have you ever thought about how so much gamer gear is expensive
but also kind of crap well something i bet you haven't thought about is that
maybe the solution is to take some of the most expensive gamer gear like
ASUS's rog lineup and combine it with some of the
less expensive things in the world made by ikea that's right my friends behind
me is the entire ASUS rog x ikea
collection including everything from rog themed pegboard storage to RGB
lighting to even this the ASUS rog
lens pillar a pillow
and we are going to be determining once and for all if it's more gamer
or more not gamer
and the video is brought to you by eaton thanks to eaton for sponsoring this
video eaton's 9px lithium-ion ups features an extended battery life of
eight to ten years and is network enabled for easy set and forget

you know what initial impressions pretty strong i'm hopeful
yes i am actually
man they've got everything in this collection mouse bungees cup holders
cups to go in the cup holders this weird
hand thing i'm gonna need some help fortunately
i've got it to make this go as fast as possible alex and serge will both be
contributing their considerable ikea furniture building skills
i don't even know what i'm looking at here to be honest with you i
beyond just hearing that ikea and ASUS
were collabing i don't really know anything about this what i suspect is
that this is a standing desk though based on that there's a controller here
for it actually rather than build this right away
i want to see what else we've got i'm going full bowl in a china shop here
just kind of figuring out what we're looking at this seems to be the table top for the desk
alex what do you got i got a chair gaming chair actually gaming chair
heck yeah it's blue though most gaming stuff's black and red
especially ASUS rog gaming stuff yeah interesting interesting what the devil
is this supposed to be what is this box why didn't you just make it one inch
taller it's probably another chair that's how the ikea ships their stuff
standard wait so our gaming setup has two chairs
i think so well i think that's the cheap chair that one's 69 and this one's like
150. oh
why do i get the cheap chair hey at least mine's red loser
wait i think that's the expensive one too oh no they sent a bunch of stuff but
they gave us a parts list and then they sent us twice as much stuff so i have no
clue what exactly we have can you hand me the allen key from that
absolutely are you the keeper of the allen keys no i'm the modifier of the allen keys oh
what are you doing to them i'm going to chop them off and then just stick them in a drill
wow that's that's smart this pillow actually feels
really nice and i'm a little bit concerned that it's not a simple pillow
the intended use is apparently to have it sit on your lap
and you can put your hands in here to keep them warm but check this out
there's a zipper is it a jacket it is is
it really yeah the rog gaming pillow
jacket wait is it more like like a like
a snuggie style jacket
okay maybe
got my hands in here for warmth okay andy 25 bucks
really yeah wow that's really cheap
oh this is cool okay so remember when there was all that controversy over the
cost of the wheels for the mac pro
well boy does ikea ever have a solution for
you oh gosh this is the
up spell and basically it's two little metal
brackets so you can presumably adjust the actual width of it you put wheels on
the bottom and you roll your computer around genius
20 bucks what are you working on over there serge it looks like it's a cold let's see what
is this it's an upspell cabinet but looks like so you
can store your trophies in it and whatnot so
to apple's credit their casters are a little nicer the way this works is you
slide this in and then you just bend the tab of metal
to hold it into place that's
extremely cheap in fairness that is 35
times less expensive yep 20 bucks is the
correct price for this is it too wide it's too wide yeah
we didn't go for a high-end enough rog pc it looks kind of ridiculous
hey alex look how fast my computer is
jeez easy there
whoa whoa whoa hold on a second
is this a full-sized desk pad oh wait no
this is probably a floor mat for the chair yeah it's a floor mat oh i was i
was way too excited about this it's nice that it matches the aesthetic of the
desk pad here that's pretty cool
okay now lioness you might say what could
possibly be the point of that to which i would reply
i can hold all kinds of things your controller your headphones
hey alex hey alex
oh cool how much would it hurt them
to in addition to the like name um
tell you what it is okay this was really easy except for
this one bolt you can't get to because of that
but whatever uh it can just stay there wait what
well we can i'm sure we can do it uh we probably let me see
and we have a chair that is definitely the same as the other chair that's very
