Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Setup Wars Episode 185 – Budget Edition”.
What’S happy eyes, 7 textures, welcome to setup wars, episode 185 budget Edition, so moving forward, all these episodes will have a budget of $ 2,000 or less because I realized 300 dollars just isn’t enough, especially if you’re considering the price of the PC. So I figured about a thousand bucks for the PC and another thousand for the setup makes more sense so yeah. That is the P. That is a limit for budget Edition and before I get roasted in the comment section about my beanie, this is just the one time thing I’m having a bad hair day. That is why I put it on I’m getting a haircut tomorrow and they’ll be gone by the time you guys watch the next episode, but anyways with that said, if you guys want to participate, watch the video link down below let the setup wars begin kicking off Episode is dushawn from Serbia and his productivity setup.
He pretty much only uses this for work-related tasks. He finished University and majored in Java, dev, HTML and CSS. He also had a budget of a thousand euros, which equates to around 1,100 u.s. dollars, and this is a setup.
He built himself he’s using a single ultra-wide from LG with a set of Logitech, Z, 207 speakers, and then we have his keyboard and mouse from Red Dragon. I like that he managed those cables through the desk and what’s interesting is that he drilled a separate hole. Just for the mouse, but he did actually leave extra slack underneath the table. The rest of the wires are being held up with a Signum rack behind the desk, with a few cable clips to help with routing overall, not a bad job. The PC power in the setup has a 2600 ex and the gtx 1066 gigabyte and while I appreciate you, staying consistent with the color scheme of your setup, the LED lighting from your peripherals kind of ruins. It I’m not sure if you were aware of this, but red dragon actually makes a white version of their tkl keyboard and they even have a white RGB mouse as well I’ll leave a link to them below. If you want to check it out, but other than the aesthetics, I’m really digging the super clean setup.
Thinki do shine for entering and good luck with your career, Markus is up next from Germany and another clean budget setup. That’S used for a lot of things from gaming to watching videos, designing and editing. I’M really liking this desk. By the way, the glossy surface gives the setup a nice clean, modern look, so majority of the budget is actually from the monitor he hooked up a 28 inch 4k monitor to the desk, along with a boom arm with a blue Yeti microphone attached to it. I also like the placement of the boom arm as it’s kind of tucked away in the corner, and it won’t block the monitor during use.
I’M also surprised he’s using a low-profile keyboard for gaming paired with an actual gaming mouse. I mean a Lisi drill a hole in the desk, threw out the cables through and he drilled another hole in the rack to pass them through and into the Signum rack in the back very nice. The only thing I’ve concerns about is the placement of the headset. I think in the effort of trying to hide them from plain sight, you might have put them too deep and away from reach.
The desk that Markus is using is actually a corner desk with a built-in shelf and some drawers, and I like how there’s just enough space to fit his PC, giving him extra space on the desk to organize his gear. The PC is super clean with a white and black color scheme and it’s got the horizon: 520 600, with the RX 580 sapphire Nitro GPU some interesting gear choices for gaming, but nonetheless it’s a super clean budget setup. Thank You, Marcus, for entering coming in at number. Three is Nayak from the Netherlands and has set up for gaming and watching videos. It looks like the desk is the IKEA mom, but without a built-in drawer. Instead, it’s detached with a set of wheels.
I think this is actually discontinued from Ikea, so he’s using a 24 inch AOC monitor with the a jazz keyboard and m65 gaming mouse. However, he does have a spare Logitech mouse that he uses for school and work for audio he’s, got a set of Philips speakers and a pair of Sony headphones hanging from the wall. Now the PC looks pretty dope inside that cursor to a DX RGB case.
It’S equipped with a 95 90 400 F, 8 gigs of RAM and the sapphire rx 580 Nitro graphics card. The cables, however, can definitely use some managing inside the PC. I’M not sure why you ran the CPU cable and the fan cables straight across the motherboard.
Instead of routing it from the back actually did a build in this case beginning of this year, and if you want to check it out and see how I routed the cables I’ll pin the video to the top of the comments. One other thing that kind of bothered me was the placement of the headphones. It just kind of seems out of place, especially since there is nothing else on the wall. If you don’t want to hang it underneath the desk maybe consider hanging it from the side of the drawer above your PC.
That way, you can use the wall to add a bit of personality to your setup. Thank You. Nyack for entering up next is Roland, who also happens to be from the Netherlands, and this is the setup he uses for gaming homework and a bit of programming, even though he has two monitors and a razor keyboard. The total cost of the set-up is still underneath.
The budget limit, his main monitor is the 27-inch MSI optics, which he uses for gaming, while the second outdated HP monitor is used mostly for programming. The razer blackwidow v2 keyboard looks pretty dope with the putting key caps. However, I’m not quite sure why it’s angled, like that, I mean I know some gamers play where they tilted keyboard, but that angle seems a bit extreme if I’m being honest, poor audio he’s using a pair of lab tech speakers and the HP omen 800 headset, which Is hanging from the Alex your and honestly the placements for his audio gear aren’t the best I’m not even kidding. I think this is the third PC in this episode.
That’S using a rising v 2600 and an Rx 580 Nitro from sapphire AMD is indeed kicking ass. It’S a great setup, but it’s a bit bland for my taste and it definitely needs some fine-tuning. Thank you wrote in for entering wrapping up. The episode is Simon from Sweden and his elegant and extremely organized gaming setup. It does look like we have another mom desk without the built-in storage and he did mount his 24-inch AMC monitor on the wall right in between a set of Andersen speakers, which he Plasti Dip to get rid of. The glossy finish keyboard is the coarser k55 paired with the Mad Catz rat for Mouse, quick, simple mod that you can do actually to straighten that cable is by picking up a tiny cable clip and putting it in the center of the desk and then clipping.
The cable on it that way, it’s kind of going straight across your desk kind of like what Kasper did in the last episode. The rest of the cables are managed beautifully, underneath the desk using some cable clips and extra points for that wall. Raceway hiding the speaker cables, but why didn’t you do the same for the monitor cables up top? Also, if you really wanted to you, can paint the raceway with a similar color of the wall, so maybe some like light-brown that way kind of blends in because right now it sticks out a lot since it’s the only white color in your setup, the headphones mounted Against the wall, don’t seem that out of place this time around, since there is something to balance it with, and it’s not the only thing that’s mounted on the wall also. Finally, we got the PC once again – oh my god, with a rise in 520 600 X. However, he is using an msi gtx 970, with 8 gigs of ram. Some of the cables in here could have been managed better, like the cpu cooler, for example, you could have tucked that away between the heat sinks and possibly routed the SATA cable from the side.
Instead of the bottom put overall, I’m really digging the vibe of this setup. It’S super clean and organized with some minor tweaks. You could really improve the overall look.
