He only spent one hundred and fifty dollars on this entire setup. We got the usual Linden tabletop from Ikea with the Mickey drawer add-on, and on top of that, we have a single 24 inch monitor from Samsung that he picked up for only $ 14 from he Gigi, which apparently is a Canadian version of Craigslist.
The monitor is sitting on a custom, monitor riser that been made out of spare wood, which he also spray painted in black and red to match the rest of the setup for peripherals he’s rocking a Logitech G 203 prodigy Mouse, which he hooked up to his Razer. Blackwidow stealth edition keyboard, however, you could have just ran the wire underneath the keyboard and alongside the keyboard wire, with a couple of zip ties for a slightly cleaner look. But that’s not a big deal.
Radhiya pen uses the beats solo 2 headphones. However, he does have a pair of old-school Harman Kardon speakers that he found somewhere in his house, which he also painted in black and red. I got ta love his dedication to the color scheme, not just for his setup but for the rest of his room as well.
You know from the bed to the wall, design behind him and even the art hanging on the wall sticks to the black and red color scheme. The cables are managed pretty well underneath the desk. He did use some velcro straps, you tie them all together and I love how he painted the beats solo box, black and red, and he used it to hide some of the chords. That is just genius. The only thing the setup is missing is a laptop stand of some sort, because it does look a bit lonely over there in the corner, maybe even a laptop mat, so that you can position the laptop closer to you for easy access, because it doesn’t look a Bit far from you, but overall I’m really diggin this setup. I love the creativity and the dedication to the color scheme while staying on their a super tight budget well done Ben and thank you for starting off the show. Next up is Dylan from Canada and a very simple setup for gaming and homework it’s being powered by an Acer, nitro, 5 laptop, which is actually this very same laptop.
I gave nathan from season four of setup makeover which my cousin won for him playing siege since Nathan, couldn’t even get a single kill, the world will never forget Nathan and even has the same specs and I 580 300 H and a gtx 1050 TI. What are the odds? I love how he mounted a laptop on a stand, so that not only is the monitor at eye level, but there is now extra space on the desk for both his keyboard and mouse. This is actually a pretty wide desk for just a laptop, so he uses the other side to do homework. We also have a taotronics desk lamp and a pair of sony MDR s hanging from the side that he uses for listening to music, while the HyperX cloud stingers are mainly for gaming. You guys know that phrase roll out of bed well, this set up is the perfect example of that Dylan can quite literally roll out of bed and start gaming when he wants, because this setup is built underneath his bed, that’s pretty cool. Now the bed itself doesn’t fully touch the ground; instead, it hovers a little bit over it, so you can still use it and game at nights while hiding from your parents a pretty interesting laptop bed set up.
Thank You. Dylan for entering coming in at number 3 is Kyle from California and his very modern and productive setup featuring the 2015 13 inch MacBook. It’S very interesting how he set this up, so he has a laptop sitting on a stand and he’s got a 24 inch monitor mounted against the desk right above it, which he centered perfectly with the wallpaper. I love that he’s obviously going with a white theme setup.
So he went with peripherals that will keep the theme consistent. We got the Razer BlackWidow X, chroma key board in mercury white with a matching wireless mouse, the MX master 2s and of course we got. The Goliath has extended chroma mousepad to complete the look. I also like how we added an RGB strip in between the desk and the drawers to give it a nice under glow.
I’Ve mentioned it so many times in previous episodes, but the advantages of going with an all-white color scheme with RGB lighting is that you can switch up the color scheme of the setup. I simply changing the colors of the lighting. I have to say I like how simple and minimalistic he kept the setup.
There wasn’t a lot of unnecessary stuff on the desk. We got some speakers, a wireless charger and a really cool, looking at Kulik RGB clock, which will have some of you asking in the comments section. Where did he get that from because I definitely want one too cables are managed pretty good.
We got a bunch of zip ties holding up the wires together and he tucked away the power strip underneath the desk on the left side and of course I wouldn’t be yet from tech source. If I didn’t it pick about the smallest thing ever, but I feel like going with a white monitor arm would have fit the theme of this setup a lot better since majority of the colors are white, but either way you build yourself. A super clean and minimalistic laptop setup. Thank You. Kyle for entering up next is a fellow Armenian from the Czech Republic. He is a software engineer and he built the setup for programming basic photo and video editing along with casual gaming and entertainment.
I do have to say before we even get into the setup what really grinds my gears is the fact that there was someone out there somewhere part of this design team for this desk that actually designed this wooden desk with blue accents and got the approval to Manufacture it am, i exaggerating, or does this color scheme not work at all? Let me know what you guys think in the comments section anyway, so we got dual 24-inch Samsung monitors mounted against the mall booster organ Amma cask, which has a hidden compartment that can be used to store accessories or gear. It’S kind of like a pencil drawer, but in the shape of a long cylinder, which is pretty cool mess, rob did go with wireless peripherals to minimize cable clutter because he lodged a craft keyboard pair with the MX master 3 and their audio is using a Logitech Mx sound speakers and a pair of Sony headphones hanging from the side of the desk and, of course, the laptop powered in the setup is a beefed-up Dell XPS 15 with an IEEE 999 80 HK processor, 32 gigs of ram and the gtx 1650 graphics card. He did say that it uses the set-up for casual game as well. He actually has a remote play, adapter connected to his laptop along with his ps4 controller, which allows him to connect to his ps4 remotely.
So he can pretty much take a laptop to his bed and game on his ps4 Pro through his laptop, which is pretty cool. And of course we got a look at the cable management. Master up did a fantastic job, routing the cables behind the monitor, mount and grouping them up behind the backboard and away from sight. I couldn’t be more proud, aside from the unusual color scheme of the desk. I think this is a very productive, laptop workstation setup. You built here and it’s pretty cool to see the setups evolution from the very beginning, shot messy mess it up: volu hotkey nakhon, edit cuz, i’m gon na love, bond atom and wrapping up the episode we have Henry from Germany and it’s super clean and minimalist setup That he uses for graphic design, schoolwork and gaming is being powered by an Acer Aspire v5, which he said will be upgraded to a desktop PC will soon. We do have a 27-inch monitor from LG with wireless peripherals. Henry went with the anchor keyboard, which he also stayed in. The notes, will be upgraded to the an pro 2 very soon and we also got the MX master 2 s Mouse, which, from my personal experience, is horrible for gaming. So I would use another Mouse for gaming, like the G 603 Lightspeed.
If you want to stick with a wireless Logitech mouse other than the peripherals, he did his best to keep the setup very minimal while balancing it with a few miscellaneous things like a water bottle and a wireless charger. But why is there a troll face on the wireless charger I’m actually confused? Now, what gesture will you talk about? It’S a pretty simple and straightforward laptop setup.
