Hello everyone it's SpawnPoiint and today I want to show you around my new gaming desk setup it's
something that I've been working on over the last few months and I have shared a couple of photos
and stories over on Instagram but I've never done an actual tour well today I'm going to cover it
all including what I've used where it's from and some cool features that you might want to include
in your own setup and the big one for me is this new secret lab desk which could be the end game
of all gaming desks everything I show you today is linked down in the description along with any
discount codes that I might have found so if you are interested make sure you check those out and
thank you to Coursera for sponsoring a portion of today's video first up I've got to talk about the
standing desk it's from Secretlab and it's called the Magnus Pro XL and this all black metal desk
is on a whole different level to anything else I've seen firstly the packaging that it comes
in immediately makes it look and feel premium The Branding the manuals even this little Secretlab
toolkit that you get everything is well labeled and packaged and the instructions are clear enough
that within about 30 minutes you should be up and running the legs are pre-built and you just need
to slot them onto the frame and connect them to the plugs then you attach the two feets by lining
them up unscrewing them in these little brackets will then fit into the back of the desk and this
is how the cable management tray is installed now we just need to flip it over install the top
cover and voila the desk is built so as you can see it's a full black metal desk and this thing
looks and feels really nice so although you could use the desk without a pad it's probably best to
add one and I actually opted for their signature black magpad which is a full magnetic desk pad
that it covers the entire desk now as this Dash is metal it means that the pad actually sticks to the
top with no creases or folds plus it means once it's in place it will never slide around
So the model that I have here is the pro XL and that measures 177cm by 80cm but there's
also a smaller one which is 150cm by 70cm and looking at it this could be the cleanest gaming
desk out there right now there's some subtle branding throughout including the Magnus logos
on the pad and on the back cover as well as some Secretlab logos scattered around the frame and
something I really like is that secret lab have actually integrated the control panel into the
desk itself and this just looks awesome there's a physical button to turn it on and off which means
the LED panel isn't always on when you don't need it then when I want to move the desk up
and down I just need to press the green or the Red Arrows or of course I can use one of the
three preset buttons I have number one set to the sitting position and I have number two set
to standing sure I don't stand every single day but the fact is I can adjust the height of the
desk to the perfect height for both sitting and standing and the motors on this are crazy quiet
but these next two features are what makes this desk a real game changer first up I spend way too
much time on cable management doing everything I can to hide every single cable out of sight but
this tray takes care of all of that all you need to do is open the cover pop all of your cables or
power packs inside and that's it and not only that you cannot see any of these cables under the desk
and here's the big one this desk has the world's first fully integrated power supply column this
means no more power cables hanging down as they are inside the leg there is literally a plug at
the top and bottom so you don't need to try and hide these cables down the side all I've done is
popped an extension cable inside the tray and that powers everything on the desk and when I
need to swap any of the cables it's just a case of opening the cover and I can do it all from the top
there's only one issue that I've got which is I still need to use an ethernet cable for now
I've hidden the cable inside this magnetic sheath which simply sticks to the side of
the desk and keeps the cables out of sight but secret lab are working on a lan cable extension
accessory it's listed on their website as coming soon this will be a brilliant accessory once it
launches and something I will grab as soon as it does but until then this will do fine
so I get a lot of comments about this chair asking where it's from or what it is well it's
from Herman Miller and it's their Embody Logitech Edition and that was a three Herman Miller chairs
that I own this was my first and is still my favorite I actually originally picked it based on
its design alone as it looks like a gaming chair but not like the rest and this chair is crazy
comfy like it fully supports your back and posture and even after an entire day or night sitting here
I never get back ache the rear is designed to flex As you move so there's no hard outer frame so as
I move it moves with me it then has all of the usual adjustments like seats and arm positioning
to get it just right for you the only thing it doesn't have is a headrest now I went with the
all black option but it's also available in four different colors on their website I think this is
probably the nicest looking chair that they sell and although the casters will easily roll around
on carpet I do have one of these hard plastic mats underneath firstly because it does make it
a little easier to move around and secondly it protects my carpet underneath from wearing out
it's got spikes on the bottom to keep it in place and it's a solid piece rather than a roll so it
doesn't fold or crease and the monitor that I'm using is this 27 inch OLED gaming monitor
from LG it's called the 27GR95QE and for me it's probably one of the nicest looking monitors I've
used on my setup it not only looks great with the ultra thin bezels and frame but as it's an
OLED to the picture quality View and angles and black levels are incredible I'm using it with
the PS5 but it is capable of up to 240 hertz so it would be great for PC gaming too then it has
the usual vrr HDMI 2.1 and even DisplayPort 1.4 the only thing it lacks is it's not 4K as it is
limited to 1440p but on a screen this size you would struggle to notice the difference anyway
