Since the video really should have been 10 seconds, here are the key takeaways: 1. Measure your room and get desk length that is roughly 50-75% of that number 2. Ensure desk is adequate deep. Two feet / 60cm is minimum and 32" / 80 cm is ideal 3. Invest in a good chair (Herman Miller if you can afford it), buying the best thing you can afford

[@thescientition9165]

I live in the town herman miller started in, so its pretty easy to get herman miller chairs

Even if you can adjust your monitor to be higher, monitor stands are still a better solution as when you extend your monitor, it looks unstable and even a bit ugly.

Hi, How did you support the desk? Thanks for the great video

[@13tonka13]

Does the desk have overhang at the back when using the Alex draws as legs?

[@AnissaHebner]

Does worktop express deliver outside of the UK? If not do you know of any good alternatives for those living in the US?

[@pritomsaha1100]

Hello my dear PC Centric! One question, This American walnut worktop as you said is 2m x 80cm right? or the depth is 85cm? I am afraid with Alex drawers as base (depth 58cm) 80mm depth desk is the limit right? or you can go deeper to 85cm? or it hangout too much and risk to unbalance? Because I am custom making from Worktop Express the desk starting from 2Mx960mm and I don't know how much I should cut from the depth to fit properly with the depth of the Alexes. Thanks!

[@TrustedCreator]

I like how you did this, great video and love your desk setup. I looked at a few Amazon Desks and found a great option looks similar to yours.

[@XRAYmummy]

is it still any good and stable ?

[@robsullivan7875]

PC Centric, if you could answer my question it would be a tremendous help for me. What are the stands that your speakers are sitting on?

[@Eozyna]

I love it

[@PaddyWa]

I need soundproofing in my gaming room. I might try those panels.

[@mehrshadbagherebadian2305]

Just an FYI, if the point of sound proofing ur room is to stop noises from going through walls so the sound is trapped in ur room, those panels won’t help. The only way to sound proof ur room is to install soundproof drywall using GREEN GLUE, (very important ). That is the only way.

[@GaziAlif]

So interesting

[@djcymatic]

What legs or supports did you use for the desk? And which dual monitor mount are you using??

[@ezloot4u433]

Do you have any extra legs for support? I bought an 8' section of a bowling lane & I'm just having trouble picking a size to cut it down to

[@beng1088]

I know it's been a while but what would you recommend for a budget option if I have a 3 monitor setup?

[@tetsuclaw]

That rats nest of cables under the desk is distracting from the desk itself. Cable management does take a bit of work but it is totally worth it. I recently built myself a custom hardwood desk (Acacia) and some cable runners and some cable holders and ties does a lot of wonders. Absolutely zero chance kicking a cable by accident under my desk as not even a single cable can be found under it. We got the exact same mousepad though! I did decide to add a pull out keyboard tray and said tray was custom made to be wide enough for that mousepad and is at just the right height for me. My desk is strong enough where it doesn't even buckle or bow even with over 300lbs being put on the desk. It certainly was not the cheapest desk as hardwood is expensive but since it is built like a tank it should last me a good long time.

[@ogtestdummy]

what model was the ROG Monitor you were playing on at 1:50?? Is that 1440? love the way it looks

[@stari313]

are your alex drawers the exact same depth as the counter top? i'm looking at alex drawers on ikea and they have a depth of 58cm, is that fine for a 80cm depth counter top?

[@LetMattEntertainYou]

Did you have to apply any finish to the worktop or are you just using it as it came?

[@weylandyutani6691]

Just to be clear, your desk is the just the worktop supported by two legs on one end and the Alex drawers at the other?

[@the360gaming5]

[@jimbob7424]

is your worktop 960mm version? or did you get it cut down to size to 80cm????

[@spoon665]

Dude thank you I have a problem with the montier to close to my face and I can’t find any desk longer than 30 deep thank you

[@mammuuth6802]

Nice worktop, are the edges pencils or rounded tho?

[@SuedoTTV]

Solid advice! Quick question though. How did you get the table top to fit on the Alex drawers? When looking at the dimensions and your recommendations, wouldn’t there be a lot of overhang? If the table top is 30”+ and the Alex drawers depth is only about 24”?

[@bencarter5563]

I do have a question on lighting but its more pc lighting than room lighting. So i want to use corsair ql fans in my build because they look great and im good at burning money i dont have, but i hate how corsair AIOs look.

Did you end up building this setup? I have the same concerns

[@zanzatec]

@@SuedoTTV bruhh.. Its funny u asked, im going out today to grab all the parts. It's taken me that long to decide/commit 😅 -all at IKEA. The worktop will either be the SÄLJAN or the EKBACKEN worktop (246cm x 90cm) 2 ALEX drawers (70cm x 58cm) 2 NÄRSPEL trestles (70cm x 30cm) 1 OLOV adjustable leg for the rear center (anti sag support) My work around for behind the Alex drawers will be the ikea NÄRSPEL (70cm x 30cm) installed horizontally. They are the same height as the ALEX drawers. Measurements all add up with these worktops. Alternatively u can use the OLOV legs instead behind the drawers is what I've read some have done. Can update you throughout the week as I put this headache all together lol

[@SuedoTTV]

@@zanzatec Brother! The timing on that is crazy hahaha! I would seriously appreciate it if you did keep me updated. Unfortunately the nearest Ikea is in the state below me and 3.5 hours away. So if everything does work out, I'll make the long trek down there and buy everything. I just have yet to pull the trigger on it because of how far the drive is. So you did decide to go with the bigger desk and the Alex drawers, but you're putting legs behind the Alex drawers for the overhang? Thank you for all the details as well! Names, dimensions, etc, I'm looking everything up as I'm typing this.

[@StickyGeko]

Do you think the apex draw height is too low to sit under it comfortably

[@Abstruseish]

Is there a way to also have your computer reflect what is displayed on your screen? I mean with RGB fans, ram, SSDs, CPU coolers / water blocks and lighting strips to work with it might make a really nice effect. It would make immersive gaming feel a lot better than just having some vapor wave theme 'breathing' next to the screen while the rest of the room is appropriately lighting with the game.

[@yeetwchybaban]

Ya

[@HypaOT]

There's all sorts of modes on it, you can get it to change colours when something happens in the game or reflect the monitor etc
