Anyone else use cardboard underneath their monitor stand? 🙋♂ (If you liked this video and want to thank me, you can pick up my £3 wallpaper pack here: www.danieltitchener.com/turbulent )
I was worried about damaging the worktop with monitor mount clamp. My friends used cardboard too but I found you can buy monitor mount reinforcement plate on eBay for £13. Also you should replace the pads on the Bose headphones for around £5 on eBay easy fix.
That really nice, but I would recommend to cut the cardboard, or maybe a piece of cloth, to the same size of the stand, that’s only a suggestion, if you don’t really mind it is still a wonderful desk setup
I love desk setup videos and have seen literally hundreds. Your setup is by the far the most aesthetically pleasing I've seen! It must be the architect touch! Well done, I'm following your channel now.
Among all the setups across the internet, this is the one I've found the most cleverly designed one. Mounting the PC underneath the desk is a genius solution that everyone should consider. I've done something similiar by mounting my PC components on a shelf under my table without an outer case, which provides both good discretion and airflow. Thanks to this video, I feel less like a weirdo about this now.
@@DanielTitchener As someone who follows both of you, this would be sweet. Daniel, you're absolutely killing it with the redesigns and other content on the channel. Wishing you and your fam the best as you settle into Vancouver. God bless 👍
Welcome to Vancouver !! It’s an amazing city! I’m studying interior design and your videos have really driven me to really get into rendering. Thank you for your amazing helpful videos!
I recommend you look for those steel monitor mount reinforcement plates. It's a pair of metal plates and sandwich the desk under the monitor stand. It's more reliable and great for heavier monitors.
Good job on getting a ton of companies to sponsor a sweet set up. Could have been a bit more subtle than the press release read out for the desk though lol
I have a similar set up. I really like the vibe and de-logoing the mouse was a nice touch. I don't like mats, light bars (cause I only use my comp in daylight), or desk trays but apart from that here are some suggestions to clean things up: - cut cardboard or grab a metal plate to replace it. - Align power stripe with cable raceway. - get a drawer instead of having the desk stand, gives you way more space, keeps it clean looking and avoids need for a pencil tray. - I'd recommend turning the computer sideways to avoid hitting it with a knee and gives a slimmer look. - mount the computer charger under the tabletop and add black (Velcro like) command strips that are made from plastic. They remove clean and don't pitch up dirt like Velcro but will avoid needing to put your charger on the tabletop. If you need IO on the table then grab a mini io c clamp from AliExpress.
For the cardboard, you can cut the squared edges to round it up a little and maybe paint it black too just to make it more aesthetically pleasing. I'm sure it bugs you a little everytime you're on the desk😂. A cool, sleek setup otherwise. I love it.
Congrats on the move to Vancouver! I moved to Burnaby myself last September with my wife and enjoying it so far! Love to know there's creators in Vancouver - open to chatting!
Thank you so much for making the video. your Monitor is the best possible solution to many of us out there. without this video I would not know there was such a thing !
ahh you're brilliant, Daniel. This is a majorly 'Baus' setup. Love all the well thought out vids - well done. Also, Welcome to Canada! - fellow architect from Toronto.
Thank you for all the ideas! There are at least 3 solutions here that I will be trying to implement myself (love the pen drawer). I unfortunately have multiple computers I need to work with on the same desk, which has presented it's own peripheral related integration problems, but much of what you've presented will definitely assist in wrangling my multi-machine setup.
Regarding peripheral issues, I use multiple computers all the time and as a suggestion, you can try the Logitech K780 keyboard and M720 mouse which have buttons for quick switching between 3 computers. You can connect them using Bluetooth or their dongles. I don't have a solution for sound and cameras yet though.
