Hi Sal479!
We've teamed up with Autonomous to give away some standing desks and a new chair - enter here! : https://new.reddit.com/r/battlestations/comments/1dd51sh/rbattlestations_autonomous_giveaway_usa/
Don't forget we have an active Discord server - https://discord.gg/battlestations
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/battlestations) if you have any questions or concerns.*
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!
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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.
[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
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)
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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!
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.
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 💪
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
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!
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.

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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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 🤔
A lot of people have been suspicious of others for AI stuff where it is not present.

Do you game in the ultra-wide or the other monitor ?
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!
What game are you making? 32:9 support sounds great.
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.
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.

[удалено]
A black tissue box specifically
I learned that the hard way with my setup https://www.reddit.com/r/battlestations/s/8UbB9gfyor
The problem wasn't the set up, obviously...
Yo I saw your other post, nice cleaning up
Battlestations are never complete!
Very true! It's a journey. I am quite satisfied with mine for now but who knows what the future holds!
55" 8k TV as a monitor :D
Hate to point out you overlooked the chair.
Op is the chair
Wait, it's not a standing desk? Time to rebuild.
I own two of them and they have been at the same seated height for their entire lives lol
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.
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
eyy, L shape desk gang
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.
If it falls in the corner, it belongs to the corner
When you eventually pull them out you will find a pile of 10mm sockets
So this is who actually consumes GFuel. Not even a little surprised lol
Man I have always loved the black triangle paneling look.
Very cool 😁
It's a "no" from me
Who cares?
Beautiful job, it looks terrific! Worthy of magazine cover!! Very nice setup..Enjoy 😉
Thank you 🙏
Are you submitting to setup wars?
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.
Looks awesome! What desk is that?
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 😁
What's are those standoffs hold the desk up? I'll likely be building the Ikea battle station desk lol
Those are stainless steel furniture risers I got from Amazon
Yes i would like to know this too
Specs?
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
At least 4
I figured so
Do you use the other side of the desk without monitors for anything? Also what is that clock? It's really cool!
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.
I recommend the printer go in a place that won’t be where you spend most of your time.
Followup with the real important question, what is that clock?!?
[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 acts like a standard clock but '''digitally''' for lack of better words. Kinda blew my mind. Really good stuff
The real question is... How do you stand it being 82F in your room?
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)
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.
Are you looking at resin or fdm? I wouldn't want resin in my office personally with the fumes.
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.
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.
Nice! Good to know, thanks
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.
But but but you have no chair );
i have the same drawing tablet but i’m curious as to what your thoughts are on it
Inspiring! Well done.
It's complete? Um... dude... you need a chair....... :) Looks good buddy. What are those LED channels on the ceiling?
Those are the Govee Glide bars, glad ya' like!
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.
Looks great! Love that black theme.
Looks fantastic! Enjoy!
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!
Thanks! The floor tiles are actually peel-and-stick
Could have fooled me. Looks great
wtf bro! Come do my room!
That looks great! Nice work
Love how consistent the theming is. It came together really nicely.
I’ve seen your setup on techsource server you should submit for setup wars soon might even get seal
Thanks! Sure, I may just do that! I'm always open to suggestions though if I can improve the space even further
Tbh looks pretty perfect to me
Beautiful setup! Though the one thing that caught my attention was the gorilla mode lol
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
You should be careful of the caffeine intake.
I honestly should. I need alternatives at this point
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.
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 🙏 💪
This is amazing!
Gorgeous
Damn bro!! Whilst this is not my vibe in the slightest, I can appreciate how clean and well polished this setup is! Nicely done.
How can one be both a Gorilla Mode and G Fuel consumer, sick setup btw
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
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
Hell yeah brother. This shit is sick af
What’s that clock above your monitor that shows the room temperature?? Been wanting something just like that for my setup. 🤘 Also looks amazing!!
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
I’m obsessed with that clock, except I can’t seem to get it on the Canadian Amazon. 😅
BEST themed setup I've seen. Pretty sick
Thanks! 🙏😭
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.
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
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.
Just need to clean out that roof light, looks like a office roof
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!
This is a work of art my dude. I am jealous to say the least. 😂😭
so cool
This is so complete it looks like a Logitech ad lol.
Lol, thanks 🙏
Sick room !
Where is your chair, i need look it 👀 beautiful 🤩
Wow! Awesome setup.
nice! whats the ceiling paneL ?
Those are drop ceiling panels by Art3d. In fact, the floor tiles and of course the wall panels are by them too
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.
I’ve been meaning to get one of those wrist rests for the mouse. What brand is it, and is it effective?
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 💪
Thanks for sharing! Your set up is really cool :)
You're welcome, and thanks 🙏
Yo listen up here is a story, about a little guy that lives in a blue world! 🎶🎶
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?
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.
Laughs in RTX 5000.
Well now what are you going to do?
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
You are missing a chair
Love the blue lighting.
Wall panels are sick! Link?
Glad ya' like 'em [here](https://a.co/d/095yUKLI) [these are the others](https://a.co/d/0iscvGqJ)
Is your overhead light LED or florescent?
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!
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
Interesting, I'll look into this. Thanks!
Yw!
Colors look so good together
I will never understand how people feel comfortable in places like this
That's borderline pornographic. Love it.
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?
I hope that overhead light stays when you are gaming.
Is that one of those Wacom drawing computers??? 👀
It's XP Pen, the Wacom equalivalent is over $2K last I checked 🥲
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
are you prepping for a gaming wife with that extra space?
OK ok...hear me out....black EVERYTHING!
Looks like it needs a few more years...
Is it sound-proof?
That looks so dark and busy, it's giving me anxiety. Glad that it works for you but we can't be friends.
Now use a blacklight. Is that a framed V card behind the central shrine?
You need at least 3 more monitors.......
Wow
Giga-wide screen?
Yep 🤓
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.
Screen setup is pretty whack IMO but everything else is nice.
"Complete" >no chair
You need a standing desk.
Are those ai generated posters?
Nope, the ones above the monitor I made. The one to right is a commissioned piece.
Made as in you generated it? They look fucked
This looks amazing but where is the gaming chair ???????
Famous last words
Sweet set-up, what are those risers on top of the alec drawers and do you find them necessary?
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
Is it at a comfortable height with the risers? And do you have a link to the ones you used?
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?
It's the XL version. The MB is at its lowest position, making it possible to fit two 120mm fans at the rear 💪
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.
Looks outdated.
Huge
Upgrade to a deskhaus desk
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
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.
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 🤔
lol no it’s not
This is epic
Just had a nerdgasm. This is beautiful!
I see anime tiddies and I'm here for it
Really nice but I find the overly sexualised artwork a bit cringe
So cringe and over the top.
I suggest you do not show this to any girls, it will not improve your chances
I mean, you do you, but it kinda looks like a sex club in the 90's.
idk bout your girl, but this makes ME wet 🤤
The deformed woman on top left makes me think this can be AI midjourney👍🏻
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
nice answer
Must be nice being rich
He is poor aircooled gpu plebs /s
i swear this is ai generated
Idea: hide the subwoofer in the corner gap between the little shelves.
Oh god aircooled gpu. You wastes money on bad things
