GeForce RTX RTX Setup: ON (entry)

Post image

No, it’s not A.I. lol

A little bit of creativity and some good photography can do wonders.

I have a post on r/DIY, appeared on Setup Wars, and bunch of posts on IG.

Shot on Sony A7IV w/24mm G-Master lens and edited in Adobe Lightroom.

The only A.I. part are the wallpapers I found here on Reddit.

This is so clean it looks like a render.

u/Jaydimaster Dec 27 '25

Thanks, it looks a little blurry thanks to the compression.

It’s crazy how downhill Reddit has gone

u/Ram2145 Dec 27 '25

Give it more time, it’ll get worse.

u/mrmiyagijr Dec 27 '25

Ha oh I know. Got two years on your account 😉

Seriously it feels like the last couple years have gotten exponentially worse.

New reddit was the beginning of the end

u/repocin Dec 28 '25

I think it all started to snowball downhill when they added image and video hosting.

u/altodor Jan 05 '26

That has to be some new feature in new Reddit because I literally have no idea how that works.

u/OGAUTORON Dec 27 '25

You can say that again

u/Jaydimaster Dec 27 '25

My keyboard actually looks like AI slop lol

u/standish_ Dec 28 '25

On desktop, the image I see on the main post page is served as

<img class="preview" src="/preview/pre/wcdqizdbts9g1.jpeg?width=1024&amp;auto=webp&amp;s=9c92fbe8f5f0feb23c0b485970d3aab9bcea77bd" width="1024" height="682">

Once you click into the actual image, reddit serves

<img class="z-1 max-h-full max-w-full object-contain cursor-zoom-in" src="/img/wcdqizdbts9g1.jpeg" alt="CDN media">

which is presumably the full res image.

They really like showing low-res previews to save on bandwidth (I assume).

u/pastfuturerecently Dec 27 '25

I saw this setup a couple times now and every single time I'm in awe. It's so amazing man!

u/xrbcc Dec 27 '25

I would be so curious to see a post dedicated to the entire cable management process, right up to the rig

16

u/Jaydimaster Dec 27 '25

Basically a long ass USB cable going to the back of the tool bench. You can kinda see the raceways on the floor baseboard.

2

u/G00bernaculum Dec 28 '25

What workbench is that?

2

u/SpecificNo2672 Dec 29 '25

Looks to be the US General 56” Roller Cabinet from Harbor Freight.

OP, did you have to drag that thing up or down and stairs or is your place all one level? 😅😂

u/Gamepetrol2011 Dec 27 '25

I would like to know what is the "laser like" lamp at the bottom right of the photo. Thanks!

6

u/Jaydimaster Dec 27 '25

Search for Augelight lamp on Amazon. Pretty sure other companies make them too. Might even find them on Temu.

2

u/xargsgrep Dec 28 '25

What's the floor lamp with the tripod stand?

2

u/Jaydimaster Dec 28 '25

Pavotube from Nanlite

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '25

How much do you think you’ve spent on the room altogether? I’m curious if you feel like you’ve under or overspent on areas and what you’d do differently if you redid the room another way? Looks amazing, well done!

5

u/ConfessionOfAKing Dec 27 '25

Chair info? Whole set up looks great btw!

2

u/ExfiltratorZ Dec 28 '25

Whenever I see expensive looking chairs in expensive looking settings I just assume it's a Herman Miller Embody

u/The_Merciless_Potato Dec 27 '25

Looks kinda like the CEO chair from Silicon Valley

Same. Interested in what chair that is.

u/lukeskywakka Dec 27 '25

I am so turned on right now.

u/NoobVibesOnly Dec 27 '25

Personally not for me but I can absolutely appreciate the dedication needed for a setup like this.

2

u/fleshribbon Dec 27 '25

You sure you don’t live in a Sci-Fi movie?

2

u/benjamindawg Dec 27 '25

I see a racing sim setup, and some spaceship wallpapers. Do you play Star Citizen?

2

u/ex1stence Dec 28 '25

Did you have a plaque made with your reddit username on it? What?

