Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, everyone. And welcome to episode 198, almost 200 of the NCC podcast, the official podcast of the NCC community. This podcast quarter live on Fridays at 10 a.m. Pacific Standard Time on the official NCC Twitch is available to stream on demand on Apple Podcast, Spotify, SoundCloud. My name is Mike. It was me, as always, is Ivan. How are you doing, Ivan?
Starting point is 00:00:21 How I do, Baby Boo? Happy Friday. I didn't realize it was episode 198. So we should probably start thinking about doing something. been special for episode 200. It's going to be in a couple weeks. I mean, we got a lot lined up, so one of those will be a very fun one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:40 Yeah, thank you, everyone, for tuning in to another episode of the NZEXE podcast. Today, we're going to do something that is always a hit. It's always one of my favorite type of streams, and it's where we rate people's gaming setup. So you can still get in on the action. go to our Twitter page. You'll find the tweet and just post a peculiar setup. We may get to it during this stream. We may not.
Starting point is 00:01:09 We don't know. We'll try our best. We'll try to get through as many as possible. Everyone who submits a picture will be entered into a raffle to win a coveted NXD Pucci plushy. Don't ask what the hole is for. I don't know why it's there, Mike. All right.
Starting point is 00:01:31 I think that's it. There's no other really announcement. Oh, the other announcement, if you want to win a Poochie plush by tuning in live, type exclamation giveaway in the chat. You'll get a link. So you don't have to submit your setup either. If you're tuned in live, just drop in your,
Starting point is 00:01:48 drop in an exclamation giveaway in the chat. You'll forget the link. Yeah. And if you are here in the chat and you have submitted it, just DM me on Twitch or on Twitter. I'll see if we can get to it. You will have to reply and just send the link out of your post in the chat. And I will try to get to it.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Yes. All right. Let's start it, Mike. All righty. Let's pull up the first one. And obviously, we got to go Dana with her beautiful setup right here. EDITEC. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:24 Yeah. So, um, For those who don't know who this is, Dana is a social media manager in Mexico. I think she's a social media manager. I think she might actually be involved in running the company too. I'm not 100% sure, but she runs the DD Tech social media. She has her own handle that's really popular. but she has a really nice setup.
Starting point is 00:02:57 She posts some funny content too, so you guys should follow her if you're not already. All right. We're going to rate the setups out of 10, right? Yes. So, you know, it's your personal preference. You know? Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Because I know both of us have our own ways of doing things. Yes. So I'm going to give this setup a, I'm going to give it a nine, out of 10, all right? And here, I'll tell you what I like about it. So first of all, I love the L shape in the corner. Love it, because you essentially have two gaming setups
Starting point is 00:03:45 in one, right? So you have your laptop on the left, and then you just swivel your chair, and then you have your gaming slash streaming setup on the right with your microphone and everything. Everything is nicely organized. I'm also a huge fan of vertical monitors, which she has. I'm not the biggest fan of those super ultra white screen monitors, to be honest,
Starting point is 00:04:07 but I've, you know, I guess it's like, I would rather have two monitors than just a really long one, but it is what it is. But the reason I'm going to deduct one point, Mike, is because I don't like how the window is behind that desk with the curtain there, because you can't open the curtain. You're going to have to like climb over your desk and try to open that thing. And I just imagine myself trying to do that and I'm pretty clumsy.
Starting point is 00:04:37 So I would probably, you know, not want to put this in the corner with the window. Yeah. Oh, Dana's here. Yeah. So I was going to say, yeah, I think from my thing, I'd easily give us a 9.5. So cable management on point. I actually am a big fan of the widescreen monitors. So I'm a big fan of it.
Starting point is 00:05:00 So I like how like basically the stream that was on the right. Also, I'm looking at the PC and the cable management, like I don't see any like, obviously the chairs in the way, but the cable management is really good for something that's on the center desk. Usually like for my, like I haven't done any cable management yet. So like all my cables are just frayed out onto the right side. So I'm very impressive at being centered at the killmanch was really good. I do see a loose cable in the center there. For like an elevated desk, you got to have at least water two cables because you got to have some slack. So I'm not I'm not that thing.
Starting point is 00:05:42 But yeah, the only thing that's a thing is the the blackout curtains having to like cover the window. I'm a little like I did a bunch of research on feng shui or um because like technically my windows oh yeah by the way I moved to a new place um so I have my own office so I have like a window here and my back left and usually I would have put my desk there but I had to deal with the glare and technically you don't want to have um your PC right next to a window because it could overheat especially here in Vegas. So I'm gonna have to give this a 9.5 just because of the the way the layout is it's not really their fault. It's just how it is. It's just the thing. Doxing? You can come find me in Vegas. Danna, you're here. Tell us in the chat, how do you open that curtain? Or do you open that curtain? We must know. I like I love the setup though because like look at how the, uh, from the other side. Oh, so opens it over here to the left. I love Oh goes both ways
Starting point is 00:06:51 Since Dan is here I have another question To ask her Why do you always wear gloves I've noticed you're always wearing gloves In your video I like them I'm just curious
Starting point is 00:07:02 Why you're always wearing gloves She has like A fingerless gloves In all her videos I should probably Give her an extra half point For the fingerless gloves I'll increase my
Starting point is 00:07:17 9.5 Yeah My signature. Gotcha. I think I have this exact same chair, actually, before I broke it. That's how to get a new one. I think I had the same exact chair for my setup. Oh, beautiful.
Starting point is 00:07:34 All righty. Keep that one, nice one. Yeah, so if you guys want to submit your setups, reply to the post and then just DM it to us, and I'll try to get to it. Let me pull up. And follow Dana. Oh, yes. Follow DD Tech and Dana. too.
Starting point is 00:07:52 All right from, yep, just taco. I like the finger. Ooh, I like the, this is a little weird, though.
Starting point is 00:08:05 I don't like how the monitor is so close to the desk. Like, I'm a big fan of, like, your monitor being pushed a little bit back.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Because, like, I don't, I don't like when people have the, the me where they're, like, gaming their faces,
Starting point is 00:08:23 like, directly here. So I'm not a big fan of it, but condensing everything, PC's on top, big fan of that, not on carpet, working with such you got big, big mouse pad. Yeah, you know, I give us a good, you know, five is like standard, like, you know, whatever. I give just a good, like, seven. All right.
Starting point is 00:08:46 So it's a very functional, uh, gaming setup. It does, it has everything you need. The only thing I don't like about it is it just feels very compact, you know, like it feels like very cramped. Yeah. And you could tell it is it is cramped because the primary monitor is overlapping, the vertical monitor. So that, and it's also, I don't know, maybe it's not that cramped, but the picture is like just zoomed in really close. I can't really tell. But that's one thing.
Starting point is 00:09:24 It just seems cramped. I don't know. It can really can't really not get too much, to be honest, because we did ask for gaming setups, and it does look like a gaming set-ups. I'm with you, man. I think I'll give it a 7 out of 10.
Starting point is 00:09:39 I wish I had a wider view of it, but not bad. Yeah. Where did DM you? You could DM us on Twitch or, oh, Cyrus, I think you sent me the Twitter post. Can you send me your post? Looks like we have some people that are sending us their stuff.
