Ha thanks Jay for the analysis and the compliments
I think one of the things that Jay didn't comment on that I have noticed and appreciate is the amount of work that goes into the color grading your content. Combing the color grading, the detailed work on your B-roll shots along with the lighting and composition of your main shots, and you definitely produce videos that have a much more cinematic feeling than is typical of tech RUclips.
Hey Dmitri Jay is right, you all deserve the compliments! And now you thanking him about it... so nice of you!
I think when it comes down to best B roll aesthetic it's you all over at HC and Badseed tech have it on hard lock. Did you take classes for this or was it all know how and tutorials. Asking because I could use color gradient help in my real life lol
I love Mike's setup. The tones and the wood makes it feel more retro imo and less "work space". D, I love the plants in the shot.
Hey Jay! Really happy to hear you liked the table riser suggestion! Was definitely surprised to see my setup here haha much love ❤

Many thanks
Where’s mr whosetheboss
So no Optimum Tech, cause that would make all of them look like children
@@teslimallimi8530 hes a phone reviewer, also he use mac. he dont play game that much, and dont stream.
Missed Hardware Unboxed and GamersNexus. I sense a Steve-phobia…
Appreciate the overview of the setup Jay, but you are looking at my old setup lol. That has been upgraded since 2 months ago
How long does it take for a setup to be seen on setup wars?
obviously lmao , your setup tour was 2 months ago
was about to comment this same thing lol like you upgraded your setup alot since that
The cable management god himself
Is the new setup cable managed or a spaghetti monster?
I love Paul's setup - it's the most "real" to me; clearly loved & lived-in.
You missed out on Optimum Tech's clean, simplistic setups and if there is someone that matches or goes beyond Hardware Canucks in the quality of the videography it is Ali. Also just started watching Tech Notice and his content is well done in visual quality.
Yeah it sucks that his setup didn’t make it. His setup is the top inspiration for my own setup
Completely agree. Ali is a big source of inspiration.
@@ToxicTheEagle Yep, I bought an NR200P and the EVGA 3060 TI and loaded it up with fans and a 240 AIO. Undervolted the GPU, bought a TKL keyboard, G305, and at one point was custom loop with a Barrow block combo. All inspiration from him.
I was going to say the same thing, that guy's presentation is always beautiful. He may not have the most impressive setup, but his small form factor PC build alongside his minimalist desk should have been noted.
@@jacobplyler3470 Cut off 5+ C through his undervolting guide and am usually under 70C for most games now, love his vids.
Linus' dslr might not be a flex. There are a few tech devices I bought and then didn't really use and then later found a totally different use for them saving me from having to buy a new device. No need to buy a webcam if you have a dslr around you don't really use much.
Agreed:
I have an old 70d and 24-105 L that I am going to use eventually, I just need the capture card.
It's nice to use older hardware like this instead of collecting dust.
I believe Linus explained the dslr in the video about his streaming setup. At the time he was updating his streaming setup they were running WAN show from home because of the pandemic and that's why he used the dslr at the time.
Kyle's using a DSLR but he didn't comment on that being a flex
Definitely check out Optimum Tech as he has some of the nicest set ups I have seen, also his level of video quality is probably on the same level as hardware knucks, I would say it's probably better
Dang, was hoping to see Optimum Tech on this. After knowing the chair he uses in that clean setup, I no longer tempted to have a gaming chair
initially thought i was more function over form in my setups until i actually put a cable channel under the desk and ran cables through it instead of have them bundled up against the wall. me randomly stretching and playing footsies with cables is thankful for it. That said i still do have cables laying across my desk, mainly to connect devices into them as needed (mainly a BT speaker, controllers for gaming and a tablet), and i dont need them anywhere else so that's their home.
I really like Edgar's set up. Besides all the cable management and planning that goes into setting all of it up, there are a lot of personality pieces. All the figurines and the dragon headset stand tells you a little bit more about the person. I love Kyle, but I feel like his set up is almost too clean. I feel like you strike the balance between having a clean set up and some personality notes really well.
Did you notice the smaller screen was upside-down?! I never thought of doing that to move the chin bar to where I could care less, to the top!
