My business had a good year and I have some extra budget I'd like to spend to upgrade my home office and to help reduce taxes. Any suggestions on what to spend it on?<p>1) Sit-to-stand desk?<p>2) Monitors for MacBook Pros? Boom arms?<p>3) Shared storage solution (e.g. a NAS with RAID 5)? What types of hard drives should I put into it?<p>4) ~55"-65" that I can easily use as a projector for metrics? Should I get an Apple TV? ChromeCast? Something else?<p>5) What are some other great gadgets to improve a home office?
Currently these are my choices...<p>1) Fully Jarvis sit-to-stand desk with rolling casters<p>2) LG 27UD88-W - 27" 4k Monitor

Hopefully Apple will come out with a better monitor in 2018 that will also charge my 15" MacBook Pro.<p>3) Synology 1517+ with 8GB of RAM

Haven't determined which hard disks yet. Will check the latest Backblaze report.

I recently got this monitor arm by VIVO from amazon: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NH0HTM5/" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NH0HTM5/</a><p>It is just $29 and the quality is decent and it holds my 32 inch 4K lg monitor with no problem. There is a weight limit so check your monitor weight before you purchase, but do NOT spend more than that on a monitor stand, most of them are identical.
