Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Setup Wars Episode 165 – Budget/Teen Edition”.
Alright guys from now on the budget edition of setup Juarez will have an actual budget, let’s say around $ 1,500, which isn’t too much considering it includes the price of the PC as well. This way there isn’t any arguments in the description section and everyone is on the same page of what budget actually means, but yeah. What that said. Ladies gentlemen, welcome to set of pours episode, 165 budget Edition, where you submit your desk setup, if you guys want to put this up 8, make sure watch the video link down below oh yeah. With that said, let the setup war is begin huge thanks to dashlane.
For sponsoring today’s video Lane is the password manager that keeps track of all your passwords in one place. I have over a hundred different accounts that I use, and Lane removes the stress of having to remember the passwords of each one of them. I used to use other password manager services before, but I like using Lane more because there’s a lot more user friendly and I like the password generator feature, I’m able to seamlessly autofill all of my credentials safely, as well as valuable information making shopping so much easier. Online and just my subscribers, you can get Lane premium free for 30 days by using my link below and if you end up keeping it make sure to use my code tech source to get 10 % off kicking off. The episode is a 15 year old from London and his setup for video, editing and gaming. He did manage to fit to 24 inches monitors under his budget alongside a cooler master, master, keys, light keyboard and mouse combo.
It looks like the desk is from ikea and it’s the popular car, bleak countertop, being supported by alex yours for audio he’s using a pair of logitech, z3 33 speakers and that’s pretty much it for the surface. I do like that. He tied the cables together using some velcro, although I’m kind of concerned about the amount of slack he has left for his mouse. The cables are managed well underneath the desk using cable clips and a few cable sleeves to hide the wires, not a bad job.
I also see that he hooked up an SD card reader and a USB hub for easy access. The pc powering the setup is located on the ground. Unfortunately, and it’s got the Rison 7 1708 core processor. We got 16 gigs of ram and the asus strix 1050 Ti. There’S. Definitely some bottlenecking with this configuration, but I simply GPU upgrade later on – can fix that.
So it’s not a big deal. I just wish the PC wasn’t on the ground, because it’s such a clean build, I feel like if he pushed everything slightly to the left. You would have plenty of space on the right for the PC, it’s interesting to see that he would rather have his setup centered than having the PC on the desk. In total, this setup cost been a little over $ 1,500, but excellent.
We’Re keeping everything clean and organized up next is Brandon from Indiana and a super clean setup that he uses for gaming and video editing. So this setup actually has a lot of small modifications done to it, which I’ll go over in a bit. But let’s take a quick look at his gear, so he’s got a 23 inch, Acer, monitor and below that we got the cursor strafe read the keyboard and the logitech g502 proteus spectrum mouse. It’S obvious at this point that is going with a black and red color scheme, so this is pretty cool check this out.
The monitor riser is made out of Legos and he left some space in the middle to route. The keyboard and mouse wire through very, very clever, so if you guys are on a budget as well consider using Legos to build some parts of your setup like Brandon did radhiya was using the Dell a 2 to 5 USB powered speakers and the HyperX cloud 2 Gaming headset, the speakers are painted – or I guess in his case, colored using a red sharpie and the hanger for the headset, as some miscellaneous part from his dad’s work that he had an abusing to hold his head set the custom. Pcs, God is a little outdated with the FX 6300 12 gigs of ram and the msi gtx 1050 Ti, but I loved what he did with the desk. He actually made a cutout in the back, not only for the pc to help exhaust the hot air, but also for the rest of the cables doing this.
He actually avoided drilling holes in his desk for cable management, while keeping a very clean appearance from the front. It’S quite genius: actually, he hooked up the power strip on the back board and tied all the cables together job well done. He even went as far as to sharpie some parts of his PC, including the white parts on the GPU, the white gigabyte logo on the motherboard and the stickers on the PSU to keep the black and red a theme consistent. You know what Brandon I’m really impressed with your setup. You did such a great job with all the mods, and you made this setup work with what you got and I want to help you out so you’re watching this video. I want to give you $ 100.
In cash – and I know it’s not a lot, but maybe it can go towards your next upgrade for your setup. So if you’re watching this video toss me an email at setup, words at gmail to claim your prize. Congratulations, maybe I should call this episode. The teenager edition at number three we have jake from the UK and another super clean black and red themed, set up for gaming, school work and sometimes editing. We got a 22 inch monitor the courser k55 RGB keyboard and the her LEF 300, which i recommended in my roundup, of the best gaming mice under $ 20, great choices on the gear and also a great job tying the cables together. I love seeing that it really does clean up the surface of the desk sticking with his budget. He went with the G 9000 gaming headset and a toner microphone hooked up to the newer boom arm, he’s also able to keep his PC on the desk.
Although it’s a little outdated, he is planning on upgrading in the near future. However, I do recommend moving your GPU to the top x16 slot. We do get the chance just to make sure you’re getting the most performance possible.
Ok, linesman! He did attach the power strip underneath his desk using some 3m tape and he held up the cables using a cable clip. So I don’t have any complaints here. There’S actually been quite the improvement over his last setup. He waited 7 months until his birthday to buy his PC parts, and then he had to wait for Christmas to order the rest of the gear for his setup, a very nice upgrade for a very clean setup.
Thank You, Jake for entering and number four is another budget setup. At this time we got an ultra-wide. This is Julian from Germany and his setup for productivity he’s walking a 34 inch ultra wide from LG and wireless peripherals. We got the anchor wireless keyboard and the MX master 2 s Mouse, it’s a very simple setup, not much to it.
Really. We got some bose companion, 2 speakers and a pair of JBL charged headphones and since Macs are expensive. Julian built a custom PC with an i5 6500 and a gtx 750ti, I’m concerned the PC would interfere with legroom, so I would recommend, maybe placing it sideways to give you some extra space. We do have a Signum holding up all the cables and a channel raceway to route the PC wires, like I said, a very simple, yet productive setup from Julian.
Thank you for entering wrapping up. The episode is a laptop setup from dn and purpose of this is for schoolwork photo editing and light gaming. We do have a Lenovo IdeaPad 520, with an i7 8550 you a BIG’s of RAM and the MX 154 gigabyte graphics card, which is playable in low or medium settings. What I like about the setup is that he installed a wall shelf so that the laptop is eye level, also giving him extra space to keep some of his stuff up here.
It also looks like he’s sticking with MSI. We have the Interceptor keyboard and the mouse and even an msi headset, that’s hanging underneath the desk. He did cut some space behind the wall shelf throughout the cables down and he installed a USB hub so that he can connect this keyboard and mouse and the rest of the wires are grouped up nicely and routed through a channel raceway. I do love the extra effort he put into this setup. You can really tell he cares about it. It’S simple, but it works.
