As always you guys can find the gear for everyones setups down below along with anything I reccomend

Andre, Angel, Javiar.. Javier.. Javier! Jeanluc and John.
I think thats how you say it.. "johnluc" or "junluc", Congratulations for making it on the show.
Starting of the episode we have Andre with a very refreshing setup, it kind of feels like I'm in a forest
somewhere with all of these plants and bamboo sticks in the background.
I'm definitely feeling this relaxed vibe just by looking at this.. I can only imagine what it feels like actually
using this setup every single day.
Add some tropical rain sound effect on those speakers and this will be an awesome productivity setup
[Tropical rain]
So, yeah enough of being sidetracked lets get back into the actual setup.
So Andre's using a 29 inch LG UltraWide monitor which he overclocked to 75Hz
and he's also using the funk, KB460 Keyboard with the Cherry MX reds, right next to the Logitech g502
RGB Spectrum mouse
and we also have a drawing pad right above that.
If I were to have a TV in my setup, this is exactly the way I would have it set up about 10ft away from the actual
desk
Most people have their desks against the wall with their TV right above it, which i dont understand completely.
I mean, what if you're on the computer and want to watch something on the TV at the same time
you have to constantly look up and down if that were the case.
But Andre's situation, all he has to do is tilt his eyes slightly above, to see whats on the TV.
Desk setups don't have to be right against a wall, especially if you want to mount a TV.
Andre's setup is a prime example of that.
Even the cable management is not affected by not having a desk against a wall.
He hooked up a power strip and a few cable racks to keep all of the wires off of the ground
and routed the rest of the cables down the legs.. Excellent work.
He does have a pair of Superlux HD's hanging from one side of the desk and on the ground is the PC
which has a 4790k and a RX470.
Overall a well put together setup, thank you Andre for entering.
At first I thought this next setup had four displays! But it turns out it's only a triple monitor setup
With a poster on the wall, surrounded by a bunch of acoustic foams.
Ok, we get it! youre a big fan of the Joker, we got the joker wallpaper, figurines and even some posters,
come to think of it, this actually has a black and purple theme as well.
So he is rocking 3 Acer 24 inch gaming monitors at 144hz refresh rate each
and on the table, we have the Corsair K70 RGB keyboard and Corsair M65 mouse,
which by the way, he drilled a hole for cable management! Nice work!
Also on the desk we have a pair of Klipsch speakers and a PS4 Console.
By the way. Did you know that DBrand has a purple skin on their website?
You should definitely pick some up for your console.
They also have got skins for headphones, laptops, smartphones and a bunch of other devices,
so if you guys want to spice up your setup, make sure to check them out ill drop a link down below!
For audio he is using a blue snowball ice microphone and a pair of status audio monitoring headphones
that are hanging from a CoolerMaster 212 evo, CPU cooler... Hey if it works, It works right?
Cable management seems to be under control it looks like the IKEA Signum is holding up majority of the cables.
and he's also added some LED's under the desk to give it that "underglow" effect.
The PC thats powering this setup has a 4790k and a EVGA GTX 1070. Paired with a GTX 980.
And it looks like in the notes he stated that he will be upgrading to a second GTX 1070, very soon.
A very nice joker themed setup! Thank you Angel for entering!
At number 3 we have Javier with a beautiful laptop powered Triple monitor setup!
On a custom made desk!
He has a 34" curved UltraWide monitor from dell in the middle and two 27" monitors on the sides.
Which are mounted on the desk. I guess he did that to align all 3 displays together... Nice job.
Im still shocked that a single laptop can power 3 monitors. That's pretty impressive!
He's also using wireless peripherals, the Microsoft Designer keyboard and logitech MX Master mouse.
Javier did such a good job on keeping everything symmetrical as well so I have to give props on that.
For audio he is rocking a pair of Logitech z333 speakers, a Shure SM58 microphone and the popular m4X's
resting on the SilverStone headphone stand, which by the way is the one i'm using for my setup as well.
Cable management is pretty much flawless! He's got some 3M tape, cable clips, raceways
and even Velcro straps holding everything together.
I mean, if it weren't for that power outlet being visible, this setup would be practically wireless.
Oh! So it looks like he does have an actual PC! It appears to be a pre-built CyberPower PC down here
which actually makes more sense now.
I knew a laptop couldn't power 3 monitors, that's absurd.
Cable management isn't the only thing that's nice and tidy, his entire room is!
All the drawers are organised and i'm really loving those Blue Lounge cable organizers you are using.
I might just pick some up for myself...
Ill also drop links down below if you guys want to check them out but definitely one of the cleanest setups i've
seen in a while. Thank you Javier for entering!
Speaking of white and black setups, here's another one!
Jeanluc is rocking a 32" Phillips monitor, a Roccat Isku keyboard, and a tyon mouse
on top of the Glorious extended mousepad.
Props on staying consistent with the entire theme.. uhh - Oh wait, you have a black and blue headset...nevermind..
Speaking of audio! We have a Dell surround sound speaker system, which, honestly it defeats the purpose
of placing them right in front of you..
I mean, they are supposed to surround you, so maybe put two of them behind you, somehow.
Cable management is clean! Everything is tied together neatly and mounted under the desk,
Job well done! I have no complaints here.
Even his PC case is white, it has a 4790k and a GTX 980Ti.
Honestly, if it werent for your headset this would have been a flawless black and white setup,
but you know what? Ill leave a few headset options down below that will go really well with your setup! So make sure to check it out.
Thank you Jean for entering!
Last but not least we have John! And an insane quad display setup!
A 27" Acer predator, in between two 27" acer monitors and a massive 40" 4k tv from samsung!
On the desk he has a Razer Chroma, Blackwidow keyboard and a Razer Epic Naga mouse on top of the
Razer Firefly mousepad.
For audio he has a pair of BOSE companion 2 speakers and a HyperX Cloud 2 headset
Thats pretty much it for the surface of the desk, and theres not much going down under the desk as well.
The backboard of the desk is blocking out the cables so I can't really give you any feedback.
The computer on the other hand, GOD DAYUM! This thing is a beast!
It's rocking a 5820k and two MSI GTX 1080's! in S-L-I!
Other than picking up a hanger for your headset, this is a pretty straight forward, overkill setup.
Excellent job, staying consistent with the color scheme, and thank you John for entering!
