And we're back, you guys.
Welcome back to another episode of Setup Wars.
Today we're gonna be looking at some girl setups
to give some inspiration to the ladies out there
looking to upgrade or build their very own
as always I want to make it clear that I'm making a separate dedicated girl edition.
so that it's easier to search and find on the internet
but yeah with that said sit back and relax
and let the Setup Wars begin!
[Intro Music]
What would you do if the glass frame
holding up your diploma came crashing down
and shattering right on top of your PC?
well that's what happened with Annie's setup
but surprisingly that didn't stop her from fixing it
and putting it back up near the PC.
What if it happens again?
So, this is Annie's super clean all-in-one setup.
She built this in just six months
for gaming, photo editing, and working from home.
We have a TIE fighter monitor layout
with a 27-inch dell monitor as the main
and a 24-inch PROART display on the side
that she uses for photo editing and multitasking
I gotta say this is the first time in Setup Wars history
that I have seen these legs in a setup
extra thick and chunky! (that's what she....)
definitely looks more sturdy than those cheap Adils legs from IKEA.
but I feel like you don't really need them
considering you have two Alex units underneath for support
but at the same time it doesn't really take up much legroom anyways
and it does look like you're actually using the extra space to store your laptop.
Annie's currently rocking a custom KBD67 Lite keyboard with a Logitech G305 mouse.
but she did purchase a new keyboard that's on the way
and it looks like we have a demo of her keyboard
so let's take a look real quick.
oh my god! you sound so freaking good!
gateron ink black sound like this?
I think I found my next switch.
She doesn't have that much stuff cluttering the surface
just a few small things for decorations scattered around
and then we have a corsair headset on the left
which is the only audio source for the setup
looking underneath the desk we can see the cables nicely managed in a rack
that apparently opens if you need access to it. Very nice!
The rest of the cables are managed using
a few cable clips leading into her custom PC
We got a very clean build inside the LanCool 2
case featuring the Ryzen 5 3600 and the ASUS RTX 3070.
unfortunately Annie wasn't able to secure a white GPU
but she was smart enough to pick up a custom backplate
so that it blends in better with the rest of the colors
overall a very clean and balanced work from home setup.
Thank you Annie for sharing this with us.
Coming up next is a setup that I'm very familiar with from Instagram
this is Astronuggie's latest setup before she had to move into her new apartment.
and since she sent the pictures back in April
I'm going to assume she's already built her new one.
one of the reasons this setup stood out to me the most
was the monitor layout and the way she personalized everything
this is actually the same monitor layout I am going with my wife's ultimate setup.
but instead her main ultrawide is going to be the new corsair Xeneon flex.
I know the flex doesn't have a VESA mount
but I'm gonna mod it so that i can still mount it against my headboard.
It's gonna look really cool.
So, it took her about two years to get the setup to this point.
for gaming, browsing the web, and content creation.
obviously she does everything on the main ultrawide
while using the bottom 15-inch for multitasking.
the setup is built on a sit and stand desk
but she does have two Alex units underneath for storage
and I just love the subtle contrast of the light oak against the white
I can't tell if she modded the faces
or if she swapped the drawers from a light oak model
but either way it looks very clean.
And I love that she carried over the consistency across the rest of the setup.
She's using a Dustsilver keyboard with custom keycaps that she designed herself
and printed from Alibaba.
And then we have an Alienware wireless mouse.
I can also tell she works very efficiently
judging by the amount of macro pads and the additional stream deck up top
the synergy is there.
now for audio she does use the Dyna3 speakers.
for music and watching content.
but for gaming she switches over to the Logitech G733 headset
that she keeps on a top shelf.
I'm very impressed with the cable work work considering it's a sit and stand desk
and I just think she did a good job overall keeping everything nicely organized.
the monitor riser on the left
was a great idea to add additional storage space
while contributing to the look at the same time.
speaking of look I'm not necessarily a huge fan of the Nano leaf line design on the wall.
I personally think it takes away from the setup
but i do like what you did with the Govee Glide bars instead.
having it outline the top shelf and the 3DR panels looks really cool
and adds to the symmetry of the setup.
Powering everything is a custom all-white PC inside the Neo Qube.
it's packing the 11700k with a GTX 1070TI.
looks like we have another custom backplate in here with some cable extensions
but if you want to take it one little step further
you can pick up a super cheap heat sink on Amazon
and paint it in white if you want to cover the m.2 SSD
but overall a very clean build, that complements your setup nicely.
feel free to submit your setup at your new apartment Astro once it's ready.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Coming up next is our setup spotlight of the episode
remember that?
well I'm bringing it back.
so this is Chestina's setup she's an office manager from Kansas.
who built the setup for work, gaming, and content creation.