@@anthonyafuwape864 I use that line of products, actually! After searching from time to, I was pleasantly surprised to see Logitech made a quick-switching solution. It works very well.
I been wanting to buy a gaming pc for my house but I been holding off for how flashy and massive they can be. Seeing your video has inspired me to thinking about get one soon especially with your minimal layout. Great video!
Nice setup. I love the attention to detail. The matte screen and cardboard strip would drive me up the wall. But since I do woodworking, I wouldn't worry too much about the desk finish. I assume they finished it well.
I'm not sure if my previous comment was posted or not ( i don't see it). Where can I find the Magnetic Stand for the Webcam? I've had that dilemma between the lightbar and the webcam for quite a while... And I guess you just showed me the way😀
You don't have it in your list, although you mentioned a power strip in your video. We can see it trailing to the wall socket - I hope it's a surge suppressor model. You have some nice hardware I wouldn't want to leave to chance with Canada's dirty electricity. Love the cable management; other than the raceways, you should have shown some B-roll on the underside of the desk.🤩🤤🤔
The setup is super clean! those mini desk trays are a new thing on my list now. The audio had a bit of echo in, maybe look into getting a sound blanket to set up for your videos as the cinematography is always super clinical.
Clean setup and a big fan of the ITX form factor! I'm definitely going to check out that under desk mount. Can you share more on why you chose to orient your desk against that wall, and what the rest of the room looks like? (i.e. behind you when at the desk)
So many thoughtful decisions went into this, and it all came together beautifully. It's hard to believe you've managed to hide all of those cables. Also, I didn't realize how bougie a piece of cardboard could be.
watch out for the orientation of the aio watercooler when you hand the pc like that, certain orientations will cause big problems over time and lower performance immediately.
Tip 1: using a standing desk is much more pleasant with a standing desk mat Tip 2: spraying the monitor arm white (or buying a white one if available) would make the monitor look like it's floating in mid air Tip 3: some plants would be nice🌱🌴
Hi Daniel, really enjoyed this video and how there was a reasoning behind every item you chose to be a part of your setup! I would love to see how you organize your PC files and keep your digital life decluttered in a future video ;)
I have the same monitor so I can sit back and watch movies but if you have a TV for that, I'd recommend the 27" version, which you don't have to push back as far before the pixels disappear. Also building a clean desk setup 👌
I would prefer walnut color for any wooden furniture in my home setup. But usually we don't get what we actually want 😞 That strap hanger is a dope idea. Never thought of such idea. Using strap means it's versatile.
Now this is my kind of setup! From one compulsive minimalist to another. . . You can safely straighten out that surge protector cable with a heat gun or blow dryer. The cable kinks drive me crazy after a while so I usually do that for my permanently visible cables.
I love everything about this setup except for the card board under the monitor stand. You can find reinforcement steel plate designed for this. It comes in black, white and different sizes. 👍
I love the use of LED light strips. However I can’t help but think a more ergonomic stool from Herman Miller or Steelcase would be better in the long run. I doubt that chair from IKEA will last.
I've had this chair for around 5 years with extensive use. It will last just fine, especially in a dark color. Although I personally don't think it's very comfortable.
I learned to not by cheap desk chairs. They are cheap for a reason. I had to learn that lesson several times. I've had an Aeron chair for 10+ years and I use it daily. It has more than paid for itself in durability and doesn't look its age.
Great execution! Happy to learn about these side outlets, and never would have thought about suspending the tower. Only thing I am worried about it heat dissipation into the wood. Have you thought of that? Also, the light bar, does it have any use, really?

