This is my work from home setup. I work from home every work day. I use the following equipment:

Linux Workstation ‘study.local’

  • Ivy Bridge 8 Processor Xeon (16 cores total)
  • 256GB SSD system drive running Kali Linux rolling
  • 1TB moving platter drive
  • 32GB DDR3 RAM
  • 10Gbit/sec fibreoptic network card
  • IBM Lenovo ThinkStation C30 Case and PSU
  • Benq 32" 2560x1440 graphic designers monitor on Amazon Basics extendable desk mount arm

Equipment shared between the laptops of the companies I work for, and my own workstation

  • Logitech 5.1 surround sound system with 5 speakers and subwoofer
  • Sony WH-1000XM3 Apt-X HD Noise cancelling headphones with an Avantree Oasis Plus Apt-X HD bluetooth transmitter, so I can listen to any of the music devices on noise cancelling headphones
  • Logi USB headset with noise cancelling microphone
  • Anker vertical mouse
  • Kinesis Freestyle 2 ergonomic keyboard
  • Apple Magic Pad 2 that I’ve made work with Ubuntu - I use this in preference to the vertical mouse as I’ve found it much more comfortable in most cases.

  • LogiTech C920 web cam
