I think this is Aaron’s fourth time, if I’m not mistaken, all I know is that his last submission was back in episode 313, which was about five months ago, who can forget the unique black and yellow color scheme mixed in with the awesome dark gray wall? It’S definitely one of those setups where you want to do a double take, so the biggest change from the past submission is that Aaron has rotated his setup. So now it’s facing the entrance of his room he’s calling it the command position which allows him to always be aware of his surroundings and what is coming his way. Basically, no more surprise scares from the family or a dog sneaking up on him while he’s wearing his headphones. Personally, I like this change. Not many people can pull off an island type setup, but Aaron here did a fantastic job.
I also love how he decorated the wall behind him. It’S so beautifully done with perfect, spacing Symmetry and lighting. That’S something I’ve always admired about his previous setups, his taste and Decor.
I’M just really hoping you didn’t decide to do a symmetrical design, because that’s what I prefer last thing I want to do is persuade someone to change an aspect of their setup just to get my approval, but I think most of us can agree that your new Design looks much nicer or the very least easy on the eyes. There’S actually another reason why he changed the layout of the setup. You see.
He also has a racing Sim and with the desk being away from the wall, he’s able to bring in the racing wheel with the pedals and pull out the monitor, an effortless transition from his desk setup to the Sim setup. Aside from that, there have been some other major upgrades in the setup like two of his new best friends, the kef q150 speakers that are sandwiching. His new 34 inch Ultra ride from Alienware looks like he’s using the same keyboard and mouse as last time, but picked up a nice looking monitorizer to help keep some of his audio gear organized all.
The cables are channeled, underneath the desk, using a few raceways, with the addition of some acoustic panels on the other side to cover the exposed wires overall, very great work on the cable management for the sit and stand desk. One thing I’m not too happy about is the location of the PC. It has its back facing setup, which is a shame, because it’s a good looking stealth build. I’M curious why you think, having the PS5 and the laptop on the desk takes priority over the custom PC, but I’m sure you have your reasons. I don’t know how you manage to always improve your setup. Every time you come back on the show, it’s very impressive, and this is hands down the best version.
Yet it’s always a pleasure to see you again. Thank you, Evan, for coming back on the show coming at number. Two is Byron: who’s, a software engineering student from Chile and he’s here to show off his media, consuming programming and very cozy gaming setup that took him two years to complete, looks like most of the wall where the setup is located is covered by those white 3dr Panels and then behind him we got a corner shelf holding up most of his Funko Pop collection.
That’S a pretty cool corner shelf, if I say so myself, so we got a t monitor layout perfectly stitched together with a chin facing outwards. You love to see it. I like that Byron went with a sound bar with this type of Marta layout instead of a pair of speakers.
Sometimes it’s about choosing the right products for your setup to maintain a good flow, and I feel like Byron, definitely knows what he’s doing. Here I mean the cable management speaks for itself. This wasn’t necessary since he has a backboard, but it’s nice to see him putting in the extra effort here all the cables lead towards the corner of the desk, whereas custom PC is located – and this is one good. Looking build, that’s packing the ryzen 7 3700x and MSI RTX 3060 TI and a 7-inch display in the back for mostly Aesthetics. It seems but look at the way he wrapped the AIO tubes around the pump. I’Ve never seen that in a build before and I think it looks pretty cool in the notes.
He says that he’s thinking about painting the panels in Gray and would like me to edit them, so he can see what they look like. Well, I think this is a job for my editor, so Mallory show Byron what the panels look like in Gray. Personally, I would stick with white, but that’s just my opinion.
Either way, thanks for coming on the show coming up at number, three is Chester and is mesmerizing sci-fi theme setup from space already, I’m in love with the desk and we haven’t even started so Chester is a business owner from Singapore who built this setup in just Three weeks for the purpose of browsing the web gaming and working from home, I got ta start off and address the amazing custom desk that he built. The surface is made out of real marble and I’m just obsessed with how it looks it gives off a very luxurious look with the glossy reflective top and really complements the theme of the entire setup. But it’s not just the material that was used, but the design of it as well.
It’S very sci-fi with the curves and the floating shelf. On the other side, one really cool mod I like about the desk is the built-in power strip extension. That’S also hooked up to his PC to be used as a USB hub, but the cool part about it is that he added sliding covers on there to keep it hidden when not being used. Dresser also did an awesome job. Staying consistent with the Sci-Fi theme, starting with the 34 inch OLED ultrawide from Alienware and moving down down to the peripherals, I looked everywhere by the way for that keyboard and, ultimately, Discord came to the rescue in identifying it. So this is the custom fekker ik75 and what Drew me to it was a 75 form factor the volume knob and the fact that it’s also Wireless.
It’S such a clean, looking board. I feel, like a wired keyboard, wouldn’t really make sense with this type of setup, especially since the countertop is made out of marble. So Wireless made the most sense here, the devoom portable speaker and the Elgato stream.
Deck is also in light, and it looks like he routed the cable with the monitor towards the back and underneath the desk, but the PC is separated on a side table in the back, it’s off the ground, but still visible and very stunning. We got an i7 12700k paired with an MSI RTX 3080 TI with a couple of streamer plus extensions from Liam Lee I’ll say it again. This is one clean build that fits in perfectly with the theme of the setup. I also love that it colored the Raceway in the same color as the floor, so it Blends in better for audio. There aren’t any speakers other than the echo dot that he uses to play: music wirelessly and the steel series octa-7s for gaming, some other stuff. He has in the setup, is the MacBook Pro for work and a nice white pegboard to help display some of his other gear that he’s not using. We got three awesome custom keyboards with a few mice and an Xbox controller, all within easy reach. I think it did a fantastic job with the decor so far, but there is still a lot of unused space to take advantage of regardless. This is a very refreshing and unique setup.
