WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:08.240
so today i will be presenting you guys with the spoils of jake's little

00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:13.519
adventure to a place called uh

00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:16.880
ingvar kamprad entered argenyard

00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:18.080
or as it's better known ikea where he

00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:23.840
had one objective to build the ultimate ikea

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:29.760
gaming setup and some of this stuff i have

00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:32.480
legitimately no idea how he intends to

00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:32.480
integrate it

00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:40.239
and this video is brought to you by

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:45.840
end game gear the endgame gear xm1 is an ultra lightweight mouse at 70 grams that

00:00:42.559 --> 00:00:47.120
uses the bmw 3389 optical sensor if

00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:58.079
you're an ambitious gamer you're going to want to check this one out at the link in the video description

00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:06.799
now to be clear we're not settling for some pinner like you know grab a basic

00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:10.560
table and some of the modular legs and then a chair and

00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:15.680
we build a gaming setup we are expecting to put something resembling the ultimate

00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:21.920
setup so we've got everything from triple 4k one 44 hertz monitors to the

00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:24.960
sick audio engine a5 plus and s8

00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:26.560
subwoofer sound system we've got uh oh

00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:33.439
wow we've got some sick stuff from elgato it's apparently going to be streaming capable oh

00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:39.200
my eyes yeah jake we don't have a camera i think our streaming street cred is uh

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:45.360
it's evaporating as we speak we're going to be using ah the all rog gaming pc

00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:48.960
which is as fast as it gets for gaming today

00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:52.240
so i guess we start with the desk you know you got to give these guys

00:01:50.320 --> 00:01:56.640
credit you think there's no way that they can require more assembly and then

00:01:54.799 --> 00:02:01.439
they come up with another way so this is a 3m backed

00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:05.280
um what do you even use

00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:09.759
i think it's for the ends no but it's already done wait it's in case you need to you

00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:13.440
cut it yeah yeah yeah okay that's actually pretty cool yeah so we're

00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:17.760
originally going to use the ikea gurton which is like the

00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:22.480
r slash battle stations wonder boy of a table everybody uses that thing and it's

00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:26.720
pretty dope except for us with a triple monitor setup it's a bit small and it

00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:30.879
requires some finishing so you can use oil but this one pre-finished and it's

00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:35.040
actually really cool instead of using a solid piece of wood

00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:39.280
which could be hundreds of dollars they actually use about a quarter inch thick

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:42.080
veneer on here so you can sand this you can

00:02:40.160 --> 00:02:46.160
cut it and re-finish it like whatever you want to do and it is real wood just

00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:51.840
a little bit better for the environment and a little bit better for your wallet

00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:55.440
ah pretty dope hey sweet looks really good yeah

00:02:53.840 --> 00:03:00.160
um we should probably get some legs yeah why did we do this

00:02:58.239 --> 00:03:04.400
okay so for legs we ended up going with the lurberg trestle for 15 bucks now i

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:08.480
actually just picked these because they look cool that was kind of my criteria but a lot

00:03:07.440 --> 00:03:13.599
of people actually use something called the ikea alex which has drawers in it um

00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:17.360
but we just wanted it to look cool so no drawers for us one thing we did need

00:03:15.519 --> 00:03:22.000
because we don't have like a big drawer unit under it is a fifth leg here so

00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:26.080
this is the olaf leg and this is gonna support it in the middle because we're

00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:28.879
actually gonna have a freaking ton of weight on this thing not like the middle

00:03:27.760 --> 00:03:34.159
middle because that'll get in the way of your legs but like the back middle uh

00:03:32.799 --> 00:03:37.840
so these don't have a way to screw them in

00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:40.720
yeah they wait oh this is just a pack wow it just sits

00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:45.599
on it no horse that's not good enough i think

00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:49.440
that's fine this thing is so heavy by the time we put a computer on it

00:03:47.760 --> 00:03:52.879
really you picked it i did

00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:56.799
i got this i can move the stuff out of the way one second

