SetupDoctor started out as a way to hang out with our viewers and colleagues and showcase our incredible magnetic cable management arches.
But we found that most people need more than just cable management to really fix their setup.
In addition to his pretty unique hobby, Reese both games and streams at this desk here and
collects shoes. Dude, how do you get anything done in here?
The walls are closing in around me. I just kind of deal with it the best way I can.
And we've already taken stuff out of here to make more room. Yeah, this is kind of cleaned up.
You have a problem. No, no. Actually, you have several problems. I have multiple solutions to my problems,
and that's the problem. Must be kind of hard to be always the bridesmaid, never the bride. You have
helped with like dozens of ultimate setup upgrades, and yet this is your cable management? Well,
Yeah, it actually used to be managed at one point. And you say you stream, do you? I do.
Really? With what microphone? This guy right here. Why is this one?
This is a great microphone. Yeah, we share a microphone. Really good microphone. I bet it
isn't as good as this one. Oh, that's actually a pretty nice mic. Yeah, I actually used it for like
trying to do voice acting for a little while. I wanted to get into voice acting. How'd that go?
I work for LMG. Do you have two printers? No, that's a UPS. Okay, I don't even own a printer.
That thing hasn't printed for years. It's actually a blank paper holder designed to look like a
printer. What is this video we've been going to be? Good news. I've got a plan. We're going to start
by ripping everything out of here. Yeah, okay, I figured that would happen. Then we're going to fix
Reese's streaming setup and ergonomics with some accessories from Elgato, Smallrig, and Benvay.
And then, I don't know how we're going to do it, but we're going to fit in all of this stuff from
our sponsor for this video, Vernal, who sent over their Core 3 desk. It's a perfect option for someone
who's looking for a sturdy and reliable lifting desk, and it starts at just $460. You can check
out the link in the description and use our discount code to get an extra 6% off. How are
we going to get all of this in there? The fun part is it won't fit through the door, so we have to
build it in there. Very nice. All right, let's clear this stuff away. Where's the stand? What's
up with your lights? What do you mean? They're just double-sided taped? Yeah. Oh, and it's literally
just a tripod? Yeah. Your strap is worth more than this tripod. Yeah. No, it's a Montroto. It's a
Montroto. Oh, it's a nice tripod, but yeah, it's not ideal. Really nice camera, 2x, t3. Yeah. I like
that you have a little bit of every trading card game. There's Digimon, Gundam, Pokemon,
Yu-Gi-Oh. Literally one of each. Go to take that off. Whoa! Careful. It just sits on top. I thought
it was all bolted together. No. No. Okay. Wait, Reese, I think it's supposed to. No, no, no. That's
for... You're so wrong. That's for something else. No, it's not. There's a hole right here.
No, no, it's for something else. These monitors will definitely need to move for...
I clamped them down. Did you? Did you? Oh. I clamped them down. Yeah. Listen, I'm all about
safety here, all right? Yeah, so I did already do a little bit of cable management previously,
like a long time ago. And it was still this bad, huh? Yeah. Listen, you know when you like do a job
for like so long and then you come home and you don't want to do that job? It's like chefs who
only exclusively dons and get trapped in there. Precisely. It's actually kind of good because
I've got some stuff that have like fallen back here a long time ago and I've just never grabbed
for like a year plus. Is any of it food product or is it... No. Okay. Hopefully not. Hopefully not.
When was the last time you think you dusted? This is the crazy part, is I dust quite often,
actually, because I need to, because there's so much. I think that's what most people need
more than anything for the sub-doctor is just a duster. That's a lot of dust, eh?
That's disgusting. Yeah, we might want to get a vacuum. I'm going to get a vacuum in here. Don't get this. Don't get this.
Oh, that's a nice color. Yeah. Why'd you pick this one? The other options were like kind of
lighter colors and like honestly, it probably would have worked better in this apartment,
but I didn't think about the future, you know? The future. This is the future right here.
That's premium. Oh, it comes with like grommets. No, it does. That's actually pretty sweet. I think
I know how that works. Your desk comes in a lot of pieces. You're telling me.
That's how you know it's premium. That's true. That is actually true. It's it. Well, actually, unless it goes so premium that they build it for you.
