Looks nice so far Vec. One thing on the monitor. It looks taller than it is wider. But maybe its just my horrible eyes. I noticed the texture on top of the desk is abit stretched/blurry. Again, could be my eyes, heh. user added image Im liking the keyboard tho.

Good stuff, just make the monitor 4:3 in aspect ratio, it looks a bit too tall right now. .)

Monitors are based on a 4:3 ratio, usually.

The geometry looks good! What you might want to do is do a "edit polygons -> normals -> set to face" and then "edit polygons -> normals -> soften/harden" with a good (experiment) value. That should clean up the normals a bit. Good luck.

I like the speakers, nice shape. The mouse looks a tad flat, but it's all coming together nicely.
