we're going to be checking out some
super clean and minimal setups on
today's episode so sit back and relax
and let the setup Wars begin
[Music]

kicking off the episode is Connor and
his very clean and minimal Ultra wide
gaming setup what you're looking at is
actually a 3D render of his setup his
actual setup looks pretty damn identical
with the exception of the acoustic
panels that were swapped out with a
custom laser-cut Mountain design on the
wall everything else in the setup is
spot on and I absolutely loving The
Vibes it's crazy to think that this
setup belongs to a 16 year old you
usually see a bunch of RGB and anime
posters but this one has a very mature
atmosphere we got a massive 96 inch
Carly countertop with two Alex units for
storage and support I just love how he
stayed very consistent with the warm
tones and Industrial theme with the
steampunk lamps for peripherals he's
rocking a Razer Huntsman tkl with an
iron claw Mouse and for audio he's got a
setup audio engine A2 Plus speakers
tilted beautifully towards him and a
dedicated mic for input it definitely
looks like Connor knows what he's doing
here cable is beautifully managed on
generate a desk with some raceways
leading up into the back of his custom
PC that's equipped with a ryzen 7 2700
and an RTX 2070 super such a clean setup
it's aesthetically pleasing straight to
the point I love it nicely done Connor
[Music]
this next setup has quite the
transformation and change of scenery
compared to his last one back in July of
2020. I'm pretty sure most of us
remember this setup because of that
amazing view sandwiched by two ceiling
high glass walls definitely a massive
change in scenario no doubt but the
setup itself got a nice makeover since
last time the big change being that he
finally built his first gaming PC with
the help of the channel and it's got a
freaking monitor modded into it along
with a few other mods which you will get
into later but first the desk setup he's
walking dual monitors with a 4K 28 inch
as the main and a 24 inch and vertical
for multitasking and browsing both are
hooked up to a Sit and Stand desk from
Uno notice he's using a sound bar
instead of two pairs of speakers this
way he's able to just keep it underneath
the main Monitor and not have an awkward
speaker placement or awkward gap between
the monitors due to the vertical display
this is actually the most aesthetically
pleasing approach if you want to use
speakers with a t monitor layout he kept
the surface very clean and minimal with
just a wireless keyboard and mouse while
everything else is attached underneath
the desk we got the audio deck for his
headset and even the PS5 is under here I
like that even though he had the space
to keep them on the desk he still
decided to mount them underneath to just
further contribute to the minimal theme
he was going for cable management is
very impressive despite being a Sit and
Stand desk he did an excellent job here
he used what's called a vertebrae cable
kit to wrap the cables coming out of the
sub that way they extend and retract
with the desk and the rest of the cables
are passed through a built-in cable rack
underneath the desk through a little
cutout and into the back of his PC which
is the most interesting thing about this
setup for me there are actually a few
really cool mods done to this PC that I
want to go over real quick starting with
the 14 inch display in the front it's
actually a portable touch screen monitor
from wind mix-its and I'll link it below
for anyone interested in doing the same
mod in their o11 mini you just need to
buy an angled HDMI adapter to feed the
monitor to the back of your GPU he also
modeled the case so it's able to fit in
a full ATX motherboard and a 360
millimeter AIO on the top in fact I'll
drop a link to the poets video where he
shows how he did both mods if anyone is
interested as far as Aesthetics go I
think the wall looks very bare you might
not have glass windows anymore but you
can still come up with some really nice
ways to add a bit of decoration but with
that said I think the setup was still an
upgrade overall from your last
submission thanks for coming back on the
show
up next we have an industrial mechanic
from Germany this is Rafael's gaming and
video editing setup that took about one
year to complete looks like the setup
was built in his attic judging by the
angled ceiling unless bedrooms like this
are common in Germany we got a custom
made corner desk with vinyl wrapping and
a custom wall with those 3D art panels
but looking at it from an angle you can
see that it used a few metal brackets to
add spacing between them in order to
hide all those cables behind it and also
to add an RGB strip for some ambient
lighting the secondary setup is more of
a workstation with a two in one laptop
and a wireless keyboard while the main
setup has a 40 inch Ultra wide with a 27
inch in vertical mode below that we got
the dk61e keyboard paired with a Razer
Viper ultimate with clean cable routing
across the desk using a few cable clips
it doesn't look like the setup uses any
speakers but it does have a Corsair hs80
