Love the colors, looks ice cool :).... what's the light below your monitors?
those are yongnuo rgb lightsticks v2! I use them for photoshoots/video shoots!
I imagine this is what a fly sees before hearing the zap
HAHAH! and i literally have the same mosquito zapper right outside
Speakers?
Audoengine A2. I love mine, combine with a good soundcard.
Wireless? I was looking at these the other day but wanted wired but couldn’t find them anywhere in stock.
oh shoot idk if they have a wireless but i wouldve definitely loved that over wired!
I really wanted to love the Audioengine A2s but they just did not sound as good as I was expecting. They seemed almost perfect for the size too. Ended up returning and going with a passive setup.
really? hmmmm i thought they sounded great-little lackluster bass but it's hard to find small, white desktop speakers at that price point!
The pair I had were really bad in the mids. Any kind of rock music sounded super muddied and echo like. The $100 gaming headphones I had sounded so much better I couldn’t go back to those speakers. Unfortunate because I really wanted to like them and they were the perfect size for my desk.
We’re they also white? Do you have a recommendation?
There’s The Kanto S2 speakers I heard are supposed to be competitive to the A2+ and about the same price. If you want something more premium, I’ve seen good things about Kef speakers but they are quite higher in price.
I bought a Klipsch Promedia 2.1 from Costco for $100. It sounds better than A2s for some reason.
For the total price of the A2+, I was able to get Klipsch R-41Ms and a Smsl amp for the same price. So much better
For me I had to curve down the bass at the low end to prevent any boomyness then they sounded awesome. To each is own though!
Was the Chair worth it?

Agreed. I will never understand how people think a racing bucket seat design from a Honda Civic is supposed to be ergonomic for someone who sits at a desk for long periods.
gotta have that gamer asthetic man.
Personally, I love my Secretlab Omega.
Me too! I’ve had mine for over 2 years now. Plus I WFH and have no regrets. Sure it’s not a Herman Miller Aeron but I also don’t have a couple thousands just laying around.
glad you guys agree! it's great!
I've had mine for a couple years now, many hours sitting in it. I've been perfectly happy with it. I'm a big and tall guy and every other chair in this price point I've used has fallen apart within the year. The Titan is built like a tank
that's awesome! i rarely hear about the titan so im glad it's worked out for you!
you know i love it! super comfortable, lots of adjustments you can play with, napping is comfortable haha warranty is nice, customer service was great to me-i'm happy with it!
I wanna know this too
I love mine!!! So for me yes. Especially with working from home as of late.
i love mine as well! i'm really happy with it overall-i know lots of mixed opinions but im at my desk wfh like everyone else for super long periods and it's been fine-little hot during summer but usually a sign to get up for a bit anyway
That's why I got the softweave version. If I got the PU Leather, you'd have to peel me off the chair with a spatula. I sweat way too much when it's hot.
HAHA! i was debating about the softweave too; how's the overall comfort/extended sitting periods on that one?
Yes, the people saying it is not worth or buy another chair have no clue what they are talking about.
I agree. I love my titan.

found the person with no context for discussion and just parrots other ideas without researching anything.

Looks awesome. Speakers in front of the monitors would drive me crazy though.
ahh you're right! i need a bigger desk-was even looking into standing pole options but i'd only fit one on the left side it's killin me
I know what you mean. I have the same issues with my desk trying to position speakers correctly and my monitors and still have it authentically pleasing.
This exact problem is why I was forced into a stacked setup for my monitors :( desperately need more space so I can fit a bigger desk lol
You must have the circadian rhythm of a drunk relative at a Jamaican resort wedding.
hahahha well i can't disagree 😉
What in the heck is that cable extension doing?
hahah uhhh...which one??
I’m guessing the GPU one. It’s an interesting way to route it and it feels off.
Both are at pretty interesting angles. Love the RGB though.
The other one I get though. He wants to show the cables he purchased and routing them behind would reduce that. I think it might look cleaner tho. But personal taste.
Love the setup but you need a bigger desk. The speakers covering the 2 inches of screen would kill me haha
100% correct hahahh i push them off to the far corners if it wasn't for the photo-HOPEFULLY i can get a bigger desk but i have another desk for filming right where this photo was taken so it'd push against each other 😭
Wow!! Nice! Reminds me of Tron.
OH didn't even think about that haha thank you!
May I ask for the models of the tube lights you’re using?
yes! they're the yongnuo rgb light sticks version 2!
Awesome clean setup :)
What's that white bar under ur monitor?
those are the yongnuo rgb light sticks version 2! there's another one right behind the god cards on the shelf haha
Love the God Cards on top of the book shelf.
Thanks! added in some details 😉
Loving this!! May I know what the light bar is? Seems as if it would mess with your eyes whilst gaming but I'm still learning hahaha
hahaha i turn it off! i mostly use it for photos/video but its the yongnuo rgb light sticks v2! same one is on my shelf
Love the neon sign!
thanks! did wish it was a bit more clean cut though-maybe it's supposed to be like that if it's custom-bent?
Clean set up, love it
thank you!
Sooooo crisp!!
hahah thanks!
That’s sweet
happy to hear that thank you!

I love my white basilisk, but would've loved wireless