Right. And there is kind of an assembly valley. Definitely. When it's really cheap,
it comes fully assembled, ready to go, and then lasts for 10 minutes. Yeah. And then at the other end,
it's like, oh, you wanted legs with your desk, sir? Well, you'll need our leg package.
Is now the moment for us to acknowledge your little hobby, by the way. How did you get into
this? Look at how big it is. It's a big hobby. It's a big manly hobby. I don't know. I thought
it was cool. So I was like, yeah, I could probably do that. And then you did it a lot. I mean,
not honestly, not even as much. Can we pan over to the yarn wall? Yeah. He does it a lot. Yeah.
I mostly do it now just to stream it. Okay. You know, you don't want to like, you do something and now everybody knows you for that thing. And now that becomes your life. I'm
sure you understand this. How long does it take to make one of the roads? It really depends. Like,
the more complicated it is, like Tombo over here, he probably took in total 20 hours or so.
But there's another straw guy here. It'll probably take me five or six total. What makes that so
much more complicated than that? So it's the amount of detail, right? The amount of detail you
got to do. So like little tiny tufts will take longer. And then when you're carving it afterwards,
the carving is what takes so long. For example, this is a nightmare. This is a nightmare of a
tuft. Because like, it's just tiny little details that you got to do. Right. And then carving it
out to make it look not just like a shaggy mess. Like I've got some out there that I haven't carved
yet. I can show you what those look like. The main reason I bring it up is because, you know,
you should subscribe to... You don't know my, you don't know my Twitch channel? Dude. That's so rude,
dude. I know yours. Do you? Not your Twitch channel.
The point is that this is part of the upgrade. We have a six storage pegboard that's going to
really free up a bunch of space that right now is taken up by this. But the star of the show is
these 3D printed yarn holders. Go into the pegboard and then this can like sit on top. Is this strong
enough? Yeah. Can't you see? Well, hopefully. We haven't tested it. We don't have the boards.
I actually think there is more help. Oh, brilliant. Okay. This will take some time.
All right. I'm trying to understand what I'm looking at here. So this is number three. Okay.
Right. And then I've got this screw guide. Okay. I think I figured it out. Okay. We've got this
little sleeve that goes in here. Then we take the hex screw and we put it in here. Oh, so you
screw the screw. Yeah. Oh, okay. Also, this guide is totally unnecessary if you have a magnetic
screwdriver, which conveniently I do. To Vernell's credit, at least they put the lock washers and
the regular washers on for you. So you just kind of go. Oh, I don't have a room. Yeah. I was afraid
this would happen. What are the odds that we can move this shoe rack without taking all the shoes
off it? Oh my gosh. It's so heavy. It's pretty heavy. How do you? I got big feet. That's not the
problem. No matter how big your feet are, one pair of shoes does not weigh that much. The issue
is the quantity. Okay. Show us your favorite pairs. Is this like picking a favorite child?
It is a little bit because I like different shoes for different reasons. Like these ones are quite
nice. Kiff, Kiff Osaka 992's new balance. Very nice. Very nice. I quite like these. I'm a
manier, Jordan Fors. You've never worn these. No. There's a couple I haven't worn, but okay. But
I'm not the kind of guy who buys things and doesn't wear the shoes ever. I have a lot of shoes. It
takes a long time to get through them. These actually go for like $1,200. The only ones I
haven't worn are the ones that like, you know, I want to save for like a nice day or something like
that. But I don't do things. I don't opt to know. Do you wear these 3D printed as ones? I actually
bought these at the same time. We were going to do a ShortCircuit on these. We never did them.
That's not real. They're horrifically bad to put on, but they're not too bad once they're on.
I'm wearing them. Your sock like sticks to the inside. They look- I mean,
my feet are a lot smokier than- They look crazy on you. Okay, hold on. This is great. This is great.
We got a shock. I'm like, okay, tell her, tell us. I counted recently and at the time there was over
I think 89 pairs. He's recently bought more. So I think we're in the 90s approaching 100 pairs
issues. What are your thoughts on that? As the one woman on earth who's married to a man with
more shoes than she has. What are you talking about? I have always been supportive of his hobbies
until we literally ran out of shelf space. We have like shoe racks in the closets outside of the
closets at our door. I'm reaching my limits of support. So I appreciate the help that you're
offering today. Yeah, this setup doctor just became an intervention. Rhys, we want to start by telling
you that we love and appreciate you. Aw, thanks guys. Hey. But what the f***, man? Well, I will say
some of them are for sale. Aw. Hey, anybody? If you guys saw this 14 feet, hit me up.
