Monitor Light Bar.

Sometimes it’s not all about the fastest speeds you can muster, or upgrading your PC (especially in this market). To get the most from your setup, you have to consider how you interact with it daily. If you’re anything like me, you’re probably sitting at your desk for an unhealthy amount of time every single day, so minute improvements to your environment can make a huge difference in your day-to-day.

For me, my PC desk isn’t just where I work, it’s where I play games, engage in my model-building hobby, and where I’m often working into the night. So, how does a light bar help with all of this?
