what's up guys so I was recently invited by IDI from tech source to participate in his popular death tour series set up Wars where folks and in pictures of their sexy desk setups and people vote on which battle station they feel kicks the most ass in fact the latest episode featuring my personal setup is now live on tech source so go ahead and cruise over there when you get a moment to see how I stack up against the competition also go ahead and subscribe to Ed's channel while you're there if you want to see some crazy PC builds and the plethora of other cool tech videos that he produces on the wreck it's good stuff so now that I'm an official special guest on setup wars I figured I'd give you guys a dedicated set of tour of my main desk area I did give you guys an office tour when I first settled into my place about a year ago but my setup has undergone some changes since then so starting off with the desks themselves my primary desk that holds all my peripherals is this room essential storage desk that I picked up at Target a few years ago for a measly 85 dollars it's not the fanciest but it's well sized for my room looks halfway decent and gets the job done by the way the MacBook came included but I left it at the store because of all the issues that came included with the MacBook my other desk is this Parsons model that I recently got at Big Lots for a hundred bucks for years I had been using this cheap folding table to hold up my desktop that is until I built a new thousand-pound computer named hotline at that point I figured it'd be best not to use a table that's advertised as being collapsible so I pulled the trigger on this big guy for an overall cleaner appearance and peace of mind atop my primary desk are two 27-inch monitors at qx2 7/10 2560 by 1440 IPS panel from qyx and an asus v g2 7 880 144 hertz TN display at 1920 by 1080 when it comes to gaming and video editing both of these displays have served me quite well for the last few years but I'll admit my new Nvidia powered gaming PC has me itching for some g-sync panels so badly that I've begun applying copious amounts of hydrocortisone rectally above my asus monitor is the tried and true Logitech c920 webcam for streaming and video chatting my weapons of choice are the Logitech G 500 games mouse which has been going strong since 2011 and Corsairs k70 RGB with cherry MX red switches the sport is definitely one of today's top choices if you're trying to glam up the theme for your desk area and as you can see I've done just that with a simple two-tone fade that matches my desktop wallpaper fancy naturally for any good setup you also need a hardcore oversized mousepad after all we're computer geeks not Bros and mouse pads are the second best thing to pick up trucks when it comes to overcompensating so here we have my Oris thunder p3 which as you can see boasts quite an impressive length compensated for sound I use a pair of dt 880 pros from beyerdynamic that i hang on a hook behind my desktop more so for me zone sin in my videos than actual practicality these pillow-soft open-back can sound awesome and are absolutely fantastic for pretty much everything when it's time to game with the homies i pair these cans with my antlion mod mic 4.0 which i stick behind my monitor when not in use when I'm not using headphones these bose companion 2 speakers deliver the sound with some hefty bass in true Bose fashion if I have one gripe about my current set-up though it's that my main desk isn't wide enough to fit the left speaker forcing me to place it on this lowly container unit this abhorrent arrangement has brought shame and dishonor to my family for many moons moving on to the right side of the desk area is my Wonderwall of boxes a modern marvel that common folk refer to as trash this modest collection of retail packaging serves the purpose of adding some flair to the background of my videos and quite frankly further enabling my box hoarding obsession on the end of the desk I have my DSLR cine lenses from Rokinon at 24 35 and 85 millimeters that I use to shoot the vast majority of my videos you're looking through my 35 millimeter lens right now they feature a D clicked aperture at a 1.5 f-stop which make them superb in low-light and easily one of the best investments I've made for the channel to date although the prop eyeglasses I bought for nature tech aren't far behind and of course what's a good setup without a fancy-pants tricked-out computer rocking to 59 60 X and 2 gtx 980ti s in sli my custom water-cooled gaming pc hotline is as powerful as she is pretty for weeks after its completion it has finally made its way to my primary desk space replacing my old but still very capable 5820k rig when I began planning the esthetic blueprint for hot line back in June it didn't occur to me that it would later determine the overall theme of my desk area but after finding a matching wallpaper and keyboard effect this RGB LED kit from Ikea was the missing piece to the puzzle to make my setup truly pop the kit comes with four rigid LED strips with the necessary mounting hardware and a remote control that allows you to fade between colors or select your own a very nice accessory that I found through IDI and his videos on text source so thank you Ed for exposing the LED accent whore that I am don't look a bit but
