He Built a ROOF on his DESK? Setup Reacts Clip
Witness a truly unique 'function-over-form' battle station featuring a built-in desk roof for maximum storage. Is this productivity genius or maximalist madness?
Key Takeaways

- Creative solutions are used for tool access, including a drill hanging from the monitor stand and various screwdrivers and tape readily available.

To the next setup. All right, so this one’s interesting because. Yeah, I didn’t really know whether to include this or not. Funnily enough, I actually do think that this is actual maximalism. It’s still more function over form.
I mean, the guy built a ceiling on his desk, essentially. It seems like. Yeah, it seems like there’s a roof. He built a roof on his desk just so he could store more what looks like electronics. But yeah, I mean, this, to me, kind of does scream maxim maximalism in the sense that it’s just a lot of stuff and it is kind of laid out in a.
In a way you can tell that you actually, you know, cares about organization a little bit. A little bit. Just the way things have actually been laid out is pretty smart. So here you see his free monitors. I think that.
Is that two macro, two number pads, which I think I read that he uses as.2 number pads, which he uses as Macropads. Yeah. Pretty nice keyboard here. I’m not sure what it is. Got stream deck.
You have a bunch of tools. What’s this? It’s just like a screwdriver that can click back around. I don’t know what they’re called here. You have some bits.
I mean, you have tape. Have a bunch of tape. You know, someone series when they have tape. Easily accessible. Is that.
Is that duct tape or. Yeah, that means that they’re just. They’re constantly just. Just chopping things up. It’s just, hey, man, I need a tape.
I need it here at all times. That is important to me. It seems that. I think this is a power bar or just a. Yeah, power bar. Maybe mixed with a light here at the back.
Is that switch. That’s a network switch over here. Yeah, there’s a. There’s a lot going on here. Okay.
Yeah. So there’s a power bar, no light. I’m not sure where the light is coming from. I mean, it’s a gamepad mounted underneath the roof of his desk. Very strange.
Very interesting position for the microphone here. Is that just like a. Screwed in. It’s like an upside down, like, podium microphone stand. I mean, smart. It works.
It’s kind of like having a shotgun mic, right? It’s a sort of pointing directly at you from above. Ah, yeah. There is a light here. There’s a light pointing at the power bar.
I guess it’s bouncing light sort of off the back there. Again, cable management is. I mean, with a setup like this, I. I get it. It’s probably just disconnecting and reconnecting Stuff. It doesn’t make sense to manage cables if you’re just constantly disconnecting.
And there isn’t. To be fair to him, there isn’t like a. Like a knot of cables like when I pointed out before. However, just some management. Please, man.
Just, just one, one or two clips. Just to sort of guide things around to make everyone feel better. Please. Oh, all right. Stand a little bit corrected on the cable management.
This is. This is bad. But I mean, what you got here is this monitor stands and a drill. Is a drill just hanging there on the side. I don’t know, that seems a bit dodgy.
I don’t know what this is attached to. Hey, at least the whole thing here seems to be attached to the wall. I mean, does it need to be? If it has a roof and four posts, you know, a four post desk. Is it another drill or is that like an air duster?
This guy’s a madman. And actually quite nice. This is what I mean. Like the work area seems organized and he keeps that clear. It’s just everything around it is chaos, which, I don’t know, it’s actually kind of cool to see.
It’s like, whoa, look at this. Ah, the work area is tidy at least. You know, it kind of makes a bit sense. Two mice is just. I mean, maybe you’ve got two computers, one for gaming.
What this both look like? I’m not very familiar with gaming mice, but these both look like Logitech gaming mice to me. Pretty nice keyboard here. I think that that’s a keychron. I think it’s a keychron keyboard.
Not sure. Evangelion themed keycaps. And he’s even got a cable to match. That’s pretty nice, actually. I like that.
Yeah, man. This whole. This, this is actually a nice little work area. It’s just. The rest is chaos.
Alright, Perfect.
