we have roasted your worst setups our best setups and everything in between
but today we're taking aim squarely at those who have been Obsessed the most
over their computers excuse me computers
these computers have actually transcended being workstations or gaming
computers today we're looking at Battle Stations roasting the folks with the
most that is the most money and the most pride in their computational Creations
yes oh yeah here we go oh no I don't
believe this photo not wanting to only highlight those of you that have
remortgaged your house for RGB lighting we'll also be looking at battle stations
that are priced down a little bit and we'll be doing all of it from this
incredibly tiny battle station from red magic huge thanks to Red magic for
sponsoring this video to show off their new Nova gaming tablet its 144 HZ
display is fed frames by the new Snapdragon 8 gen 3 leading version that
isn't just fast when you boot up a game but continues to be fast thanks to this
sick cooling system on the back that features a fan that spins it up to
20,000 RPM now I know you're thinking that's probably hecking loud you got you
got this but even at Max Speed you can barely hear it from the distance that
you hold a tablet as a bonus the fan helps keep the tablet cool during fast
charging so you can get the most out of the included 80 wat fast charger check
out the red magic Nova gaming tablet at the link down below to start we're going
to be taking a look at the absolute best battle station of all time as decided by
the community dual 75 in 4K TV Computing
what that chair does not look comfortable this is the opposite of r/
TV too high bro is sitting on the floor
no actually the TV's mounted really low but he's sitting on the floor this
probably is cross posted on like male Living Spaces I was just going to say
this is that post that it's like it doesn't take much to make a man happy
yeah there's no way that buddy is reading text from that distance also did
clear a conference room to fill it with his battle station what is this space
you know what this actually reminds me of I made this setup 13 years AG oh my
gosh it's the same room like what is this if his head is near the top of that
chair it's probably in line with around the ergonomics of this are actually may
be somewhat okay other than the fact that his feet are just permanently out
in front of him probably sits cross- leg oh that's kind of sick actually all
right in second place the completely reasonable apartment setup oh hell yes
that honestly just looks like some of the employee setup reviews that we've
done I don't know what's better the full ceiling height Rack or the slippers that
are just vibing there I like that he spent so much money on that server rack
and so little on the monitors balance out what you're spending your money on
this table is trashed here and then their desktop speakers were like value
bin the top comment is great idea my wife would love this this in the living
room yeah also the couch right next to
it are you really going to be enjoying whatever it is you're doing on the couch
with a server rack next to you I was going to say like you know you can put your server Rack in like another room
like L but it's like no that's clearly what they're into they want to work on
that they want to spend time on it I think it's sick Windows mixed reality
ladies and gentlemen we found him the one person who invested in a Windows
mixed reality headset all right you want to look at the number one yes 68,000 up
votes over 7 years oh yeah yeah that's
the stuff I love it that's awesome
that's actually kind of sick this is deserving of the number one spot you're
making it work do you think the ratchets are holding the desk together or just
the hardware down I think they're holding down the back of the monitor to
ensure that it doesn't just vibrate off of that desk when he's driving and I
think they might also be holding the table together although it's hard to say
plays truck Sim is the top comment please don't do you think you could live
on the road if you had an amazing gaming setup in a truck younger not married no
kids obviously 7 years ago no today with
starlink maybe maybe this is a sick setup this is very good for you all
right here's a couple top up vaded ones from this month it looks like a render I
am slightly suspicious of this being real it's too perfect do you like any
color in your life by the way holy crap it's really nice as long as nobody ever
touches it nobody ever uses it the thing
I don't like is that there's stuff in this photo that is like placed but is
not usable in that position like that switch can't be charged there that start
menu can't be touched there easily what does it look like tomorrow the one thing
that I've got to take a bunch of points off for here is the monitor lamp I
freaking hate them Andy I don't want to talk about it right now our next one my
piece I like the the theme over the last few years of people having separate
racing Sim setups instead of just like temporarily bolting on the Wheel to your
own desk I do think it's better that way if you're already going to go the mile
to like buy a seat and a wheel you might as well just and if you've got the space
all that kind of stuff yeah for sure damn look at that Chrome American flag I