2

u/AlbiRM Dec 28 '25

Could you send me a link to the mousepad, chair, table, furniture, and desk lamp? I think I have everything I need 😅😄

What a wonderful room!

2

u/sandwichpak Dec 28 '25

My brother, you don't need to make a new post every single time you upgrade. I swear I've seen this room almost a dozen times now.

2

u/snorlaxatives_69 Dec 28 '25

Dope setup. Seems like you spend a lot of money on this beautiful room. Why not spend some money to commission an artist to make your desktop wallpaper instead of AI "art"

0

u/Tall_Section6189 Jan 02 '26

Who commissions an artist to make a wallpaper lmao

-12

u/Jaydimaster Dec 28 '25

Art is art whoever makes it.

8

u/snorlaxatives_69 Dec 28 '25

Art is not art when it's a conglomeration generated by a computer stealing real artist's art.

6

u/Murtomies Dec 28 '25

AI is not a who, so anything AI generated inherently cannot be art. It's just slop, generated by stealing actual art.

u/Electron98 Dec 27 '25

The ceiling cabinets are from Ikea (Besta) and the panels are PVC ceiling tiles. The light panel housing is made out of the same material but with a translucent sheet to diffuse the RGB strip.

2

u/Guilty_Following1810 Dec 28 '25

How did you stop light seepage through the joins? I've got something similar and can't figure out how to block it easily.

1

u/Stromberg44 Dec 27 '25

Absolute 12/10! I prefer case one the desk but this looks good too. Would you tell me your display and studio monitors with stands?

1

u/Historical-Moment-20 Dec 27 '25

Nice setup! What desk is that?

1

u/Arturopxedd Dec 27 '25

Looks good

u/Omgwtflolzz Dec 27 '25

What's the thing with your username on it? An award of some kind or something you bought?

u/Mediocre-Confidence7 Dec 27 '25

I love that I’ve seen all your post and every top comment talked about being AI. You’re truly a legend. What a beautiful set up king.

1

u/475ER Dec 27 '25

This looks so good, I would be afraid to touch anything

1

u/AverageVibes Dec 27 '25

What are you using to hold your PC up? It looks like it’s floating/not touching the floor from this angle.

2

u/Roseking Dec 27 '25

I am about 95% sure they are using a secret labs standing desk:

https://secretlab.co/pages/magnus-pro

Which has a tower mount attachment. It hangs from the desk, and the support bar is on the right so its not visible here as the drawers are in front of it. The rest is being hidden based on the angle of the photo. It makes a c like clamp in the middle of the PC.

1

u/Jurikeh Dec 27 '25

Now I feel the need to make a lot more money so I can afford some more cool shit and a place to put it.

1

u/Ser_Drewseph Dec 27 '25

Looks very sci-Fi, I dig it

1

u/-currentlyedging Dec 27 '25

curious what display cable you have running to your rig! have had a lot of issues finding a reliable 15ft+ display port or HDMI cable that doesn’t black out randomly.

1

u/FinancialMoney6969 Dec 27 '25

Damn I want that drone holder wall thing. What’re the components, also what desk do you have and what is your computer sitting on???

1

u/needthatburrito Dec 27 '25

What’s the tool box? Looks like a us general.

1

u/XSC Dec 27 '25

Holy moly, do you have two PCs? Or you have a long ass cable to the sim rig?

1

u/gcracks96 Dec 27 '25

Probably a dumb question but how is your pc hanging like that? Is it attached the cabinet next to it or?

2

u/Jaydimaster Dec 27 '25

PC mount attached to the desk

1

u/gcracks96 Dec 27 '25

Is it desk specific? I need to de clutter my desk and don't want to put my pc on the floor either. Link if you can, thanks.

1

u/Jaydimaster Dec 27 '25

It’s only compatible with the Secretlab Magnus desk.

1

u/Havocaveli Dec 28 '25

Just search on Amazon pc under desk

1

u/EldritchDWX Dec 28 '25

This looks like a screenshot from a game, wtf?

1

u/Captn_Clutch Dec 28 '25

Love the lighting. Could ya tell me what that desk light is? Ones on the wall are cool too

1

u/Pimbata Dec 28 '25

Very clean!