@@patrickhartweg6847 yeah, I did the same because the thicker bottom gets annoying especially when I’m constantly switching between the two screens
I about died laughing at the thought of Jay smacking his table and all his plugs falling out.
The setup from Linus is specifically to deal with the corona style WAN Show aka at home 😂😂
And he made a follow-up video on cable management
Hence the "overkill" DSLR camera since its for talking head style WAN show.
My argument for Cable managament is and always will be: The more work you put into hiding the cables, the more work you have to put into pulling them out again if you want to upgrade/maintain/change something. Which happens on a sem-regular basis for me and since I can't stand all the hassle involved with it, I just don't bother that much.
Having a rats nest isn't on the super-fast side of either
@@TKIvanov Agreed, so like with pretty much everything else, the answer lies somewhere on the middle ground :)
Super old stills for Linus’ setup. Doesn’t even have his beard yet lol
I love my new setup; thank you Jay for your two cents on your 'how to' videos & on looking at other people's setups for inspiration.
I would actually choose your setup. It looks cozy and comfy and functional.
We were planning on redoing the office at home and when your setup video(s) came out (about 1.5 years ago) I fell in love with it. The only thing that is missing for my personal taste would be a (fake) plant somewhere. Maybe hanging down from one of the shelves. But that would be it. If it was as easy to do on a PC as in real life, I would copy and paste it.
I was skimming comments and saw your suggestion of a (fake) plant hanging down from one of the shelves and imagined an upside down pot affixed to the underside of a shelf.
Need more coffee… brain not functioning properly…
@@noahzinc Haha!! Now I see it too! 😆
Jay that Linus setup is from early Covid, he was just started the beard, and he finally fix it 11 mouth ago on YT call "Its time to break up".
Dmitry's cinematography, lighting and editing is second to none, his production is nearly flawless. Dude make stunning content.
I love Paul's setups and his content around them. His vlog videos building and working on their home and setups have always been a massive inspiration for me on ideas for my own space.
Hey Jay. Since you're not using the Alex drawers for storage, why not drill passthrough holes at the back of it and put your power strip in them? This is what I've done with my own setup. Cables are managed and channelled under the table but they all lead to the drawers where they're plugged in to a power strip in one of the drawers, where all the access wires also reside. 😁
I was thinking something kinda similar, remove the drawers inside and put the sub inside, and then just put the faces back on for appearances.
@@jayjonah2762 wow that's a good idea too. Will it Change the way it sounds though? I'm no expert on that 😅
@@jayjonah2762
You might get some echoing
I really liked Sara Dietschy's setup she had in her New York studio. She gave a very detailed explanation of why she had what she had, flexible lighting, DSLR mounted far from her face to help keep her eyes from looking down even when reading from a screen. She also had lots of redundancy since she did scheduled interviews and couldn't risk losing content if something went wrong during recording.
Part 2 hopefully in the near future, Steve from GN and especially Steve HUB with his new studio deserve a mention.
For your ship models and dad's flag have you considered a making a old fashioned curio cabinet, it would work with the wood tone and give off a more mature vibe. That could easily fit in the corner where your sim pit is. Old bookshelves are perfect for it. The drawers if you needed the storage could be made from scratch too using some recovered wood. Give the room the appearence of Naval Officer's quarters. It would be different.
Call me weird but I love your home setup as is. The whole themed thing just doesn't do it for me. I appreciate your setup because it encompasses a few things you like, rather than just one thing. Focusing on one thing just gets stale too fast. I'm definitely going to do my setup similar to yours
Like others in the comments, I'm going to point Jay to Optimum Tech for his ultra clean setup and beautiful videos. Also, Steve from Hardware Unboxed just built an awesome desk in his new studio space.
Love the video so many tips! Cant wait I am starting my new room setup in Jan'22!!
I am watching this and while I am watching it I am just hoping you talk about Steve's set up from Hardware Unboxed. He built an entire building for his studio and testing facility and hand built custom desks and shelves that support his weight. It is so freaking clean and beautiful. He has custom channels for wiring and accent lighting.
Yeah, Steve took the idea that Paul had and ran with it. His setup is perfect for a one man shop as he's got plenty of room to work without having to constantly move back and forth, and it looks good too.
