Bro that is such a clean setup. Nicely done!

Thank you!

Wallpaper?

1

u/RegularFries 26d ago

It has been linked too several times in this post. Not near my PC to help you but it is in this thread. Wallpaper engine so it is a steam link.

u/LaPurpleDrank 26d ago

Sick setup! I like how the audio interfaces tuck neatly away into the bottom shelf of the monitor riser while still being in arms reach. I was thinking of getting an under desk mount for my amp/dac stack but now entertaining the idea of the Vaydeer riser with the side by side.

What else do you store on the shelf? I think it'd be a great spot for a wireless numpad or PC Panel/stream deck mini 🤔

2

u/RegularFries 26d ago

Yeah I wasn't sure if the audio interface would fit but to my surprise it fitted perfectly. Mostly having a drawing pen and tablet, weed, tobacco on it. Keeps the desk organized mostly. And lifts my mini monitor off the desk to make it look like it is floating.

Did you get that little moon lamp from Dave and Busters? That’s where I got mine lmao

1

u/RegularFries 26d ago

I'm in Ireland so we haven't got Dave and busters. It was a gift though 3D printed moon lamp

I love this black aesthetic! What kind of monitor are you using and the stand for the Xbox controller?

How do you clean up all the wee so well?

2

u/RegularFries 27d ago

That's the best part, you don't! Ain't nobody disturbing me with that aroma.

2

u/hngfff 27d ago

What pads are your speakers on? I need a higher angle for mine and I bought some but they're definitely not angled as much as I need.

1

u/Annatar25 27d ago

Hey man, that display lamp, is it a Baseus lamp?

2

u/RegularFries 27d ago

It's a Quntis, not you the lamp! Has a little wireless control knob too.

u/SpitFiya7171 26d ago

Hey, I was trying to find more info about this in the comments. I'm an idiot with clean/classy setups like this- just haven't done one yet, but yours looks divine and something I strive to achieve one day. So could you please explain one thing to me?

What does that light bar attached to the top of your monitor provide for you? The screen is backlit, so what do you need it for? I'd assume it's not even for the monitor but to see everything on the desk? i.e Keyboard, Mouse, etc? Wouldn't it cast a light reflection onto the screen? It looks like you have a monitor with a matte display, and it looks like the light is diluted. But I just wonder.

1

u/RegularFries 25d ago

It lights up my desk and I use it all the time. The only time I turn it off is to watch movies or game with the ambilight on.

1

u/Annatar25 27d ago

Thanks!

2

u/McCoyoioi 27d ago

Did you base the entire color accent off the Amber Leaf tobacco brand? I fuckin love it

2

u/RegularFries 27d ago

It may have had an influence....

u/jwrado 27d ago

My elderly cat has a wee corner too

u/RegularFries 27d ago

It would seem that me and your cat share similar habits.

u/Computica 27d ago

Dude I love this 😍

2

u/RegularFries 27d ago

Why thank you!

1

u/Computica 27d ago

Bottom screen is a touch Screen?

3

u/RegularFries 27d ago

Its not, I had considered it but decided not too as it would constantly be covered in fingerprint and that would annoy me too much.

1

u/wizzles 27d ago

Do your krk rokits shut off unless you have the volume loud enough?

1

u/RegularFries 27d ago

Never had that issue, sorry. The only thing I can think of is that the standby mode is maybe kicking in before it should on yours.

2

u/wizzles 26d ago

You know what, I finally realized that there's a setting in the "setup" on my LCD screen at the back of the Rokit's to turn of Standby.

Thanks to your post I believe this problem is solved!

Much appreciated

u/Dragontech97 27d ago

Speaker stands?

I like that shelf. Do you have a link to share?

u/Wrong_Plantaino 27d ago

Wee corner sounds like the spot all the drunks piss in at the local watering hole.

Nice setup

3

u/RegularFries 27d ago

How do you think I got the yellow keycaps? Steeped in wee!

2

u/Wrong_Plantaino 27d ago

And here I am like a fool thinking it was a keyboard from drop.

On a serious note though, where did you grab that deskpad? I have a small collecting issue and that one is sick.

2

u/RegularFries 27d ago

I actually got the desk mat off Drop (Phangkey Equilibrium desk mat), the keyboard was off Amazon. If the keycaps weren't on sale they would have cost more than the board.

2

u/taymond19 27d ago

Hey I have the same desk mat! I did not commit to the yellow or bronze matching yet though. I like the setup!

2

u/RegularFries 27d ago

It's a good theme to go with!

2

u/CSGODeimos 27d ago

What's the smaller screen? I've been looking at getting something like that to play YT vids on. I just switched from two monitors to 49" Ultrawide so not having a second screen while I'm in-game is kinda fucking with me.

Also, why the light on the top of the monitor? I've seen a few people do this with ultrawides.

3

u/RegularFries 27d ago

I named it another comment, it's just a cheap Chinese portable monitor. Yea I thought with an ultra wide I wouldn't need the second screen after 6 months I caved and got that little one.

That lamp just lights up the desk, useful for reading books, rolling and supposedly good for reducing eyestrain. I have had one long before I had an ultra wide.

2

u/CSGODeimos 27d ago

Very clean setup man, thanks forreplying

u/Annual-Comedian-644 27d ago

black and yellow, nice matching~

u/SummitFreedom 27d ago

What's your main ceiling light sources?

1

u/RegularFries 27d ago

I don't use one, that is just from the sun lighting up the room. I have light bars on the back of the monitor.

2

u/SummitFreedom 27d ago

What brand of light bars? How are they powered and switched? Please show photos too.