NOPE. I've added silicone stops to mine, would recommend
Hey I live in canada too!!
That really nice, but I would recommend to cut the cardboard, or maybe a piece of cloth, to the same size of the stand, that’s only a suggestion, if you don’t really mind it is still a wonderful desk setup
Felt would be nice I think
Yes, it would be a Greta detail but since he used cardboard I tought that he doesn't want tò spend Money on it
I think its fine, because its hidden by the shelf
The deliberate flaw.
That is very deep.
Hahaha
Maybe silicone so it's non-slip?
The most minimalist setup of them all, absolutely love it Daniel!
This is the most ideal and pleasant cable management I ever seen.
Minimal and elegant.

Welcome to Vancouver !! It’s an amazing city! I’m studying interior design and your videos have really driven me to really get into rendering. Thank you for your amazing helpful videos!
Usually go to tech wars to look at gnarly setups, this one though takes the cake for minimalism!

Great setup. That power strip was a good solve. Curious, with the casters on the desk, how wobbly is it?
Thanks Matt! Haven't tested them properly on hard floors yet but on the rug it's rock solid

Love this aesthetic Daniel! Incredible work and brilliant video! 🙌
im physically hurt by the cardboard haha. another excellent video, looking forward to more redesigns!

I love the new setup! Your videos are always so pleasing to watch.
Ugreen!! Saw it in a Techmoan video this week. Have been a fan for years
I highly suggest changing your case to the ssupd meshlichious, so you can fit a more powerful radiator to get better performance from your cpu

8:39 - SAME EXACT WALLPAPER!!!! I use it across all my devices. Althrough rn I'vs switched to a Ford GT40 that I aim to build one day
I been wanting to buy a gaming pc for my house but I been holding off for how flashy and massive they can be. Seeing your video has inspired me to thinking about get one soon especially with your minimal layout. Great video!
Hello, Daniel! Thanks for sharing this amazing setup with us!
Cheers from Brazil!
Nice setup. I love the attention to detail. The matte screen and cardboard strip would drive me up the wall. But since I do woodworking, I wouldn't worry too much about the desk finish. I assume they finished it well.
this set up is so cool and well-thought! love it!
Absolutely love this, the colors, lights, pc under desk. Well done! ✨
I was literally waiting for this video. You nailed it. Kudos.
Daniel I'm sold. Now just using my dining room table for a desk. But great ideas for cable management throughout my home!
I would replace the cardboard piece with a piece of cut leather. Great video, many ideas I can use. Thank you Daniel!
Really pleasing and minimal... Very nice... gonna save this for inspiration to my future setup.
WOW! This setup is amazing. 🔥 I love how intentional and multi-purpose everything is.
Have you heard of DIY Perks? You'd be delighted. It might actually make you reconsider this setup if you were after the clean setup.
It looks like the exact same room as Optimum's.
Clean setup !
Daniel does the magnetic adapter for the webcam come with the light bar? If not, where did you get it?
I'm not sure if my previous comment was posted or not ( i don't see it). Where can I find the Magnetic Stand for the Webcam? I've had that dilemma between the lightbar and the webcam for quite a while... And I guess you just showed me the way😀
At 3:27 somehow I feel that sound effect on my throat when it plays, I'm spooked
This is so beautiful!!!

In everyday workflow are you also able to keep your desk clutterfree? I love the minimalistic designs too but I tend to struggle with that.
Constructing my uni setup right now. Moving in tomorrow. Wish me luck!
Killer setup! Really like the idea of the giant “coaster” 😄
The setup is super clean! those mini desk trays are a new thing on my list now.
The audio had a bit of echo in, maybe look into getting a sound blanket to set up for your videos as the cinematography is always super clinical.
Love it! Great video Daniel! :)
I absolutely love it!!! You have such an amazing eye for design. Great job and thanks for sharing
That is an excellent system to hide the cords! Thanks for sharing
Спасибо!