Starting point is 00:09:57 but yeah i you know i give us a good seven i think it's fine i think if there's a way to like push it back maybe hold the desk out and then push the monitors back a little bit i think that'll help i i miss having carpet in my house every time i see carpet i always wish i i i want carpet so bad it's just it just feels better too you know and in my opinion it looks clear especially with my dog my dog that sheds a ton like on the on our really like you see it's like dark hardwood floor you can see every little speck of hair yeah you can still post your setup uh just comment underneath it reply with your setup and then uh just dms on twitter or on twitch all right from miss pumpkin pie all right so right off the bat i'm gonna give them a bonus point
Starting point is 00:10:51 because they have a big a bobblehead on top of their pc and i'm a huge baseball nut the angels are my second favorite team. I am a Dodger fan, but I still root for the Angels. So yeah, bonus point just for that. So this setup is pretty legit, man. Like I love how it's color coordinated with the big pink mouse pad that covers basically the entire desk, pink keyboard, pink mouse, pink gaming controller, next to a white gaming controller. with pink accents, the pink wallpaper, the pink chair, the pink boom arm, the pink microphone, the pink RGB, awesome, love it. They even have the pink underglow that's like behind the desk, very subtle. I dig it too. Cable management on point, although it could probably be cleaned up a little
Starting point is 00:11:51 bit because you see some cables under the right monitor there that are crossed, but not too bad. I also I also love that they put their gaming PC on a separate, looks like a little table or something. Oh yeah, it's kind of like an L-shaped desk, I think. Yeah, and I love that because, you know, I am a firm believer in putting your PC on anything but the floor. So, kudos for that. What else? I think that's basically it, man. You know, I think this is going to be for me, an eight out of it.
Starting point is 00:12:29 10 what do you think yeah i i was literally i was thinking of the number eight out of 10 i'm on it like right there the modern arm yeah i agree the modern arm is really cool i really like how clean it looks right here um love the camera the only thing i'm docking points on personally is i don't like having um stuff on top of the vents you know if it's you know it could hurt airflow a little bit um but gosh i i absolutely love L-shaped desk. I still wish I had my L-shaped desk because having the L like specifically for like your PC or to put stuff on it is so helpful. I mean I have a six-foot desk alone and I want like an L-shaped desk. Love the pink love the clean look. I honestly a pink monitor arm with a pink mic is such a vibe and I love that. I've never seen a pink monitor arm I've never seen a pink monitor arm before it's always like ours is like I'm using black Most people have it as black or maybe silver, but like I've never seen a pink one with a pink.
Starting point is 00:13:33 So, well done. Mike, I need you to tell me if I am too enthusiastic or if Killbell is just being sarcastic and I need to kick it up a notch. Maybe you need kick it up a little bit. Seriously? I had like three cups of coffee already. Who would be DM? You can DMNXT on Twitch or on Twitter. You could do either one. I actually just got a Twitter submission so we'll get to that but yeah I'll get this a good 8 out of 10
Starting point is 00:14:02 I love it though I honestly the pink is such a 10 out of 10 I love that this is from Hibbs Kelbel oh yeah they're in chat right now this is their setup right here now it's my my turn to get revenge
Starting point is 00:14:22 yeah time to time of roast All right, Kelbel, your cable management is terrible. Look at that rat's nest behind your PC. Is that enthusiastic enough for you, buddy? Yeah, that cable management, man, like, that's honestly, like, the only word I can think of, honestly, is it's sad. Because you obviously have a really nice gaming PC, you know? You obviously care about, you know, your vibe here, because you have the,
Starting point is 00:14:55 the nice lighting and whatnot. You have the RGB mouse pad, RGB keyboard, RGB mouse, you have your stream deck, RGB in your PC case and all that. And then boom, like a giant rat's nest right in the middle of all that.
Starting point is 00:15:12 You should be ashamed of that. So that's one. And then also, I hate the fact that you're using the default Windows 11 wallpaper. Like, come on, bro. Like, if you're going to spend all that money on the fancy lights and the fancy, you know, peripherals and all that, you can take 15 seconds out of your day and update that wallpaper to something. Yeah, the old school wallpaper. It's goaded.
Starting point is 00:15:43 So, yeah, I'm going to give this a 5 out of 10 because the cable management just horrible, man. Sorry. Fix it. I think I'll give this a good six. Five is like baseline. So I'll give six. I think you have what it takes to have the good setup, right? Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:16:05 $10 like here. I'll show. You could just use cable manager bars like these, or you could just like hide the cables inside this. You could do these like kind of like, I don't even know what material these are, but these are amazing because you just, put the cables in and they stay like this.
Starting point is 00:16:26 This, uh, for, oh, and of course, either Velcro or regular zip ties. I use Velcro because I get that can reuse them. Spend like five, 10 months. It's worth it. It's, it helps a lot. So yeah, I think this, I think if you, I know you want to show off the PC, but I think if you rotated it. So it's like this way, you could easily, uh, cable management a lot.
Starting point is 00:16:55 lot easier. I love that I I'm a big fan of having your PC like this. However, because the cables come out the back, it's really tough to like deal with. Because it's like if you turn it the other way like facing, you can kind of easily route it into back. But if it's like that, it's kind of, oh, I can't rotate it because of the second monitor. Um, you can get, uh, I actually have the safety guy. I have my third monitor over here to my left. There, they have like 10 foot ones. You could get like a 10 foot hdmite again not needed but if you have to you know if you want to make it a little cleaner you can do that um but i honestly the rgb's greats i hey i got to give some props for the water bottle right here stay hydrated you know i respect that how how could you even tell us a water
Starting point is 00:17:41 plug. Oh, you know what? Sorry. Here you guys. It's a little, it's zoomed out on my screen, but I, honestly, yeah, I think you have the steps to do it. Six out of ten for now. If you fix the cable management, easy seven out of ten.
Starting point is 00:17:59 And I think if you work, is your gaming monitor the one in the middle or the left? Because it looks like, I don't know if it's just the lens or the camera angle, but it looks like the middle monitor is, is, Is it smaller than the left? Chad is still left?
Starting point is 00:18:15 Yeah. And this could, it is smaller. And I didn't point that out, but it is. And it also grinds my gears a little bit. And I think, and you ask someone who actually positions. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:28 So it is the same. It is the same. Okay. Because I was just like, is the gaming monitor smaller one? Because I feel like it should be switched. But if it's fishide, that's totally fine. Got it. An easy way to make this a 10 would be to,
Starting point is 00:18:44 yeah, number one, clean up the cable management, but then move the monitor over more. So it's basically touching the back of the PC, which will also help hide the cables. Oh. The left monitor, you make it vertical. And then boom, you'll get a 10 out of 10 from me. I actually prefer not having,
Starting point is 00:19:06 because I could easily make one of my, I actually prefer not having a vertical. monitor. It's a little weird, but like I prefer having the all three as this because it's easier to like if I want to move if I need to move stuff to it like the vertical monitor, it's a little tougher than just having all three horizontal. So I'm not the biggest fan of having a vertical monitor even though I know the benefits of it but maybe I shouldn't make this vertical monitor. I can't I can't use my computer without a vertical monitor around. wireless
Starting point is 00:19:39 HTML? I feel like there will be some latency issues with that unless you use it for like chat and stuff
Starting point is 00:19:45 that's not bad yeah there you go comes included with latency that's what I was thinking there could be
Starting point is 00:19:49 some sort of weird thing but if it's for the left side monitor where you're just talking about
Starting point is 00:19:54 chat that's not bad that's not bad one okay we got some others in chat um
Starting point is 00:20:02 oh hold on stereotyped I cannot not view this one. It's just a blank. So you may have to post it on Twitter and then just send me the link. Looks like you'll have to do it that way.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Okay, let me see what other message. Oh, cool. We got Wiseman. Got one. All right, Wiseman. Beautiful. Thank you, Wiseman. Let's see what you got.