but one cool feature that I like about these Ultra game monitors are the rear designs it's got this
nice hexagon LED strip you can actually change the colors of in the settings I'll be honest it's not
super bright but it still looks nice in the setup and instead of fiddling around with the little
button under the monitor to adjust the settings this one actually comes with a remote control it
makes it so much easier for messing around with the settings or bringing up the game Optimizer
mode and holding the monitor up is this Secretlab Magnus Arm I normally only use these stands or
the feet that the monitors come with but I've decided with this setup to give one of these arms
a try now as it's designed for the Magnus desk it fits perfectly the base slides onto the desk and
it screws into place and the arms just slot onto that then as it's a vesser supported arm it means
any monitor that has either 75 or 100 millimeter vesser holes and up to eight kilograms in weight
will fit fine so this is the first time I've ever used a monitor arm on my gaming setup and this
has converted me to using one all of the time I love this clean look and how the monitor is just
floating here I also have full control over where I want it to sit it can be tilted both Horizon
or vertically moved up and down as well as forwards and backwards on top of that it has
a nice Cable Management solution built in these are magnetic clips that you can use to hide your
cables inside then you simply stick them under the arms to keep them out of the way the only
cable that you might see is the one hanging down behind the bottom plate but other than that it's
a pretty clean design let me tell you about today's sponsor Coursera they offer thousands
of courses through their sites from data science to languages programming and even time management
but the category that stands out to me the most probably due to my background in web development
are the Google programs they cover data analytics digital marketing I.T support are my favorite ux
design being able to follow the design process and understanding the foundation of ux will not only
help you improve customer retention but it will increase conversions and sales in your projects
this is a huge benefit to any business that you want to work for now the certification is beginner
level so you don't need any previous experience to get started plus the certification is designed in
a way that it will prepare you for an entry-level role within six months and these are all
completely self-paced and you get a certificate at the end so if you want to learn something new and

so to the right of the monitor I have my PlayStation 5 which you might be surprised to
see that there's no PC here I know I should really build one but for me the PS5 does it all it's on
awesome library of games it's quiet and it's where all of my mates play all I've done is I've swapped
out the white plates and fitted the gray camo ones instead but I was tempted to go back to the black
ones although those are currently on my PS5 in the living room next to that is the Dual sensor Edge
controller and this is the official Pro Controller that PlayStation released a few months ago it's
got a couple of rear buttons as well as the adjustable triggers so you can change the trigger
stop between normal and almost instant at a click of a button now this is great for most games but
for FPS games like Call of Duty I tend to use my scuff controllers instead I find the extra
two paddles on the rear and those instant triggers are a little bit better for those games and this
here is a wooden controller stand from Geek made designs I've been using their stuff for years and
I love the way you can display your controllers in this way I've actually got two of their stands in
my setup I've got the one over on my desk and this one over here on my shelving and then on the other
end of the desk I have my headset now up until last week I was actually using the SteelSeries
Nova Pro wired headset which I've had for nearly a year but I kind of wanted fewer wires so I decided
to go for the wireless version instead now I've had quite a few headsets over the years but the
Nova Pros for me are one of the best firstly it comes with a GameDAC that allows you to tweak the
levels and the settings on this little OLED screen it's also got rotating ear cups active noise
canceling as well as a noise canceling microphone then there's the Comfort these fill premium with
the metal band but are still comfy when wearing them but for me the biggest and best feature
are the batteries not only does it have a battery life of around 22 hours which is awesome it comes
with two batteries one of those lives inside the headset which you can get to by removing the ear
cup cover and the other is actually inside the base station charging this means the headset will
never be flat as you'll always have one battery ready to go it is such a clever design and one of
the reasons I picked this over the others now I originally thought that the only difference
between the two versions was wired and Wireless but that's not the case at all in fact I might
even do a full review of these headsets over the coming weeks to show you what the differences are
and the Nova Pro Wireless while they're sitting on this Grovemade stand it's got a black leather
outside and a nice piece of walnut wood in the middle it's probably one of the least gaming
Focus headphone stands out there but I really like the look of this and I think it fits well
with the setup and this right here well this is my PlayStation 4. it's a limited edition of 500
million PS4 Pro now it launched back in 2018 when PlayStation passed 500 million console sales and
I was fortunate enough to buy one at launch now I know I could have kept it unopened in the box but
for the first two years I actually use this every single day if you ever watched my first ever room
tour video in the old house you will have seen that on the wall behind the TV well since the
PS5 launched it has been boxed up well I thought it was time to show it some love on the new setup
fortunately I still had the HIDEit mounts bracket so I'll decide as a wall mounted alongside the
desk so these brackets are solid metal and simply attached to the wall using a couple of screws then
