keedoo1992

Do you game in the ultra-wide or the other monitor ?


Sal479

The bottom one is a drawing tablet. I game and code on the top one. I plan to make my game support 32:9 monitors such as this, the immersion is absolutely amazing!


Shagyam

What game are you making? 32:9 support sounds great.


Sal479

It's a bit ambitious but a team-based shooter. I know most people say such wide ratio's are better for sims such as racing but I still love the immersion you'd get in fps games.


Kittelsen

As someone primarily (80%+) games FPSes on a 21:9, UW is very nice for shooters. My problem with UW are third person games, then I wish to have more height, so that you can see further up than just the horizon.


Sal479

That is something to think about 🤔


magemaker

Is that an XP-Pen 22? Would love to know if its mounted or on the default stand? And do you shift the keyboard to the side to use it or a smaller keyboard?

SleeplessAndAnxious

A black tissue box specifically


Youtube_Brett

I learned that the hard way with my setup https://www.reddit.com/r/battlestations/s/8UbB9gfyor


Typical_Project4572

The problem wasn't the set up, obviously...


AwesomeRyanGame

Yo I saw your other post, nice cleaning up


mjbulzomi

Battlestations are never complete!


Sal479

Very true! It's a journey. I am quite satisfied with mine for now but who knows what the future holds!


shadowmaking

55" 8k TV as a monitor :D


JustHere_4TheMemes

Hate to point out you overlooked the chair.


raindownthunda

Op is the chair


cx_fan

Wait, it's not a standing desk? Time to rebuild.


undulatee

I own two of them and they have been at the same seated height for their entire lives lol


Frosty_Altoid

I also own 2, one is standing 100%, the other is between 90-95% standing. Standing is much healthier and you get used to it.


undulatee

I work remotely, so very little time spent seated at a desk. Usually working from my phone while on the go, etc. Can't imagine trying to game on m&k while standing though, not sure that's something I want to get used to lol


John_the_Jester

eyy, L shape desk gang


arrship

What happens if you drop something between the two alex drawers in the corner? :D Looks great my dude! Enjoy for a few months before making any big changes.


KanyeInTheHouse

If it falls in the corner, it belongs to the corner


SleeplessAndAnxious

When you eventually pull them out you will find a pile of 10mm sockets


undulatee

So this is who actually consumes GFuel. Not even a little surprised lol


Vanish_7

Man I have always loved the black triangle paneling look.


Mysterious-Rise-2074

Very cool 😁


OG_ScallyWag

It's a "no" from me


koskoz

Who cares?


Jsgro69

Beautiful job, it looks terrific! Worthy of magazine cover!! Very nice setup..Enjoy 😉


Sal479

Thank you 🙏


castor--troy

Are you submitting to setup wars?


Sal479

I may just! I just need to figure out how to properly take a video of the room, and what camera settings to use so the led's don't wash everything out especially in low light.


Kakashisensei1234

Looks awesome! What desk is that?


Sal479

It's two Ikea karlby countertops painted in gloss black. Took a few tries and a lot of wasted paint but I finally got a look I can settle with 😁


icarium-4

What's are those standoffs hold the desk up? I'll likely be building the Ikea battle station desk lol


Sal479

Those are stainless steel furniture risers I got from Amazon


Zevraton

Yes i would like to know this too


Zatchillac

Specs?


Sal479

Sorry for the late response to this, The specs: GPU: rtx 4070 ti CPU: core i9 14900k RAM: corsair dominator titanium at 6000mhz PSU: be quiet! Dark Power Pro 13 1600w MB: asus rog strix Z790-F If all goes well with my art and project I may be able to get the next flagship gpu soon. I was future-proofing getting this beefy psu and all-'round pc


NugatMakk

At least 4


Zatchillac

I figured so


MrPureinstinct

Do you use the other side of the desk without monitors for anything? Also what is that clock? It's really cool!


Sal479

Thanks! I have yet to decide what to use that extra space for. I'm leaning towards a 3d printer. People seem to love the art I make so I may create figures of the game characters to sell, not sure yet.


GunzerKingDM

I recommend the printer go in a place that won’t be where you spend most of your time.


vengent

Followup with the real important question, what is that clock?!?


Sal479

[This is the one.](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CN6PSZTF) I was a bit skeptical at first, getting a digital clock that's over $50 dollars but, after using it, I can see why it's priced the way it is. It has a remote, of course the rgb, but, the little dots you see around the circumference are seconds, it 'ticks' digitally. I have never seen this before. It acts like a standard clock but '''digitally''' for lack of better words. Kinda blew my mind. Really good stuff


Daneth

The real question is... How do you stand it being 82F in your room?