Starting point is 00:20:32 So from Gamer, Zars, or Wiseman. I'll rotate it over a little bit. It's a little blurry. So I don't know if you'll be able to see too much, but, I mean, based on the RGB alone, love the vibes. What game do you think this person plays? Hmm. Cyberpunk? I feel, I feel like they play, play probably a game with the controller.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Because I imagine they're playing video games on that top one, and you can't really play with your keyboard or mouse looking up like this, I don't think. And I think they probably lean back playing me. But anyway, I don't really know what to think about this setup, to be honest, because part of me likes the RGB, but then the other part of me is just like, it's just, I don't know. It doesn't seem like it's needed here. I don't know. I really wish people would show us the full setup, not just like a zoomed-in picture of the thing. But I don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:53 I feel like it cannot use this setup, man. Like the three different size monitors, two of them stacked on top of each other. I don't know. What is that a headset stand on the left there? I don't know what that is. A speaker. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:08 Yeah, I can't tell too much. of this. It just seems like a weird setup. And also, there's not enough space for the mouse, you know? Like, it looks like there's only like six inches between the keyboard and the case. The keyboard is like on the edge of the mouse pad. I don't know. It just seems like an uncomfortable setup to me, to be honest.
Starting point is 00:22:30 I wonder, so I assume gaming's this one. Yeah, it's a little dark, so it's a little tough. PCs here, mouse is here. So I can't see too much. but I'm not sure it just feels so far apart right these monitors I feel like if you condense them a little bit and make it feel like it flows a little more without having too many spaces as of now I can't see too much of it but I do like having the monitor on top though like like like like like like Dan said like I like having the I would love to have a monitor on top because then I could just put
Starting point is 00:23:04 stuff up there and just having the background but it won't get in the way of work Like I could put like YouTube videos or like my music up there or something like that. I'm not a, I'm not a believer in multitasking. I think multitasking is a myth, to be honest. So that's what it kind of, it just seems like a weird setup. I don't even know what I would use three different monitors for. But I don't know. It just seems really weird and uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:23:30 So I'm going to give it a five out of ten. I'll give this a four out of ten. I can't see too much of it. but maybe if you can send us a clear photo, maybe we can work with that. But we do have two more people in chat that actually sent us some visible ones. I think we should do this one from Cyrus to Wise. Oh, I don't know if you're ready for this, Ivan. This may be this is what, like they say, this is a peak gaming setup.
Starting point is 00:24:04 Let me see. Already now we're talking. Look at this. Oh my God. Dude, I don't know. I think this is our first 11 out of 10, y'all. Right off the bat, I'm going to deduct some points simply because your bed is not made. Oh, my God, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Seriously, because I think not making your bed says a lot about you. And what it says is that you're not in control of your life. I'm serious what I mean that Like if you're the type of person That just wakes up and goes about your day Without making your bed You're probably You know
Starting point is 00:24:52 Late to work Blacking at school You know Probably not going to the gym on a regular basis Probably eat a lot of junk food And I really do think that man Because the people that wake up early And like you know you make your bed
Starting point is 00:25:09 and you make sure that it's nice and tidy. It shows discipline. It shows commitment. It shows that you actually care about keeping your life in order, even though no one's going to see it, right? So yeah, so I'm going to deduct some points for not making your bed. However, I will give you some points because I feel like at one point in every gamer's life, they had a setup like this.
Starting point is 00:25:37 I know I did. I actually have my setup at home. It's just basically like it is to be honest. But yeah, I mean, I'm not going to knock someone for having a laptop, but, you know, if you're gaming, if you have to game on your bed, the very least you can do is make your bed, you know, change your sheets. Wow, so wrong. Don't do it.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Just being honest, man. Like, if you're going to be that guy, or girl like just make the bed and at least keep it nice and tidy so I'm gonna give this a three out of 10 I think I got I think who said that in chat someone said cable management's on point that is true only one cable so I gotta give this I gotta give this plus one for any cables is there taxes photo on the desktop can we how do I zoom I can't zoom in on to it. I do I do agree that is this a
Starting point is 00:26:43 is this like an actual like thing for like cooling like is this an actual base for cooling or is it just like you just have it and look. However I don't know if you should use your mouse your laptop like bag as the mouse pad unless it is specified for that which is a plus one for me. Lego base plate that's what I thought. okay.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Mike, do you make, do you make your bed? I try to. Sometimes I don't. Sometimes I do. I need it. That says a lot about you, Mike. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Yeah, I was wondering if there's a Lego base plate. I'm trying to... I mean, I'm not, I'm not trying to... I'm not trying to be mean to Cyrus the Wise here, but, I mean, there's a reason why, like, in the military, they...
Starting point is 00:27:36 That's one of the things they hammer in your head is, you know, make your bed and they inspect it. They make sure that your bed is nice and tidy without a wrinkle in the sheets because it helps you be disciplined. And I don't know. I'm not saying you need to do it, but that's just my two cents. It is all opinion-based here. I try to read all the games that you got. I see you have OBS. Do you stream on a laptop?
Starting point is 00:28:04 I'm actually surprised if you can. I see Overwatch right here. I can't recognize the other games. Key Fortress, I see that one. I see EA. Got your stuff up there. Pretty, yeah, I'm asking what your sensitivity to do that. Because you say you actually use it.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Pretty high for the mouse, at least. In-game, it stays at 1.0 by turn up on the mouse. That's insane. Oh, yeah. Let's see. 1080. Oh, you see radion. Yeah, it is.
Starting point is 00:28:37 Like I said, I'm not I'm not knocking the laptop I'm sure the laptop's fine It's just The bed Well I mean yeah If you're gonna game on your bed I mean at least make your bed Somewhat you know
Starting point is 00:28:50 Organized Oh this is actually UFOs in chat has a Very interesting thing Not hating but serious question Who puts direct game icons on desktop Do you put direct game icons on On uh
Starting point is 00:29:06 I actually I pin them to my task bar. Yeah, I have my task bar down here. You guys can't see it, but I have it down there. Like, I have like, well, not games, but I have like Steam and everything like that. I don't have direct games. I'm wondering if, uh, you do stream. Wow.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Dang, laptops are games are so strong now. You know what? Just for that, can we follow Cyrus the Y? Oh, yeah, Cyrus. What's your, uh, send us your Twitch. We'll follow you on the, uh, well, isn't their Twitch we're on Twitch right now
Starting point is 00:29:40 I'll say I'll follow I'll follow them on our Twitch channel Yeah we should Follow them turn on the Nodies And then This is my switch sweet Follow And then we will
Starting point is 00:29:54 I want to tune these streams I'm actually surprised That laptops can stream well That well enough Because when I tried streaming on my old PC. I had a hard time turning. And it was a decent PC back then too.