All right, let's get this out of here. I think between the three of us we can lift this shelf.
Where are we putting this? Where are we putting this? All right. Hang on, hang on. Before we move it, why don't you- Okay, this is going to tell us which
you can remove one pair of shoes. No, no, no, it's fine. It's fine. I don't care if they fall. It's
okay if they fall. Why would you do that? They're shoes. It's okay. They're meant to go on the ground.
Okay. All right. Yeah, go for it. Oh, he's crazy. He's got ice in his veins, man.
Nothing flaps this man. I could do this and it wouldn't flap him. That's true. Gundam.
It's down. It's exactly my size. Wow. Oh my god, it's heavy.
I can't help. I have never carried this much in shoes in one go. Okay, we've got to put it
out. Okay. How do they weigh so much? They almost look better from the front,
eh? This is where we're looking at them from. No, you're looking from the back.
We were? I couldn't tell. They're just shoes. I don't know fronts. I don't know backs.
That was it. Your healing is now complete, Reese. Look how much space we freed up.
Thank you, my shoes back. That's not part of the deal. Sorry, buddy. Oh, that's cool.
It's like a little heat map, eh? It's just the only material I had left to print this.
Oh, that's awesome. Is this just someone designed this for us? It's just on a thing of
a verse, thing of a verse, ain't it? Too bad we don't sell anything like this. Well, I mean,
we have that baby. We got this little baby eye. Yeah, we have the bid holder. Yeah, like this.
No, but the grommet's at the front. Don't make me tap the sign. But why would you have a
grommet at the front? It says front, front. The grommet's going to be right next to where my
arms are. Listen, I don't know the front of shoes, but I know the front of desk.
Oh, I was trying to figure out what was it when I was brushing up against on the walls. Like,
what's there? What's there? I think I might take this off now. I forgot I was wearing it.
You know, to Vernell's credit, this was a lot of pieces, but it's pretty intuitive once you get
going. Okay, big moment. Now we find out if we have enough room to flip this inside this room.
I think we flip it that way. Really? Poor David. Flip it the long way. Why not flip it this way?
Shut up, David. This is my video, though. I like both plans. Wow. Thanks.
Fight to the death. And we'll go for it. Oh, God. Yeah. So if you lift that and then we get it
vertical, actually, you might say it's vernal coal. Boo boo this man boo. Yeah, but this thing.
Reese, how the devil were you planning to get the shoes back in here? It actually fits perfectly.
I measured it once. Huge question. You don't need to hang your PC off the desk,
but first at stand desk, it can reduce the chance of accidentally ripping a cable off. So
huge moment. You want your computer on this side or this side? I think purely because
the cables that I have will only reach on this side. We'll choose this side.
Decided is. Even though it'll kind of interfere with my foot room, but right. What can you do?
Wait, you have a foot room and a shoe room? Guys, did you, did you put the controller on
upside down? Just get out of here. How'd you do that? No, no, I'm not offering you a tool to fix
it. I'm just pointing and laughing. I'm just pushing the down arrow here. Yeah. How high can we go?
About 120 centimeters. 120 centimeters. That's a lot of centimeters. That's a lot taller than I
would need it to be. It has a lifting speed of 40 millimeters per second, supports three presets,
and it can support up to 180 kilograms. And you can mount stuff upside down even if you,
like if you wanted to. I love it. It actually is, oh, it's, yeah, it makes way more sense now.
That's nice and secure enough. Making good progress. We're going to do a quick test fit
of the PC. I take back what I said before. I think it's totally going to fit because I forgot that
this is a super compact. Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. If only somebody cleaned this computer, dude.
Oh, Lordy, you guys good? I will fit. So will fit. Oh, God, that's some dust under there. You
know, you never look underneath your computer. Oh, what the heck?
