Hi Julien,
unless you put your speakers and pc in direct contact with the radiator, it
should not be a problem. Even cables that have a direct connection should
survive that just fine. Standard specs says 150°C and as we are in Germany,
they will actually survive two to three times of that. (For selling them with
150°C specs, they must withstand 300°C, for engineers using them in
installation, they must withstand 450°C to get the 150°C sign...)
Just keep ~15cm between your pc and the radiator and it should be okay... Of
course, opening the window becomes a problem when your desk is to filled-up.
If you fill the shelve with uneven objects, that is good too. Better spend the
clothings for walls not covered in shelve or drawers.
I have my keyboards at the right of my desk (in an L-shape). I noticed a few
years ago that right is the better side for it so I can play with the right
hand and control the mouse/keyboard with my left hand without crossing arms.
I am kind of wondering because the normal things I would put up to reduce
reflections while being aesthetic, would be posters, pictures and maybe cloths-
artwork. But for you it doesn't really have to look nice (only for visitors),
just feel and sound right...
Have fun,
Arnold

Hello Arnold!
Unfortunately placing the desk in front of the window, is not really a
think to do, because the radiator is directly under the window. so the PC
won't like it and I'm not sure how much the speakers will like it. It's a
south facing room and I enjoy EVERY light coming in, even in summer with
30+ C. :-) But I'll put the desk in the middle of one wall and will put
the cupbaord to one side and the shelf to the other. I'll try my best to
create equal surfaces in the cupboard and the shelf. I don't have books. I
only have CDs and sme stuff. I'll try distributing it in a good way, maybe
I can have a clothe before the shelf and maybe I can get cloth on the
cupboard as well. Somewhere around the desk, I'll also have to space my
keyboards as well. :-) Kindly yours
Julien
