so today i will be presenting you guys with the spoils of jake's little
adventure to a place called uh
ingvar kamprad entered argenyard
or as it's better known ikea where he
had one objective to build the ultimate ikea
gaming setup and some of this stuff i have
legitimately no idea how he intends to
integrate it
and this video is brought to you by
end game gear the endgame gear xm1 is an ultra lightweight mouse at 70 grams that
uses the bmw 3389 optical sensor if
you're an ambitious gamer you're going to want to check this one out at the link in the video description
now to be clear we're not settling for some pinner like you know grab a basic
table and some of the modular legs and then a chair and
we build a gaming setup we are expecting to put something resembling the ultimate
setup so we've got everything from triple 4k one 44 hertz monitors to the
sick audio engine a5 plus and s8
subwoofer sound system we've got uh oh
wow we've got some sick stuff from elgato it's apparently going to be streaming capable oh
my eyes yeah jake we don't have a camera i think our streaming street cred is uh
it's evaporating as we speak we're going to be using ah the all rog gaming pc
which is as fast as it gets for gaming today
so i guess we start with the desk you know you got to give these guys
credit you think there's no way that they can require more assembly and then
they come up with another way so this is a 3m backed
um what do you even use
i think it's for the ends no but it's already done wait it's in case you need to you
cut it yeah yeah yeah okay that's actually pretty cool yeah so we're
originally going to use the ikea gurton which is like the
r slash battle stations wonder boy of a table everybody uses that thing and it's
pretty dope except for us with a triple monitor setup it's a bit small and it
requires some finishing so you can use oil but this one pre-finished and it's
actually really cool instead of using a solid piece of wood
which could be hundreds of dollars they actually use about a quarter inch thick
veneer on here so you can sand this you can
cut it and re-finish it like whatever you want to do and it is real wood just
a little bit better for the environment and a little bit better for your wallet
ah pretty dope hey sweet looks really good yeah
um we should probably get some legs yeah why did we do this
okay so for legs we ended up going with the lurberg trestle for 15 bucks now i
actually just picked these because they look cool that was kind of my criteria but a lot
of people actually use something called the ikea alex which has drawers in it um
but we just wanted it to look cool so no drawers for us one thing we did need
because we don't have like a big drawer unit under it is a fifth leg here so
this is the olaf leg and this is gonna support it in the middle because we're
actually gonna have a freaking ton of weight on this thing not like the middle
middle because that'll get in the way of your legs but like the back middle uh
so these don't have a way to screw them in
yeah they wait oh this is just a pack wow it just sits
on it no horse that's not good enough i think
that's fine this thing is so heavy by the time we put a computer on it
really you picked it i did
i got this i can move the stuff out of the way one second
oh my god are you kidding me right now i'm clearing space holy crap oh my god stop
it's fine
oh yeah the pot is just rolling on the ground that
is a pro life tip right there jesus christ
if you want help with something really really quickly don't ask for help just
start doing it in the stupidest way possible and people will leap to their
feet to come to your age so this is called the elephant i believe
um not too up on my swedish but uh it's uh
in gloss black which i will assume means matte black it
means black leather anyway so i basically went to ikea and
sat on all of the chairs there's probably 15 i gave them about 10 minutes
each probably half of them your butt starts hurting to me i paid you to work
for three hours sitting in chairs at ikea
maybe
this one has the best butt cushion i think you're holding it right now look
at that cushion oh that's not bad that is something i got to do some pushing on
this cushion substantial cushion that's actually and it's like a really firm
cushion so it's not the kind that you go right through and then you feel the
you know the piece of plywood on the other side immediately it's like it's
got some substance to it
actually that's not bad lumbar support is pretty good it's not comfortable like
it's not like uh like oh yeah this chair
is any chair like that though well not ones that are actually like decent for
your posture no like this is this has got support though even the armrests are
actually like actually padded like if you rest your elbow on it it's not going to go right
through it uh that is not a lot of space left over
jakku are we gonna fit a rig there i think we should just do two i kind of hate it
i kind of hate it too yeah let's just do two should we throw
the tower on here and see how it looks
now the thing we do have to consider though is we still have speakers a keyboard mouse mouse pad a motion liquid
headphone stand i would probably put some like
just silicone glue on the bottom and let it cure because it right now it's like
hockey puck but i don't know how into the headphone stand i am jake well it's the all ikea
setup so you don't have a choice we had really wanted to get a5 pluses in here
but um there appears to be a bit of a
logistical problem welcome to light sync gaming speakers
for gamers oh integrated speaker wire but they use
logi attack it's like a vga port for the
rgb for all the rgb controls this is a thick cable too that's how they put
branding on the i hope that's removable
seriously it's like it's removable but it's like
it's also could just be left on there it's not one of those crappy stickers
like it definitely comes off properly still why
not for the store shelf it's retail right don't cover up my shirt this is a
great shirt and you can buy one at lttstore.com
oh oh my god we forgot the cable mounting trays on the bottom of the desk
so these will run you 14.99 each we're going to go ahead and get under the desk
here these are going to hold all of our cables that we need to manage so that