00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:07.200
oh my god are you kidding me right now i'm clearing space holy crap oh my god stop

00:04:04.720 --> 00:04:07.200
it's fine

00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:13.680
oh yeah the pot is just rolling on the ground that

00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:16.720
is a pro life tip right there jesus christ

00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:22.160
if you want help with something really really quickly don't ask for help just

00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:26.400
start doing it in the stupidest way possible and people will leap to their

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:30.320
feet to come to your age so this is called the elephant i believe

00:04:29.520 --> 00:04:35.600
um not too up on my swedish but uh it's uh

00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:40.240
in gloss black which i will assume means matte black it

00:04:38.080 --> 00:04:44.080
means black leather anyway so i basically went to ikea and

00:04:42.320 --> 00:04:47.919
sat on all of the chairs there's probably 15 i gave them about 10 minutes

00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:51.360
each probably half of them your butt starts hurting to me i paid you to work

00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:54.900
for three hours sitting in chairs at ikea

00:04:52.800 --> 00:05:00.529
maybe

00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:11.919
this one has the best butt cushion i think you're holding it right now look

00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:15.680
at that cushion oh that's not bad that is something i got to do some pushing on

00:05:13.280 --> 00:05:18.880
this cushion substantial cushion that's actually and it's like a really firm

00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:22.720
cushion so it's not the kind that you go right through and then you feel the

00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:28.240
you know the piece of plywood on the other side immediately it's like it's

00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:28.240
got some substance to it

00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:36.479
actually that's not bad lumbar support is pretty good it's not comfortable like

00:05:33.039 --> 00:05:38.560
it's not like uh like oh yeah this chair

00:05:36.479 --> 00:05:42.080
is any chair like that though well not ones that are actually like decent for

00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:44.800
your posture no like this is this has got support though even the armrests are

00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:49.440
actually like actually padded like if you rest your elbow on it it's not going to go right

00:05:47.840 --> 00:05:53.199
through it uh that is not a lot of space left over

00:05:51.840 --> 00:05:59.360
jakku are we gonna fit a rig there i think we should just do two i kind of hate it

00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:04.400
i kind of hate it too yeah let's just do two should we throw

00:06:01.039 --> 00:06:04.400
the tower on here and see how it looks

00:06:05.280 --> 00:06:12.639
now the thing we do have to consider though is we still have speakers a keyboard mouse mouse pad a motion liquid

00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:18.080
headphone stand i would probably put some like

00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:21.919
just silicone glue on the bottom and let it cure because it right now it's like

00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:26.880
hockey puck but i don't know how into the headphone stand i am jake well it's the all ikea

00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:32.240
setup so you don't have a choice we had really wanted to get a5 pluses in here

00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:36.080
but um there appears to be a bit of a

00:06:34.400 --> 00:06:41.600
logistical problem welcome to light sync gaming speakers

00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:48.560
for gamers oh integrated speaker wire but they use

00:06:45.039 --> 00:06:51.039
logi attack it's like a vga port for the

00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:53.840
rgb for all the rgb controls this is a thick cable too that's how they put

00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:58.880
branding on the i hope that's removable

00:06:57.039 --> 00:07:04.479
seriously it's like it's removable but it's like

00:07:01.599 --> 00:07:08.960
it's also could just be left on there it's not one of those crappy stickers

00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:13.280
like it definitely comes off properly still why

00:07:11.280 --> 00:07:16.800
not for the store shelf it's retail right don't cover up my shirt this is a

00:07:15.440 --> 00:07:21.599
great shirt and you can buy one at lttstore.com

00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:25.759
oh oh my god we forgot the cable mounting trays on the bottom of the desk

00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:30.639
so these will run you 14.99 each we're going to go ahead and get under the desk

00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:33.360
here these are going to hold all of our cables that we need to manage so that

00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:38.080
they don't just droop down the back of the desk like they're drooping down right now it's

