WOW! Loved your desktop setup... So much stuff but your organizational skills made it look minimalistic👍🏼... My wife just purchased me a Dell 38” Ultrawide monitor... I’ve been a mobile video editor I use Lumafusion not sure if you heard about it. I wanna step up my video editing looking towards FCPX or Adobe premiere. I do not have a computer and I don’t know which one to buy to run both software. If you can please help that’ll be appreciated. Thanks!
@@francisgarcia5201 hey buddy, really glad you liked it! If you're already an iOS user, probs FCPX would be the natural way to go and get a Mac. You can always use adobe premier on it as well whereas if you go with PC you wouldnt be able to use FCPX. Most likely you will only stick to one software, I only use FCPX b/c its super simple and does everything I need it to at this level (and it's only one time payment vs Adobe which is monthly fees)
Damn, for someone who has just hit 60K subscribers, you certainly have a lot better quality than most TH-cam channels - some of which have over a million subscribers. Really love your short, professional and calm intro you have as well. You simply really know how to make videos and it shows your passion for doing this as well. It's certainly a pleasure to follow you, not only as a subscriber but also on your journey on TH-cam. Keep it up Mike! :)
@Timestamp Tony Just because you have nothing of value to contribute, other than your sarcasm, you're more than welcome to take that somewhere else. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
I love that at the end of the video you stated that you didnt know anything about this stuff and had to teach yourself and we can do it too.. I work a 9-5 job for Insurance company and due to Pandemic, my department has shifted to a full time work from home environment (closing down local office permanently)... So over course of last year I have begun to transform my home office / gaming setup and plan to learn about editing and filming / streaming for supplemental hobby. Ive gained alot of inspiration from this setup thanks
I move things around constantly while trying to find the right setup. You're not alone! Also, drum throne as a footrest - also a yes for me! I even rest one foot on it sometimes while my desk is at standing height.
This is the first time I am watching your video, a big fan of desk setup. watching these for half a decade now. and guess what I got that skillshare subscription, loving it thanks a lot.....
Nailed it..new music version, voice over, desk tour finally, skill share sponsorship!!!, And still kept the fact time inside the video along with past vids and shots....a complete evolution!!!! So so proud of you!!!!
Thanks my dude!! :)) I'm glad you saw the differences..woohoo!! Just wanted you to know that I was working to improve my craft every day even though I was "resting" :)
I just watched your video a second time today. This video is one of the best videos I have seen regardless of topic or subject. Again, I cannot emphasize what a clear informative video you presented. Kudos on steroids. Ciaó.
this is actually one impressive video, I love how you organized everything and feels good to see others buying the same gear I decided to go for so feels kinda like I did a great choice, it is true, getting a desk totally inspires to get better on the layout of a setup and it is a great starting point, I would love to have an advise if possible, what would you do if the limitation you have to have a better look is the house or room itself, the house is a bit old so the walls and the floor are a bit outstanding with the rest of the setup. I mean the big 5k iMac with the nice dark wooden desk and the audio monitors and all looks pretty great but the house just makes it so contrasting since is so modern and old at the same time, I considered to renew the house but so far the investment is a bit big and hard to do so I don't know if I should go for easier solutions or just not rush and wait until renewing the walls and floor turns possible, also, on a scale of 1 to 10 how much of a deal an EGPU would stand considering my specs are readon 575 4 GB, 40 gigs of RAM and i5 8770k would that make that much of a difference? what about Bootcamp gaming, it is possible to use that EGPU in the main 5k screen or should always be external monitor, would appreciate your advice, thanks for making such n awesome video and keep up the great work. your comparison 2015- 2020 reminds me of my first steps in the tech review world. nowadays I quitted on that but I totally understand that "dads money, you're rich" gosh, good content and hard work bring that all on time.