the console slides in and it secures it in place they actually make these brackets for pretty much
every console that you can think of now you might have noticed that the PlayStation 4 still has the
protective stickers on although they are looking a little scratched and tired but the console itself
is still Immaculate underneath but yeah I am so pleased I never sold this console as I think it
looks awesome on the wall so although I'm a huge fan of RGB lighting I think going overboard with
sticking lights and panels all over your room can end up looking pretty tacky so I've got an IKEA
lamp in the corner with a LIFX bulb inside and this lets me change it from white to any color
that I like but I still wanted something else so I went for a set of these wire lights from Govee
it comes with seven pieces in the box and you can arrange them however you'd like on your wall
they can then be controlled via that app to have any color combo that you can think of I actually
only stuck five to my wall as I thought that was enough without going over the top and what I liked
about these is the fact that when they are off it kind of just looks like a piece of art it's just
a nice silver design on the wall that doesn't look like a light strip and then when they are on they
completely transform the look of the setup then behind the desk I've also added an LED strip now
most strips should stick to the back of a desk using 3M tape but this Nanoleaf set is designed
specifically for the Magnus desk it's magnetic too so it sticks to the desk with no mess at all and
what I like about all of these lights is I can have a full-on RGB Vibe at night but during the
day simply turn them off gives me a nice clean and minimal setup so the Y Lights that I have on the
wall do come with a massive plug which is a bit of a pain to hide so what I've done is I've actually
gone and hidden it behind the plant pot beside the desk and as for the plants this is a Sanseveria
snake plant which is one of the best plants to keep indoors it likes the shade and doesn't need
too much water so it's ideal for me to keep alive and then over here I have my shelves and this is
where I store and show off some of the merch I've picked up over the years things like The
Last of Us Part 2 Ellie statue I think both these statue and the box that it comes in just looks
so nice and it's also one of my favorite games on PlayStation then I've got some custom made wooden
PlayStation icons from Geekmadedesigns and they made these for me a few years ago they do also
sell these from time to time on their website so it's worth keeping an eye out next to that is the
God of War Ragnarok hammer and this came in the Jotnar Edition the detail on this is crazy and it
actually feels pretty weighty then I've got a few other things including the Last of Us metal cup
I got this when I went to the TV show premiere in London earlier this year and here is my childhood
N64 console with the classic GoldenEye game so many great memories on this console I've got a
few controllers on here as well including the SCUF reflex in Gray I'll have another one in the nebula
color both are the FPS controllers so they have the instant Mouse light triggers and they both
have the four paddles on the rear I've also very recently signed up with SCUF so if you want to
buy a controller for yourself use the code spawn and you will get 5% off your order I'll drop the
link below if you want to check it out and this is probably my favorite non-pro controller the gray
camo which matches the plates I have on the PS5 oh and here's the 500 million PS4 controller too and
that goes with the PS4 under that I have a Harman Kardon speaker and I use that for playing music as
well as turning the lights on and off in the room then there's a psvr2 Kit both the headset and the
sense controllers in their charging dock I've had a lot of fun on this already over the last few
months and I have actually covered a few videos on the channel including the best games to play right
now then we have the OLED switch console a fake plant and my collection of Steel books there's
a firefly Edition for The Last of Us on PS5 as well as The Last of Us Part 2 still book but I
think my favorite is the Spider-Man one although the Resident Evil 4 remake and the Dead Island 2
are pretty nice as well so even though I buy most of my games digitally I also have a soft spot for
the steel books I think I'll continue to buy these even though I'd rather play them digitally over
here on the wall I have my YouTube play button and that's for passing 100 000 Subs which is still
mental I cannot believe how many of you watch and follow me on here so thank you I really appreciate
it and this while I'm not sure where to put it but it's the lightsaber from Star Wars Jedi Survivor
I actually had to import the blade as they don't sell these in the UK but it's a cool collector's
edition item that I need to decide where to store it then you might wonder where this door leads to
or this is the living room this features quite a lot on the channel whenever I do a TV unboxing
it's done in here I will eventually do a full room tour but I still have a few bits I want to do
before them it's not quite finished since moving in in November and the other door well that leads
out to my hallway but let me show you this room this is my storage room where I keep all of the
boxes and Tech that I don't want lying around it's kind of how I keep the rest of the house looking
pretty tidy as for future plans I'm tempted to buy a neon sign to go above the desk that says
SpawnPoiint I've seen a few of these around and they do look good but I'm a little worried it
might look a little tacky so I'm still on the fence with this otherwise for now I am really
happy with how this has turned out it's clean and minimal but still does everything that I need when
it comes to gaming it really is my dream setup and this desk finishes off nicely but let me know what
you think to it and if there's anything that you would change or add now drop a nice gaming setup
in the comments and I'll give you a thumbs up for staying right till the end and if you did
enjoy today's video check out my LG G3 video next as I review the 77 inch OLED on the channel last
week well thanks for watching please like sub and follow me on Instagram and Twitter until next time