Starting point is 00:30:11 So I'm actually very surprised that laptops had the capacity to do it now. So, oh yeah. Does it start to get really hot when you stream? Because I know laptops, you know, obviously they get hot because, you know, they don't have like a cooler, like a CB cooler. That's not true, Mike. I actually posted a picture of a laptop with a cooler. Oh, yeah. on Twitter today
Starting point is 00:30:35 so you know what not bad I'll give this a good 4 out of 10 I think it's a good gaming setup it works I mean it does get wrong but not terribly so
Starting point is 00:30:48 I'm on low size and low FPS heavy so pack the loss and hold fast but that's used some bad internet dang that's actually really impressive I gotta give that some credit
Starting point is 00:30:56 so yeah I'll give us a good 4 out 10 you know it's gaming it works you could stream on it which definitely gives me a plus So yeah, well done. I'm honestly impressed with how this,
Starting point is 00:31:09 like laptops are getting so much stronger. I'm actually very, very surprised. I need to see the other view, the metal chair they sit on. Oh yeah, you had the metal chair. Can he DM us the metal chair? Because I am very curious to see what the metal chair is. But while we wait for that, I will go ahead and this is from Stereotype.
Starting point is 00:31:30 I think is the correct way of saying their name. Oh, they have a poochie up here. A nice little Gucci up here. Sorry, every one, one, so very big dubs. All right. So I like this setup, but there's things I don't like about it. So what I don't like about, well, I guess what I like first, I like that they make good use of a small space, right? Because there's a lot going on here.
Starting point is 00:32:07 You got your PC, your monitor, your boom arm, your head. set, your little speakers. They keep clutter off of there as much as possible with that little shelf on the right. I don't know what's in there, but you know, it's somewhat clean. But what I don't like is I feel like the mouse pad should be bigger just so you can move the keyboard a little bit out of the way. Because right now, like the way it's set up is your keyboard and mouse and are basically get on top of each other and then right on top of that is the boom arm with the microphone. So I don't even know how you would type, to be honest. I would move that boom arm to the side just so it's a little bit, you know, more space
Starting point is 00:32:58 efficient. And then rather than putting my headset on the desk, which, you know, like I mentioned, the desk is pretty small, I would just hang the mic or I would hang the headset on the, on the mic arm itself. These little speakers, I don't know, like I kind of, I have a love-hate relationship with these little guys because sometimes they sound really good,
Starting point is 00:33:26 something they sound really bad. I don't know which ones these are, but let's just say they sound good. So I'm going to give this setup a six out of ten. I'm curious. What is this? thing underneath your desk. It looks like it's like hollowed out the desk.
Starting point is 00:33:45 Did you put something here? I'm very curious what this is. And yeah, what's this light above as well? Is this like a, is this like a nightlight or something like that? Or it's like at a certain time it like turns on. But yeah,
Starting point is 00:34:02 I mean, I'm gonna get this. I mean, H5, good old H510. Love that. Mouse pad, you know. It's small, but in my opinion, that's as big as you need.
Starting point is 00:34:14 I have the full desk one, but you don't need a full desk one. I made that desk with a mirror infinity effect, but the LEDs broke. Oh, that's cool. So this is, this is, so the LEDs broke here, but this should be, oh, that's very cool. I like that. You add a little custom to your thing. One monitor, got what you got, uh, what you got, uh, what you got. if you can do two monitors, two monitors can change your life.
Starting point is 00:34:42 But again, not everyone can just go get a second monitor. But two monitors, straight up, life changing. I've never, once I upgraded to a second one, like I just grab my dad's old, old office monitor and uses my second one, life changing, straight up. Like, I want like 10 monitors if I could, but, you know, having a second monitor really does help a lot. Clean PC, though.
Starting point is 00:35:06 I mean, you got to give some cross. to the PC though like oh yeah that's wow cable management and the things really well done I'm actually very impressed I love those gigabyte cards too I know I do too the white on white so I gotta give a plus one for that having poochie on top obviously gotta have a plus one for that breaking news Mike Cyrus the wise sent the metal chair oh beautiful I'll pull it up I'll pull it up right now yeah let's see but uh I mean I'll give this a good 6.5. I think there's a lot of room for improvement. Obviously, I agree. I think maybe if you move the monitor or the boom arm to the left and did it that way,
Starting point is 00:35:49 I think that will help a lot with like just ease of cable management. But I mean, a good 6 out of 5 out of 10. I think it's great. I think it's a good start. Obviously there's room for improvement, but I mean, it works. And the PC itself is very clean. So I got, I got. got to give some props to that. Okay. Oh, here's the, here's the, here's the chair and avatar posters. By the way, I got to give an extra point just for the avatar posters because the Jasmine Dragon, uh, posters, that's, that's awesome.
Starting point is 00:36:29 I honestly, this nature actually looks pretty comfy. I'm not going to lie. But I assume you're like hunched over, right, Cyrus? Like you're, you're kind of like this. because I think you're not giving this because of how the chair is. So a little uncomfortable, but I do love the pillow. Very good for your butt. Yes.
Starting point is 00:36:50 I'll give him a point for the pillow. Yeah, I got to give a point for the pillow. I do lean for knees on bed, kind of. Oh, okay, so you can be a little. Yeah, you know what? I think it works out. I think it works out. Pillow does look very comfy.
Starting point is 00:37:06 I kind of want that pill for my butt right now. All right. Let's see who it got. Let's see who we got. Okay, Ricky Reload. And we'll see some of the ones that I have saved because there's some really cool. There's some really cool ones I do want to point out.
Starting point is 00:37:24 You know, actually, let's go see some of the cool ones that it has saved up. Oh, yeah. We got to do Neas. Neas is beautiful. This is Nias. Very clean setup. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:41 Is that a butterfly, like a mouse pad? I don't know if this is a mouse pad. I don't think it's mouse, but I think it's like a design because I think she's a console gamer because I don't see any, um,
Starting point is 00:37:55 I don't see any, uh, uh, like mouse or keyboard. Yeah, so that's exactly like how are they using their PC. I wonder how they are using it. Oh yeah, here. Let me see.
Starting point is 00:38:06 Um, oh, okay, so it is a mouse pad. It is from Mucco Studio. It's the most beautiful mouse pod I've ever owned. Wow. That is a really cool.
Starting point is 00:38:20 It's under. You can see it. Yeah. This is an awesome setup, man. I'm a big proponent. Oh, the keyboard and a mouse are right here. My bad. I'm a big proponent of having those elevated shelves for your monitor because
Starting point is 00:38:37 because of posture. You know, I actually have one of those on my setup here at work. And I know there's a big difference when I'm not using them. Like right now I don't have one here in the podcast room. And my neck is like looking down. And after, you know, using the computer for a couple hours, like the back of my neck actually does start hurting. So I love it. I also love how it's the PC is like just tucked away in the corner there.
Starting point is 00:39:09 You know, it's not like front and center and it's just kind of there. along with the boom arm. So everything's kind of out of the way. Not taking up too much space. Yeah, man. I think this is a 10 out of 10 for me. This is just like a very clean, minimal setup. Not, no clutter, not a messy cable in sight.
Starting point is 00:39:31 So, yeah, this is a 10 out of 10. Yeah, I got, I mean, I literally have, I don't have any. I'm trying to think, yeah, I don't, I don't think I have any complaints about this because like I'm looking at this. It's clean. This mouse pad is one of it. That is such a cool mouse pad.
Starting point is 00:39:53 Functionally, I'm not sure how well it is because, you know, if I'm going down here, I can get off. But like, honestly, I think you just kind of take sub functionality just because it's a it's a mouse pad, a butterfly mouse pad is so cool. Mike, one minute. Can you rate the next one without me? I'll be right back. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:12 Rudy, but the thing, so we found it. I didn't see it, but thank for people in the chat. The keyboard and a mouse are underneath there. So it's just for like cleanliness. So this like stage here is actually like not just elevating the setup and, you know, adding like the speaker and like a holder. It also is like hiding the, uh, the keyboard of mouse. So God, I got to give, I got to give this a 10 out of 10, right?