But if you noticed before, my filter wasn't accessible because of the, because of the way
the table's set. Did the wind just close your window? The wind closed my blinds. Yeah, don't
worry about it. Look, they're back. Well, now you can access it. Yeah, exactly. You got it.
Thanks, Vernal. Beauty. Okay. This is petrifying. It seems fine. Does it just sit there? Yeah.
I'm not going to lie. I think this setup has been doctored. This is actually really cool.
We don't really have a ton of time. Like we need to get this out of here still, right?
Yeah. Oh my God, sorry. Let's go. Do you think you can kill a human with this?
Honestly, very easily. What a gross, weird murder scene that would be. It would be, yeah.
And what it is, I won't show you why you're running it, but let's turn it off. The,
a little pair of scissors comes on those. Oh. Every time, like so, like, you know,
1,000 times. Yeah, exactly. The shoes are never ending. We didn't even show these ones earlier.
Those are the ones I'm like looking to get rid of. Dude, we're not even memeing on you at this
point. It's like, no, dude. Are you okay? Actually, like there's shoes in here. There are four
fantastics, but even a collector such as yourself only ended up with three of them. Guess how much
these three were. That's besides the point. You didn't want the woman fantastic for what the heck.
Let me tell you, let me tell you why it's not. So these were a mystery box. Nobody knew what
the shoes looked like. So I bought three because I'm stupid. And if they aren't the three ugliest
damn shoes I've ever seen in my life, are you having fun? Are you having fun? It's a lot easier
to do cable management when you have proper cable management trays to cooperate with our
magnetic cable management. Yeah, are they steel? Let's find out. Yeah, let's go. Steel, baby.
Okay, what is the, what's this going to do? This is going to replace the table that was here. It's
like perfectly sized for the tufting thing to go on. And it has storage, right, which is beautiful.
Storage is beautiful. Normally I might like to try to put, you know, some of the stuff
that goes toward the back, like the Elgato lights and everything in first. But I feel like the
monitors are kind of the center of the user experience. So we want to put them where they're
going to go and then we'll build everything else around them. Yeah, I actually wouldn't turn it
around just yet though. Crazy idea. Maybe you could grab a cloth and just, you know, give them like
this patina. What do you mean? Okay. I forgot that I ordered these, but this is actually a great way
to clean up your whole setup is to have a USB and other thing dock that you can clamp your desk
and then forget about them. Just plug stuff in. All right, just clamp these bad boys down. Okay,
we want to push it as far in as we can while we can still move it. To the window? Yeah.
Yeah, it's getting pretty heavy. Okay, don't crash them. Okay, we good? That's pretty good.
It's fine. All right, man. Do we want to go further towards this wall? No. Well, we want to do
right now is find out if those shoes fit. Oh my God. Who stacked shoes on the top?
When you got too many of them. Let's bring it in right now. Yeah. We need to know if it's gonna
fit. Dude, this is not gonna fit. My brother. So you're gonna have to, no, no, you can stay up
there, but you got to lift this leg because I can only do the one because I don't have a lot
of leverage here. Okay, it's touching the desk. Now, can you close the door? It's so close. We can
also move the desk like a tenth of an inch. Okay. Okay, how's that door doing? It's pinching my ARM.
Yeah, see, I told you. Okay, no, no, we're not. We're not home free yet, boys. Why not? Because
we still need to know if the sit stand desk can move. Okay, there goes the shelf. We've got like
two millimeters at the top. Easy. Okay, hold on. That gave us another fraction of a millimeter,
I think at the top. Okay, hold on. Okay. Oh, okay. Hold on. Do we have another? Do we have another
millimeter on the desk? Well, I don't have your head under there. It's actually a good
crush your head. No, I'm fine. Except for the Vernal safety feature. Yeah, that won't allow
you to crush Linus's head. Maybe we just crush Linus's head. Linus, he's still there? Linus?