suspect they made it themselves too which is like pretty cool I think a lot
of what makes a good battle station is the space that it's in so having the Windows with the trees right there adds
a lot of atmosphere I love that monitor
arm solution just clipping it to the side of the desk that's really smart
what monor oh that monor arm I thought you were talking about the monitor sitting on top of a motherboard box oh
and I was like okay that's a Katan box oh yeah In
fairness that's probably about the best use of a Katan box who what what do you
have against Katan he's lost too many
times how dare you see through me like
that absolutely fantastic setup yeah all right dark blade 420
wa this is awesome oh my my god oh I
love this those speakers are crazy those are nuts on a computer setup those are
insane they have the huge Tower speakers and they have the little ones right
beside it you can configure them in stereo surround and so they'll just add
more sound volume yeah there's just a lot going on here but nothing feels out
of place like I like the 3D printing corner and from across from it there's
looks like a so solding iron so he has
enough table space to actually do projects yeah he's got some retro
collection going on record player as well sick you collect things but like
very Tastefully yeah set super cool here
oh you need a headphone holder 3D print it get a head yeah literally print
yourself a headphone holder now a work in progress forever I've never related
to a sentence more in my entire life
hold on did you buy two of those light
bars it doesn't look as bad to me because it covers the entire monitor it
feels more integrated like proportional color matching here is crazy the the
white to the wood and that almost matching in every area is really cool I
love the separate 10 key should put on the right side though I do think it
should go on the right side I love this under desk mounted headphone amp that is
so cool I really like the wall of succulents in the back it tells everyone
around you I'm a functioning human being who can remember to put water in
something once in a while that's why I don't have any now I know what at least
some of you are thinking those were pretty nice setups but were they really
Battle Stations and you're not the only one which is why the elitist of the
mostest Elite created their own subreddit called ultimate battle
stations oh no sometimes these poor folks even get made fun of for their
opulence with ramill saying I get [ __ ]
for having more than three displays they say it's
Overkill my goodness whoa now this is
what I'm talking about that's a battle station okay well I'm not even mad at
the displays how many [ __ ] keyboards do you have this one feels to me like he
wants a monitor for each of his tasks instead of realizing that uh you can
actually use monitors for multiple tasks probably a Mac guy part of me wants to
think like is this a day trader that's the only time I've seen monitor setups
like this that Mak sense the problem for me though is they didn't go very
vertical In fairness if you're going to go full opulence these days monitors not
that opulent you can get a 27in monitor for like 40 50 bucks on Facebook
Marketplace these days the color matching on them is horrendous to me so
you got your main gaming in the middle Subway Surfers on the right Subway
Surfers on the left Minecraft Parkour on the top left okay bottom left is Family
Guy Clips top post ever on r/ ultimate
battle stations here we go it's kind of gorgeous yeah very
staged though those headphones are not plugged in that is like building the
cleanest computer and not having your front iio hooked up W this is just sick
oh that's like a 42 in or a 48 in by the way that's big on the side the wallpaper
is a great choice for that background like overall the aesthetic is very
strong very clean why did these textured wall panels go out of fashion I thought
they were super cool I think it's just too many people did them so they became
kind of overdone and everyone's like I don't I want to be unique brother in
Christ you have that monitor and then you have a Logitech C920 it looks
comically small nice setup yeah it's just clean there's not much to roast on
that other than the camera why don't we have a look at some more practical setups from r/ average Battle Stations
okay well wallpaper 10 out of 10 okay this is a little more average than I was
expecting that uh that power strip on the floor brother if the button is up
and your feet are coming down you're going to have a bad time oh yeah this is
cute this is nice this is yeah I really like you know you don't have the biggest
desk you want two monitors you have one just hang over the side very cool yeah
you make it work right yeah yeah oh not the dental pick oh that's the only thing
worse than the nail clipper for me you know those are disposable right this
post I'd like to think it's at least average I predict that Luke is going to
be ripping on this guy for only having one Monitor and daring to call this a
battle station everyone deserves a second monitor you can get them for $10
sell me on two monitors if I'm someone who only has one once you have two
monitors I feel like it's difficult to go back because you lose so so much if
you're someone who games even if you're in borderless window your game will fill