unfortunate
it doesn't feel too bad oh maybe it does
so remember that you're spoiled and you have like a 700 chair at your desk
and a like 450 one at home yeah it's actually not that bad
just need that context okay i think this is the part where we
start putting holes in the wall boys what about before that we build the desk
and see where we want it oh building desks is such a pain
it's okay i'm ready i'm ready to republic of gamer's game oh
serge you don't have to be that careful with stuff just just chuck the packaging
anywhere logistics will come clean it up i mean you mean me
usually you want me to go get up sure no problem
surge works in logistics that's that's the joke and also we we try to be nice
for that i think that completes that now you have your little trophy case
all you need to do now is ever win a trophy
uh oh i think that's helpful i think that's the frame actually a frame the
for for the desk frame i think it might be a second desk is it
oh because i think that they sent us the non-standing one
and then we were like we want the standing one and that's when they sent us all the other crap oh
okay so while i put together this one you can throw together the alternate one
i guess you know these are the very bolt cutters that got me out of a locked park after
we were accidentally there after closing
what so i just became very concerned because
my right ARM has an l on it
and the other one has an r on it
except that this is without a doubt the left ARM
which means they just have the markings backwards well trying to
see how the engineers came up with this with these drawings when they first
created this otherwise it seems straightforward but then looking for the parts as it becomes
another nightmare this is the second ultraspillar table i think that's how
it's pronounced which is the first the table this sentence which turns out to
be the non-standing desk one
second chair is done i think it feels faster
here we've got a drawer that's on casters to go beside your table
i don't know what makes it a gamer drawer but i guess we'll find it soon
here hey hey i know what makes something
gamer drawers oh no lttestore.com baby got the
underwear i guess drawers is technically uh
drawers as pants but big moment of truth andy this is one of
those terrible things from ikea where you just have like
a hundred different dowels and crap to put in to kind of ambiguous holes
and now you get to find out if it goes together you did it right and
if it doesn't go together you're going back and trying to figure
out which dowel you put in the wrong stupid hole or something
it worked
okay so this corner got bashed up in shipping so i kind of want that one at
the back okay so it's that shell when we flip it we should be fine then yeah okay
let's do it did you get did you nail it
really are all the holes aligned right now i'm impressed
you have a bright future as an ikea furniture assembly lady thank you
uh okay how many of these do we put in
why is it seven how could it be seven no i refuse to accept that
what kind of number is seven
i hate
my side you're the one who you're the one who had upset how long it is uh yeah
but you're the one who validated
i asked you yeah and i said i think so
right so it's on you but so you're supposed to
visually
is this just another floor mat this is this one feels a lot more sturdy than
this than uh that one and i think that one i don't think so i
think this is exactly the same thing why'd they send us two floor mats i
don't know okay well i mean yeah we got two chairs
maybe they just assumed we have a friend who will sit in game with us maybe
we're pc gamers hey there we go they also sent us two prints which are
actually kind of like cyber one cyberpunk looking the other one is i have no idea what that is
um oh there we go rog
table we're going over hold up
yes this way
okay if you could just um maybe take the cardboard out
i'm good i'm fine
where are you
so you can either have this at the back for your cable management or you can
have it at the front for your pulling yourself closer to your monitor so you
can get that get that gamer posture
what what now oh
well that's unfortunate i don't have a shark yeah that's a sharpie job right
there that's uh that's a take it back to ikea job right there yeah
no no we're gonna try theirs first i know ours is way better okay fine show
ours it's way better it's way better it is way better i mean that's just oh man
that's nice look at how much better fits the desk that's so much better
lttstore.com but but but for now this is
the rog ikea build so we'll use their smaller inferior mouse pad without even
stitched edges wow you know what that looks wonderful
also i only give honest feedback
no comment did you ever think wow
i really love that cup holder but what it needed was more wood grain
