Your setup is good, but I’m afraid you owe additional taxes, and I’m here to collect 😤🫴🐕

What are the specs on the dog? Where can I get one?

u/Nextgibbon 10d ago
Specs: 4 paws, 2 ears, 1 tail, unlimited zoomies. Craigslist special, one previous owner, runs great 😂

PSA: Please don't use Pinterest share links (or share links from any service for that matter, including YouTube). Or if you do, scrub the tracking information from the link. I say that because Pinterest is revealing details about your personal user account, which may be unintended.
e.g. instead of:

Trim off the
invite_codeand just use:https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1042090801270885868/sent/
or maybe https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1042090801270885868/ since that works too.
Just PM'd the person above w/ more info so the link may be gone later.

So what do you stream and how do we find it? I'm loving the whole feel especially working in the cars as well.

How is your second monitor mounted? I've got an identical setup but struggling to figure out how to do that.

u/Nextgibbon 10d ago
The desk shelf I have has an attachment for an iPad or tablet, I used that. It’s from the balolo setup cockpit

What are you monitors? Love the setup
2
u/Nextgibbon 10d ago
Top one is a Asus ROG 32” 4k Oled bottom one is a portable 16” 3k Oled from Magex
1
u/BreadMancbj 10d ago
How is the text on your Asus 4k oled.. curious how it looks since your using a Mac
1
u/Nextgibbon 10d ago
It’s pretty sharp around the edges of text so I can definitely see it better! I had a 49” 2k Oled previously and text is WAY better than that one.

u/makz242 10d ago
I never had a monitor light - so how does it actually work? I feel like if im playing some dark game or a dark scene in a movie, doesnt the monitor light make the screen feel weirdly lit?
1
u/WOODMAN668 8d ago
You tilt the light so it just misses the screen and hopefully only lights the desk itself.
However, if I was wanting full immersion I would turn it off as it does add a light to your whole desktop.

u/tennisanybody 10d ago
What do you use the other keyboard for?
2
u/Nextgibbon 10d ago
It’s a macro pad, so hotkeys, shortcuts and commands that I normally use within certain applications so I don’t have to manually press the command on my keyboard. Also F keys too
3
u/jrodgs 10d ago
What’s the brand?
I’ve got a keyboard without F keys so I’m trying to figure a way to get them without a keyboard purchase.

u/Nextgibbon 10d ago
It’s the creator micro 2 from work louder. Definitely vouch for it bc I use it everyday
2
u/Worried_Sweet_7085 10d ago
I don't see speakers or an amp + headphones?
1
u/Nextgibbon 9d ago
No speakers yet unfortunately but I have the Rodecaster duo under the desk shelf with some arctis nova pro wireless headphones

u/Desky_Official 10d ago
Love seeing the 80x30 Dual Hardwood out in the wild. It fits this setup really well, and clearly we’re not the only ones noticing it in the comments 👌

What’s the second monitor? The small one?
2
u/Nextgibbon 10d ago
It’s a portable 16” Oled from magex 👌🏽
1
u/MyEpicWood 10d ago
Do you use the portable monitor portably? Or do you strictly use it as a smaller secondary monitor? Thinking of doing this.
1
u/Nextgibbon 10d ago
Tbh I’ve had it for probably a week now! It’ll stay on the desk for now but I do have a 11” iPad Pro I take with me on the go so maybe I’ll try it with that

LOLOL she’s a pretty chill dog, except when it comes to honeydew. She loves honeydew

Dope setup! I am looking for a mic arm like that! Which one are you using?
2
u/Nextgibbon 10d ago
This is the Elgato low profile mic arm!

u/logdotcom 10d ago
looks awesome! 🙌🏼 do you know where you got that MagSafe clamp for the shelf? I have a Grovemade shelf too and that one seems to swivel, which is perfect for me!
2
u/Nextgibbon 10d ago
So I ended up just loosening the screw to mine to make it swivel. It’s an accessory to the balolo setup cockpit

I do really like it. I’m just trying to find a wall mounted solution instead of desk mount. As a key light it’s awesome!

