What's going on, guys are driving consumers. And of course, we are back at the micro center. If you couldn't tell, you know what I like to call this place, tech heaven, I call it tech having, because all the tech that you usually see online, this is the place where you get to see it in person. Now, if you guys don't know, Microsoft has 25 locations across the country. If you haven't been to one trust your boy, try to find one close to you and check it out. And if you've never been to a micro center before now is the time because new customers get a coupon to get a free 240 gigabyte SSD when you go into stores. So if you like free stuff and you've never been here before, I'm telling you now is the time, but check out the link that I have in the description.

Every Console in one Gaming Desk Setup! |
So you can learn more today. We've got a very special video. I've got this cool desk set up that I've been working on for a few months now. And I wanted something really clean and I knew Microcenter would be the spot to go and get everything that I needed to make that thing come alive. Now, if you guys don't already know Microsoft, his website has a custom PC builder that you can throw all the parts inside of and then have a micro center, build it for you and you just go pick it up. So that's what I went and did. I'm going to go get my PC now and get this desk set up, put together. All right guys. So we've got our PC it's time to get started. So here it is guys. This is the beast that I picked up over at micro center is built in this thermal tape, mid-tower case, which I'll of course have linked down below in the description, as well as all of the other cool stuff that I mentioned that you can find at micro center.
Now we won't run through all of the components in this PC, but I'll throw up a list of that. You guys can see it here and you guys can see it from the spec list. This machine is an absolute beast and gaming on it has been crazy fun. I'm kind of killing it when I'm playing on this thing. Uh, so if you guys want to learn how to build up your PC, definitely check out the PC builder. Micro center has tons and tons of great options. Whether you want to build a PC yourself or have them do it. So we went with this, a Seuss Rogg crosshair, eight dark hero motherboard. And this is perfect for a new PC build. Since it's one of the few motherboards out right now that explicitly mentioned that it's windows 11, ready? Now, this guy is also packing in the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 X processor. And of course, you know, we had to put a decent graphics card inside of here. So we're rocking with an ASIS Rogg Strix 30 ADTI. So we've got more than enough power to get all the kind of gaming that we want to do as well as creative stuff if we want to. But I know you guys want to see the desk set up, so let's get started, but all right, guys, here it is. This is the setup that I've been working on for the last few weeks.
All
Right, guys, check it out. This is like our chill, very calm vibe. That's set up. Now. This one, I had some big ideas for, I wanted it to be a really clean setup, but it can be used for just about anything. So we've got, of course, the behemoth, this gaming PC that we've got set up over here. You talked about this already and everything that it's got inside of it, but we've also got underneath PlayStation five X-Box one S as well as an intended switch, hidden in the back. So the whole idea is to not have them in the way, makes it easy to run the cables back there as well, and everything I need to access them right here. So we pretty much got all of the gaming consoles here, including the PC. So however you want to gain this setup is going to allow you to do that.
Now, first of all, the desk that we're using right here is from artifacts. They offer a few variations of these desks in different finishes, different colors, but they also have accessories. If you want to have a nice clean, organized space. And I knew whatever I would bring to this setup had to look super clean. One thing you'll notice is no RGB lights over here. We just wanted it to be nice, I know, right? We know light strips. We've got a little RGB on the mouse and keyboard, but I feel like we could get away with that. That's fine. Right, Jay. But honestly, this desk has been huge, uh, because it offers quite a bit more than you would expect. So we've got little studs here for things like our gaming headsets in the back, we've got tons of cable management. It's like a nice sheet of metal with holes so that you can run your cables through it and even have a strap to it.
It helps us to achieve a nice look, even though you guys can see, we've got all kinds of tech over here, uh, but cables are not running rampant. Uh, and let me tell you guys, it took some time to make it happen. Okay. It was not easy. We've got some additional pieces like this guy right here. This can be removed. If you want to have a nice monitor, sit on top of here. You can do that. We've also got nice trays and like books that they make so that if you know, you want to sit down and jot down some notes, maybe you want to use this for not a super tech out area. They've got some cool stuff so that you can just have a beautiful setup. But this artifacts desk is really what drove the whole idea for the setup to something nice and clean while still being able to do anything that you wanted it all of course have them linked down below as well as everything that you can pick up from the micro center in the description.
Now, the monitor that I went with is from the LG ultra gear line. If you didn't know, LG has an ultra gear line, which is geared towards gamers. It pretty much has everything you would want in a gaming monitor. 144 Hertz, one millisecond response time. It's a nice large display at 34 inches. So if you're looking for like an ultra monitor, uh, this thing has pretty much everything you'd want. And some Archie BJ, we forgot about, we forgot about this one. There's some RGB back here too. It's very subtle, but it's in the back. Uh, when all the lights are off, you know, you get like a faint little glow, but you get your Invidia G sync, all that good stuff. So if you want to game on here, which we do, we'll be able to do that with no problem. Now, gaming here is the whole point of the setup, and it's very clear, uh, based on the mouse keyboard and all the controllers that we've got over here.