Hey my dude! Glad this vid inspires you :) Renewing the house would seem to be a better investment, however, I would fix up one room at a time if $ is a problem. That way you could slowly build it up one step at a time. Walls+Floors in one room should be easier :) I haven't tried bootcamp gaming yet so I can't answer that question, but you can use the eGPU with your 5k iMac for sure
Damn, dude you put the competition to shame. You take your business seriously and your game to the next level. This is inspiring. I thought you had like 2 millions subs. Great job man. I’m inspired. You’re thoughtful and purposeful!! Keep up the good work!!
@@shashwatyadav6546 are you sure? I only ask cuz in the earlier shot the foot rest has legs. but when he puts it on his lap it looks like it has a cushion underneath
I just saw your channel today with this video for the first time. And it's exactly what I expect for the future with a Mac Mini and all my other stuff. Stay well and greetings from Germany.
I love how the blue light looks behind the monitor...this is one of the best desk setups for tech reviewers on TH-cam....interestingly, I have the autonomous SmartDesk 2 long version in white...
Hi Mike, This is a mind-blowing video on organizing and setting up a Jazzed-up work space. Your ideas, the details you add and the things you keep in order are fascinating. How you enjoy work in a zero-gravity chair and smell the coffee beans sometimes is very interesting to hear. Thanks for this interesting content!
Hey Jordan! Thanks my dude, I'm still learning how to make it better and get a more consistent theme like yours...it seems like my setup changes every other day xD
Questions. 1. When you drag the work of your video editing from the main monitor to your iPad was that because you used the flow technology from Logitech. That ergonomic mouse lets you do that. This is why I asked. That was pretty cool to switch that easily. 2. Your monitor and monitor arm. What is the measurement from desk to bottom of the monitor with the monitor arm raised to its highest level. Just want to get an idea of how much potential space one can get below the monitor. 3. The external GPU case and GPU. Is it a plug and play? Not very good at deep tech details. I was thinking of building a gaming PC but I want a Mac mini and like that you have this set up. This seems a better idea for me so that I don’t have to build a gaming PC as well as buy a Mac mini that I want anyway. 4. The Mac mini doc seems hard to find at the moment. Is the fan suppose to cool off the Mac mini?
Hey buddy sorry for the late reply! 1. Apple Side Car 2. 10" 3. Yes plug & play, but need USB type C 4. My mistake there's no fan in the hub, but the design helps to cool it off
Mike Wat thanks. Looks like that monitor needs a special back plate to hang it. I wanted to get that monitor but the plates are difficult to find. What is Apple side car? LOL. I’ll have to look it up.
Mike Wat thanks for your reply. I have 2 more questions. 1. There are 2 issues that a couple of people give points on. The first one is that people are having issues with a Mac mini not doing well connected to monitors. It appears to have started with Apples updated 2018 Mac mini. This was the first updated model in nearly 6yrs. Anyway even the 2020 update was just under the hood with updates to the size of storage. So it’s still technically a 2018 model. I have included 2 links. One person talks recently about why they returned theirs. They had issues with their Mac mini malfunction with monitors and they even highlighted how it was a known issue on Apple forums: th-cam.com/video/O8Apwqc1R4I/w-d-xo.html 2. This link is from a popular tech guy and he describes the Mac mini in a very balanced way. Does yours get really hot? It appears that the Mac mini runs at very dangerous temps in relation to the cpu and so on. I am so frustrated because I like MAC OS System. I wanted to move away from iMacs and use my own monitors. Now I find this just when I was about to pull the trigger for the Mac mini. th-cam.com/video/737dCFBqO4I/w-d-xo.html Your thoughts?
Broooooooo YES! Thank you for this Mac Mini idea. I've been wanting to replace my 2011 iMac with a Mac Mini, now I know that I can do this. Nice office!
Hi Mike,, i love your current desk set up. I just started building my home office desk set up and i just realized how it really takes some time to get to your dream workspace. This video inspired me a lot.. Thanks, it was awesome. BTW I also sniff coffee when I'm tired and sleepy, i can't drink coffee due to some health issues so sniffing coffee is my remedy. Lol. It works.
