This is my first time actually setting up a battle station, it’s finally completed and I’m super stoked how it turned out. I’ve wanted this for a long time and finally pulled the trigger to go ahead and do it.
In the second photo you will see what I started with to what I have now.
What would you rate this? /10
5600x + TUF RTX 3070 + 4x8Gb 3200Mhz + B550 + 60hz 1080p
Same price. Wanting to update my boyfriend’s PC. Which am I buying? *both $1,200. All I can tell you about his current gaming computer is that it’s old. About 8-10 years 🫠
Its click good and move good and its comfy
Hi, I’m a teen what do y’all think about my gaming setup. PC build in process!!!
Going for a clean, dark battlestation look with a few premium details instead of a cluttered desk.
The setup is really about the overall room and desktop vibe, but there are a few small details that show up better when the RGB is on. I wanted everything to feel minimal and coordinated, while still having a bit of personality when you look closer.
The keyboard is part of that idea too, subtle, clean, and meant to blend into the setup rather than take it over. Those are full metal keycaps with shine-through RGB, kept understated to fit the look.
And well... as for these keycap samples, they took a lot more testing than it looks like. Different finishes, wall thicknesses, engraving depths, and light balance all mattered way more than expected. Most backlit keycaps either kill the RGB or make it look weird, so getting this right was the whole challenge.
I’m curious what people think for a setup like this: would you keep the RGB, or go fully minimal and skip it? I’m mainly trying to figure out whether the lighting adds to the premium vibe, or distracts from it. If this kind of vibe works for you, feel free to drop your thoughts here: https://forms.gle/8c9Y9udbsrp1g2qd6
If you think the RGB works here, I’d also love to know whether you’d go full set or just accent keys like WASD and arrows.
So the pc is RTX 5070, AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and the monitor is AOC G4 Q27G4SRU, 27", 300Hz, QHD, Black.
Was getting close to pulling up the carpet to put in some dark flooring, painting the walls a dark colour as well.
But as far as hardware / furniture goes, I would love a very comfortable executive chair instead of a “gaming” chair and I know I also need a new sim racing chair but unsure which direction to go.
I’m 6’1” so I don’t know if that would affect anything about purchasing? Anyone want to point me into a couple options for both chairs?
I ordered a used flexi spot desk for my gaming setup. The tabletop I bought is dark bamboo wood though it came with some lighter colored scratches.
Is there any way I can fix this? Please drop in the comments if there is any diy ways I can get rid of the scratches on my desk! Thank you!!
Hello everyone,
so I finished building my dream setup (5k+) and got a mini fridge at last. It currently sits under my table but I stub my toe and knee like 5 times a day on it. Where do I put it? I dont want it to look weird but cant bear it beneath my table anymore. Whats your guys advice? Get a separate table? Put it just beside the Table on the ground? I just cant think of a solution that I would enjoy. Any advice is much appreciated :D
“Best” two options I’ve thought of are replacing the right most monitor and moving the UW more to the left, with the assumption I move my seat back when I want to use the TV. The second is against the wall of my bed, since I technically don’t have to move or anything for it, with the caveat that there would be a large tv right next to where I sleep. I’m willing to shift the layout of the room but I think I’m cooked at this rate.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Just moved around my room and have realised my setup is really bland. Not sure where to start but I'm thinking of getting some acoustic panels already.