Thank you, Chester for sharing this with us foreign up next is probably the most nuttiest setup you have seen all year on setup, ores. This insane fully Decked Out, Gamer’s, wet dream. Oasis belongs to Justin who’s, a Senior Systems admin from Malta. He spent about two years planning in one year to complete this Epic Man Cave and it’s actually pretty crazy. How much work has been put into it? 37 pages of PDF files to be exact, illustrating his setup Evolution from the very beginning up until his recent project, which also highlights everything that he’s done behind the scenes? 3D modeling the entire space cutting into the existing walls? To install LED lights, a custom desk and a pretty epic mirror ceiling with RGB accents, and that is just scratching the surface. I can probably make a dedicated video on all the custom work that he put into this man cave. He uses this for pretty much everything from gaming to Media consumption, editing and also working from home. He does all that on the main setup, while the second one is mostly a guest setup.
So we have a 49 inch super ultra ride, as the main display, with two additional 27 inch monitors stacked on top. I actually like this layout a lot it maximizes fov for triple displays efficiently below that we got a wireless Black Widow V3 Pro paired with a basilisk V3 Pro and a few other things for easy access like an Elgato stream, deck XL and a really cool custom Made sensor panel to view his PC’s Hardware information moving on to audio the Logitech z906 speakers that he mounted near the top of the wall are actually shared between all three setups. But when he’s gaming he swaps over to the Razer Kraken V3 Pros, it doesn’t look like Justin sheeped out on the guest setup. It’S also packing some nice specs, like another 49 inch super ultra ride. With a 27 inch, Quad HD monitor up top for peripherals. The guest setup is also rocking a black widow, V3 keyboard, but with a Naga Pro mouse. It’S obvious at this point that it’s really into Razer and Iron Man.
We got the Iron Man glove with the Infinity Stones, a few Funko pops and tons and tons of Iron Man suits scattered all around. But I love the idea of the suits hanging from the walls. The most Justin decided to depict a story through the setup, and he wanted to make it look like the suits were protecting Tony, while performing his final sacrifice with The Infinity Gauntlet, just like in the movie.
Cable Management, as expected, is done very well through meticulous planning and the custom work that was went into building the desk. He installed a few power strips in the wall that reached both setups, but the idea behind these is that he wants easy access in the event that he needs to troubleshoot or replace gear powering. The main setup is a really nice custom. Water cool build rocking a ryzen 9, a 5950x paired with an Rog strix RTX 3090, while the guest PC has a 5th gen i7 and a GTX 1080 TI. I’M sure this entire man cave is every Gamer’s Paradise. It’S packed with the latest gen Parts enough RGB to Blind Thanos himself and tons of personality, but really separates this setup from the crowd is the custom work and the planning that went into it.
All I mean this dude has an RGB Mirror On The Ceiling. That’S not easy to pull off Justin congrats on taking home the 55th seal of approval such incredible work in this man cave. I can tell you really put your heart and soul into this entire project, so hit me up on Discord. If you want to claim you’re one of a kind plaque foreign and His Japanese inspired anime theme setup within the cyberpunk universe, it’s quite an interesting theme for sure.
So Wong is a student and part-time content creator from France and it took him a year and a half to complete the setup for gaming and creating content. We got stack marners with a 30 inch, 200 Hertz on the bottom and a 27 inch 75 Hertz up top both mounted to the IKEA tabletop under that he’s added two monitorizers to help organize some of his gear, as well as create a spot for both his Speakers, since the PC took up most of the space from the desk, but peripherals he’s rocking a custom keyboard with an Orochi V2 mouse and a custom keyboard cable. Ah, look how adorable that coil is such a tiny, cute coil what’s happening speakers, he does own headphones as well, and a Blue Snowball mic for audio input. Despite the small size of the table, he was able to organize everything nicely and keep it clutter free, but the decor man he really went all out. I love the fake grass wall with the Nano leaves mixed in with the other Japanese Decor. If you showed me this picture and told me to guess what location this setup is built in, I would have never guessed France. The fact that you can walk into this room and instantly be transported to Japan with a cyberpunk Twist is pretty damn impressive.
My favorite part of the room is the wall of katanas. On the other side, those look badass and on the other side, is what appears to be a workstation that can either be used to build Gundam models or custom keyboards. I love that the Alex drawer is on Wheels, making it easy to move around. He’S definitely put some thought into this powering it all is a beautiful custom build inside the lean Lee wannabe the NeoCube case, and it’s packing the 10400f with an MSI RTX 3060. That’S been painted to match the theme very nice job.
Look at this point. It’S pretty obvious. You like both anime and RGB, but I’m gon na be the first to say it. I think there was a missed opportunity to add some lighting behind the fake grass. Personally, I would have added spacers behind it and hooked up on an RGB script, just to make it pop a bit more because right now the top half of your setup is really dark and the grass disappears into the wall.
It’S such a cool thing that you put up on the wall, but it’s not being complemented by anything I mean you did the same thing for your pegboard, so I don’t see any reason why you can’t do it for the fake grass, but other than that there Are some other small areas where you can tidy up the cable management like from the RGB poster, but overall it’s a fantastic setup and a very exciting mix between two themes. Job well done and thank you for sharing this with us. As always, let me know in the comment section which of these setups was your absolute favorite from today’s episode.
