Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Every Console in one Gaming Desk Setup!”.
What’S going on guys your average consumer and of course we are back at micro center if you couldn’t tell you know what i like to call this place: tech heaven. I call it tech heaven, because all the tech that you usually see online. This is the place where you actually get to see it in person. Now, if you guys don’t know, microcenter has 25 locations across the country.
If you haven’t been to one trust, your boy and try to find one close to you and check it out and if you’ve never been to a micro center before now is the time because new customers actually get a coupon to get a free, 240 gigabyte ssd. When you go into stores, so if you like free stuff and you’ve never been here before, i’m telling you now is the time, but check out the link that i have in the description. So you can learn more today, we’ve got a very special video. I’Ve got this really cool desk setup that i’ve been working on for a few months now, and i wanted something really clean and i knew microcenter would be the spot to go and get everything that i needed to make that thing come alive now, if you guys, Don’T already know, my percentage website has a custom pc builder, that you can throw all the parts inside of and then have micro center, build it for you and you just go pick it up. So that’s what i went and did i’m gon na go.
Get my pc now and get this desk setup put together all right guys, so we’ve got our pc it’s time to get started, so here it is guys. This is the beast that i picked up over at micro center. It’S built in this thermaltake mid tower case, which i’ll of course have linked down below in the description as well as all of the other cool stuff that i mentioned that you can find at micro center. Now we won’t run through all of the components in this pc, but i’ll, throw up a list that you guys can see here and you guys can see it from the spec list.
This machine is an absolute beast and gaming on it has been crazy fun. I’M kind of killing it when i’m playing on this thing. So if you guys want to learn how to build up your own pc, definitely check out the pc builder micro center has tons and tons of great options.
Whether you want to build a pc yourself or have them do it so we went with this asus rog crosshair 8 dark hero, motherboard, and this is perfect for a new pc build since it’s one of the few motherboards out right now that explicitly mentions that it’s Windows 11 ready now. This guy is also packing an amd ryzen 7 5800x processor. And of course you know, we had to put a decent graphics card inside of here, so we’re rocking with an asus rog strix 3080 ti. So we’ve got more than enough power to get all the kind of gaming that we want done as well as creative stuff. If we want to, but i know you guys want to see the desk setup so let’s get started but alright guys here it is.
This is the setup that i’ve been working on for the last few weeks, but all right guys check it out. This is like our chill very calm, vibe desk setup. Now this one, i had some big ideas, for i wanted this to be a really clean setup, but it can be used for just about anything. So we’ve got, of course, the behemoth this gaming, pc uh that we’ve got set up over here. We talked about this already and everything that it’s got inside of it, but we’ve also got underneath playstation 5 xbox one s as well as a nintendo switch hidden in the back. So the whole idea is to not have them in the way makes it easy to run the cables back there as well, and everything i need to access them is right here, so we pretty much got all of the gaming consoles here, including the pc.
So, however, you want to game. This setup is gon na. Allow you to do that now. First of all, the desk that we’re using right here is from artifox.
They offer a few. Variations of this desk in different finishes different colors, but they also have accessories. If you want to have like a nice clean organized space – and i knew whatever i would bring to this setup – had to look super clean one thing: you’ll notice, no rgb lights over here. We just wanted it to be a nice. I know right no light strips. We got a little rgb on the mouse and keyboard, but i feel like we could get away with that.
We that that’s fine right jay, but honestly this desk has been huge uh because it offers quite a bit more than you would expect. So we’ve got little studs here for things like our gaming headsets in the back, we’ve got tons of cable management. It’S like this nice sheet of metals with holes so that you can run your cables through it and even have it strapped to it. It helps us to achieve like a really nice look, even though you guys can see.
We’Ve got all kinds of tech over here, but cables are not running rampant uh, and let me tell you guys it took some time to make it happen. Okay, it was not easy. Uh. We’Ve got some additional pieces like this guy right here. This can be removed. If you want to have a nice monitor sit on top of here, you can do that. We’Ve also got like nice trays and like books that they make so that, if you know you want to sit down jot down some notes, maybe you want to use this for not a super teched out area. They’Ve got some really cool stuff so that you can just have like a beautiful setup, but this artifox desk is really what drove the whole idea for this setup to something nice and clean, while still being able to do anything that you want at it.
I’Ll. Of course, have them linked down below, as well as everything that you can pick up from micro center in the description now, the monitor that i went with is from the lg ultra gear line. If you didn’t know, lg has the ultra gear line, which is geared towards gamers it pretty much has everything you would want in a gaming monitor 144 hertz one millisecond response time. It’S a nice large display at 34 inches. So, if you’re looking for like an ultra wide monitor uh, this thing has pretty much everything you’d want and some rgbj we forgot about it. We forgot about this one there’s some rgb back here too. It’S very subtle, but it’s in the back uh, when all the lights are off.
You know you get like a faint little glow, but you get your nvidia g-sync, all that good stuff. So if you want a game on here, which we do we’ll be able to do that with no problem now, obviously gaming here is the whole point of the setup and it’s very clear based on the mouse keyboard and all the controllers that we’ve got over here. So check this out, you guys. First of all, we got ta talk about the stand that the controllers are sitting on, so this is actually custom made by the folks over at geek made designs guys. This is amazing.
We’Ve got the xbox elite, 2 controller in the middle playstation, 5 controller and a nintendo switch pro controller, and you can probably find these controllers over at micro center. They actually have an insane section of controllers, with tons of different ones for all kinds of systems. So you guys are definitely going to want to check that out and look.