So check this out. You guys, first of all, we got to talk about the stand that the controllers are sitting on. So this is custom-made by the folks over at deep-made designs. Guys, this is amazing. We've got the X-Box elite two-controller in the middle PlayStation five controller and an intended switch pro controller. And you can probably find these controls over at the micro center. They have an insane section of controllers with tons of different ones for all kinds of systems. So you guys are gonna want to check that out and look, you can just take all of these off and you guys can see bees are crafted to hold all the controllers in place very well, all same level. It's amazing stuff. And the wood that they use. Look at this detail, look it over here, guys. This thing is translucent.
It's amazing. I never thought I'd freak out over some wood, but this thing is sick. One thing that's awesome to note is that all of the accessories that you would get inside of the elite, two controller packaging, they're all sitting right here, just like they would inside of the case. Even the wireless charger, which functions that is super cool. One of the biggest centerpieces to this whole setup, I have them linked down below in the description as well. They are worth checking out. And you guys might've noticed, we went with like an all-black vibe over here since this is like what we're doing. We're doing the wood and black. Uh, so we got a black PlayStation, five controllers, elite, two controllers, always black. And we got this Nintendo switch pro controller. That's from like, this is the monster hunter rise edition.
So, it had a little bit of gold on it. It's like, all right, if it's, it looks good here. Why not now for the mouse and keyboard that we're using for our PC over here, we've got the HyperX alloy origins. This is with the blue switches. So it's nice and clicky. I like having clicky keys so it can feel like I'm pressing something. I know some people like Radware, so it's super smooth. I like the click. I give me that tactile feel. And for the mouse, we've got the pulse fire dart. Now we've got the RGB lights kind of trying to match the theme as well. Uh, so that's kind of what we've got going on over here, but HyperX makes some underrated gear. They've got high-quality stuff and they're not crazy expensive. They're low-key. One of my favorites.
We even have the HyperX cloud flight S now these are great for long gaming sessions. They're extremely comfortable, like, look at these air cushions guys, super soft. They go completely over the ear. If you want a game for a long time, this is where it's at. I love hyper Xs. Uh, gaming headsets are this. One's got some cool features. You've got controls on the sides for like volume, that kind of thing. But it also has wireless charging. You can wirelessly charge these if you want. So lots of cool stuff from HyperX. So that's kind of why we decided to just go with them. Keep that minimal look. Nothing super crazy. Fits the vibe here really well. So we've got the gaming headset when we're gaming on the PC and it also works with the PS five. And I think it can work with the none or not.
It doesn't work with the switch. I don't use it for that, but I think it might be able to work with the switch, but it doesn't work with the Xbox that we have here, but that's cool because we have the Canto you twos. So these are like, you know, some small desktop speakers. Uh, we didn't want to do anything super big here since this is not some crazy large desk, but it still has like that Walnut finish. That matches for the most part. You know, I think some of the wood might not match exactly. Like we've got this little random Ikea leaf thing that doesn't go that well, but it's all good. You know, it still hits the theme a little bit. Uh, but these, I think match for the most part. These look good. They sound great. And these are connected directly to the monitor.
So no matter what is playing on the monitor, I can have the audio going to the speakers. So no matter what system you're playing, they all produce audio from these speakers and they sound really good. Now you might be wondering how many HTMI ports does this monitor has? Right. Well, it's got a single one and it's got a display port, of course. So we got that connected to the PC, but to make this work, we had to use something from the folks over at rocket fish. Oh, Dan, I've got it taped down, Jay. It's cool. We'll throw it some B roll. So we've got an HTMI splitter in here, so you can connect up to four different things with HTMI and whenever I want to switch, I just use this little remote, and then with this, I can go to whatever console that I want.
Uh, and it works pretty well. I don't notice any lag. It also supports 4k and HDR. So, you know, it's one of the most high-quality HTMI glitters that I've used. It's a little expensive, but it's what made this whole thing come together. Uh, so it was worth checking out. Uh, but yeah, that's pretty much what we've got going on over here. Anything that we're missing J the switch. Oh, I'm glad you asked. So behind the controllers, uh, the artifacts have an extra little spot. We've got our switch sitting right here and you might be wondering how you, how have you got it connected over here since there's no dock, right? Well, there is a dock in the back, uh, in our surge protector. We've got the janky convert dock. Uh, and with that, we're able to just plug in the HTMI cable to it.
And we're also able to plug in the cable, the USB-C cable that goes to the switch. So that's where the switches nice low key can't even see that it's there. And that was the idea to keep the consoles out of sight. And then whenever you just want to use it, you just grabbed the controller from up here and you're kind of good to go. We can't exactly hide this guy. So it's got his little island over here that it sits on, but that about wraps it up for this video guys. Hopefully, you enjoyed it. This is just a project that I've been working on. I wanted a really clean setup that houses pretty much anything that you can play. This is the gamer's paradise that this, the setup is living in. So it's only right. Camera's paradise coming soon, baby. It's coming soon in a few months, but yeah, know this thing is perfect for this area.
But again, I want to give a huge shout-out to the micro center for having all of the gear necessary to make this set up. You can find just about anything over there and you guys can see why it's becoming my one-stop shop for just about anything that's set up related. Hopefully, you got some ideas. Now. I'm not saying you're going to be able to just copy this, but hopefully, it gave you some ideas into how you might want to do your setup.