00:07:37.039 --> 00:07:43.440
pretty ugly is that a wireless keyboard oh yeah oh

00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:46.639
mr minimalist everything blah blah blah linus don't you know the first thing

00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:50.080
about minimalism i mean it's harder to reach the

00:07:47.840 --> 00:07:54.240
plugs at the front you're not using those plugs this is a

00:07:51.440 --> 00:07:57.280
minimal setup got a wired keyboard wow good job jake

00:07:56.240 --> 00:08:01.280
actually they just came out with wireless keyboards we don't have them yet though

00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:06.479
well they have a wireless one already it's just rgb crappy it's crappy

00:08:05.039 --> 00:08:12.879
wait should we put the rgb strips on the back first wow you can get rgb strips at

00:08:09.039 --> 00:08:15.039
ikea now yeah ah this sucks all right so

00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:20.400
my handiwork here is finished how much are those led strips the ledberg led

00:08:17.599 --> 00:08:24.400
strip multi-color ledburg it sounds like an rgb city

00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:28.319
20 bucks for like three three of them yeah

00:08:26.479 --> 00:08:32.719
with the controller and yeah it's still not great they're really

00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:36.159
small leds too we should stick the button underneath the desk somewhere you

00:08:34.479 --> 00:08:39.599
should see his arm abs those are cool arm abs what the hell is an arm ab i

00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:44.000
don't know you heard you're here first ladies and gentlemen arm abs

00:08:42.719 --> 00:08:48.560
here click the button and the red does not look good okay so

00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:51.040
we're on color change mode now harsh color change so if i press it

00:08:50.160 --> 00:08:54.959
again i think it freezes there so i'm a little

00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:58.320
confused yes wait i figured it out

00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:03.920
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

00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:08.800
you show them that no it's it's one of like oh it definitely like

00:09:06.160 --> 00:09:12.320
stabilized micro bs instead of just using a better connector in the first

00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:15.040
place they put this like it definitely goes in here i know it does the thing is

00:09:13.839 --> 00:09:19.040
i told you it goes in there why do you not believe me when i say things okay

00:09:17.680 --> 00:09:23.839
full disclosure i did set this up beforehand it was a terrible experience

00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:26.720
i would genuinely not recommend this if you're not like

00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:30.640
very patient but what is this so

00:09:28.640 --> 00:09:34.080
the like ikea light bulbs so this hub to get it to work i had to

00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:38.480
wait for it to update which took two hours before it updated um

00:09:36.880 --> 00:09:42.959
and the servers are in sweden yeah yeah yeah and then this is like the controller thing so it's zigbee and

00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:46.160
there's a little button in there and a button cell battery yeah and i guess the

00:09:45.040 --> 00:09:50.480
battery that it came with was not charged enough so it wouldn't update i left it for like four hours and then i

00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:54.160
left it overnight and it still didn't update so i replaced the battery updated

00:09:52.560 --> 00:09:59.279
in like two minutes okay and then it worked fine okay but like

00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:02.320
as somebody that wouldn't know to try stuff like that and hasn't screwed with

00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:07.519
lights before these are not fun it's wired yeah what i guess that means it's

00:10:04.800 --> 00:10:12.800
going to be more reliable yeah i guess like mount this thing to your freaking

00:10:09.760 --> 00:10:14.240
like wall i mean you could i guess it's

00:10:12.800 --> 00:10:18.240
so ugly well there's a cover

00:10:15.920 --> 00:10:22.399
it just looks like that oh that makes more sense

00:10:19.680 --> 00:10:27.519
handmade quality so not handmade

00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:29.120
just handmade quality cool orange sweet

00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:34.079
and then we control it with our little doodad here yeah or my phone i open the

00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:37.519
app here brightness mix okay there we go that's more like it should we do blue as

00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:41.200
well or different colors so like the color reproduction on these is pretty

00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:46.640
bad this is like purple that's purple-ish this is orange

00:10:44.959 --> 00:10:50.399
it's very red this is like the more orangey orange is like that yeah that's