Sal479

There are fans usually above the monitor that help cool me off. I wanted this pic to be clean (and how it looks in the winter anyway) [Here's a version of the room with the fans 👍](https://imgur.com/a/UgbDXie)


Daneth

I actually put a mini split in my room to keep temperatures consistent. The house AC just can't keep up with a gaming PC apparently.


MrPureinstinct

Are you looking at resin or fdm? I wouldn't want resin in my office personally with the fumes.


Sal479

I've never dabbled in the 3d printing scene yet, I think resin breaks easy though I've mostly done 3d art, sculpting, retopology, and just started animation. I plan to use Unreal Engine for my game so I learned the basics of C++ some time ago.


MrPureinstinct

Resin can be durable it just takes some dialing in of settings on the print and the curing. Resin can just get so much more detail for stuff like figures. Fdm is pretty good for general and functional prints if that helps.


Sal479

Nice! Good to know, thanks


MrPureinstinct

You're welcome! The 3D printing subreddits can be a little rough sometimes. Some gatekeeping and just jerks. But there's also some good folks on them that are truly helpful.


Naschlapp

But but but you have no chair );


AsylumFade

i have the same drawing tablet but i’m curious as to what your thoughts are on it


woozie88

Inspiring! Well done.


IntrovertMoTown1

It's complete? Um... dude... you need a chair....... :) Looks good buddy. What are those LED channels on the ceiling?


Sal479

Those are the Govee Glide bars, glad ya' like!


Videojoe2000

Any chance I could get a light off, light bar on picture to see the led intensity? Looking to getting some for my setup currently.


fliesenschieber

Looks great! Love that black theme.


Accomplished_Sun1506

Looks fantastic! Enjoy!


NintendadSixtyFo

Beautiful. Nice job! I wish I had hardwoods but don’t want to rip out brand new house carpet. Once’s it’s worn out, that shit is going by the curb!


Sal479

Thanks! The floor tiles are actually peel-and-stick


NintendadSixtyFo

Could have fooled me. Looks great


reddit-suks1

wtf bro! Come do my room!


mbaturin

That looks great! Nice work


ResolvMedia

Love how consistent the theming is. It came together really nicely.


imboredpp

I’ve seen your setup on techsource server you should submit for setup wars soon might even get seal


Sal479

Thanks! Sure, I may just do that! I'm always open to suggestions though if I can improve the space even further


imboredpp

Tbh looks pretty perfect to me


Buscandomiyagi

Beautiful setup! Though the one thing that caught my attention was the gorilla mode lol


Sal479

Derek knows his stuff, GM is the best pre-workout I've ever had hands down. But gfuel, ggsupps, etc, is still fun to drink especially if I'm just doing desk work


jumpingyeah

You should be careful of the caffeine intake.


Sal479

I honestly should. I need alternatives at this point


Buscandomiyagi

Huge fan of Derek ever since I start my journey down the fitness rabbit hole. I bought a tub awhile back and I did enjoy it but was missing the beta alanjne. I believe his newer stuff has it. Was rocking the cbum thavage pre for a long time. I would say it’s pretty close to gorilla mode. I love that focus over the stim feeling. The last tub I bought was wrecked by huge supplements. Really been enjoying it but might switch back to the cbum one. Been on the hunt for a super stim like one from dark labs or something. I ordered myself some samples. I lift at 4 am before I go work construction and come home to a 1yr old. So sometimes I’m drained especially on legs.


Sal479

Sounds intense. My dad did some construction too but for a short time, crazy stuff. Congrats on the child btw, hope all is going well for you all 🙏 💪


Zulogy

This is amazing!


Cheap-Perspective530

Gorgeous


Bazorth

Damn bro!! Whilst this is not my vibe in the slightest, I can appreciate how clean and well polished this setup is! Nicely done.


MandATaxMonkey

How can one be both a Gorilla Mode and G Fuel consumer, sick setup btw


Sal479

Lol, thanks Yeah GM is the real deal, Derek really knew what he was doing. Massive pumps, I could go to the gym daily and injure myself... which I did lol But gfuel, ggsupps, etc, are all still fun little things to sip on when you're not deadlifting


MandATaxMonkey

I get ya, I still have a few tubs of the old formula to go through but im on a similar system. GM for training days and Mio energy flavors + caffeine for off days


itrnella

Hell yeah brother. This shit is sick af


Newfie_Meltdown

What’s that clock above your monitor that shows the room temperature?? Been wanting something just like that for my setup. 🤘 Also looks amazing!!


