something I've been want to do more on the channel lately is bringing guys some different gaming setup ideas what an excellent they wanted to do with a switch gaming desk setup which this is the kind of basic idea what we'd have you know monitor dog you little knickknacks charging station but I got really bored of the idea and it occurred to me that the switch really is a traditional gaming system you know a lot of the stuff that we've done in setups in the past don't necessarily have to apply to the rules of the switch so I thought instead of doing something traditional like this what if we did something a little bit different the idea here is to do away with any kind of entertainment console or desk or any kind of actual main thing to put the system on instead just build the whole thing on the wall now for here in this room I decided I want to make use of the support beam this isn't necessarily an option for everyone obviously so a lot of this can also be done on a wall we'll walk through all different options but first we need to actually put a TV up here now if you're going to set up on a trigger flat wall you can just make use of any kind of TV wall mount setup but since we're using a beam here we're instead going to be using a car bleeding clamp this is just something that's used in a lot of different like TV set stuff we had it lying around and it fit our purposes but there's plenty of other options out there so we're just going to set that up right here alright so we get that fastened on there so now let's go get our TV okay so I lied a little bit when I said TV we're not actually going to use a TV we're going to use a monitor this monitor which actually features recently in my back school gaming accessories video it's a 1080p monitor all you really need to the switch don't exactly have to worry about stuff like 4k so color sharpness all good everything we want in a switch monitor okay next we need to find a way to secure our switch talk to the wall though there's a few ways you can go about this but the way that I've chosen to go with our command strips this is a really simple and easy way to attach to the back of this give a way to remove it easily later if you need to and to be nice and securely safe on here a single one of these is meant to support sixteen pounds of weight considering that a switch in the dock with joy cons is about a pound and a half one is more than enough but also considering the 300 system I'm going to use two anyways make sure this is centered we want to before we press down too hard and we might have to seal that now we stop to take care of some cabling and stuff but really these two objects alone are pretty much all you need for a functioning switch setup but you can add more stuff if you like I mean you can have shelves put amiibos or you know places to store extra controllers or other accessories for me the bare minimum that I'd like to add is a place to charge additional joy cons so I want to keep it this whole vertical aesthetic going on to probably have it down here relative because this is going to be ridiculous that's just silly don't do that that's a dumb idea so yeah probably down around here next is everyone's favorite part of any setup table management now thankfully this is a very light setup as far as cables go there's really only four we have to worry about there's power for the TV power for the switch HDMI from the switch to TV and there's gonna be a USB charge cable running from this charge dock right here into the switch now if you're doing this against the wall there's a couple ways you can do this you could arrange the cables in a ways it's actually kind of artsy and cool-looking or you can just hide it using conduit here those since we're using this support beam all we can do is just hide them right behind so we've got all the functional bits set up but it's created this rather nice-looking minimalist setup but what's the point being this minimalist if there's just something a little extra make it really stand out so we want to add one more thing to make it a lot more flashy Huw strips set up inside of the support beam right now we're going with colors that match the joy columns and give a lot more separation between the setup and the wall behind it so there you have it a minimal switch setup the next use of no shelves no desk no entertainment console just an open wall that you have available which is really kind of the beauty of it it's a simple setup that shows you don't need to have a lot of stuff and it's really customizable if you do want to add more things I mean this is just kind of the basic kit right here but you can add additional shelves or companies to do things like hold extra joy cons pro controllers display amiibos all kinds of options that the way this setup can be adapted to different living situations which is really just the beauty of it