boy do i ever have the solution for you
in all seriousness though this clamp outstanding it's like
all aluminum solid aluminum as far as i can tell
so this thing no joke that's going to hold your
beverage like nobody's business does it fit an LTT water bottle if it doesn't
i'm taking it back does it not
oh what about the small one the 20 amps
well they kind of go together oh that's cool it's got it oh yeah sure
oh heck yeah it's a match made in heaven for the 40
ounce look at that
oh man this thing
officially awesome now that it fits this LTT Store.com okay
but this is the rog build alex get this crap out of here now i need this this
fits much better
oh here we go oh yeah
oh i'm feeling rog already yeah the chair is not amazing hey alex no
if you're like a kid or if you're kind of light it probably won't be a problem
but i have a little too much ass girth this is hilarious i was about to put
this down here and then be like oh now i got to put it on the thing
not at all
duh this is actually amazing oh it can't go
there Linus why not because this thing's going to be awesome
oh what's that it's the drawer that goes beside it but it has cable management
built in the back it's actually pretty sweet oh i thought it was going to go more like here
yeah this can go there and then the pc can go on top of it and then cable
manage everything into it on top of it but i got the floor rolling thing but
then it's on casters but i got the it is on casters yeah but those casters are
way worse you can cable magic into this then you have you have your just gaming
cart you can go from you know your desk to your living room
it's not even the right size now normally i would obviously put in
anchors and or try to hit the stud but this is going to be here for about half
an hour so i'm not too worried about it
uh how level am i sorry 50 kilos is the weight limit for
this table that's it huh
wow how about that
maybe stay in line with like right here
oh cool it's a pegboard inside the case too oh
i love it oh crap i was getting it on the mouse pad and
then i shook it off the table and now it's on the floor mat
maybe i should have brought a bigger drill bit
yeah i need a bigger drill bit
oh we didn't have to use drywall anchors
this is plywood
we did that so that we wouldn't have to use drywall anchors no no wonder it
didn't go in well don't put the drywall anchor in now
we're committed unless we use like trunk-tastic screws what could be better
than this mounting job this can hold so much award
we got these RGB strips that are
five meters so we have two of them and we need to
figure out how we want to run it to make everything a lot of meters yeah oh it's
actually a i i like this mechanism this is so much better than
most of the RGB connection things i've seen it's got a nice little housing on
it oh yeah red bit oh wait uh there's different
colors all right we're gonna have to adjust
that it does look cool yeah see you're being such a hater before and all of a sudden
you're like oh it's actually pretty cool you were totally
you were one it's a good way to mount this
i don't know double sided tape thinking attack
who has tax
um i don't know check the accounting department
get it yes tax is they
they do our taxes yes yes
i can't believe you made andy roll for that they also have a bulletin board
all right uh who wants to help level me
no she's tried dude that looks sick
oh yeah i love the pegboard the poster
is awful yeah the poster's not great it's ruined
whole day ruined um but this is good too maybe we just take this out put some
electrical tape over there and then we'll be good i think that's a really solid plan because that is truly
spectacularly bad i got to be honest oh it goes on the
other way it goes on forward
i think it does anyway yeah yeah yeah yeah cause that's where the hands go
that's gotta be it i gotta tell you though
after you guys put the finishing touches on it i don't think it looks very good what
because it looks very great it looks so awesome
man like freaking rog ikea who would
have ever thunk it right like it's just
man it went from yeah i don't know like whatever it's
like ikea furniture or whatever to like
oh man you're a gamer now dog
like look at this place it looks awesome the whole thing is just
super cohesive and like not it's not just gamer desk worthy like
this is like set worthy like it looks freaking
like we spent a fortune on it oh i see we uh we ended up swapping out the
desktop for ours
oh yeah i haven't even looked at your setup yet you know what i love this cable
management concept like having it kind of go back into like
it's like it's like it's like a board room table kind of thing i got no idea
what's happening no
come on so it's the usual conclusion an epic
gaming setup cannot make you an epic gamer
but at least you'll feel good doing it just like i feel good telling you about