00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:53.839
orange like green that does not look like that green at all it's like yellow

00:10:52.160 --> 00:10:59.120
uh so this is a 50 brown ash floor lamp lotters

00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:02.240
well we're stuck with it now because you bought it okay we gotta do something

00:11:00.800 --> 00:11:08.079
about these headphones this is terrible i really want that r slash battle station uh clout so maybe i should just

00:11:06.160 --> 00:11:13.279
grab wireless ones yeah i think it's worth it okay we will downgrade our

00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:16.560
audio experience from the k7xxs to something far less

00:11:14.880 --> 00:11:19.760
audiophile worthy for the sake of that battle station's

00:11:18.160 --> 00:11:24.480
clout i mean you can't please every subreddit all at once you know i grabbed

00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:30.560
the dolby those are actually headphones pretty nice they're bluetooth

00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:32.399
is it really gaming no no

00:11:30.560 --> 00:11:35.600
we're having a cheat day okay this is our one cheating this is our one cheat

00:11:34.079 --> 00:11:38.959
it's the one thing that's not like straight up legit actually gaming grade

00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:42.980
about the setup there that looks pretty that looks pretty good that looks pretty clean very

00:11:41.920 --> 00:11:45.040
ikea

00:11:45.040 --> 00:11:51.600
whoa that is some

00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:57.200
that is some gaming great audio we got going on here why do you keep doing it

00:11:54.320 --> 00:12:02.240
oh stop i gotta get the drivers get some help

00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:06.160
whoa hello what oh they're on now oh they're doing

00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:09.680
rgb yeah they're like yelling at me in rgb so all of our front lights are now

00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:16.720
purple should we just make everything purple and all of our backlights are blue yeah oh i'm going to have to fire

00:12:12.800 --> 00:12:16.720
up aura if i want to do that though

00:12:16.959 --> 00:12:22.160
wow that is a setup

00:12:20.800 --> 00:12:28.959
so at the end of the day it's not like our setup is crazy cheap or anything but

00:12:26.160 --> 00:12:33.120
compared to going out and buying gamery hardware i don't think it looks any less

00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:35.600
gamer and it was a pretty good value compared to that

00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:40.399
and there's definitely ways you can do it cheaper if you want obviously this is

00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:43.760
just like our premium ikea gaming setup premium ikea gaming setup you heard it

00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:48.000
here first folks overall we're definitely calling this project a

00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:53.200
success for around 820 we were able to buy all the ikea stuff you see here desk

00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:57.839
chair sort of crap rgb strips all of that to build what we think is the

00:12:55.279 --> 00:13:01.519
ultimate ikea gaming setup now that's not to say you couldn't have

00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:05.760
done a bit better cost wise ikea's wooden gerton tabletop can be had for

00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:09.760
just a hundred dollars a ninety dollar savings from the carlby top that we

00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:13.680
chose depending on which you find more comfortable the chair was another place

00:13:11.760 --> 00:13:17.519
that you could save some of that cheddar like we said before though it's all down

00:13:15.760 --> 00:13:21.600
to personal preference you gotta go there try them all out and chances are

00:13:20.079 --> 00:13:27.680
that you'll find something you like that might be a little cheaper than what we chose for instance the super popular

00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:31.519
marcus chair is only 1.99 as for lighting if you've already grabbed some

00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:37.040
trad free bulbs chances are that the craptastic excuse for rgb strips are not

00:13:34.560 --> 00:13:41.040
worth your money we'd also probably axed the middle desk leg and one of the

00:13:38.800 --> 00:13:44.399
signum trays because the gurton desk is a fair bit smaller

00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:49.120
all of that combined then brings us down to a much more reasonable 559 which when

00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:54.079
you consider that you could easily spend that much or more on just a chair

00:13:52.160 --> 00:13:57.839
it sounds like a pretty darn good deal to me movement watches stop and look at

00:13:56.800 --> 00:14:02.560
