So he uses this for pretty much everything from gaming to productivity and everything in between he’s using a custom, wood countertop that he built by himself with a couple of Alice drawers for support and storage.
He did mount both of his Dell monitors on the desk and below that we got his Logitech speakers and a few Rick and Morty figurines to add a little bit of personalization so for peripherals, he’s rocking a rocket ryos keyboard with the Logitech G 700 mouse. It does look like he drilled, a hole in the desk to hide the cables, pretty straightforward, nothing to complain about just yet other than the speakers. He does have a couple of headsets hanging beautifully underneath the desk, the Astro a40 s with a mix amp and the week on 50 X.
Since Brennan does like to scream as well, he does have a mic setup to the side. We got the blue Yeti blackout. That’S hooked up to a boom arm and I’m actually liking the placement of the microphone.
It’S also really convenient for cable management, since he can run the cable straight down and underneath the desk. The rest of the cables are managed very well underneath here, with a long Raceway to channel all the wires, along with some cable clips and 3m tape, good job. And finally, we got the PC powering it all. It’S equipped with the 46 70 K and MSI GTX 16 60 TI with Goku Super Saiyan, God form defending it. Overall, it’s a very polished and straightforward setup for both work and play.
Thank You. Benin for starting off the show next up is Tasos from greece and his super clean and minimalistic setup. That’S used for light gaming and work projects. Fun fact Tasos has been using a laptop for the last few years, but when he started watching setup Wars a year ago, he got inspired to build his dream setup, which is what you see here, he’s using a super clean but compact you-let’s office desk, and he Mounted his 27-inch msi gaming, monitor to it he’s also using Razer, BlackWidow X, chroma key board and the eraser lancehead chroma Mouse, both of them mercury edition to stay consistent with the color scheme.
He does have two sources of audio as well: the Logitech G 560 speakers and the razer kraken, tucked away in the corner. Overall, he did a fantastic job. Keeping the surface of the desk clutter free, the PC firing setup is actually Tassos his first ever water-cooled build and he decided to jump straight into hardline and I got ta say you did a really great job.
For your first time, I do recommend buying some extension feedings, however, so that you can line up the tubing perfectly with the ports. I do like the custom 3d printed cover for the five inch monitor in the case that works perfectly with the build and casos even went as far as to wrap the PC cables inside the case and underneath it to hide the wires coming out from the side. That’S actually pretty smart speed of cables, Tasos drill, a hole through the desk and the mouse pad for the keyboard and mouse, and everything looks good underneath the desk thanks to the Signum racks, no complaints here, you know this setup may be too simple and minimalistic for A lot of people out there, but I love everything about it.
I’M really happy that you were inspired by setup words. You create this dope setup and thank you Tasos for entering a number three. We have jano from Germany and his creative gaming setup. Now. The first thing I looked at was the location of his PC, and I got a little bit of anxiety, just like any normal person would talk about pushing the limits. The second thing that caught my attention was the custom wall art.
He didn’t stay in the notes. What he made it out of, but we can clearly see the RGB strips that he installed behind each one of them that he can control individually with his smartphone, pretty cool mod. If you ask me for the gear general kept it simple with a courser keyboard and a Logitech mouse, the only other thing on the desk is the app back that uses with his sennheiser HD headphones.
I don’t have any complaints for cable management. Everything does seem to be contained much better than Co vid and finally, we got the PC over there at the edge – and I actually just noticed this now, but the side panel was modded with a custom decal which looks pretty cool honestly if it weren’t for the Wall, art, I would say this setup – is a bit too bland. I do have mixed feelings about the wall. Art though I think it looks cool and it works well with the color scheme, but I would have went the extra effort to make it a bit symmetrical. Also, since we’re talking about symmetry, the left speaker is a bit too far out in comparison with the other one.
If this was done a little differently, it would have looked much better in my opinion, but either way it’s very creative. Thank You, general, for entering coming. In at number, 4 is a setup that I’ve been excited to share for quite some time now. This is Ryan’s dual setup battle station from Denver Colorado, so the main setup has an LG ultra ride, that’s mounted against the wall and he uses this for mostly gaming and editing.
We got the GM MK compact, 60 % keyboard with custom key caps, and he paired that with the popular glorious model. All gaming mouse in matte white, such a great combo for audio ride, uses the both companion speakers and these sennheiser 598 switch are resting on a headphone hangar to the side. I think Ryan did a great job, spacing everything on the desk so that it doesn’t look. So cluttered it’s organized really well, with only the essentials on there plus a few decorative elements. The other setup is mostly used for work and it’s hooked up to a dell laptop which is not shown in the pictures. So the main setup is being powered by a custom-built PC, Wakeeney 9900 K and evj r-tx 20 atti Daniel.
Those are some juicy specs. I love that he also customized the build with an AIO sleeving kit. We got custom cables in here and a few custom parts from v1 tech. The GPU backplate and fan grills well done. The cables are also managed very well. Ryan did use a lot of raceways behind the desk to channel the wires through and he mounted the power strips underneath the desk to keep everything away from sight.
I didn’t expect anything less from a setup like this. Okay, now, let’s talk about the wall panels, I’m sure a lot of you guys are itching to find out more about ease. So these are 3d art panels from a company called art 3d and they have a bunch of different styles that they sell online and they’re becoming really popular. I’M starting to see a lot of setups use their wall panels. After all, it’s a fairly cheap way to change up the look of your setup.
They are made out of PVC, so it’s easy to cut and they stick to the wall with double-sided tape. But here’s my question to Ryan: wouldn’t it have been a better idea to start from the left side of your wall and then go right. That way, you wouldn’t have to cut any of the pieces. Since your setup is in the corner. I feel like it’s more noticeable this way, but I can’t really see your entire room, so I can’t say for sure you probably had a good reason for doing it. This way, everything else about this battle station is pretty much flawless. Everything is organized and clean, with really great lighting across the setup.
You have a really good eye for creativity and I, like your taste in gear choices and design as well. Thank You, Ryan for entering speaking of good taste. Wrapping up the episode is wreck-it Ralph from Canada, who is a college student, a set of purposes for school and gaming with plans for video editing in the near future.
You know a lot of people try and cram their PC on top of their desks. So that way, it’s visible, but doing that impacts the setup, aesthetics and sometimes functionality as well. I respect Ralph’s decision to put the PC near the back so that he can have a cleaner looking setup.
Sometimes you have to sacrifice the location of the PC in order to have a better looking setup. It really comes down to what’s more important for you, so we got a 35-minute ultra wide mounted against the desk and for peripherals. Ralph is rocking the key cool 84s keyboard with blank white key caps, any Logitech G 305 wireless mouse, another really clean keyboard and mouse combo Ferrario he’s actually got a nice selection to choose from other than the persona speakers he’s got a pair of M 40 X’s And Fedele O’s hanging underneath the desk, and we also got the sennheiser HD s up top next to the at2020 microphone Ralph has it all. He even has an audio interface to take advantage of all of that audio gear and finally, powering at all is a custom PC he built inside yet another Linley dynamic case. I think this is like the third one in this episode I kind of lost track. So one here we got the 7700 K with 32 gigs of ram and the Asus GTX 1080 a custom, GPU cooler. I really like the layout of this setup and I think Ralph made a lot of really great decisions. Thank you for entering and that wraps up this episode would upset upwards.