He built it within his garage, not a new building.
@@CyFr No, it was a new building that he put up just for that purpose.
@@nanoflower1 had to double check, you're right it's a new building/extension, I'm right it's a sort of garage/extension.
Had a car port before, now a bit of a double wide garage.
@@CyFr you're uninformed my friend. He built an entirely new garage separate from everything.
Great video Jay, this gives me so many ideas for my own setup when I get the space to actually do a complete setup.
Can't wait until linus unveils his ultimate mega clean Home theater setup in that medieval English castle he just bought and repurposed right after this video...
My favorite RUclipsr setup in all honesty for me Jay, is yours. I really like what you did with your game room and it gave me ideas for what I would like to implement in my own gaming room when i actually get the space for it.
I cannot imagine what it must be like to be bothered by cables. But from watching this I'm immensely grateful to be in that position.
It's kind of like driving a car where everything but the hood is beat to hell. You can't tell when you are driving it because you can't see it. While I manage my cables, I never see them regardless because I am standing up when I approach the desk and the desk is blocking them when I sit down. I would have to make an effort to stand on the otherside of the room and be like damn thats a mess.
I tried it without proper cable management. I always kicked them below the table, touched them with my feet and was annoyed to hell.
Also it just looks really really bad. I cannot tell you why but I absolutely hate cables dangling around. It’s the worst.
I cannot imagine what it must be like to be ok with trashy setups.
@@fredfairchild3837 Funny, you know what it's like having a trashy attitude.
@@Eunostos So does your mom.
Hey Jay, for the corner drawers you could turn them to be angled, leaving a gap in the corner... possibly enough room to hide the sub?? Also would make the drawers look accessible to those who complain lol.
I always appreciate your willingness to critique yourself and how candid you are with all of us. Thanks for the great video.
Phil would get the tingles if he saw Optimum Techs lighting and B-Roll
Kyle wins for sure. I loved watching when he was putting it all together. The issues with that PC were pure entertainment. Lol
My cable management rule: Is any cable getting in my way while working? If no = perfect!
It always buffles me how some people can obsess over any visible cable somewhere behind the desk...
Exactly!! At my desk I have two computers (Personal and server) and two laptops (Personal and work) connected to one screen through a KVM switch. Those monsters are cable magnets!!! I also inherited my desk, with minimal desire to purchase a new one, so it is not an optimal format. (i.e. Desk is designed with a right side monitor stand that only fits one monitor and a hutch that fills the full left side - I have an additional monitor that I would love to be able to use during work hours.)
I love the suttle node to Jayztwocars with the tires mixed in with the pc towers.
Very classy Jay very classy!
I just love how Jay's setup is the least weeb/most adult. Personally I love it the most out of all
Thank you God for people like Jay's dad.
Linus' DSLR is not just a flex, you forgot about WAN show where his face took up 1/2 the screen when they were virtual
Jay: Pans Linus for a cluttered setup with a view of a door behind him for streaming.
Also Jay: Records content in front of his tire storage accented with colored lighting.
More interesting than closet doors, though.
Jay's setup is industrial themed.....the tires are a nod to his second channel, Jayztwocars
As a car enthusiast, it makes sense having these tires in the background. Refers to one of his interests and also screams "workshop". A nice simple touch overall.
dimitri hair: awesome
jay hair: compressed to oblivion
Steve from Hardware Unboxed recently showed his custom desk build for his new garage setup, it was pretty unique and cool looking.
31 days of techmusss!!! hell yeah!
Nice vid. My feedback for your room would be to defo keep the things important to you over a set up that may be more in flow with the room or gaming.
this video gives me Ideas for my own Setup, thanks Jay!
14:04 Lenovo Legion laptops are officially now j2c certified tough. 🤣
The primary monitor will have the system tray on it, Jay. At 15:30 in your video, its the top one.
Didn't Linus make an entire video about cleaning up his cable management? He even went with the 915 TKL and like a G pro both lightspeed? he even drilled his desk.