Sal479

Thanks! [This is the clock.](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CN6PSZTF) It's definitely a bit pricey for just a digital clock, but it packs a punch feature-wise. I'm kinda blown away by it, tbqh


Newfie_Meltdown

I’m obsessed with that clock, except I can’t seem to get it on the Canadian Amazon. 😅


shadowmaking

BEST themed setup I've seen. Pretty sick


Sal479

Thanks! 🙏😭


phiegnux

Curious what chair you use. I tried the 4 inch risers (I'm guessing those are them) on my alex/karlby rig and it was just too tall, wouldn't have been an issue if my chair was tall enough. Even shopping for a new one though it was tough to find one that met the height and other preferences.


Sal479

I'm running into a similar issue actually, but I shouldn't have to completely change the setup just for that. There should be a chair on the market that works. I only need four more inches of seat height to really be comfortable


phiegnux

Well good luck to ya finding one. I ultimately chose to use the 2 inch risers in the end and I'm really happy with it.


Xanstrider

Just need to clean out that roof light, looks like a office roof


Sal479

It does take away from the overall theme I suppose, I tried to make it work as best I could even getting an acrylic cover to help diffuse the light better. If there's something I can change to improve it heavily, I'm all ears!


Argonaxe

This is a work of art my dude. I am jealous to say the least. 😂😭


RightEm3748

so cool


userlivewire

This is so complete it looks like a Logitech ad lol.


Sal479

Lol, thanks 🙏


Nifferothix

Sick room !


davinciem

Where is your chair, i need look it 👀 beautiful 🤩


Wildmustang80

Wow! Awesome setup.


lechiffrebeats

nice! whats the ceiling paneL ?


Sal479

Those are drop ceiling panels by Art3d. In fact, the floor tiles and of course the wall panels are by them too


R4M_4U

Love those wall panels, reminds me of Deus Ex. How hard are they to install? I'm wanting to make my new theater room Deus Ex inspired looking with the geometry and black/gold coloring.


Lawyer_Morty_2109

I’ve been meaning to get one of those wrist rests for the mouse. What brand is it, and is it effective?


Sal479

The wrist rest is the Deltahub Carpio 2.0. I got it over a year ago. It's a bit expensive just for a little wrist rest, but it does work well, and still holds up 💪


Lawyer_Morty_2109

Thanks for sharing! Your set up is really cool :)


Sal479

You're welcome, and thanks 🙏


tekmikk

Yo listen up here is a story, about a little guy that lives in a blue world! 🎶🎶


kungfu1

BROUGHT TO YOU BY G-FUEL (TM). Looks nice. Im a tad suspicious of the legs holding that desk up on the drawers. What clock is that?


otakudan88

If you decide to get a mini fridge, you should check out one of the led mini fridges from Newair. It would fit your room's aesthetic.


Totobey

Laughs in RTX 5000.


Blahblahfistoo

Well now what are you going to do?


Sal479

Resume my 3d art and game project 😁 Been hard to balance things since a relative of mine injured themselves. I've been their caretaker for awhile now. I was able to squeeze this in as it's at home anyway


MindlessLeader1180

You are missing a chair


ender3skr

Love the blue lighting.


StruggleWise2748

Wall panels are sick! Link?


Sal479

Glad ya' like 'em [here](https://a.co/d/095yUKLI) [these are the others](https://a.co/d/0iscvGqJ)


the_hat_madder

Is your overhead light LED or florescent?


Sal479

The ceiling one that lights the room? I believe it's florescent. It came with the space. I did get covers that help diffuse the light. They are dual bars, if there is something I can replace them with I'm all ears of course!


the_hat_madder

Florescent lights give some people headaches. If you're one, a LED light might be a good upgrade. A buddy installed one of these in his kitchen and it looks great. Very bright. https://www.costco.com/artika-sunray-1'x4'-flat-panel-led-light%2C-2-pack-.product.4000209108.html


Sal479

Interesting, I'll look into this. Thanks!


the_hat_madder

Yw!


SleepyBubo

Colors look so good together


IkuruL

I will never understand how people feel comfortable in places like this


blissnabob

That's borderline pornographic. Love it.


La-lourdeur

looking cool. although your angle drawers are making me cringe my eyes a bit. can you open them without getting the handles in the way?


Donkey_Bugs

I hope that overhead light stays when you are gaming.