they don't just droop down the back of the desk like they're drooping down right now it's
pretty ugly is that a wireless keyboard oh yeah oh
mr minimalist everything blah blah blah linus don't you know the first thing
about minimalism i mean it's harder to reach the
plugs at the front you're not using those plugs this is a
minimal setup got a wired keyboard wow good job jake
actually they just came out with wireless keyboards we don't have them yet though
well they have a wireless one already it's just rgb crappy it's crappy
wait should we put the rgb strips on the back first wow you can get rgb strips at
ikea now yeah ah this sucks all right so
my handiwork here is finished how much are those led strips the ledberg led
strip multi-color ledburg it sounds like an rgb city
20 bucks for like three three of them yeah
with the controller and yeah it's still not great they're really
small leds too we should stick the button underneath the desk somewhere you
should see his arm abs those are cool arm abs what the hell is an arm ab i
don't know you heard you're here first ladies and gentlemen arm abs
here click the button and the red does not look good okay so
we're on color change mode now harsh color change so if i press it
again i think it freezes there so i'm a little
confused yes wait i figured it out
the usb goes in the back of the sub doesn't it why would they keep that's like from one of their mice i know did
you show them that no it's it's one of like oh it definitely like
stabilized micro bs instead of just using a better connector in the first
place they put this like it definitely goes in here i know it does the thing is
i told you it goes in there why do you not believe me when i say things okay
full disclosure i did set this up beforehand it was a terrible experience
i would genuinely not recommend this if you're not like
very patient but what is this so
the like ikea light bulbs so this hub to get it to work i had to
wait for it to update which took two hours before it updated um
and the servers are in sweden yeah yeah yeah and then this is like the controller thing so it's zigbee and
there's a little button in there and a button cell battery yeah and i guess the
battery that it came with was not charged enough so it wouldn't update i left it for like four hours and then i
left it overnight and it still didn't update so i replaced the battery updated
in like two minutes okay and then it worked fine okay but like
as somebody that wouldn't know to try stuff like that and hasn't screwed with
lights before these are not fun it's wired yeah what i guess that means it's
going to be more reliable yeah i guess like mount this thing to your freaking
like wall i mean you could i guess it's
so ugly well there's a cover
it just looks like that oh that makes more sense
handmade quality so not handmade
just handmade quality cool orange sweet
and then we control it with our little doodad here yeah or my phone i open the
app here brightness mix okay there we go that's more like it should we do blue as
well or different colors so like the color reproduction on these is pretty
bad this is like purple that's purple-ish this is orange
it's very red this is like the more orangey orange is like that yeah that's
orange like green that does not look like that green at all it's like yellow
uh so this is a 50 brown ash floor lamp lotters
well we're stuck with it now because you bought it okay we gotta do something
about these headphones this is terrible i really want that r slash battle station uh clout so maybe i should just
grab wireless ones yeah i think it's worth it okay we will downgrade our
audio experience from the k7xxs to something far less
audiophile worthy for the sake of that battle station's
clout i mean you can't please every subreddit all at once you know i grabbed
the dolby those are actually headphones pretty nice they're bluetooth
is it really gaming no no
we're having a cheat day okay this is our one cheating this is our one cheat
it's the one thing that's not like straight up legit actually gaming grade
about the setup there that looks pretty that looks pretty good that looks pretty clean very
ikea
whoa that is some
that is some gaming great audio we got going on here why do you keep doing it
oh stop i gotta get the drivers get some help
whoa hello what oh they're on now oh they're doing
rgb yeah they're like yelling at me in rgb so all of our front lights are now
purple should we just make everything purple and all of our backlights are blue yeah oh i'm going to have to fire
up aura if i want to do that though
wow that is a setup
so at the end of the day it's not like our setup is crazy cheap or anything but
compared to going out and buying gamery hardware i don't think it looks any less
gamer and it was a pretty good value compared to that
and there's definitely ways you can do it cheaper if you want obviously this is
just like our premium ikea gaming setup premium ikea gaming setup you heard it
here first folks overall we're definitely calling this project a
success for around 820 we were able to buy all the ikea stuff you see here desk
chair sort of crap rgb strips all of that to build what we think is the
ultimate ikea gaming setup now that's not to say you couldn't have
done a bit better cost wise ikea's wooden gerton tabletop can be had for
just a hundred dollars a ninety dollar savings from the carlby top that we
chose depending on which you find more comfortable the chair was another place
that you could save some of that cheddar like we said before though it's all down
to personal preference you gotta go there try them all out and chances are
that you'll find something you like that might be a little cheaper than what we chose for instance the super popular
marcus chair is only 1.99 as for lighting if you've already grabbed some
trad free bulbs chances are that the craptastic excuse for rgb strips are not
worth your money we'd also probably axed the middle desk leg and one of the
signum trays because the gurton desk is a fair bit smaller
all of that combined then brings us down to a much more reasonable 559 which when
you consider that you could easily spend that much or more on just a chair
it sounds like a pretty darn good deal to me movement watches stop and look at