I am so happy I came across this video. I just completed my Mac mini desk setup, TH-cam does not have a lot of Mac mini desk setup videos. what tool did you use to paint the edges of your wall? and How do you boot into recovery mode with a third party keyboard?
Heyhey another mac mini user! :) Really glad you liked this vid! I forgot the paint tool. name, but if you describe it to someone at the store they'll know for sure, its quite common. I could connect my keyboard by wire to do that if thats what you meant xD

@@DexterMediaPlus Hey dude! sorry for the late reply. Make vids about things that are trending ie. new products and just have fun! It's was a grind to 10k, lots of hard work ahead but worth it!
maybe I know which Ikea drawer and a moveable storage rack with wheels are you having right now? can you list out the white cupboard with wheels from IKEA and the metal rack with wheels too Thanks
I actually love this style of video you really killed this! We have the exact same room shape this is amazing! I’ve been on Pinterest and I was looking for a lot of stuff, and thanks for sharing your Mac mini setup that’s so awesome, so happy for you brother !
My setup is starting to look epic too. Got my stream deck, neon lights, etc but I still need a few stuff. Maybe ill upload this type of video to do a before and after :) I def plan on getting a wide screen by 2025 cant wait to see before and after my setup :D
Im guessing the upgradability, like you can get a base mac mini and upgrade much more than you can on a macbook which would be more expensive as you have to get it from apple themselves.
Great question, mainly because I get more performance for the $$ I pay. I was thinking of the MBP 16" but it was too expensive for similar specs and the main benefit would be portability. However, I don't really need the portability because I found that when I was using my MBP 13" it was always used as desktop mode and was closed. I never edited outside, I only used it for email and stuff which I now use just my iPad so that has replaced my laptop.
Where did you rest your keyboard and mouse when were leaning behind on your chair ( 11:30 )? A setup where I'm able to sit like that while working is what I'm trying to arrange.
You are my favorite reviewer! I hope you can consider buying and reviewing the v moda crossfade 2 wireless because I'm considering buying them, but want your advice before I get them, because i trust you the most!
Haha thanks man, that means a lot! Man those headphones look sick, I was looking for some gaming ones so I'll do more research - thanks for suggesting my dude!
@@MikeWat of course, you are my favorite reviewer. I literally send your videos to a lot of my friends and I always know I can trust your opinion. I saw those headphones and really want them, but I want your opinion on them because you are the best!
Omg, Mac mini, iPad Pro 12.9 inches and EOS R are all dream setup. I’m currently only using my old mid 2014 MacBook Pro (spoilt display) with a Dell 4k monitor. The only reason I’m not getting it is because I am not satisfy with the 2020 upgrades in iPad Pro after waited for so long and I couldn’t decide between a MacBook Pro or a Mac mini.
Wow! This video is really good, all those time lapses, and smooth voice over...this video must have taken you forever man. Really good job and definitely subbed.
Very nice video! I'm all about setting things up this way as well. I was wondering, where did you get your roller blinds at? I'm thinking of getting that as well. Looks great when you had your LIFX lights on that side, too. Thanks!
This is just soooo cool , 5years to build all this wow I'm just gonna try and upgrade my setup. by the way I just subscribed after watching great content
Man this is really Awesome! Great Job, in such a small amount of time. You are my new model to follow. Just framed out my small 156 sq. ft. garage for my new studio. Thanks for sharing.
Very inspiring video! How did you make your iPad Pro a secondary montior? Can this only be done because you're using a Mac Mini? I'm planning on investing in an iPad and Ultrawide monitor soon, and because of the lack of deskspace I would really like to use the iPad as a second monitor, but I have a regular gaming PC, not a Mac Mini.
