Office/Nerd Cave/2 Channel Finally Done

Well, my office was framed about 2 weeks after we moved in to our new house in Oct 2015.
Fast forward to today and I finally got my office finished up which tripled as my 2 channel room and nerd cave to keep all of my nerd memorabilia in check.
I actually have several rigs set up in this space...2 complete 2 channel and a headphone rig along with a near field setup on my desk.
The pictures show the 2 full 2 channel systems.

Nice looking setup and nice gear. What kind of audio rack is that?
-
Drool.... Nice job bro
-
The rack is DIY. I made it out of 5/4 cherry and the legs are cherry 12/4 cut to a more manageable size.
I’ve made a couple of them. The other is zebra wood shelves and ambrosia (or spalted) maple."Some people find it easier to be conceited rather than correct."

A dark snap of the headphones and Little Dot. Source is laptop or my phone usually but I also connect it to a Cambridge SACD player now and then.

I like it, but I have to say I am a socks off listener. Only the bare essentials.

Only questions I have are this:
1. How many dedicated 20 amp circuits
2. Whats the equipment list (cables and hardware)
3. Where is the fully stocked mini-fridge.... you cant seriously have to MOVE for drinks"....not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted." William Bruce Cameron, Informal Sociology: A Casual Introduction to Sociological Thinking (1963) -

Couple of panoramas of the whole room. First is from the doorway and second is from back by my desk.

I plan on building a panel to fit into the frame around the networking equipment and am covering the electrical box with stickers to annoy Russ."Some people find it easier to be conceited rather than correct."

That looks so cozy. I think you need more monitors though. Proud and loyal citizen of the Digital Domain and Solid State Country!

It's only 2x24" and a 19".
Work won't spring for the trio of 37" ultrawides I wanted...
And having spent the entire night in here working tonight, I could easily take a nap here.

Why not just install a PJ and be done. 110" of screen projected on the wall lol....

Because at even 4K resolution, I still wouldn’t be able to fit the number of open windows/dashboards I need to have open at any given time.