Yep
jay just hates on linus for some reason
@@mrwick7961 jealous id guess
Your ship models makes me want to get back into it again. Always enjoy your videos, always informative and entertaining.
so pumped for 31 days of videos! fwiw, bell notifications work for me every time
Honestly, I'm digging some of the Asus ROG Ikea stuff. Particularly the peg board and trophy case, but if you'd use it in your already dark room I would have preferred if they had a white option or stainless steel instead of the black. Or they do have metal pegboard at Home Depot or Lowes that you can get in stainless steel which looks good, too, but I do like the ROG theming on the Ikea one.
Linus's setup was updated last December, prior to the picture used in this video, and he did a Logitech sponsored video taking care of the cable management. His clickbait title for the video was "It's time to break up." He did switch over to a wireless keyboard and mouse, as well as drilling holes through the desk to route cables underneath it as best he could.
I mean, Ikea have the pegboards in different sizes and colours, including wood tones and white (just missing the ROG logo stuff) that work with the accessories
Hey Jay, you're pretty handy with a circular saw. What about constructing a cabinet to replace the double Alex drawers in the back corner? You could even leave the floor out of it and tuck the subwoofer back into it, saving a bit more space and looking a bit classier. Cut down a sheet of plywood, or start from some 4'x4' project panels. Glue, stain, and finish, and boom, done! I built my own desk out of 1x3s and a butcherblock counter top, and I love it. Was fun to combine woodworking and tech stuff.
I really enjoyed this video... and interesting take on the reaction or study setups video. Thank you sir!
Linus has cable managed his setup since that video.
this could really need timestamps!
27:47
Alex drawers with the Uppspel desktop is a great desk setup. I just got it 2 weeks ago and absolutely love it. The Karlby tops are just not deep enough. Unfortunately the Uppspel is wider than the Alex drawers, but I put a plant beside it to hide the gap behind the wall and it looks great. It is a beautiful, functional monochrome setup that looks very modern. I couldn't be happier
Just when I thought everything is failing me, Jay uploads a set up react :)
I'm glad I found your channel Brother, about to build my first entry level PC. thank you for the great advice.
I love the Bismarck ship model in your set up Jay!
I think Jay might be the first person in the history of the internet to say "I don't like anime" and get away with it.
I really enjoyed this video. It has given me inspiration to improve my setup.
Linus's new house isn't a scratch build. He did a couple of vlogs, one where he says the office cabinetry needs to go because "it's not us", and he was upgrading the infloor heating and the thermostats from analog to smart.
Some interesting setups, love this.
I saw 27 minutes and thought this would drag on forever. I'm on minute 26 and don't want it to end. Good stuff Jay!
I remember a picture from CES or whatever, Kyle posted it, Dmitry and Brandon (LTT) were on it and the caption was (IIRC): "Dmitry Novoselov and Brandon Lee walk into a bar. The lighting is perfect." 😁😁😁
A good start is listing materials and colors. After it s done, everything is building up fast. I would keep the 2 wood tops and mix them with dark tubular metals, dark chakcoal grey and antique metal cabinets. You have fun painting and moding cases ! Do the same to your desk
Anyone have a link for the ikea things that you put in-between the top and the alex drawers? i planned on having my desk be that setup also, but didn't know/think i would need those extendor things >.> anyone have the sauce?
Good video Jay, inspired me to clean up my internal and external cable management on all my PC's 😎
Idea for next one: Reviewing small tech youtuber's setups! Eh? eh? Can submit via Twitter like the the previous entries of the setup review vids.
Hey everyone, if you’re struggling with cable management you can get 100 of the really easy and discreet Velcro cable ties for like $5 to $6 on Amazon or at lowes, Walmart, and Home Depot (as far as I know) but they are reusable and they hide your cables amazingly while being hardly noticed if they even are spotted
So many thoughts for my future setup when we move into our brand new house in a couple of weeks. Won't be able to put anything on the walls for 6 months due to potential shrinkage but excited to plan my new setup :D
Life’s good when Jay does a setup reaction video
A great video to see would be how you setup your stream when using an ultrawide monitor! i like the way your streams look and I would like to know how you set it up. Keep up the great videos!