You can just take all of these off and you guys can see these are crafted to hold all the controllers in place very well all same level, it’s amazing stuff and the wood that they use. Look at this detail look at over here guys. This thing is like translucent, it’s absolutely amazing.
I never thought i’d freak out over some wood, but this thing is sick. One thing – that’s really awesome to note is that all of the accessories that you would get inside of the elite 2 controller packaging they’re all sitting right here, just like they would inside of the case even the wireless charger which functions that is super cool. Definitely one of the biggest centerpieces uh to this whole setup i’ll, have them linked down below in the description as well. They are absolutely worth checking out and you guys might have noticed. We went with like an all black vibe over here, since this is like what we’re doing we’re doing the wood and black uh. So we got a black playstation, 5 controller elite 2 controller is always black and we got this.
Nintendo switch pro controller. That’S from like this is the monster hunter rise edition, so it had a little bit of gold on it. It’S like all right, it fits.
It looks good here. Why not now for the mouse and keyboard that we’re using for our pc over here, we’ve got the hyperx alloy origins. This is with the blue switches. So it’s like nice and clicky. I personally like having really clicky keys.
So it can, you know, feel like i’m pressing something. I know some people like red, where it says like super smooth. I, like the click i give me that tactile feel and for the mouse we’ve got the pulse fire dart. Now we’ve got the rgb lights kind of trying to match the theme as well.
So that’s kind of what we’ve got going on over here, but hyper x makes some underrated gear. They’Ve got really high quality stuff and they’re, not crazy, expensive they’re low-key. One of my favorites: we even have the hyperx cloud flight s now these are great for long gaming sessions, they’re extremely comfortable, like look at these ear, cushions guys super soft. They go completely over the ear if you want a game for a long time.
This is where it’s at i love hyperx’s uh gaming, headsets uh. This one’s got some really cool features. You got controls on the sides for like volume that kind of thing, but it also has like wireless charging. You can wirelessly charge these if you want so lots of cool stuff from hyperx, so that’s kind of why we decided to just go with them. Keep that minimal! Look! Nothing! Super crazy definitely fits the vibe here really well, so we’ve got the gaming headset when we’re gaming on like the pc, and it also works with the ps5, and i think it can work with the no no does it work with the switch.
I don’t use it for that, but i think it might be able to work with the switch, but it doesn’t work with the xbox that we have here, but that’s cool because we have the kanto u2s. So these are like you know some small desktop speakers uh. We didn’t want to do anything super big here, since this is not some crazy large desk, but it still has like that walnut finish that matches for the most part.
You know, i think some of the wood might not match exactly like. We’Ve got this little random, ikea leaf thing that doesn’t really go that well, but it’s all good! You know it still hits the theme a little bit uh, but these i think, match for the most part. These look really good. They sound great and these are connected directly to the monitor.
So no matter what is playing on the monitor, i can have the audio going to the speakers so no matter what system you’re playing, they all produce audio from the speakers and they sound really good. Now you might be wondering how many hdmi ports does this monitor have right. Well, it’s got a single one and it’s got a display port of course. So we got that connected to the pc, but in order to make this work we had to use something from the folks over at rocketfish. Oh dang, i’ve got it taped down jay. Oh, it’s cool, we’ll throw in some b-roll, so we’ve got an hdmi splitter in here, so you can connect up to four different things with hdmi and whenever i want to switch, i just use this little remote and then with this i can go to whatever console That i want and it works pretty. Well, i don’t notice any lag. It also supports 4k in hdr.
So you know it’s one of the most high quality hdmi splitters that i’ve used it’s a little expensive, but it’s what made this whole thing come together, uh. So it’s definitely worth checking out uh, but yeah. That’S pretty much! What we’ve got going on over here, anything that we’re missing jay where’s the switch the switch. Oh i’m glad you asked so behind the controllers uh, the artifact has an extra little spot.
We’Ve got our switch sitting right here and you might be wondering how you, how have you got it connected over here since there’s no dock right? Well, there actually is a dock in the back uh in our surge protector. We’Ve got the genki convert dock and with that we’re able to just plug in the hdmi cable to it and we’re also able to plug in the cable this usbc cable that goes to the switch. So that’s where the switch is nice low-key can’t even see that it’s there, and that was the idea to keep the consoles out of sight and then, whenever you just want to use it, you just grab the controller from up here and you’re kind of good to Go we can’t exactly hide this guy, so it’s got his own little island over here that it sits on, but that about wraps it up for this video guys. Hopefully you enjoyed it.
This is just a project that i’ve been working on. I wanted a really clean setup that houses pretty much anything that you can play. This is the gamer’s paradise that these the setup is living in. So it’s only right.
Gamers paradise coming soon, baby, it’s coming soon in a few months, but yeah. No. This thing is like perfect for this area, but again i want to give a huge shout out to microcenter for having all of the gear necessary to make this setup. You can find just about anything over there and you guys can see why it’s becoming my one. Stop shop for just about anything desk setup related. Hopefully you got some ideas now, i’m not saying you’re gon na be able to just copy this, but it hopefully gave you some ideas into how you might want to do your setup.
If you enjoyed this video, be the cool guy girl that gives it a thumbs up and catch you guys in the next one till then, as your average consumer peace at least we’re working on the gamer’s paradise. This is a. This is a step in the right direction, update one. Thank you.