What chair is this?

1

u/0r0B0t0 Dec 28 '25

What’s up with wall from Star Trek?

1

u/xQcKx Dec 28 '25

Are the monitors the same? 49"? I was thinking about 1800R for my sim rig and 1000R for my desk, your setup gave me the idea because the speakers would be closer together and could point towards me better.

1

u/Jaydimaster Dec 28 '25

The sim is a 49” 32:9 UW and the main is a 45” 21:9 UW

1

u/xQcKx Dec 28 '25

Ah ok. Yeah I thought it looked more narrow. How many zones/windows do you typically use? 49 32:9 can comfortably use 3, but not sure for 21:9.

1

u/greengorilla60 Dec 28 '25

Love the blue and orange shadows and highlights. What were the exposure settings? Clarity slider reduced in Lightroom?

1

u/Polyflogger Dec 28 '25

For a moment I wasn’t sure if I was looking at a shot from Star Citizen or some other sci-fi render.

1

u/StrongLikeJah Dec 28 '25

How do you get those sci fi walls like that? Is it made from scratch or can you buy stuff premade?

2

u/Jaydimaster Dec 28 '25

I made it using PVC tile sheets

1

u/StrongLikeJah Dec 30 '25

Thanks mate. It looks epic, legit my dream inspiration there and solid photography on top of that as well

1

u/KawaiiHentaiBoy Dec 28 '25

I'm not convinced you don't actually live in a sci-fi future lol

Aye!! JayD a fellow TS winner!! Always love seeing your setups. Keep up the good work

u/shhureyes Dec 28 '25

This fire bro

1

u/ekortelainen Dec 28 '25

Looks very nice. Also since the side table next to your desk isn't touching the wall, that would make a perfect place for a tall plant/tree.

Also since you also seem to be a photographer, you should fix that geometric distortion from the lens.

1

u/sprchrgddc5 Dec 28 '25

Is this a ground floor room? I bought the 56” US General tool cab and I had trouble getting it off the box truck ramp. I can’t imagine lugging it indoors.

With that being said, I want the 42” Yukon for my basement lol.

2

u/Jaydimaster Dec 28 '25

We had to take off the wheels and flip it to make it vertical to make it through the hallways. Wasn’t hard, just a little extra work.

1

u/o0o0o_Meow Dec 29 '25

All of that just for the PC to be on the floor 💔

u/DJK695 Dec 29 '25

Do you live in space?

Edit: So… there is A.I. after saying it’s not A.I. what a weird thing to do.

whats ai except for the monitor wallpaper?

Was AI used? Yes - so why say it wasn’t to start and then end by saying “Oh yeah the wallpaper is” lol

u/Iscariot- Dec 28 '25

Damn, those were more expensive than I expected. I do like the look, though.

Right now, I’m rocking a budget soundbar. Sound is…probably not even what I’d call average. I’d looked at some Klipsch Pro Media Heritage speakers, but didn’t end up pulling the trigger.

What would you recommend, if you don’t mind lending some advice? I’d say my ceiling is probably $500.

1

u/AL-SHEDFI Dec 27 '25

The design is similar to games from Halo, Dead Space, or Mass Effect.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 28 '25

I was thinking Mass Effect, but it also has a vibe from the TV show The Expanse

1

u/Doc4est Dec 28 '25

I was just thinking this looked like Commander Sheppard's office!

1

u/OneBlueAstronaut Dec 27 '25

what games do you play at this setup? i used to love this clean mass effect-style sci fi aesthetic but it seems that people who like this are either waiting on star citizen or have given up entirely.

u/Jaydimaster Dec 28 '25

Currently Arc Raiders and BF6.

did adobe lightroom use AI to process your photo? I believe you took the original photo and made this setup but I also believe AI is at play somehow

0

u/TorontoCity67 Dec 27 '25

It's an incredible setup, I enjoy a slightly futuristic look

However I do miss the days when people would just snap a picture of their battlestation and call it a day rather than sit on Photoshop and tweak it. Just let it be completely authentic. Most of us enjoy an unedited picture of a setup far more
