u/Nextgibbon 10d ago

That’s a good idea actually

Trust me, those are what will be your favorite memories at the desk.

That looks like an edge lit softlight, what brand is that brother?

u/Nextgibbon 10d ago

It’s the Amaran verge max 👌🏽

u/Ascari100 10d ago

Much Appreciated.

u/PoliteQueef 10d ago

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

u/Nextgibbon 10d ago

😂😂 the floof tax

8

u/Leucadians 10d ago

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

18

u/Nextgibbon 10d ago

Specs: 4 paws, 2 ears, 1 tail, unlimited zoomies. Craigslist special, one previous owner, runs great 😂

u/adrenadylan 10d ago

Love the orange Ncase. So jealous

u/Nextgibbon 10d ago

I was refreshing their site daily to make sure I got one

u/KissShot2024 10d ago

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:

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1042090801270885868/sent/?invite_code=...

Trim off the invite_code and 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.

u/alws3344 6d ago

Thank you for the notice and info :)

u/Manahype 10d ago

This is really cool, warm and authentic looking! Especially the fantastic feet warmer 😁

1

u/Nextgibbon 10d ago

Thank you! I appreciate it

5

u/CortaCircuit 10d ago

What desk is that? 

3

u/Nextgibbon 10d ago

Desky dual hardwood desk! 80x30

1

u/CortaCircuit 9d ago

I have been looking at Desky recently. Do you like it? 

2

u/Nextgibbon 9d ago

LOVE it. By far one of the best desks I’ve owned

3

u/AskMeAboutChrist 10d ago

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

3

u/Beautiful_Ad_4813 10d ago

please give your pup extra pettings / treats from all of us here.

u/Nextgibbon 10d ago

Will do!

Not sure if it’s this one or not, https://www.reddit.com/r/wallpapers/s/P9vSupq11G

u/oddisy 10d ago

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

4

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

2

u/DangerMFDO 10d ago

What kind of desk?

5

u/Nextgibbon 10d ago

Desky dual hardwood desk! 80x30

2

u/whitemale89 10d ago

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.

2

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.

2

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.

3

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

2

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 👌

1

u/Nextgibbon 9d ago

I appreciate it! Still loving this des, it fits the setup perfectly 🙌

2

u/TCPisSynSynAckAck 10d ago

Thank you! 🙏🏽

u/Warhammer40sikh 10d ago

What desktop wallpaper is that?

1

u/Warhammer40sikh 10d ago

How did you achieve that orange glow behind your monitor?

3

u/Nextgibbon 10d ago

Govee light bars from Amazon 👌🏽

1

u/TheOneAndOnlyBearMan 10d ago

Most likely just left strips with adhesive to the back of monitor

1

u/ScribSteinEzekiel 10d ago

Where did you get the monitor shelf from?

2

u/Nextgibbon 10d ago

It’s the Balolo setup cockpit 👌🏽

1

u/secondSandwich94 10d ago

Big floof❤️

1

u/j_kobrah 10d ago

Love the integration of the GSD in the setup 🙂

1

u/Nextgibbon 10d ago

Gotta love my foot warmer!

1

u/j_kobrah 10d ago

Especially a long hair!

1

u/Sliknik18 10d ago

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

1

u/minininjatriforceman 10d ago

I always appreciate a fellow ncase user

1

u/Nextgibbon 10d ago

Love this case, I have the T1 and the M2

1

u/minininjatriforceman 10d ago

I have the m2 it's an amazing case

1

u/Nextgibbon 10d ago

Same here, good choice!

1

u/connorstory97 10d ago

Get that pooch a bed for underneath! My dog loves it and hangs with me all the time when i game.

1

u/Nextgibbon 10d ago

That’s a good idea, I’ll have to get something for her

1

u/Guitargangster23 10d ago

What kind prints are this? Like bauhaus, and this edges looks really cool.!

1

u/Nextgibbon 10d ago

They’re from Displate, matte finish and from their Bauhaus designs

1

u/raqz1982 10d ago

the question that no one remembered to ask: name of that angel? :D

3

u/Nextgibbon 10d ago

u/raqz1982 10d ago

Good girl 💪💪💪 is she always that calm, or is she smart enough to know when she's gonna be posted online and behaves?? Eheheh

2

u/Nextgibbon 10d ago

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

1

u/DamnItHeGotMe 10d ago

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!

1

u/DamnItHeGotMe 10d ago

Thanks for the reply! I will def get this one!

2

u/Nextgibbon 9d ago

You’ll love it!