the one monitor that you have I know very few gamers in this generation sir
uh that are down with doing just one thing so you're probably watching you
know Subway Surfers or whatever on your side ramping up in hostility as we go
imagine I said sell me and now you're threatening me if you don't get a one
creative speakers those look not great wa it looks really sick at night time
that's actually really clean my latest setup oh my gosh I love this is that an
actual car seat with an actual towel
over the butt just like people put in their cars scrap wood for the
frame oh they did the same for their computer though oh the customade wooden
Cable Management under the desk oh yeah I very much enjoy the the handyman
aspects of this app I'll say that controller Mount love the controller
mount with two screws into a piece of wood oh my God I'm on their desktop
wallpaper is that Jay's it kind of looks like but like a very young AI beautified
J got him after using laptops for about
20 years it's been so much fun building a gaming PC and flushing out my setup
it's fleshing out but that's okay this is just like an average setup
magic cards on Deck ready to go just in case a challenger approaches at any time
they tried with cable management they have like cable management sleeves the
power work hanging out of it not my favorite thing but man of culture I love
the footrest I'm not a big fan of the clear monitor holder yeah get another
monitor overall it's a good setup though that being said your computer looks cool
oh yeah here we go oh no our next
section is we go lower welcome to r/
shitty Battle Stations yes have you
never been here you can't say you've never been here I don't think I've ever
been there really I've absolutely been there yeah
yeah oh no where is that cable coming
out of is that a sprinkler oh gosh it is what am I
looking at I do appreciate that looking at this setup they were like ah yes I
need the ergonomics of the screen being higher um what are the pliers on the
ground for and the slippers you took them off to take the photo and you
thought it fit the space better I don't know been using this setup for years
that's not good go get some free furniture you've got a $200 Bluetooth
speaker dude he's got like a $150 Mouse
we should do a whole series of videos on budget allocation I would never shame
someone for not having money but I would shame someone for not having a lot of
money and blowing all of it on a fancy Bluetooth speaker when you don't even
have a desk get a free keyboard yeah get a table you can put your knees under
yeah and you're doing fine just moved into a new house see like this one at
least they were like I should be able to put put my knees under the thing I give
a little bit of Grace to people that have moved it takes a little while to get set up and like you don't want to
buy temporary Furniture so you kind of make what you have work they had raid
night it's gameing night with the boys sure they were in the middle of moving
in and they were like crap it's an hour until I got to be online I'm going to
throw something together I'm going to use these saw horses I'm going to put this here I'm going to do that blah blah
blah blah I am not liking this chair situation though what chair situation
you'd be like sinking into this thing it looks more like a hammock oh my God
okay I don't believe this photo this
looks staged cuz the house is super clean yeah all the products are super
clean that's like a very solid small form factor PC down there this looks
thoughtful enough that it might just not be fake I think it's real but temporary
buddy reinforced the Box though if he was just taking the picture he could
have just put out these little side flaps to hold up the main flap but see
there's a second non lawnmower box inside to keep it from buckling oh uh
there's do armrest on the left side that's one of those things where like
it's not actually missing the arm it's missing 3 seconds of work to put the arm
back on that mouse pad sucks get a better one yeah LTC store.com yeah Home
garage setup oh the bong right there
front and center baby you went to massive bong I went to feet yeah yeah
yeah that's the first thing I saw oh got the gun 1911 probably Airsoft if it's
not store it properly please who are these names that are crossed out now
Alicia oh oh uh no notes keep sending it
oh do you see the second B whoa no I
didn't wow wait that's a laptop it
is dude it's just taped on that's crazy
tell me it's mounted more than that there's no way I love that this is
permanent enough that they put an RGB strip across the back of the monitor for
bias lighting I also love that they clearly are okay with taping things to
back of their monitor but just dangled that USB off behold my carpal tunnel
syndrome inducing setup wow reward
Yourself by getting a free table that you can put your legs under literally
games like this and it's not like you don't have the space it has to be a joke
it has to we need to do a better job with things like promoting scrap red
Wars we got a better chair for free I think this has potential I like the idea
of portable gaming setups yeah but you really need to make it that your legs
have somewhere to go and that there is more mousing area you're never too old
to be a game it's kind of sick that's crazy I