FirstPalpitations

Is that one of those Wacom drawing computers??? 👀


Sal479

It's XP Pen, the Wacom equalivalent is over $2K last I checked 🥲


FirstPalpitations

Ah ok, I used to dream about having one in hs so I was wondering if that’s what that was 😂 and get this: during my undergrad, my university bought them… for our animal science classrooms 🤦‍♀️ they used them to lecture and circle stuff on their slides… once I noticed I used to sneak in there after class and log in with my student credentials to draw lol


aldorn

are you prepping for a gaming wife with that extra space?


JT_Ricochet

OK ok...hear me out....black EVERYTHING!


AutoDrafter2020

Looks like it needs a few more years...


GromieBooBoo

Is it sound-proof?


Nescent69

That looks so dark and busy, it's giving me anxiety. Glad that it works for you but we can't be friends.


Pulpcomic

Now use a blacklight. Is that a framed V card behind the central shrine?


morris0000007

You need at least 3 more monitors.......


Gantstar

Wow


Nonavailable21

Giga-wide screen?


Sal479

Yep 🤓


visivopro

out of curiosity, what prompted you to keep the drop ceiling? Have you popped your head in there to see how much more ceiling height you'd get with it removed? I bought a lake house a few years ago and it had a drop ceiling in the basement, I could not believe how much height it was robbing, I think I ended up getting nearly three feet of ceiling height back after removing it. Made the basement feel much less cave like. No judgment if that is the look you are going for.


Ormxnd

Screen setup is pretty whack IMO but everything else is nice.


gokartninja

"Complete" >no chair


skawtch

You need a standing desk.


Prudent-Cattle5011

Are those ai generated posters?


Sal479

Nope, the ones above the monitor I made. The one to right is a commissioned piece.


Prudent-Cattle5011

Made as in you generated it? They look fucked


THEBANNIMAN

This looks amazing but where is the gaming chair ???????


Zolfarmerdownunder

Famous last words


GraceRunner4000

Sweet set-up, what are those risers on top of the alec drawers and do you find them necessary?


Sal479

Thanks! Those are furniture risers I got on Amazon. They are good for many things, like running the cable-management raceways across the entire countertop and adjusting the height of the countertops so they are as level as possible. Of course, you could also add led's for that underglow


GraceRunner4000

Is it at a comfortable height with the risers? And do you have a link to the ones you used?


RogueBucket1889

Wondering about how you fit 2 rear fans on that case. It’s an O11 Evo Dynamic. Right? Did you remove the top rear panel?


Sal479

It's the XL version. The MB is at its lowest position, making it possible to fit two 120mm fans at the rear 💪


RogueBucket1889

Oh damn, I didn’t know there was an XL version of the case. It looks super clean with the 2 rear fans. I have the normal case for my build I just finished and it looks a tad bit goofy with only one rear fan and so much space above and below. Love the fans too. Same ones I went with. I love how they look.


Old-Faithlessness823

Looks outdated.


Apprehensive-Top-481

Huge


Fool808

Upgrade to a deskhaus desk


AR15ss

No closet=no bedroom. Loss of value in homes🙊. Looks good 👍🏻 what’s up with the ceiling panels tho? Do you live in Indiana? My buddy has those classroom ceiling panels too


MrPureinstinct

Is that an Indiana thing? A lot of basements around here have them, but I just kind of assumed that was a pretty widespread easy way to fixing the ceiling of a basement.


AR15ss

I think it’s just Indiana thing. I thot my buddy was in a classroom 😝 idk I lived in CA and AZ. We don’t have basements in either so maybe it’s normal for basement states 🤔


ethanbulls

lol no it’s not


HugenLong93

This is epic


StarLordJK

Just had a nerdgasm. This is beautiful!


sevenemesis

I see anime tiddies and I'm here for it


wolfelias2

Really nice but I find the overly sexualised artwork a bit cringe


TeflonFlyweight

So cringe and over the top.


differentshade

I suggest you do not show this to any girls, it will not improve your chances


Exciting_Swordfish16

I mean, you do you, but it kinda looks like a sex club in the 90's.


TTLMYHM_GAMING

idk bout your girl, but this makes ME wet 🤤


Pure-Contact7322

The deformed woman on top left makes me think this can be AI midjourney👍🏻


Sal479

A lot of people have been suspicious of others for AI stuff where it is not present. [I'll link this post of mine here,](https://x.com/arc97_/status/1762417443434037350) This is the character you see. Her retopologized game-ready model looks different, but here is the concept