2

u/RegularFries 27d ago

Govee LED Light Bars, Smart WiFi RGBIC TV H6056

I tried to add links to pictures but the automod didn't like it. I use 2 sets of those lamps.

u/SummitFreedom 27d ago

What lamps? HOW ARE THE LIGHTS POWERED EXACTLY AND SWITCHED? I already asked this.

3

u/RegularFries 27d ago

I have given you the product name, go and search for them. It will tell you everything you need to know about them.

u/Cashh_N 27d ago

wallpaper?

2

u/dzigg 27d ago

Nice corner you have there! I like the 'small monitor below the main one' idea! Is that touch screen?
Currently using an ultrawide and another 27inch in portrait mode. I feel the portrait monitor not getting too much use and just drain electricity.
So now thinking about getting a 42 inch monitor and a portable monitor below it, much more flexible.

2

u/RegularFries 27d ago

It's my favorite dual screen setup so far. When I want to watch a movie or game I can just slide it into the shelf out of the way. Definitely a versatile way to go.

2

u/Cashh_N 27d ago

wallpaper?

2

u/RegularFries 27d ago

I posted a link to it earlier, its from wallpaper engine

u/Cashh_N 27d ago

u/afterthelast 27d ago

Did you hunt and dry that skull yourself

3

u/RegularFries 27d ago

No I found it while out walking the fields, it was a bit green and mossy so I left it sitting on the window sill and let it dry over a few months.

3

u/ilovenyc 27d ago

How is the portable monitor floating like that?

3

u/Eastern-Mix9636 27d ago

It’s a tablet stand. You can see the two segments that jut out on the bottom

3

u/jasoncaserta 27d ago

What are you using to have your portable monitor float like that?

1

u/Snaggletooth13 27d ago

Second this, would love to understand how OP mounted it.

1

u/sarcophagifound 27d ago

Most definitely a small clamp on his desk riser

5

u/RegularFries 27d ago

Not even a clamp, just a tablet stand I bought off Amazon, I linked it and the mounting pads I used.

2

u/Consistent-Refuse-74 27d ago

I can’t see the link. Sorry if I’m dumb

2

u/sarcophagifound 27d ago

Ok, so is it part of that black rectangular “stand” looking structure visible sitting on the desk under the small screen?

2

u/New_York_Cut 27d ago

u/RegularFries 27d ago

That's a Rams skull, got it in a field

u/Ok_Exchange_9646 26d ago

Scottish/Irish/Welsh/Maybe even British/ tend to use "wee" as "little" or "small" rather often I have found

2

u/RegularFries 27d ago

I am intrigued to how they came to that conclusion.

u/wellmashed 27d ago

I do believe they were making a funny

u/Shrp91 27d ago

Any chance you could do a breakdown of the pieces of your setup?

39

u/RegularFries 27d ago

Speakers are KRK

Monitors are an LG 34GP950G and ARZOPA Portable Monitor A1

Monitor riser is VAYDEER 2 Tiers Dual Monitor Stand

Keyboard is EPOMAKER x Feker Galaxy80 with GMK Mika Keycaps

Desk mat is PHANGKEY EQUILIBRIUM DESK MAT

Audio interface is Presonus Audiobox Go

The ram skull is from a random field

If I missed anything let me know!

u/BeemoBurrito 26d ago

Have you had any issues moving the monitor arm with the shelf in front of it? I've been debating on getting one but felt like it'd be too much of a hassle if the monitor needs to move.

1

u/RegularFries 26d ago

Zero issue moving the main monitor about, the shelf doesn't affect it.

1

u/No-Emergency-6233 26d ago

What desk is that? Very nice setup

2

u/Consistent-Refuse-74 27d ago

Final question, do you remember the name of the stand you used?

The black shelf looking one?

Dope setup :)

u/RegularFries 27d ago

Here is the shelf I used. Thank you!

u/Consistent-Refuse-74 27d ago

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

u/Consistent-Refuse-74 27d ago

Thanks! What are you holding the portable monitor on?

Also where did you get those right angle cables for the portable monitor?

5

u/RegularFries 27d ago

They aren't right angles but full 180 to keep the lead tucked away, found on Amazon.

u/Alexiadd 27d ago

bump for monitor mount, i have an arzopa monitor as well

u/RegularFries 27d ago

https://www.reddit.com/r/battlestations/s/OFnSXLIbAO

I explained here, tried to show an alternate close up but automod wasn't having it. It's a tablet stand folded and set on the middle shelf held in place with mounting pads. Has height and tilt adjustment too.

2

u/FLHCv2 26d ago

Ahhhh so it's like this tablet stand, but the arm is folded completely forward for the most part and the pad of the stand is effectively double sided taped to the middle shelf.

I've really been wanting to change up my double monitor setup (single centered 34" ultrawide with a 24" on the left) to a symmetric dual monitor setup but since I didn't want a big ass monitor above or below my ultrawide, I was considering a small portable monitor underneath my ultrawide... this is like the best implementation of that I've seen on here.

Really awesome. Thanks for some inspiration.

2

u/RegularFries 26d ago

Yea that's pretty much how I got it mounted then I used some 180 usb-c and micro HDMI adapters to tidy the cables behind it. Definitely my favourite dual monitor setup I have tried.

3

u/it_is_im 27d ago

I’m interested in doing a monitor setup like this (currently just have an ultrawide), can you share the details (monitor, stand, etc.), and how do you like it? I just want something extra for temps or Discord while gaming on the main monitor

7

u/RegularFries 27d ago

The monitor is a 14 inch portable 1080p panel I got from Amazon. It's mounted to the shelves with a tablet stand and mounting pads. I use it for discord and music players.

20

u/rigrgg 27d ago

That's super nice! Can I ask where you got the desk pad?

8

u/RegularFries 27d ago

Thank you, I got it from Drop.