Likes for the way you upgrade ur mc mini and use it. Thanks for the links. Very useful! Btw, can u also put other upcoming graphic cards in the external gpu enclosure? Is it compatible with any other graphic cards or is it only limited to some specific graphic cards?
I've been using a similar set up but with a HP Elitebook X360 1030. Having a single device be laptop, desktop(when docked to the Razor Core X), and tablet has made me much less stressed out. Everything I need is every where I am working.

Can you please advise the details of that tube lamp? It looks very nice. Thanks!
Nice setup! Do you have the link for table lamp?
sniffing the caffeine works. something about the smell gives you a boost. cool set up
I don't vibe with everything that you do for your setup, but damn some of these things are getting me so hyped to implement!
Haha yes, every setup has different needs / preferences :) Glad some of it helped ya out!
It’s great how do you learned ....and I would like to know how to connect everything....I’m from Peru and if you can help me I’m really appreciatte

It appears that the Mac mini runs at very dangerous temps in relation to the cpu and so on. I am so frustrated because I like MAC OS System. I wanted to move away from iMacs and use my own monitors. Now I find this just when I was about to pull the trigger for the Mac mini. th-cam.com/video/737dCFBqO4I/w-d-xo.html
Your thoughts?
Broooooooo YES! Thank you for this Mac Mini idea. I've been wanting to replace my 2011 iMac with a Mac Mini, now I know that I can do this. Nice office!
Glad I could help!🤘
Hi Mike,, i love your current desk set up. I just started building my home office desk set up and i just realized how it really takes some time to get to your dream workspace. This video inspired me a lot.. Thanks, it was awesome. BTW I also sniff coffee when I'm tired and sleepy, i can't drink coffee due to some health issues so sniffing coffee is my remedy. Lol. It works.
I usually go my own route with things. But I need to copy this. This is immaculate. Well done Mike. You just convinced me to spend around $2,000.🙃
Hahaha glad it inspired you...it's an investment in yourself! :)
Hi, great video.
Where can i get the wallpaper that you are using?
I can relate to sniffing "caffeine" for a little energy boost 🙃
My man, you are awesome ;)
I am so happy I came across this video. I just completed my Mac mini desk setup, TH-cam does not have a lot of Mac mini desk setup videos. what tool did you use to paint the edges of your wall? and How do you boot into recovery mode with a third party keyboard?
Heyhey another mac mini user! :) Really glad you liked this vid!
I forgot the paint tool. name, but if you describe it to someone at the store they'll know for sure, its quite common.
I could connect my keyboard by wire to do that if thats what you meant xD

I've been watching a lot of work setup videos and this honestly might. be my favourite one yet! Just subscribed!
Thank you very much buddy, really glad you liked it! :)
@@MikeWat Heyy man, I have a question, any advice for getting from 2K to 10K subs?
@@DexterMediaPlus Hey dude! sorry for the late reply. Make vids about things that are trending ie. new products and just have fun! It's was a grind to 10k, lots of hard work ahead but worth it!
Hey Mike, could u tell me how to get the wallpaper ?
How did you make the behind-monitor LED lights TWO different shades of color? Did you use two separate LED strips?
Excellent video, Mike! And great taste too. Subscribed. Straight to the point and no faffing around. Best of luck on your yt journey.
Such a fire setup Mike. I can dig it. The space is never perfect always changing things around to see what works best 🔥🔥💯💯
Totally agree, ever evolving :)
Love the wallpaper on your screen, can you link the url?
I'd love to have that wallpaper too.. It's lovely :)
wallpaper name please? thanks

The new Mac Mini may make this even better. If the new GPU performance makes up for the incompatibility with the eGPU, of course
Could you please share the link for that wallpaper? Super neat
I miss my BlackBerry Key 2. Wish they would make a new version.
I enjoyed your video and you've got some very nice and helpful accessories but when I copy or try to utilize them they won't open
maybe I know which Ikea drawer and a moveable storage rack with wheels are you having right now?
can you list out the white cupboard with wheels from IKEA and the metal rack with wheels too Thanks
Mike, I like your desk setup, very cool. You use some cool gadgets.