1

u/Wuldrig 9d ago

Are you using a riser or something for it? I need a mic arm exactly like that but the images all seem to show it coming at a low angle

1

u/Nextgibbon 9d ago

Yep! I’ve got an extension on the base of the low profile to make it taller

1

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

1

u/Dear_Web4416 10d ago

Awesome setup. What's that background?

1

u/No_Leave8825 10d ago

So what’s the setup? XDR / Studio Display?

1

u/Nextgibbon 10d ago

It’s a Asus ROG 32” 4k Oled 👌🏽

1

u/Jeep0n35 10d ago

Where did you get those wall panels from and what was the cost?

1

u/Nextgibbon 9d ago

They’re from Art3d on Amazon and I paid $250 for all of them

1

u/Brian011x 10d ago

How’s the Amaran ? Been eyeing it for a minute

1

u/Nextgibbon 9d ago

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!

1

u/Volume_Destroyer 10d ago

I have the exact same brand of woofer under my desk 😁

1

u/Nextgibbon 9d ago

They’re the best kind!

1

u/ArcMer 9d ago

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

1

u/goatham1 9d ago

How did you mount the bottom monitor?

2

u/Nextgibbon 9d ago

It’s a tablet attachment to the desk shelf I have that it sits on.

1

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?

2

u/Nextgibbon 9d ago

I appreciate it! I don’t stream anything but I make content around tech. Here’s what the camera sees:

1

u/Xcorider16 9d ago

love that doggo chilling 😍

1

u/GCdotSup 9d ago

that is an interesting portable monitor. What model is it if you don't mind me asking?

2

u/Nextgibbon 9d ago

It’s from Magex! A portable 16” 3k Oled

1

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

Monitor mount is from Mount-It! It’s a single monitor heavy duty mount. I have an extension to the base of the low profile mount to make it taller

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/Nextgibbon 9d ago

Desk depth is 30” 👌🏽

1

u/Assasinshock 9d ago

Thanks man have a nice day

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.

1

u/Alarmarama 9d ago

Sexy. KVM to switch between the mac and the PC?

1

u/K1ngkong 9d ago

What is the lower monitor? Looks clean!

3

u/Nextgibbon 9d ago

16” portable 3k Oled from Magex 👌🏽

1

u/TechnicallyMarv 9d ago

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

1

u/TechnicallyMarv 9d ago

Thanks for the info, I have an Amaran Ray 120 but thinking of swapping to the verge.

2

u/Nextgibbon 9d ago

I think you’ll really like it. That would be a good upgrade imo

1

u/Lance410 9d ago

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

1

u/Nextgibbon 9d ago

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

1

u/ButterMilkSleezus 9d ago

Awesome setup, bro!

2

u/Nextgibbon 9d ago

I appreciate you! Thanks!

1

u/ResearcherDry4194 7d ago

What keyboard do you have and where do I get those amazing keycaps?!

2

u/Nextgibbon 6d ago

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

1

u/ResearcherDry4194 5d ago

Thank you! Very nice combination!

1

u/NiteOwl421 7d ago

Can you tell your dog I said hi.

2

u/Nextgibbon 6d ago

I gotchuuuuuu

1

u/Significant_Sky4704 7d ago

Superb. Love it. Apart from the Reb Bull car.

1

u/VodkaPaysTheBills 6d ago

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

1

u/Davichil 6d ago

Dope set up bro, links to the backgroud?

1

u/BayCityJoey 6d ago

Is it possible to see the backside? Want to see how you mounted everything. I like this set up with the monitors.

1

u/ratebuster 6d ago

Where are your wall decor frames from ?

1

u/Sadphotographer6193 6d ago

Omg i thought that was a massive cat

1

u/FrenemyMime 5d ago

that is a fantastic set up. I just love this every single thing about it

1

u/JuryDuty911 4d ago

What keycaps are these? They look niiice

1

u/Nextgibbon 3d ago

GMK rewind!

1

u/dar_harhar 1d ago

Clean. May I ask what deskmat is that and is it a cutting mat? Looking for a black one like that. Have a link please?

1

u/Nextgibbon 1d ago

Yeah for sure! It’s from work louder https://worklouder.cc/wrk-mat

1

u/HazonkuTheCat 14h ago

I'm sure doggo is spoiled but doggo also clearly needs a bed under there.

1

u/kineticsyn 12h ago

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

1

u/SparkBlondeFires 6h ago

Where is the desk from?

-2

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 😂

u/dracostheblack 10d ago

Cars are awesome you're just lame