Starting point is 00:40:37 Like, I mean, are the, the LED cable? for the GPU and the CPU. Another controller, the camera. This lens is probably really nice. It's probably like a $1,000 lens or something like that. Really nice setup. Chromy, obviously. You gotta have it.
Starting point is 00:41:01 I gotta give a 10 to 10. I mean, sheesh. That is such a nice. That is like one of the nicest setups, I think. I think we should all use this setup as like a way to, like utilize like we want to see this in our setups like a good reference yeah the color scheme the flow is just inspo thank you inspo that's the that's the way it was like not enough ratness yes I think this is one of those ones that can like come out here I think it's based on the fish eye
Starting point is 00:41:35 lens it looks like it's far away but when you actually move it closer it's not that far away I think just based on the fish eye but god this is great setup uh let's see uh you know what we'll go to we'll see the uh the one that we've got sent in check from ricky reload all right rickie let's see what you got all right since i was i here i will show this one all right oh okay so you got an audio mixer ooh nice i'm a big fan of wrist so i got to give that a plus I like how you're streaming it So this is like a live view This is really weird
Starting point is 00:42:13 This is I can literally see myself This is really odd Um Nice Oh it looks like you're using an NCC Cracken Dub This is I think if I remember correctly Jay's 2 Sence made a video about this
Starting point is 00:42:28 And technically this is the best way If you're doing a front one This is actually the best way For your cables So I will give that A plus one because if I remember correctly That is good I see you've done some good
Starting point is 00:42:39 cable management here i like that i mean so remember five is like a like a baseline this is like it's just the thing it just works definitely not that this is definitely the green the cable management the clean the the the desk you got to give some points to that you know what i agree crispy it's very uh cozy you know like i could like just like you know have like my little cup of coffee or like a like a hot chocolate and then just like sit there for a while watching some things or playing some games with my friends i could be on this for a couple hours easily i would love if you could have a second monitor again i know not everyone could do a second monitor but god i love second monitors it helps so much i'm not good dock points on that but if you could add one you know what you
Starting point is 00:43:30 could help also if you had a second monitor what this could do is you could use the second monitor as like a way to block the cables and then push this over to the left a little bit it'll help so much trust me but i think i could do this a good seven out of ten i mean i i have the only come like i don't really have complaints about this just things to upgrade but i mean gosh the green rdb honestly i may change my rtb to this green uh it's it's just nice this is just a nice green oh perfect tie Perfect timing. What do you think about this one, Ivan? All right.
Starting point is 00:44:11 So let's see. Let me take it in. By the way, sorry, I had to hop out for a minute. Oh, yeah. You know what? Yeah, definitely add in a headset holder. Or you can get an N60 puck, put it on the side of your PC and use that as the headset. So I think this is a great setup, very clean cable.
Starting point is 00:44:37 management. You can tell they took the time to organize everything. The desk does seem a little too small. I don't know. I can't tell there's any space to the right of the PC. But what I would do, honestly, is I would actually flip the PC so it's straight. Oh, straight up like this. Yeah. And then just get like a little bit more desk space on there. And that way you don't have to put your headset on top of your mouse pad. and just get like a nice little headset stand and then just drop your headset there. I love the wrist thing for the keyboard. I'll say that too. I was like, dude, I love the... I'm using wrist rest rest right now.
Starting point is 00:45:24 Yeah. And Pinky Cloud is saying here also a bigger mouse pad. I actually don't think you need a bigger mouse pad in this instance because the keyboard is, It's kind of like, you know, to the left of, I don't know, everything's kind of like sectioned off it looks like. So I don't necessarily think you really need a bigger mouse pad here. So I'm going to give this, well, I got to give them bonus points because we're actually
Starting point is 00:45:55 in the picture. Yeah, that's what I was saying. I was like, this is weird. Like, I literally see myself at this. So I'll give him two points for that, one for me, one for you. And I will give this a. 9.5 out of 10. Wow.
Starting point is 00:46:15 Yeah. Wow. I like it. A lot. Very clean. All right. Who's is this? This is Ricky Reload.
Starting point is 00:46:21 He's right there in chat. Ricky, nice job, man. Because honestly, I do agree, though. You don't need to upgrade a setup. I'll say someone in chat said it. It's a cozy setup. And I'm like, the greed and then just the vibes just make me want to just like watch a movie or something like that at this desk.
Starting point is 00:46:38 I do agree. Yeah. All right, guys. We're ready for it. He was in chat earlier. I don't know if he's still here, but we got to do to fallout guy, right? You guys,
Starting point is 00:46:51 you guys got to look at this? I'm mad. Gosh, dang, look at this setup. Oh, my gosh. I'm going to give this a zero out of ten because it's not mine. I know, right? Oh, God. Yeah. Well, also, first of all, shout out to the Fallout.
Starting point is 00:47:18 Yeah, shout out. They recently came to our office last month. We did like an HQ event here and it was a great meeting them in person. They also sent us like two boxes of Fallout stuff for our office here. so we've been decorating our Fallout conference room with all the cool stuff they've been sending us and yeah yeah a lot of it's cool bad he's a cool dude um drove a long ways too to the office which is also appreciated um yeah i mean there's not much to say about this setup other than it's freaking awesome man like look at it like you can't possibly get any better unless it was mine um
Starting point is 00:48:10 Everything's nicely organized. Everything is very clean. I don't know. I can't hate on it, man. It's just perfect. I would give this a 11 out of 10. I think it's all on theme too, man. It's awesome.
Starting point is 00:48:31 Minus one. No fall out on the screen. That's true. That is a fail. But they're playing oblivion. Oh, yeah. That's a plus one. right there. I'm believing so cool.
Starting point is 00:48:42 All right. He's a chat. Fall guy. You gotta give me an answer. What is the best fallout game? Because I have my opinions on story, gameplay, everything like that. But what is the number one fallout game for you from the official fall guy? And why is it Fallout 76? Also, it's actually pretty dang good.
Starting point is 00:49:06 But I'm a, I'm a, I'll wait for him first because I'm gonna, because I have my opinion new Vegas yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna say new Vegas actually wait you have a you have a sleep tattoo of new Vegas can you send us a picture of the uh tattoo that sounds awesome i agree though it is uh it is new Vegas new Vegas story mode is just i wish that if new Vegas had fallout for gameplay or they remastered it like actual game gameplay i would i would i would i would love that but god i mean yes look at the setup it's a theme fallout fallout out setup. How can you not? You like got the quantum, got the fallout guy,
Starting point is 00:49:44 follow new Vegas up. I mean, come on. You gotta give it. Oh yeah, new season two of a TV, the TV shows just finished filming, so hopefully we'll see that soon. I'm like, I'm actually like jealous of this setup. Like I hope that one day I will
Starting point is 00:50:01 spend the time and the money to actually like make a sense like this. Because that is incredible. It actually, makes you want to play play fallout it really does it really does every time i see you set up i'm like man i should really like load up that game i haven't played it in a while but yeah awesome all righty uh we'll do a couple more
Starting point is 00:50:25 up from oh actually you got a couple from the twitter shot thank you so much for sending it to us oh oh i'm gonna have a fun day with this one this is gonna be a grand one i see the cat oh yeah okay Oh, it's such a... Oh, the cat. Well, right off the bat, they get a point for the cat. Even though I hate cats, like I do not like cats at all, I do love a good cat on a PC when I see that. Cat on PC is an instant plus one.