don't think they're doing a ton of gaming on the all-in-one Fujitsu
computer and that Mouse and that Mouse space you have enough to go up and down
also I love that we can tell that you're actually a boomer because you not only
have paper you got a printer someone in
the comments mentioning no IV bags imagine dropping the mouse and it falls
down the stairs all right the last one in r/ City Battle Stations it
belongs yeah I can't find a pattern with
you so I like janky ingenious Solutions
and this is a great way to have one of
those things this just your knees are constantly shooing
against that drawer I would give them the benefit of the doubt if the whole
thing had equivalent patina but like this bottom shelf is almost pristine oh
yeah and this is disgusting is disgusting so I think it's food and bod
things oh that's gross all right too many fake ones we got to get back to
stuff that's you know maybe an actual battle station and not just Karma
farming so these are people that weren't confident enough to post on r/b stations
but do think that their setups are good
how many of these subreddits exist there are there are too many of these sub what
are you talking about this is sick the grass wall dude dude this is sick why
were you not confident on Battle Stations this is probably one of the cooler ones we've seen I quite like this
idea they just need to commit to the plant wall and have other fake plants in
it as far as couple setups go I actually really like the vibe here they even took
the time to like clearly tuck something along the edge there Back to Basics
that's not a basic Mouse though Colton you're here this is your mouse well it
looks like it yeah Basics my butt wow
you spent a lot of money on arms the mic arm I totally understand the monitor one
I really don't feel like he got a lot of height out of it I don't like the texture of the paint but that's not
something I was just going to say uh your paint job sucks who do you think
you are Colton is this Colton they Colton's Mouse and got Colton's paint
quality leave me alone I was sent here too ridiculous for average battle
stations not enough Nano leafes for Battle
Stations I like it yep the curtains
could go oh gosh they can they ever bro is that a handbrake on the right that's
crazy in general I actually I give you respect I like this setup all right
apparently we're going back to actual r/ Battle Stations
oh dang look at the view out of this
place I mean you just doxed yourself but like that is a beautiful clock too
that's a sick place to store that though that's crazy assuming you're like
left-handed as well phase one more Decor
to come yeah please get more Decor this Wall's pretty boring really good start
though you can see the vision the one cable I just wrote that along the
monitor arm and I don't like that desk pad I don't like the texture of it but I
also don't like that it's curling up at the back left corner all right moving on
this person's asking how can I improve my station I'm sure we'll have some
thoughts there's lots to like here and I love this frog in the rocking chair this
is some of the most tasteful vinyl figurin that I think I have ever seen
that's a fairly tall keyboard I would get a wrist rest and I would get a
better mouse pad um other than that I
honestly think this is pretty sick oh you just named yourself you should
delete this we did find something to improve after
all Greenery oh cuz they used like the flares on r/ Battle station yeah that's
cool that is wow is that what is that one of those
Elgato that's the Elgato stream deck plus I think got the a really cool place
to that that's great I could hang out in this space Dual Purpose art SL acoustic
treatment super into that I thought that was Markiplier for
a hi I like the vibe I think the computer
space does nothing for me yeah why can
be mad that you don't have two monitors there's nowhere to put it this is fine it's also I think an ultra wide leave me
alone stop it that wasn't going to say anything you literally just projected
bro holy took your advice uh-oh Whose
advice did you take you're automatically going to win over David with The Last of
Us wallpaper I like it I'm a fan I wish I I have the Thor's hammer from God of
War Ragnarok but I wish I had the ax it's way cooler what's with this trend
of people having clocks under their monitors that would be a nice way I don't have to check my phone cuz if I
check my phone I'm going to have messages and I have to reply and then all of a sudden I'm outside of my game
whereas this I can just quickly look and be back back gaming I like the the
storage situation you have on the top left I think that's really cool this is
great very good Stu good job taking whoever's advice you took jury still out
but man you can't deny that view what view oh did they and I will
say again the PlayStation looks good I'm
tired of these boring people just being like Oh the Xbox is black normal box is
the best looking console that's why no one bought it I'm not saying that the
Xbox is better the PlayStation sucks ass it looks horrible no it looks good you
didn't even notice it right away because it fits so well in the setup yeah but now it sticks out like a godamn sore
thumb nope looks great yeah it's pretty tasteful honestly I don't feel like this
