okay Jonathan here welcome back to another episode of the best death setup this time we got a $500 budget and compared to the tuna our challenge last time that is quite a bit more to play around with you guys asked for a dark theme death setup so that is what we are rolling with so jump into the desk for this setup I went with a liniment and Alex combo from Ikea in a black brown finish and what I really like about it is the fact that its module in the sense that you can configure the drawer to sit on either side there's tons of space and what the drawer you get three smaller compartments one large compartment and the best thing about slaves is the entire desk is under 130 bucks so next up for those you caught the latest episode of the best tech on our 50 I showcase the bright tech USB desk lamp but actually liked it so much and because two is better than one for this setup I am wrong with a pair I think my favorite thing about this lamp is how simple but aesthetically satisfying it is it looks great next to a computer or monitor and it really adds a ton of warmth and character to the setup I really dig the symmetry of two of these paired on a desk and on top of that they have a stealth USB port on the side that you can use to charge your phone so next up a lab without a light bulb is like peanut butter without jelly lamb without tuna fish and with that said what I'm doing inside these guys is the Philips hue white ambient starter kit and Hugh shot the bills for sponsoring this setup so to make it you get to what MA it's a 19 light bulb a hue bridge which you can then use to expand your system later down the road it was cool as you also get a dimmer switch that you can use to control your lights when you don't want to reach for your phone now the warmth of these lights tare with the lamp creates this really beautiful look that really catches and bounces off the desk beyond the mesmerizing warm light not only they have control from warm to bright white you can also just seem but here we're going from relaxed to read to concentrate to energize you can see how useful this could be depending on the time of the day now just like the last video the computer is not a factor in the price point of the setup thumbs up both are excited to see a non apple computer in the video what I am including with this budget though is a really cool pair of wireless Bluetooth speakers so these be JBL djembe BTS and what I mean by Wireless is they alighted it's the aux cable or a USB cable and connect directly to your computer wirelessly by a bluetooth now you're not going to be able to avoid cables completely because you do need to connect to power and these to each other but having that one less cable does help keep things clean the compact design and the gunmetal ash gray finished look fantastic next to the speakers and the light and while these may not be the biggest speakers in the world they pack a really good punch for the size and are going to be a fantastic upgrade over stock computer speakers now if you're wondering where all those cables when I'm using the exact same Channel cable raceway as the last set up in front of 20 bucks this thing is a lifesaver it attaches to a 3m adhesive to the back of the desk and you can see how well it works you pair that with a couple cable drops and you got a super clean and tidy setup so close it up the setup in the last video I saw a lot of comments in the vein of cool setup bro but where is the chair now because we have a higher budget to mess around with this time I got you so this is a poly embark in style molded plastic chair which is pretty much a clone of the Herman Miller version it's a fraction of the price and honestly most people aren't going to be able to tell the difference if you had these two side-by-side these come in a ton of different color combinations but I think the dark plastic makes the Darkwood legs really complement this setup well but seriously if you've been eyeing that Herman Miller chair but don't want to drop that kind of cash these for under 70 bucks are really really good so that brings us to a grand total of around 460 bucks and that means you have some room to play around with whether it's accessories cable management hell maybe you want to swap out the chair the speakers it is not meant to be an exact piece-by-piece replica for you to copy more so just for inspiration and ideas aside from that I would love to see your setup so hit me up on Instagram Twitter show me what you got and if you haven't seen the last episode or dream desk yet check those out here this is Jonathan and I will catch you guys later