Oh, like a glove, dude. Look at that. Oh, yeah, we're gonna stand. Whoa, whoa, stop, stop. Stop. Okay,
that was pretty exciting. Just about ripped. Oh, yeah, we're kind of trying to think maybe we
want to put the UPS on the shelf as well. But what do you think it could straddle it? That's
psycho, dude. Okay, but hear me out. Now the UPS and the computer go up and down together. Who needs
airflow, bro? Who needs airflow? You got airflow? You got airflow. Right from the hot UPS. It'll
cool it. Okay, wait a second. This is crazy. You're going to hate it and you're going to love it. Hold
on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Let
him cook. Let him cook. Okay, okay. Cook for me. Cook for me, Walter White. Yeah, it's probably too
dumb. What are we doing? It's probably too dumb. Okay, I think this is going to have to go on the
floor for now, Rhys. Yeah, listen, I never said it couldn't. I still might. I think a big part of
setup doc that we've forgotten is actually making sure you have the right equipment to do your job.
And Rhys' camera is more than good enough at those lights. We're pretty pathetic. So we got in the
Elgato key lights so that he should be able to get way better even illumination both at his desk
and at the tufting setup. Plus the experience of using these is going to be way better than those
janky USB ones. Yeah, they were jank. They were very jank. Say what you want about Elgato's pricing.
The mounting solutions that they have are pretty quick to set up. So we've got our two key lights
here. A third key light? Yeah. That's crazy. Tell me about it. The idea is to have a little top-down
area over here. Ooh. Unboxing things and all that. What did I walk out here looking for? Ah,
this microphone. It's a, it was so easy to find and yet that I feel so lucky for being able to
find. Look at this thing. Sorry, Rhys. Yeah, you know, when I saw how empty and nice that room was,
I was like, hey, maybe we should leave it this way. And then I came out here and this literally
looks like a hoarder's house slash a bomb went off. And you had all of it in there.
I had all of it in there. That's crazy. And it fits so nicely in there. Yeah, that wasn't the takeaway.
So other than tufting, what do you stream? Do you like unbox overpriced shoes or like?
Yeah. Yeah. Unbox overpriced shoes. Unbox mystery boxes. I like mystery boxes. They're a gambler.
Not really. But I mean, maybe a little bit. Now we're finally getting to the part where we do
the thing that the whole series was designed around and show off our cable management stuff.
This is our power bar holder. It's not really designed for bricks that are very square like
this. And we didn't have any of the long cable ties that it's supposed to come with. But I'm
actually pretty proud of the little kind of harness that I created for this thing. So we just had this
like strip style Velcro and then I put one on the top to kind of hold it together so that it
won't slip out. Not bad, right? Boom. See you later, buddy. That's not actually where I want it over here.
Oh, I love magnetic cable management, dude. Game changer. I got to say it's looking really good.
It actually looks amazing. Like the transformation in here. Yeah, it's kind of like good. How's the
girlfriend approval factor though? Here. Oh my gosh, this actually looks so much better than I expected.
What does that mean? I was a little bit worried about how big the desk was going to be and
yeah, that's fair. But this is like a little bit more shallow. So I think it compensates for it.
Well, yeah, we haven't, we haven't finished this side. We're experts when it comes to compensation.
All right. What's supposed to come back in here now? I feel like this is too clean.
It does feel that way, doesn't it? Thanks, Vernal. There is a few things I was like missing from the
desk, but nothing mission critical, like at all. Nothing that I'll miss immediately. But then we
still have to organize all that, but that'll be another day because yeah, didn't run on time.
You're watching that happen right now. Wow, this is incredible. Yeah, it looks beautiful. I've never
seen anything like this. Wow. It works. Go live. Go live. Do it. Do it. Do it. Yeah, looking good.
A little too bright. Oh, okay. That's a lot too bright. Beautiful. That's how I stream. I stream
on the sun. How about we put some footage of you streaming sometime in the next couple of days here
and then, you know, we can judge it based on the actual end product. You'll have to do like an
unboxing, maybe some tufting. Are you going to buy stuff for me to unbox here? Is this not enough?
Yeah. Hasn't Vernal given you enough? Yeah. I mean, if I could have unboxed the Vernal desk,
that would be pretty cool. I am. You literally unboxed it today. Yeah, but I do it on my stream.
Now, Vernal, thank you very much and LMG and Elgato. Loving this set up. This looks great.
Freaking amazing. You're looking even better tomorrow. Congratulations, Dr. It's a success.
It's clean. It's a happy boy. Thanks, Vernal, for sponsoring this video. Thanks to you for
watching. If you guys enjoyed this one, maybe check out a previous episode of the setup doctor,