I'm pretty sure we're all thinking the same thing here, right?
The desk layout is far from optimal.
there is no way your neck is not hurting
after sitting there for a few hours
and not just in one occasion but both
turning your head for both the monitors in the corner
is just as bad as having to look up to your TV
I really hope you are at least sitting back
while gaming on the tv with your Nintendo switch.
the biggest inhibiting factor here is the desk no doubt. It's just not deep enough.
and since she put the monitors in the corner
there is simply not enough space left for the keyboard and mouse
so she was forced to put them on the side
it does seem like you're pretty limited in space
but if you want a more practical setup
I would sell that corner desk and pick up a single surface desk instead.
something that is at least 25 inches deep
get rid of the shelf under the TV
and mount your main display against the wall using a low profile mount
you can keep your secondary monitor on a desk mount if you want.
but this will give you plenty of distance between your face and the main monitor
your spine and your neck will thank me.
you can also move both speakers underneath the monitor.
and use the extra space in the corner for your switches and decorative pieces.
oh yeah! you definitely have space for that
judging by this pic there is a lot of extra space you can take advantage of
by moving your furniture closer
and trust me every inch adds up quickly
this will also make it easier for you to manage the cables
since everything will be much closer to your pc
if you do eventually swap the desk
you will have a much more comfortable setup to game on regardless.
Thank you Chestina for sharing this with us
Coming at number four is Fatima's super cozy gaming and streaming setup.
she's a student from Qatar who built the setup in just five months.
I always mention this to everyone who's submitting photos for Setup Wars
or even if you're just posting on social media.
the least you guys can do is hide your icons on your desktop.
at least after you take your pictures it will look a lot cleaner in the photos.
so Fatima does everything on the main 27-inch monitor
and uses the secondary 24-inch for browsing and discord
both monitors are mounted to the Beckant corner desk and for peripherals
she's rocking a ducky one 2 mini with a model 0 wireless in matte black.
I noticed that she has way more space
against the wall to go with a bigger desk
but still chose to go with something more compact
and she did a really great job keeping everything organized.
there are benefits of going with a compact desk
everything is just within reach like her GO XLR and the Stream Deck XL.
She's got two different sources for audio it looks like.
The speakers are for music and the Astro A50s are for gaming.
however she does have a dedicated mic and camera for streaming.
great work with the cable management!
it looks like she added a few racks to help store everything
and she attached a power strip up here as well
finally powering everything is her amazing custom PC.
that's packing an 11900K with an ROG Strix 3070.
What a beautiful compact gaming setup!
Thank you Fatima for sharing this with us!
Wrapping up the episode is Kyo's inspiring gaming room setup.
She's a cosplayer from Colorado who just recently rebuilt her setup to get on the show.
because she wasn't happy with her last submission
which sadly didn't get accepted.
well, Kyo you officially made it, congratulations!
The setup definitely looks more refined than the last one.
you have a much better desk layout, things are more organized
and you did a better job in personalizing the setup.
the heart-shaped Nanoleaf panels is genius
and I haven't seen that before on the show.
so the setup was rebuilt in just two months
for gaming, watching content, and photo editing.
We got a total of three displays
that are split into two different setups
the main setup uses two 27-inch MSI monitors.
that she mounted to the desk
and the other 43-inch tv is mostly for entertainment and watching content.
she's definitely dedicated to the pink theme
and Razer makes it really easy to commit
with their quartz lineup.
all her peripherals are from Razer including one of her gaming headsets.
that she keeps underneath the desk
and even her speakers are in pink.
I'm surprised you didn't just skin the bezels of your monitors along with the Alex units.
but I guess that would have been too much.
the cables are managed pretty good for the most part.
but there is one thing you can do
to make the cable routing easier for you
instead of going with a super long raceway
you can go with multiple shorter ones instead
what this does is it gives you extra space between each raceway
to route the cables between instead of going over them.
but overall you did a pretty good job keeping all the wires contained.
finishing up with the custom PC that is powering it all.
We got a 10900K in here paired with an RTX 3060.
inside of a pink case.
I think if anyone is looking to do a pink themed setup
this submission will be inspirational
Thank you Kyo for sharing this with us!
As always let me know which of these setups was your favorite from today's episode.
Do let me know by tossing a like and I'll see you guys very soon in the next one!
