yeah okay so this is the new desk for the studio we'll go kind of there you'll see that more when we start setting it up but this is from a company called tribe sign I think it's kind of hard to see that far right there but that isn't our this is about a 55-pound desk it's about 20 or so kilograms for those who don't live in the US and we're going to be setting this up we're going to hopefully be able to fit all of our computer gear on top of this desk it should be quite a bit larger and have a bit more surface area than our other l-shaped desk in Louisiana so without further ado let's go ahead and put this thing together and then on up I'll just kind of some impressions as we go you're interested in this desk I have it linked in the video description along with my other desk this one was about a hundred and forty bucks which still isn't bad for an l-shaped desk mind you now this isn't you know top of the line or anything by any means they also have the other else a desk before link in the description as well that one is considerably cheaper it is just a bit smaller not as sturdy as far as I'm aware and I'll confirm that after we put this thing to get it so let's go ahead and do that so you can see what we got here so far this is just basically a metal frame and then those that's plywood or what but that will be our desk surface now this was very simple to install I'm almost finished but I wanted to show you how easy it actually was you can see we have all of these screws here the larger thicker ones are used to hold the metal beams in place those are these these beams here that we are basically locking to you this is like the chassis if you will of the desk sorry about the terrible auto focus and any smaller ones I assume are going to be for holding the wood in place etc so what I want to do is just give you an example how simple this is so I've got this last beam here to connect this is kind of like a footrest you think there's a hallway to the back and it's as simple as funneling the screw through there are a little groove inside here that the screw will catch on to and boom just like that you could included tools as well and it's literally that simple it's really nice this is actually easier to install than my previous l-shaped desk I'm very happy so far with the installation process okay I found one flaw and this is something that I was reading about in the reviews I figured I'd run into this eventually so this hole right here is basically a guide for screw that supposed to go up through there and into basically a little cutout in the board to secure the board to the chassis well this hole is not aligned with the hole drilled in the wood which means that I'm going to have to improvise here I'll probably end up just probably loosening this bolt trying to twist this beam kind of around this way so that I can angle it more toward the cutout in the board let's see how this goes so in addition to purchasing the desk online I also picked up some of these cable sleeves here they're just a Velcro adhesive nothing special about them but you can cut them down to size which is great and they're fairly cheap as well they're also linked in the description so if you want to kind of cable manage as you go not stuff inside your PC obviously but just cables that are kind of sprouting out from your PC or your screen or maybe a receiver something along those lines then something like this is excellent for that and the fact you can cut it down to size is great so that's what I'll be doing I'll be lining kind of just with floorboards here underneath the tables to hide some of those cables just make it look a bit more tidy all right and I'm going to call it quits at this point I think that I've done a good enough job cable managing there's nothing sprawling down behind the desk and I've used one of those velcro DS of things to conceal the cables that are running from the subwoofer and other speaker wires things like that so I'm going to call it kind of like an 8 out of 10 maybe 9 out of 10 obviously I said done much better behind this little plastic shelf thing there are just so many cables going in so many directions back there that there's virtually no way that I can cable manage that without cutting into the wall and hiding things behind the wall so that's just kind of how it's going to be for now maybe if I come across some kind of desk shuffling to put here that has like some kind of backing you can't see those cables just laying down behind it that would be a solution but for now that's about as good as it's going to get I think it looks clean though I think that the setup is is decent considering what I have to use I'm a big fan of this desk I do recommend it I actually prefer this desk more than I preferred the other cheaper desk you get what you pay for here in this case you're paying about twice as much as you would for the other case linked in the description that I used earlier in previous builds here's an example right here but this desk is it just suits my needs better it's bigger it just has more space to work and that's exactly what I need in this room so without further ado here is the new studio will be here will be this way for quite a while thanks for watching and stay tuned for my next video gtx 980ti time with the accelerate version it can be pretty cool I think you'll enjoy that one this is science studio thanks for building with us