Starting point is 00:50:59 Yeah. Yeah. But I personally hate cats. But I do like them on computers. Yeah, I love the cat on the PC, so that's a point for sure. I also love this desk, man. Like, this desk looks freaking nice. Look at that wood grain.
Starting point is 00:51:19 It's sick, man. Big, thick desk. I love it. It's also very clean, very organized. I do see a loose cable behind the monitor there, but I think it's coming from the ring light. So I'm not going to deduct them. That's probably the only cable I would clean up a little bit, to be honest. I love the big mouse pad.
Starting point is 00:51:44 I love the stream deck in the middle. You have your stats there too on the left. So sick. I love the vertical monitor. I also love the shelves on top with the decoration there. And they have some hardware boxes, which, you know, I wish I wish my wife would let me keep my hardware boxes, but she just thinks they're junk.
Starting point is 00:52:06 I have to throw them away. Yeah, man, this is an awesome setup. But there's really not much to hate on. Obviously, they have the nice looking NZXT H9 right there. I love how they have the vertical GPU mount too on the fan. That's great. I'm sorry, the support there on the, the GPU support on the fan there. It's a nice touch.
Starting point is 00:52:32 It looks like it's perfectly centered. Oh, yeah, right here. Yeah, man, this is a 10 out of 10 for sure. Oh, I also love the switch. I'm a fellow Switch gamer myself here, so I got to show some love to my fellow Switch homies. Yeah, man, I think the only thing that could possibly make it better, honestly, would be a white boom arm just so it matches all the white peripherals and whatnot.
Starting point is 00:53:01 But, you know, a little contrast, never heard anyone. It's awesome. I love this setup. I will give you 9 out of 10 until you tell me, the cat's name, then obviously he gets the 10 out of 10 rating. I mean, come on, guys. Like, ring lights perfect here. You know,
Starting point is 00:53:22 all the white set up, even the Switch being the Zelda, Breath of the Wild, or the Tears of the Kingdom, like, which match it with the H9, with the white background, with the,
Starting point is 00:53:36 it's like, come on. Her name is Opel. Speaking of background, Mike imagine if they had the default Windows 11 wallpapers like wouldn't that just ruin the vibe yes it would I'm serious man wallpapers make a difference it does it does it does I agree like oh tattoo sent and DMs beautiful I'll pull it up don't leak the DMs Mike but uh yeah I think it's I think I assume this is like a router or like a like a Wi-Fi extender or something like that or
Starting point is 00:54:09 antenna but god 10 10 and her name is opal she's very cute i i assume that's a siamese cat very cute very it's not a wi-fi router it's the litter box it's it's cat's litter box yeah oh okay here you go here is the oh is it like glow into dark is it actually like glow to dark it's glowing let me see if i could pull up the um wow This is insane. Oh, here we go. This is the photo. Oh, where to go?
Starting point is 00:54:50 U. V. There it is. I didn't even know you can do a UV tattoo. That's cool. UVE. That's dope. Oh,
Starting point is 00:55:01 this is, you're just, this is so cool. Oh, I see the new Vegas. Oh, I got so, oh my God.
Starting point is 00:55:09 This is such a, yeah, how many hours was this? And I, I assume, it's going to be multiple sessions on top of that so it's probably going to be like oh gosh i'm going to guess six sessions i'm going to get six sessions at least three to four hours each i think if i had these tattoos i would feel so guilty playing any game that was not fall out
Starting point is 00:55:33 50 hours wow so like 10 six sessions you did wait no way wait was that 50 I do remember you did eight-hour sessions you know what would be funny too Mike what if we asked him what's your favorite fallout game and he's like actually I don't care the game I just like the TV show yeah you got all these tattoos from the TV show wait you did eight hour sessions fallout dude
Starting point is 00:56:00 oh my god eight hour tattoo sessions six times maybe it's seven sessions that's still a lot that's seven hours then that's crazy DJ Logic says imagine this but with nzxte and all the products i actually have a really funny story about that um several years ago like maybe even 10 years ago at this point like there was a guy on um
Starting point is 00:56:27 on facebook kept saying like hey if i get an nz x tattoo nzs tattoo will you give me a free pc and i kept telling him like no please for the love of god did not get an nzxt tattoo i'm not going to send your free pc anyway this guy ended up getting an NZT tattoo, right? Then he tattooed a computer, an NZXT computer on his arm, right? And he was like super stoked to show it off. He posted on social. He ended up tattooing it with the Cracken installed wrong.
Starting point is 00:57:00 So now he permanently has a wrongly installed Cracken on his body. No. And I almost gave him a free PC. for that but I decided you know what I was gonna give you a free one until I saw that cracking bro sorry that's pain yeah that's painful I was saying I would I would be if we do like an n60 charity thing I will get like the ncxte logo on like my butt or something like that for a charity thing NZXT on your toes at ZXT on my little toes that would be pretty good on the bottom of your toes
Starting point is 00:57:42 Like on the bottom of my foot Like how Andy wrote on Woody's foot And Toy Story I just have NZXT but it's all like it's like backwards Z or something like that That'd be funny That would be a cool tent to actually All righty
Starting point is 00:58:00 We'll do a couple more And then we'll wait We'll at least make sure that everyone gets the hour For the thing So from Tesla Tom Woo All righty let's see, I could tell they like Tesla's.
Starting point is 00:58:18 I mean, I, before I get into the setup, I must say, I don't really like the cyber truck. I think, what do you think, Mike? Do you like the cyber truck? It looks, it's, it's, yeah, I'm not a big fan of the cyber truck, because, like, I mean, it's just, it's just, it, who said it was like, it looks like a PS2 car glitch? It does.
Starting point is 00:58:40 Every time I see it, that's what I think of. I always think like this looks like it's out of a freaking PlayStation game or something. It just looks way too funky. But I do like that it's so weird. As you know, Mike, I'm a huge fan of weird. I like things that are different. So I'm not going to hate on it. Just being personally, like, I would not buy one because it's a little too weird for me.
Starting point is 00:59:03 But anyway, little rant there. This is a really nice setup. I love the. big desk there actually have the same exact desk here in the office I think I love the back panel right there behind the the monitor I wish it was centered though it throws me off when it's like a little bit to the right but no big deal I love the a PC there on the left out of the way not on the floor you had your shelf there for your switch controllers and your
Starting point is 00:59:39 you think it's a PS5 controller right there next to it. Yes. I like that they have the laptop dock right there. Big mouse pad. Nice mouse pad too. I like that design really cool. I also like that lamp.
Starting point is 01:00:01 A little bulb like a vintage looking thing. Amber lamb. It doesn't really fit the theme though, to be honest. It's kind of but they're a Tesla fan. Maybe it's like a thing, right? Like a Nicholas, Tesla type of design or whatever. Um, blah, but, but, all right.
Starting point is 01:00:19 This is going to be a eight out of ten for me. I agree. I had the number. I think I loved the PCs on the left side. I rarely see them on the left side and it's cable routed to work. I love that. Laptop here, help with this. Big widescreen.