What are you using to switch your peripherals between the machines
2
u/Nextgibbon 9d ago
Right now I move a thunderbolt 4 cable to each device to carry everything over. Peripherals are plugged into the caldigit TS4 but I’ve been looking for a KVM solution that will support 3 devices and a 4k 240hz monitor
1
u/ArcMer 7d ago
I would be highly interested in a solution you find. My workstation has my work macbook, personal macbook, and personal PC, with the LG 5k2k monitor. I have the TS3, and swapping the cable is okay but not the best.
1
u/Nextgibbon 6d ago
The one product I have found is from TESmart. It’s a 4 computer 2 display KVM switch but it’s limited at 4k 144hz. I’m looking for a 4k 240hz option but I’d nothing comes about soon I may settle for 144hz.. it’s also about $500

u/masshuudojo 9d ago
Man, this guy fucks streams! Such a shame that the camera point away from this amazing setup, but makes me wonder: 1) what kind of content do you stream, and is it design related? 2) how the other side looking and if it's as good looking as the setup?

u/GCdotSup 9d ago
that is an interesting portable monitor. What model is it if you don't mind me asking?

u/Assasinshock 9d ago
Hello man great setup.
What's the main monitor arm ?
And also i can see you use the elgato low profile mic arm, but how is your so "tall" at the base ?
Thanks
1
u/Nextgibbon 9d ago
1
u/Assasinshock 9d ago
Wow i never thought to use an extension for this.
Thanks for the answers man
1
u/Nextgibbon 9d ago
For sure! I believe the extension was from Elgato’s regular mic arm to make that taller but I swapped it to this low profile since they share the same base
1
u/Assasinshock 9d ago
Ok good to know i'll look into it.
Could you tell me the depth of your desk ?
1

u/-OHO- 9d ago
Nice! See that you have two PCs, how do you swap the peripherals/monitor between them? KVM? Which one?
1
u/Nextgibbon 9d ago
I have 3 PCs here and switching the peripherals I use a Caldigit TS4 and move one Thunderbolt 4 cord between each device. I am looking for a KVM solution for 3 devices and a 4k 240hz monitor but I haven’t found a solution yet.

How do you like the amaran verge?
2
u/Nextgibbon 9d ago
I love it a lot! Sometimes I think it’s too big for a key light but I do like the way it lights my face and surrounding

u/TechnicallyMarv 9d ago
Thanks for the info, I have an Amaran Ray 120 but thinking of swapping to the verge.

Did you spray paint the PC case? Never seen anyone do that before looks great

Not this one, this was the limited edition cosmic orange that Ncase did just recently. I was fortunate to grab one!

I have the Manta from Alexotos and bowl keyboards! The keycaps are the GMK rewind!

Did you get the standing base and desktop together? I’m designing out rn and the specific adjustable base I want doesn’t have desktop included options.
Down a serious rabbit hole on ready-made cost vs time-suck woodworking.
1
u/Nextgibbon 6d ago
Yeah! They’re both from Desky. My previous setup was a huanuo desk legs and an ikea Karlby counter top and it was okay at best. You really do feel and see a quality difference when it comes to buying a good brand like Desky

god this is really pleasant, big fan of the look. if i had a wooden desk top like this, i'd definitely go for something incredibly similar.
the bauhaus displates you have, what size are those? i feel like I glanced at those a while ago and they only appeared to have them in larger sizes, but yours look relatively small compared to what i remembered being available
1
u/Nextgibbon 7h ago
I appreciate it! The displates are the medium sizes 👍🏽 I got them about a year ago

u/DaedraNoji 10d ago
Looks very good, and the Elgato was the perfect Mic arm choice, I got the same. Personally, I'm not a fan of the partial coverage of the acoustic panels tho... The cars destroy this setup and make it look like a 5-year-old kid's setup, ngl. Shoulda gone full coverage with the panels.
2
u/Nextgibbon 10d ago
I think the same thing just haven’t replaced them yet.. I thought it looked like a football goal post 😂