is the best use of the space though like they've got all this extra space over
here on the left but everything's kind of kind of crammed in here dude you have
an Overkill camera that's crazy Leica I think you's got two leas I'm talking
about their webcam I like a you a
lot another sub genre is Ikea oh boy I
like this this used to be a cool thing that everyone did you put up the boxes for
your Hardware why you need two gpus I
don't know doesn't matter to me yeah I like the peg board yeah I like the
controller holders over on the left what is that I think that's the stand so
reflective third monitor uh yeah in
general sick yeah switch foot dude that
a signed that's pretty cool look at this lens oh yeah who are you creeping on boy
100 to 400 I think like we'll sign your record if you
stop taking photos of us there's like a little bit of like you know just shove
that keyboard cable down the back there a little bit more RGB free is a tag so
like no RGB is just having a laptop is
that cheating it probably has an RGB keyboard so that's why it's closed
please please include me I'm pretty sure I see a backlight on this
keyboard I could be wrong I I think it's just the light ew are those overlapping
desk pads I think that's what that is am I it just goes to show you left-handed
people can't be trusted Light Side developer
setup I enjoy this just because you are
a rare Shiny Pikachu because all the
developers are into dark mode everything I was just going to say I love the
strategically positioned chair so that you can't see any of the cables by the
computer funny I was going to I thought you were going to point out the garbage can right in front of the plug nice yeah
that too you're one of those grown-up people I've heard so much about like
this is the most responsible adult that I will probably ever have any form of
interaction nice to meet you see you later I like the desk pad oh not this is
that Bloody desk pad again I know who wants felt desk pad ew I get it looks F
good but it feels awful or even if it
does feel good to you it's not the best for tracking don't do that um custom
Loops oh custom Loops that's
exciting W what what's that I'm
overwhelmed Luke I love it it is not
what I want but you go and you go hard I
am a big fan of anything like kind of UV
glow looking and this is For Better or
For Worse kind of my vibe that mic is
not where that know also I'm not a huge fan of the just like ugly random boxes
under it what is it game on the only monitor that's eye Lev is the laptop is
this even for gaming or is this a Hardcore Audio setup it might be a music
setup cuz they've got that keyboard they have speakers like crazy and that's a
wall mount Case by the way that they have not wall mounted icy cool with the
external radiator no no no put your radiator
somewhere else to hide it six set up pretty cool to have an external radi get
a second monitor please God this is such a great computer that's beautiful got
the pre-bent metal tubes I actually really dig those uh CPU runs the
traditional would be to do the the right angles but I actually really like the
just like they look like make me think of like lightning bolts like because
they also did both of them like I think if they had one that was diagonal it
would look way out of place but they were just like you know what I'm going to do both of them like this finishing
this off here are some of Alex's personal favorites
I live in a van and this is my battle station the
puppy boy even though that's like pose
he's like I need people to know I play the guitar yeah is it there when you sleep like that's a night elf Mohawk
nerd he's not going to understand he I've never played wow oh yeah oh for
sure and I think those are real plants you think so they look too branchy to be
fake they might not be alive my mom needed to use my computer
for her weekly book Club Zoom I don't think I'm getting it back that's
sick that actually looks awesome I love how you can clearly see little bro setup
in the mirror and he's he's just gameing G hard like he is unfazed by the the
craziest Redstone setup ever don't forget about the VR controllers for book
club are those pedals or are they just footrests oh it's a flight Sim cuz look
they have flight stem sticks so it's clearly like foot pedal to help with
steering and whatever maybe a bit different than the norm here I like this
one I'm just a fan of people that have their tools organized dude you got a Pog
perfectly organized garage I always really enjoy it when people have like
the craft areas next to their computer and this one is their computer is next
to their craft area it's like it's like the inversion which is actually really
cool they clearly are like a Hands-On do stuff and then okay I got time to game
oh the whole thing looks like it's on Wheels oh yeah yeah paint your wall
though brother you put the work into taping it and mudding it and sanding it
last land before I'm a dad I've actually seen this one before this one's
wholesome I love the just like making it work like this dude's most pad is just
like some picture from something these
people look like they could work here yeah this looks like a fun time and even
just the idea of like the last land party before having a kid I love it I'm
a big fan of this wholesome just like this wholesome segue to our sponsor
