down so that a Dark Base 900 Pro could be placed sensibly and attractively on the left and right sides of our shared desk. My workstation was built “normally” so it is intended for the right side.
