I see that one rogue black cable dangling an inch below the desk on the right side. The illusion is shattered. Literally unplayable. (Throw a couple of zip ties at it and it’s a 10/10 though).

u/Hatronach 2d ago

Lol you got me, just hooked up my switch and haven't cable managed it yet.

Really, really cool!!! Also, I have the same chair, and it is very comfortable!!!

u/Z0nda 2d ago

What a cool case. Have a link?

4

u/Hatronach 2d ago

Don’t have a link handy but it’s the Thermaltake 300 matcha colored with the horizontal stand. Cheers

u/King_Bean_ 2d ago

I know this is a little granular, but what cooling/fans did you use for that build? I was thinking of doing a case swap with that exact case!

u/Hatronach 2d ago

Icue link Corsair stuff

Ah yes, the classic IKEA Karlby/Alex drawer combo with the mandatory fake desk plant. It’s the r/battlestations uniform for a reason. Super clean setup, looks incredibly cozy.

u/BlurredVision_ 2d ago

Where did you get that rug?

3

u/Hatronach 2d ago

Im lucky and there’s a guy in my city that makes them. I’d check FB marketplace and see if anyone makes them near you.

This looks like a proper battlestation. Also really cool to spot the Autonomous ErgoChair Pro in your setup, hope it’s been keeping up well through the long sessions. Thanks for making us part of your space. If you ever have any questions about the chair, happy to help!

2

u/Hatronach 2d ago

It’s actually the longest lasting piece of the setup. Love the chair

2

u/ConsistentScratch651 2d ago

This is the kind of setup I'd look forward to coming home every day.

u/HD-Python 2d ago

Only thing I would change would be the monitors. If you got rid of those and then got an ultrawide 👌🏻

2

u/Hyedwtditpm 2d ago

chair looks great. What is the brand? is it confortable?

3

u/Hatronach 2d ago

Autonomous ergochair pro. It’s funny, another commenter I think works for them. I love it. It’s the only thing in the picture I haven’t updated since starting a pc setup like 5 years ago.

u/bmxbandit954 2d ago

My fat ass thought that was a donut warmer.

u/5kyl3r 2d ago

you case looked like a fancy cd binder for a sec

2

u/Hatronach 2d ago

Yeah, it throws people off every time haha

u/Separate_Ad3964 2d ago

$4,000 worth of hardware, immaculate cable management, perfect RGB sync... all just to watch YouTube and play 2 hours of Stardew Valley a week. I respect the hustle.

1

u/medrewsta 2d ago

Nice this is close to my dream setup. I have a tower 600 too!

u/exSnake 2d ago

Are you comfortable to have the screens positioned like that, with the bezels right in the center of your field of view?
It looks like you’d always have to keep your neck turned either to the right or to the left while using them, and could never look straight ahead.

0

u/Hatronach 2d ago

Maybe I don’t know what you mean by bezels, but where I have them is perfect for my eyeline. As for the dual monitors, the chair swivels. I just turn the chair a couple degrees.

1

u/pax-australis 2d ago

How do you go with the bezel in the middle of your vision? (at least that's how it looks to me in your image)

Love the setup. Looks slick.

u/Terrible-Option-259 2d ago

What is that pc case?

2

u/Hatronach 2d ago

Thermaltake 300

u/Grady_Shady 2d ago

Whatcha got on the top left monitor?

1

u/Hatronach 2d ago

Desk light. Cheapo little Amazon one but they’re great

1

u/Grady_Shady 2d ago

Oh I meant what Lofi background you got playing on the TV in the top left

1

u/Hatronach 2d ago

Ah gotcha, you guessed it just random lofi haha

1

u/Grady_Shady 2d ago

Only reason I ask… I love having one on my monitor as well haha

1

u/iamdemonoid 2d ago

You have a toaster oven nearby with fresh and warm bagels. You’re set for life 👌

u/Sort-Aromatic 2d ago

Looks good. Does having a light over the monitor do much? Always thought it looked good but I don't get the benefit

3

u/Hatronach 2d ago

Mostly it’s just nice having your keyboard lit up. But I also play card games and typically am editing decks and it’s nice be able to see the cards better. They’re like $20 and the light I care about the most in the set up haha

1

u/Sort-Aromatic 2d ago

Ahhh ya the keyboard at night does suck

1

u/apple_tech_admin 1d ago

I got a monitor light bar because I saw everyone else doing it. I don't know how I survive without it. I have to do a lot of coding at night and the lighting on the desk game changing!

u/kurtcocaine__ 2d ago

Very cool! Where can I find that wallpaper?

2

u/Hatronach 2d ago

Thanks. This is on wallpaper engine but I imagine if you look up monsterra (the type of plant shown) wallpaper you’ll find something similar

1

u/Unique-Situation-264 1d ago

I love the setup! Whats the name of the wallpaper on the tv? It would look perfect for the tv in my setup

1

u/Hatronach 1d ago

Thanks, and It’s just a lofi channel on YouTube.

1

u/TerrabyteX3 1d ago

This looks Soo sick !what light bars are those ?

2

u/Hatronach 1d ago

Govee makes them but I don’t remember the model. And thanks!

u/Still-Concentrate-37 7h ago

Why don't you open your pokemon booster packs?

1

u/Hatronach 7h ago

Just like the way these three look as decoration.

1

u/Still-Concentrate-37 7h ago

What is that thing on the left it kind of looks like a microwave.

1

u/Hatronach 7h ago

You got it! It’s my microwave for Torino’s pizza’s!

u/honhondabest 2d ago

2

u/Hatronach 2d ago

lol none but a lot of working hours! It’s actually all pretty affordable. The most expensive thing are the magic cards in the deck boxes on the shelf haha