Starting point is 01:00:40 I know you're not the biggest fan of it, but I love the widescreen. beautiful setup height adjustable big fan of some ergonomics everyone big fan of that um yeah does it not trigger you that it's not centered that's that's why i'm giving it at eight no i actually like my pc's technically not centered either because for for how my setup is i'm actually i have to lean it a little bit to the left uh just because of my pc and also the way i kind of like play games. I kind of lean left. So like my PC should or my main model should be like here, but it said it's
Starting point is 01:01:17 a little bit here. It's just how it is. Um, there's supposed to something. Uh, Pinky Cloud, uh, Pinkly Cloud. Uh, can you DM me on Twitch or on Twitter and we'll go ahead and review it. But I, I got to give it. I got to give it an eight out of ten. I think there's a, actually, no, I got to give it a nine out of ten. There's not much I would add to this. Yeah, you know what? I do think. You're right. I was probably too harsh with an 8.
Starting point is 01:01:46 I think it's a 9. The only thing that I don't like is that it's just crooked. It's like, I would just make sure, I would want this centered because it's, uh, because I don't know, it just seems, it just throws me off when you have two shelves on the side and then you have that background or that backdrop there and then it's like not centered. It's just, I don't know, something about it. Yeah. I'll just get 9 out of 10. I think for me I would like to have at least another monitor or two.
Starting point is 01:02:14 But I mean, I think it's great. I mean, I don't think I'll add anything else. Let's see. We can keep on looking. We'll wait for Pinkle Cloud. I think Pinkle Cloud would be our final one. Oh, see if we can find any cool ones. Oh, that one is gone.
Starting point is 01:02:34 Okay. G-Fuel. DPG Devour You know, I actually kind of like these setups Where it's like they're it's like this is like I love the really cool setups don't get me wrong But I think it's really nice to look back on like basically setups that like most people would actually yeah I I think every every gamer at one point in their life had a desk like this They all wood desk honestly these wood desks so good
Starting point is 01:03:10 Yeah, and you know what's, it's going to sound weird, but every time I see these desks, I always remember the smell. Remember that smell, Mike? Oh, that wood, old wood oak smell, yeah. Yeah. And like, remember the smell of like when the PC or the Xbox would get a little too hot. Yeah, and it's like it's getting onto that desk and everything. Yeah, I know that smell. And then that wood would smell, yep.
Starting point is 01:03:35 Yeah, and those hot summer days, I think it's nostalgic, man. So yeah, I, just for the nostalgia reasons, I'm going to give it a couple points there because I think we've all been there. I'm not the biggest G-fuel fan, but since they put it front and center here, I'm going to have to critique it. So I'm not the biggest G-fuel fan, but I am a fan of like these types of drinks, like these energy drinks. I try to keep them to a I don't drink them too often but I'm going to say that you pick probably the worst
Starting point is 01:04:15 possible flavor ever for chifil caramel apple that just sounds disgusting man I will give them bonus points for the ghost face shaker though I love scream
Starting point is 01:04:28 probably yeah like I love all those scream movies man they're making a new one too by the way Dewey's coming back Yeah The PC looks cool on the right
Starting point is 01:04:40 I'm just going to give this a 7 out of 10 I agree I think Everyone had the setup And you know I think
Starting point is 01:04:53 I think everyone has this old setup You know The wood desk And honestly I love that the PC is on the desk So that's that extra point I can't see two much of like the, you know, stuff, you know, like the setup itself, but
Starting point is 01:05:10 I think everyone has had this type of setup before, so. Yeah. I'll give us a good six, six out of ten. I think it'll give it six out of ten. Lots of roof for improvement, but not bad. Yes, UFOs. Just DM me
Starting point is 01:05:24 uh, DM me, uh, on Twitter, uh, the post. Mike, my flight quest to know if that was your PC. That got coffee spilled over it. No. It was not. It's actually someone
Starting point is 01:05:38 I think they went viral on Reddit a couple years ago Yeah And we We reposted it a couple years ago Yeah because it's an NZT case I was like we got to do it Oh yeah That's how you want to get your PC
Starting point is 01:05:54 featured on the NZXC social media account Just drop Drop coffee On your NZXT PC and we will post it All right we'll do Okay UFOs in chat Saying that he wants actual
Starting point is 01:06:08 thing. So we'll, I'll pull, I'll pull it hit up soon. But we have Pinkley who has a beautiful setup. So let's see it. Let's see it. All right, Pinkley. Pinkly Cloud. We'll be the judge of that. So I'll, I'll, she's got four of them. So I'll pop through each one of these. Okay. So. Boom. I love the Hello Kitty.
Starting point is 01:06:35 Hello Kitty. Well done. Well done. L-shaped desk. Love the L-shaped desk. Always loved to have that extra room on the side. And then got some Chromey. Oh, God, I can't remember her name for Death Note. Mok. I can't remember her name from things.
Starting point is 01:06:55 But honestly, here I'll show. I think this is the best photo. Misa, thank you. Thank you. Yeah. I love the tissue box right there, right in the middle. Is that what that is? A tissue box?
Starting point is 01:07:10 Yep. You got to cry while you're playing video games like me. Cry. Yeah, it's a very nice setup, Pinkley. I like it a lot. I love how you have your PC decorated too with the characters inside. I'm a big sucker for decorating the inside of your PC. contrary to your popular belief.
Starting point is 01:07:40 I don't think it really messes with the airflow too much, especially like in your PC where you don't even have fans on the bottom. It's not going to do anything, make it look nice in there. So love it. I also love that big, giant mouse pad of yours. I love the design, very different and unique. I love the plushies in the corner,
Starting point is 01:08:03 especially because Pucci's there. and that little table you have with the tissues and the remote and your headset looks cool apparently that part is movable it is not movable no it is movable so I think I think they can push it in if they need to two poochies there oh oh I do see two poochies there
Starting point is 01:08:26 and then I gotta give some points for the Hello Kitty trash can I don't know what I say I have two dogs and they love Hello Kitty, so I got to show my support. And I am curious, yeah, what is that thing on top of the PC? Is it like a magnifying glass or something? What is that? I'm a big Simmon World fan, so.
Starting point is 01:08:51 No, it is poochy. Like Gucci, everyone is poochie. It's a sunset lamp. Oh. I'm a big Sinman role fan, so that's definitely a big plus. although number one will always be pump up her in for me but similar roles definitely at number two what is the sunset lamp mike uh i think it's like it just uh
Starting point is 01:09:13 it just does like the uh what do you call it like the glow like the amber glow of like the sunset hmm i never seen that yeah it's like this i've never seen it i've never seen a sunset it's like this it gives like the orange glow yeah aura like this the gold hour Oh, that's cool. Wow. I actually want to see that, like, turned on now. It's really, it's really cool. I had one in my old, my two previous apartments.
Starting point is 01:09:44 I had one like that, except it was a daylight one versus a golden, a sunset one. That explains a lot, actually, Ivan, from Sage. I'm usually sleeping before the sunsets. Yeah. I mean, I'm looking at this. setup. I don't have much to say. I mean, PC's good, cable manage is good, plushies have personality, he's got figurines in the, in the case. I mean, I got his good is good 8 out of 10. I think there's obviously room for improvement. You know, you can always add another monitor. You can always, you know,
Starting point is 01:10:22 you know, make a you know, increase you know, like the style RGB and stuff like that but. Can you swap to that picture of the PC? Yes.
Starting point is 01:10:37 Closer look. So I think this is probably the only thing I would critique to be honest is even though I do love the NZXT case. I'm not going to like the NZXT case. I do think the case is too big for this hardware. because it looks like you have a micro ATX motherboard and then a smaller GPU.