headset and a dedicated mic that's
tucked behind the ultra item the PC
powering it all is a beautiful white
theme custom build inside the Corsair
4000d we got the 10 700 KF and an RX
5600x that's been painted in white very
nice mod and a very nice setup thank you
to Raphael for sharing this with us
[Music]
this next setup is definitely pushing
the boundaries of minimalism considering
his rocking triple displays but the
setup still looks very clean so I'll
make the exception so this is William
setup and he built it for gaming content
creation and editing and it took him
about three years to complete which
means he started his setup Journey when
he was just 10 years old considering he
is 13 now I'm not gonna lie for a 13
year old this is pretty damn impressive
most people might think it's Overkill
but I don't think so especially
considering he uses the setup for more
than just gaming I do like the model
layout though we have a 32 inch 165
Hertz as the primary a 24 inch up top as
an overhead and a third one pushed off
to the side for multitasking and
monitoring I don't know what it is with
minimalistic setups and not having a
mouse pad but I've noticed it's a trend
for some reason same with the speakers
most minimal setups don't use any just a
pair of headphones or in Williams case
Astro 850s that he swaps between his PC
and Xbox William if you're watching this
video help and you're really serious
about becoming a content creator or just
video editing in general I highly
recommend investing into a pair of
really nice headphones eventually I
don't have any complaints when it comes
to the cable management I think you did
a pretty good job keeping everything
organized underneath the desk and
finally we got the PC that's powering it
all it's equipped with an Intel 10400f
and a GTX 1070. even though the setup is
nicely executed there's nothing really
exciting about it that separates it from
the rest of the crowd however for a 13
year old it's one hell of a setup with a
solid foundation to improve upon I can
only imagine what the setup
transformation would look like in the
next five years or so thank you William
for sharing this with us and I'm looking
forward to seeing you back on the show
one day
wrapping up the episode is our very
first submission from a dentist that's
right Zach is a dentist from British
Columbia Canada and this is the setup
that he uses to work from home okay
matters saying that I should read the
setup's purpose real quick
um okay we got gaming editing 360 videos
which I'm not exactly sure what that
means modifying my patience Invisalign
treatment plans
I'll be specific and listening to Tim
Dillon scream at me in high fidelity
audio
who's Tim Dylan
oh God I'm probably gonna get roasted in
the comment section for this
oh he's a comedian
why haven't I heard of him
anyways the setup is built on a custom
Home Depot butcher block and it's been
finished with Danish oil and sealed with
three coats of water lock and finally
polished to 2 000 grit that is one good
looking tabletop if I say so myself it's
also very deep he has so much extra
space to work with I love the distance
between a monitor and the edge of the
desk while his peripherals also seemed
to be a common theme in minimal setups
we got a wireless rk61 paired with a
Logitech g703 Lightspeed for audio Zach
did not cheap out he went with the kef
ls50 studio monitors but switches to the
arctis pros for gaming speaking of which
he games and listens to Tim Dylan
screaming at him on his custom water
cool PC that he built inside the o11
mini we got a ryzen 7 5800x paired with
an RTX 2080 TI it's a nice build but
there's some questionable choices no
doubt like why did you go with a copper
GPU block instead of nickel and what's
up with the bizarre fan configuration
why do you have exhaust fans in the
bottom and intake on the top the case is
going to fight for airflow since all the
hot air is going to eventually rise also
you did a full custom Loop but you
decided to stick with the stock cables
why didn't you spend an extra 25 and go
with cable extensions from Amazon
they're super cheap surely that isn't a
problem considering you can afford a two
thousand dollar speakers right it just
seems like you cut a lot of Corners with
the PC and as a result it overshadows
the effort you put into the rest of the
setup especially since you've done such
a good job with that said I do love the
effort you put into the wall it looks
like this was white before so you
painted it and you took advantage of the
very little space it offers by
decorating it with wall shelves and
plants I would have loved to see the
same effort put into the custom PC but
it's only a minor detail in an otherwise
very impressive setup as always guys let
me know in the comment section which of
these setups was your absolute favorite
if you want to see more minimal setups
like this on the show consider tossing a
like And subscribe if you're new here
because I do host setup ores every other
Monday thank you so much for watching
and I'll see you guys very soon in the
next one
recording audio three two one
for episode three two one hey