Hi Mike, thanks for sharing.
Is it possible to share specifications of devices ?
Hi - great video. Love the thought you invest in all of this. Can you add a link for the little cable ties under your desk?
Glad you liked it :) here ya go! geni.us/uUz0wE
I really like how your setup is budget friendly, but looks like a million bucks! Two thumbs way up man!!!
I actually love this style of video you really killed this! We have the exact same room shape this is amazing! I’ve been on Pinterest and I was looking for a lot of stuff, and thanks for sharing your Mac mini setup that’s so awesome, so happy for you brother !
yeee mann! Really glad you like this one, it's something new I learned and a lot of work went into it xD
What color is the paint you put on the walls? Looks great with the lights and the setup
Very proud of how far you’ve come. Thanks for the tips and Kindest Regards. 🤗
Love your videos man. Really. You've helped me a lot. Just one question though. Where can I find your pc wallpaper? I just really like it. Appreciate!
iPad Pro 2018 Wallpaper
You should try a Herman Miller chair since you put so many hours in at the desk.
Haters gonna hate. I really enjoy your videos!
Thank you very much Nick!! :))
My setup is starting to look epic too. Got my stream deck, neon lights, etc but I still need a few stuff. Maybe ill upload this type of video to do a before and after :)
I def plan on getting a wide screen by 2025 cant wait to see before and after my setup :D
Bro that's going to take years my dude
A wide screen by 2025!!
I like your black walls. which kind of paint did you use plz?
Random question, what made you choose the Mac Mini for your main machine over a Macbook laptop?
Im guessing the upgradability, like you can get a base mac mini and upgrade much more than you can on a macbook which would be more expensive as you have to get it from apple themselves.
Great question, mainly because I get more performance for the $$ I pay.
I was thinking of the MBP 16" but it was too expensive for similar specs and the main benefit would be portability.
However, I don't really need the portability because I found that when I was using my MBP 13" it was always used as desktop mode and was closed. I never edited outside, I only used it for email and stuff which I now use just my iPad so that has replaced my laptop.
Where did you rest your keyboard and mouse when were leaning behind on your chair ( 11:30 )?
A setup where I'm able to sit like that while working is what I'm trying to arrange.
its a lapdesk, link in descr :)
It’s good but is the monitor adjustable because if u sit down normally u will have to look up
Thank you, Mike! This is the best video I have watched so far. Really Appreciate it.
bruh i want that wallpaper can you post the link of that too??.!!!!
You are my favorite reviewer! I hope you can consider buying and reviewing the v moda crossfade 2 wireless because I'm considering buying them, but want your advice before I get them, because i trust you the most!
Haha thanks man, that means a lot! Man those headphones look sick, I was looking for some gaming ones so I'll do more research - thanks for suggesting my dude!
@@MikeWat of course, you are my favorite reviewer. I literally send your videos to a lot of my friends and I always know I can trust your opinion. I saw those headphones and really want them, but I want your opinion on them because you are the best!
How do you connect the light bulb to the back of the monitor?? I looked all over the website and couldn’t find anything? 🤔🤔😔
used cable ties to secure the bulb on the monitor arm ;)
love the idea of how you used your chair's tilt mechanism lie back comfortably. thank you so much for the inspiration!
Hey @Mike Wat, can i have a downloadlink for the nice backround?
I love that you have a lot of stuff but still make it look really good
aw thanks :) I tried to keep it organized as best as I could!
I really enjoyed the tour, u just made my day ;)...but would you ever replace the chair for a comfort single seat couch? would it be better?
Really glad you liked the vid buddy! Don't think I'll replace it with a couch...Need to be able to switch between sit straight and just chiillin
The wallpaper here makes it all
Excellent job. How did you achieve the zero gravity with your keyboard / mouse
Amazing setup! Where did you find your computer wallpaper?