Starting point is 01:10:58 I'm not hating on the GPU or the motherboard, but the case is definitely, you know, big compared to that. So I would probably just get a smaller case, to be honest. But it's cool. I think maybe if you add more decorations inside of the case like that, rather than getting a smaller one or adding bigger hardware, I think you can kind of balance it out a little bit more. It's a budget bill, Pinkley says. I agree.
Starting point is 01:11:28 I agree. But, I mean, you know, work with what you got. It's a budget build with our most expensive case. Got to love it. What's it called? Someone in chat says, remove a sticker. And I disagree. I say keep the sticker on.
Starting point is 01:11:46 The caution, temper glass, keep that on. Never get rid of those. If you take it off, your FPS actually drops. Fax, you heard it here first, everyone. Keep it on. And if you don't remove, if you do remove it, then it will shatter. But if you don't remove it, it stays on. So just keep that in mind.
Starting point is 01:12:07 Oh, Pinky, Pinky just dropped the picture of the Sunset lamp in the thread. Let's see. On the thread, let me pull it up. Yeah, I want to see, I want to see the thing. Oh. That's cool. That is, wow, that's a lot more powerful than I thought it would be.
Starting point is 01:12:29 That is bright. That is bright. Wow, that was a, that was really cool. Okay, so R2B right there is sick. Wow. That's a great one. All right. We got one more, Ivan.
Starting point is 01:12:45 We'll do one more. UFO, you said, you wanted some things. You wanted some advice, but I don't think we could give you advice, too, because you're, this is this setup. I don't know if we could give advice about this setup What do you need you need advice I mean I guess I'll use this one Alright let's see
Starting point is 01:13:10 I mean I guess I could All right I'm sure A cable management right there I guess Right off the bat I gotta give some points for playing Mega Man Arguably The hardest video game known to man I'm not just saying like if you
Starting point is 01:13:28 If you can beat Mega Man like I bow down to you. That game is freaking hard. You ever played Mega Band, Mike? Not the NES version. I've not played an NES version. You should play that one of these days. It's like the impossible to beat me.
Starting point is 01:13:45 I also love the coin jug there. I have one of those myself. So by the door. Did you see that? Oh, yes. Yes, big doves. Yeah. I mean, this is like honestly like a dream.
Starting point is 01:13:59 dream room. Like, if I had this room, like, like, you know, I would never come out of it. Unfortunately, I do not have this room. But yeah, if I had this room, I would probably like never leave, to be honest. It's awesome. I love, I love the TV mounted on the wall like that. The desk does seem a little cluttered. I'm not going to lie. There's also really, really, messy cables behind the whatever that thing. What is that thing? This thing right here, the audio mixer? The audio mixer. Is that what that is?
Starting point is 01:14:41 But I like the look of the audio mixer with the lights matching the the PC lights and all that. It's just the dust looks very cluttered, you know, and got to deduct some points from that, unfortunately. But yeah, everything else looks awesome, and I can tell there, Mega Man fan too because they actually have a Mega Man figurine on top of the PC so love it UFO have you beat Mega Man be honest go XLR that's what oh six foot desk yeah just clean up those cables man I think you should clean up those cables are really messy
Starting point is 01:15:20 I love the LEDs too the LEDs on top is really dope are those berets hanging on the wall there Are you French? No, I only have two or three bosses dead. Look, UFO said... UFO's a big Mega Man and they have never beat it. No, I only have two or three bosses dead. Yeah. It's honestly, Mike, it's probably the hardest game ever.
Starting point is 01:15:48 I'm not even joking when I say that. Why NES Mega Man's so hard? It's just, it's freaking hard, man. You should try playing it. It's like... I think it's an impossible. game to be. I don't know anyone that's beat it. She's really,
Starting point is 01:16:04 that bad? Yeah. Hey. Yeah. But yeah, anyway, back to the setup. I will give this despite the messy cables, which grind my gears. I'm going to have to give
Starting point is 01:16:22 this a 8.5 out of 10. Got it. I have to give this at least a nine, I think. I would give it a nine. If I would give it a nine, if the cables are cleaned up. I mean, I think,
Starting point is 01:16:39 I think, I gotta give us a night. I think, yeah, agreed. The cables can be cleaned up more. It is a little cluttered on the desk, but with everything that you have, you have big TV, you have multiple TVs in your room. Got the lights,
Starting point is 01:16:54 got the coin jug, which is a dove. The case is awesome. Beautiful setup. Got the key light and everything like that. I got to give us a nice. 9 out of 10. Like, very few things I would change in this other than just clean it up a little bit.
Starting point is 01:17:12 Is that a PlayStation on that table? Yeah, it's a PlayStation on its side. I don't, I think technically you're supposed to have it on its side. I forgot it. There's one way that they actually specify, like, you should leave your PS5 like this. I don't have a PS5. The only console I have is a Switch and Zoom probably Switch 2, but. A PC, a PS5, a PlayStation.
Starting point is 01:17:35 Damn. Yeah. Why would you ever, why would you ever leave this room? I don't want to leave this room. I got a TV here too, got your switch here. Got your movies and stuff. You don't need it. And then imagine this was your room and then your mom comes in and she's like, I made cookies for you.
Starting point is 01:17:50 Oh, dude, I would love that. Yeah. You could do both. I send it vertically when it's on the other TV. Wow. Oh, so you can, you just move it. Wow. Is that two TVs?
Starting point is 01:18:00 Yeah, there's one here and one here. Oh, my goodness. It's got like a really nice one here. and then like uh like i see this is like for like just putting something like on on like youtube or something like that incredible wow even the cable management i don't even see where the cables are i assume they're like routed in the wall maybe wow yeah that's why i don't understand what if most of the cable management is clean except for that rat's nest on top of the desk 49 inch curve a tv and a 43 inch tv up here dang yeah are are they routed inside
Starting point is 01:18:36 Oh, is it this? Oh, like it's routed with the RGB. Oh. Is that another pick of my desktop? Let me see. Here we go. Ooh. Okay.
Starting point is 01:18:59 A little bit more cleared, a little bit cleaned up. Oh, you know what? I don't think he, I don't think he's able to clean this up because with a GoXLR, audio thing it's like almost impossible to make that like invisible what do you use that thing for oh so the power and hdemeer are in the wall so they i was right they were in the wow that's incredible if i could do that in my apartment i would totally do that but uh i rent UFO what do you use the go xLR for like are you like a dj or something uh when are we getting mike and iven home set submissions uh not me for like
Starting point is 01:19:47 another month because I just moved. You don't want to see. Oh for audio, just different channels. Gotcha. So you can just, you know, adjust it due to GOLXLR, which is amazing. I don't know. It feels unnecessary, man. Like, I don't know if
Starting point is 01:20:03 if having that thing means messy cables, I don't know, just so you can control. Oh, dude. If you use one, it's like life-changing. For like an audio file, it's like the best thing you can do because you can literally just go, you could just lower
Starting point is 01:20:17 this a little bit, up this a little bit. You don't have to go into the sound settings. You just do it straight there. It's so nice. It's life-changing, honestly. I use my little Elgado control center, and that's like the little version. This is like the good version of doing it. It's so worth it.
Starting point is 01:20:34 Sage, the plug. I'm not going to show you my bed because, ironically, I didn't make my bed today. I know. How dare you? It doesn't know. I'm a rush to leave the house this morning. I think that is it. Ivan,