finally a real useful no-cable and minimal desk setup guide
So many thoughtful decisions went into this, and it all came together beautifully. It's hard to believe you've managed to hide all of those cables.
Also, I didn't realize how bougie a piece of cardboard could be.
clean setup , clean room , clean and fresh haircut 💙🙌Big W
I'd recommend WALI Steel Reinforcement Bracket for Thin, Glass, and Other Fragile Table Tops
To replace that cardboard.
if there's anything I love more is the phrase " This Chair I won't attempt to pronounce...... 🤣🤣"
Nab a set of felt drinks coasters (on Amz) to replace the cardboard wedges on the monitor arm. Worked a treat on my setup and you can cut to fit :)
watch out for the orientation of the aio watercooler when you hand the pc like that, certain orientations will cause big problems over time and lower performance immediately.
Upgraded rollers looking awesome
Love this setup! This really inspired me to do better with mine. Thanks!
I love the clean and well though-out desk setup!! 👊🏾 I might have to mount my PC too 🤔 It increases your aim by 30%, right? 😂
this setup really sparks joy.. nice one!
Minimalist yes, but also missing a speaker set. Great tips btw 👍 This comes on par with the desk setup king David Zhang 😁
Tip 1: using a standing desk is much more pleasant with a standing desk mat
Tip 2: spraying the monitor arm white (or buying a white one if available) would make the monitor look like it's floating in mid air
Tip 3: some plants would be nice🌱🌴
Hi Daniel, really enjoyed this video and how there was a reasoning behind every item you chose to be a part of your setup! I would love to see how you organize your PC files and keep your digital life decluttered in a future video ;)
Hello, may i know the magnetic adapter mount you used for the webcam?
This is insanely well thought through setup! Will definitely be saving this video. Thank you!
I have the same monitor so I can sit back and watch movies but if you have a TV for that, I'd recommend the 27" version, which you don't have to push back as far before the pixels disappear. Also building a clean desk setup 👌
Really great job! This looks sick
I really like the size of your pc and will love to see how you built it or the materials used in the process
Great work! Very well executed
Love your setup and the minimalist look
Can you tell me what kind of carpet/rug is under your desk?I really like it.
Hey Daniel!
May I ask where did you get from the rug underneath your desk? It looks great! Thanks!
I would prefer walnut color for any wooden furniture in my home setup. But usually we don't get what we actually want 😞
That strap hanger is a dope idea. Never thought of such idea. Using strap means it's versatile.
I hope you get a soft mug coaster or something more aesthetic than that cardboard :P but love the new setup :)
Stupid question, but how do you turn the PC on if it's tucked away like that?
Absolutely gorgeous setup, and that mechanical keyboard is soo clean, that's been something I want for my gaming setup!
Clean and ergonomic! 👌🏻
I like your idea, and I also like the simplicity!
Now this is my kind of setup! From one compulsive minimalist to another. . . You can safely straighten out that surge protector cable with a heat gun or blow dryer. The cable kinks drive me crazy after a while so I usually do that for my permanently visible cables.
Such a simple and clean setup. Will definitely look at this as inspiration for my future setup!
This is the first time ever where I have seen that an ITX case makes sense.
Perfect desk setup & content 👌 🙂
love the cable management system! truly well designed
Love this setup Daniel! 💙
Dream Setup. I love it.
I love everything about this setup except for the card board under the monitor stand. You can find reinforcement steel plate designed for this. It comes in black, white and different sizes. 👍
he he, i used same under-desk mount, for my cooler master nr200p. works very well.
Rewatching again this morning as a peaceful meditation 🧘♂️
Lol massage me…
Watching a whole bunch of YT desk setup videos and I noticed they all had this nice, soft focus look in all of them. How do I mimic this video look?
Very practical and aesthetically pleasing
Love this Daniel! Where are those side printed keycaps from? They don't seem to be default for this keyboard. Cheers!
I love the use of LED light strips. However I can’t help but think a more ergonomic stool from Herman Miller or Steelcase would be better in the long run. I doubt that chair from IKEA will last.
One thing IKEA has always done well is chairs. This one is no exception.
I've had this chair for around 5 years with extensive use. It will last just fine, especially in a dark color. Although I personally don't think it's very comfortable.
Excellent video. Thanks for posting.
This is just the best piece on minimalist office content i've ever seen. This is minimalism porn
Beautiful! I wish this world was truly wireless - NO wires or power cords at all!