Omg, Mac mini, iPad Pro 12.9 inches and EOS R are all dream setup. I’m currently only using my old mid 2014 MacBook Pro (spoilt display) with a Dell 4k monitor. The only reason I’m not getting it is because I am not satisfy with the 2020 upgrades in iPad Pro after waited for so long and I couldn’t decide between a MacBook Pro or a Mac mini.
Yea I was going to get the 16" MBP, but the mini was so much more affordable and the setup I have makes it a bit more powerful than the MBP xD
Wow! This video is really good, all those time lapses, and smooth voice over...this video must have taken you forever man. Really good job and definitely subbed.
Great video man! Love the phone to the side trick 👌🏾 might need to make some changes to my desk setup
Really glad you found the tips useful Noah! :)
How is this setup for gaming? Does it work well?
I seriously love this type of content ♥️
Not sure if i'd exactly consider the setup "minimal" but a solid one nevertheless. A powerhouse of a laptop setup is always wonderful!
Definitely could work on the minimizing aspect xD
one day in the far future I will be able to afford this type of setup! I hope :)
Great setup! Quick question, I have the same monitor and I was wondering how you put a mount on it since it's not VESA compatible.
I don't have the monitor but you can probably purchase a VESA adapter.
Hey Karl! I got the VESA adapter from BenQ - thankfully that had it back in stock!
Clean set up. I think it's funny how all these home office setups all have the obligatory green plant.
Awesome video!
So stylish and functional!
You should have hundreds of thousands more subsribers soon!
Very nice video! I'm all about setting things up this way as well. I was wondering, where did you get your roller blinds at? I'm thinking of getting that as well. Looks great when you had your LIFX lights on that side, too. Thanks!
Hey bud, I got them from IKEA, the blackout roll curtains
This is just soooo cool , 5years to build all this wow I'm just gonna try and upgrade my setup. by the way I just subscribed after watching great content
Really glad you liked this one buddy! :)
Man this is really Awesome! Great Job, in such a small amount of time. You are my new model to follow. Just framed out my small 156 sq. ft. garage for my new studio. Thanks for sharing.
Really glad the vid gave you some inspiration my dude!
Very inspiring video! How did you make your iPad Pro a secondary montior? Can this only be done because you're using a Mac Mini? I'm planning on investing in an iPad and Ultrawide monitor soon, and because of the lack of deskspace I would really like to use the iPad as a second monitor, but I have a regular gaming PC, not a Mac Mini.
Hi! What camera are you using in filming this video? Looks awesome! Subscribed man. :)
Hey Mike, Your reviews are fantastic. Can you please review the Pixel Buds 2. I am unsure which one to buy between the Galaxy Buds and the pixel.
Likes for the way you upgrade ur mc mini and use it. Thanks for the links. Very useful! Btw, can u also put other upcoming graphic cards in the external gpu enclosure? Is it compatible with any other graphic cards or is it only limited to some specific graphic cards?
compatible with a variety of graphics card, depends on the system you're connecting it to though ;)
@@MikeWat thank you for the reply :)
That little light where did you get it from... Clean set up
hey bud I got it here: geni.us/it5u
Cool setup.. can you let know which is digital table clock you use in setup? Thanks In advance
Its the Echo Show 5 :)
I've been using a similar set up but with a HP Elitebook X360 1030. Having a single device be laptop, desktop(when docked to the Razor Core X), and tablet has made me much less stressed out. Everything I need is every where I am working.
Hey bro! Where can I get those wallpaper? Super cool!
Growth is key to success!
This is the best gaming setup I'd seen
Iam from Brazil and a I will try to make a setup just like yours. Thanks for sharing
Awesome, glad it inspired you! :)
this is so satisfying to watch. every little thing just adds up. im subscribing right now!
Glad you enjoyed the vid, thanks for the support! :)
