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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
All right from,
yep,
just taco.
I like the finger.
Ooh,
I like the,
this is a little weird,
though.
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.
Because,
like,
I don't,
I don't like when people
have the,
the me where they're,
like,
gaming their faces,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
$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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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,
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,
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
HTML?
I feel like
there will be
some latency
issues with that
unless you use
it for like
chat and stuff
that's not bad
yeah there
you go
comes included
with latency
that's what I was
thinking
there could be
some sort of
weird thing
but
if it's for
the left side
monitor
where you're just
talking about
chat
that's not bad
that's not bad
one
okay
we got some
others in chat
um
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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...
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Yeah.
Wow.
I like it.
A lot.
Very clean.
All right.
Who's is this?
This is Ricky Reload.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
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
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?
U.
V.
There it is.
I didn't even know you can do a UV tattoo.
That's cool.
UVE.
That's dope.
Oh,
this is,
you're just,
this is so cool.
Oh,
I see the new Vegas.
Oh,
I got so,
oh my God.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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,
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
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