Thanks Jay for the analysis and showing the setups. This gives me more ideas on how to do my own setup as I build it out next year. While I agree with you on the DSLRs in those use cases where it may not make sense, I will be building out a modular setup where some components will be removed for use in mobile situations as I am also a performing musician. Being able to save a bit by using a DSLR, Mevo, or GoPro camera (as well as audio interface) for both streaming "in studio" as well as during a live performance rather than buying multiple dedicated cameras for each use case makes more sense, and buying a few extra cables so I don't have to rework cable management would be less expensive and time consuming in the long run. I look forward to you critiquing my setup and system builds directly or in future videos, as I considering streaming the whole process.
Positioning one or both of the corner drawers at a 45-degree angle would provide the necessary support while making the drawers immediately accessible. You're right about the shelves. I would remove everything off the walls in the room, put them on a bed, pick the one you like the most, decide the best place for it, go back to the next one you like the most, and so on. Also, laminate flooring.
My wires under the desk were a breeze by using a simple staple gun at a slight angle to partially attach the staples to the underside of the desk in a uniform pattern about a foot apart, then I use them to attach cable the ties. If you, do it correctly in multiple rows you can make it just as nice to look at as the rest of your cable management. Another trick is for small cables like a wall mounted surround sound speaker wire just use painters' tape to cover the wire then paint the tape with your wall color. You will be amazed how close you have to look to ever see the wires.
8:10 agreee 10000% its insane quality , they are the only channel i cant do something while there video in the background
i cant even use my phone while seeing it
its eye pleasure , the nice thing is that some channels took this approach
and one of them Optimum i love his channel
Reviews people when you havn't finished building the other sets in the studio while sits behind tires. Love ya Jay !
Wow. So looked at the headline of this video and thought, huh... What a cool idea!
criticism over cable management is like so much water on a ducks back, it doesn't affect him and he ignores it.
How does one do cable management if you can't drill holes in the table?
Housemate: Dude you have anger issues
Me: No I am a Passionate gamer
Jay your setup is great. You talked about how it looks like a bunch of randomly elements have been pulled from thin air and that there is no theme but there is a theme. The theme is that everything there is important to you in some way, and that is a great way to create any pc setup
Something to note, the single Alex drawer is taller than the wide drawer by a few inches, especially if you don't use the casters. Nothing you can't overcome, but just be aware that you'll need different length standoffs for each.
As an Australian I am compelled to say I like Steve's from HUB. His studio setup is unreal. But then, yeah, Kyle kinda takes the cake.
I like "Machines and More's" simple soft setup, it fits his delivery so well. If you are not familiar, Machines and More is mostly about ITX builds.
I can't wait to see more lighting than the cyan and magenta combo. I mean your videos are of obvious quality but would love to see something different from what everyone is doing.
Kinda neat that since the pandie started the amount of tech channels that have switched to the rest of the setup is really nice. Like, we're not getting new tech, so we might as well get comfortable.
You know the Legion 7 is king when Jay himself has one.
You forgot to mentioned that Linus’s PC isn’t even in the same room as his set-up.
One of the best setups i have seen is "Mike's unboxing, reviews and how to" 🤣
I have the same speakers as Mike! I like his warm wood tone setup. My walls are light grey with white trim, my desk is made of three white Ikea Alex drawer bases and a birch countertop......had to add the warmth of wood to the space!
I find the notifications statement at the end funny. Every other youtuber was making a big deal out of also hitting the bell and now it's like "doesn't work". I never used it because I only get on youtube when I am going to watch videos. Which means I am always going to see 100% of my subscribed channels videos as soon as I possibly can. Which quite often is seconds to minutes after they come out. The RUclips alerts I get are often for videos I already watched or have already seen exist several times. RUclips could do with some work on that lol
You could put a section of "thin" brick in place of the floating shelves. Very classy and breaks up the wall.
@JayzTwoCents what soundbar are you using in your home setup?
Lol I use my old dining room table as my desk, the leg space is great.
i would love links to make these desks used in his set up, i need a much bigger desk for two people and getting one big enough prebuild is insanely expensive.
JayzTwoCents setup with gorgeous stack of tires! Lol.
27:18 Classic Jay LOL
