[@andresvidoza]

Thats a niiiiice room setup fr!

[@BeardedLuke]

YOOOOOO I appreciate that coming from the LEGEND of setups. You inspired a lot of this setup. Thank you for watching. Means the world!! You just made my whole week bro.

[@pavitramallick]

the videography and the b roles are just>>>>

[@PatrickRambles]

Keep at it, bro. This can be a big channel fast.

[@BeardedLuke]

Yo that means a lot coming from you!!! I will!!

[@Im_ricky3886]

I love the format you used to film this video, in the video you act as if you actually talking to us in person 👍

[@BeardedLuke]

Heck yes! Well my goal is to talk to whoever is on the other side of the screen so happy you loved it!

[@Gamin4Hope]

One day, when my setup ISN'T in my bedroom, this is GOALS. 👏🏻

[@BeardedLuke]

One day my beautiful friend. Thanks for watching bro!

[@JB_Romulus]

Nice work my dude, I too watch Andres. Good video production too.

[@BeardedLuke]

His stuff is awesome! Thanks!!

[@TechTweek]

Great video mate, I wish you all the very best 😌✨

[@BeardedLuke]

I really really appreciate it!!

[@oliverbillig9401]

Great video surprised you only had 500 subs, gained another

[@BeardedLuke]

Thank you!! Welcome!!!

[@chevylawless5469]

Ayyye 🔥. I have that tool box as well. Use to clean / dismantle my firearms as well as some storage (extra mags, EDC etc). Glad to see im not the only one with a whole toolbox in a bedroom 😂. Dope setup brother.

[@BeardedLuke]

Thanks bro. Love that you use it too! Bro it was a nightmare getting up the steps. HAHHAA

[@chevylawless5469]

@@BeardedLuke mann tell me about it lol 🤦🏽‍♂️.

[@GreyGamingGG]

This was actually super inspiring dude. Gotta clean up my mess of an office!

[@BeardedLuke]

Haha thanks grey I love you

[@luischavezphoto]

Man I wish my office was this clean! 😮‍💨

[@BeardedLuke]

Thanks bro! Haha I try my best

[@Price448]

This is like watching the best documentary I’ve ever seen

[@BeardedLuke]

THANK PRICE! I’m actually glad you caught some doc vibes.

[@SneakersAndHandbags]

Great setup. You are the first person I've seen talk about the Steelcase chair. Everyone else talks about the Herman Miller chair but Steelcase makes some of the best products.

[@BeardedLuke]

Thanks! I love Steelcase. Tried the Herman Miller embody and hated it. Have two Steelcase chairs and love them

[@SneakersAndHandbags]

@@BeardedLuke I used to work at a Steelcase Dealer and sat in the Leap V1 chair for years then the Series 1 chair for the last few years I was there. I now have a Series 1 chair for my work-from-home setup and looking to buy another one for my sneaker room.

[@BeardedLuke]

That’s legit! Glad you love ‘em. That new one o can’t remember the name but it’s real sleak looking.

[@ALCProductions]

Best setup on youtube

[@Bivs_setup]

Awesome office and desk set-up with great ideas. Thanks for sharing.👍🏼 Looking forward to the sneaker 👟 room vid.

[@BeardedLuke]

Thanks Angelo! I have too many sneakers, so looking forward to sharing them with yall!

[@visionarywatts]

The prep station!🔥

[@BeardedLuke]

Thanks bro. It’s honestly so clutch. I wish I woulda done this years ago

[@pathombook]

Thb one of the best setup i've ever seen so far.

[@BeardedLuke]

You made my who week with this comment. Thanks !!!

[@JAK-rb6jc]

your aesthetic is awesome (and you play d2). I am absolutely shocked that you only have 300 subscribers and this video has 200 views, you are on to something for sure. if you keep up this quality of videos, 100k is in the near future

[@BeardedLuke]

I really appreciate it! Means a lot! Going to keep making this stuff. We will see what happens.

[@TinyMaths]

Dude, as your video finished up I scrolled down to see how many subs you've got. I almost fell off my chair; mindblown! I expected your sub numbers to be in the five figures. So professionally made, and I easily sat through the vid and found it inspiring. I had to sub to add my support. Great content.

[@noblecomments4009]

Nice setup man! Great quality, let’s run some raids on D2 someday 😂

[@BeardedLuke]

WOULD LOVE THAT!

[@jcjuy]

honestly, what im most interested to know now is how the hell we're you able to have all of those things? crazy techs, cameras, gears, and sneakers?! are you a youtuber, streamer, photographer? what's your secret sauce bro help a brother out on how to have that kind of life lmao

[@BeardedLuke]

Haha good question. I’ve actually owned two production companies for the past ten years. Been grinding out weddings, corporate gigs and more. This is line 10 years of work built into one room haha. So I guess I got all of this from tons of hard work and discipline

[@fan1.0]

There are so many people that will pay you good money to do simple things that they just don't want to do themselves. The good thing is that you don't have to actually do the work yourself

[@LukePollack]

Very cleannn setup man! 🧼

[@jeffryesmeralda]

Dude, insane setup 👏👏👏! I appreciate all the gear especially the Kingston Workflow, Elgato products & cable management. Also, great job on the interior design! It’s dope! Love the plants too! Andres & your video make me more excited to do my own desk setup. Keep creating!

[@BeardedLuke]

Thank you! I really appreciate all the kind words!!

[@b0n3zy]

Thanks for sharing your journey and your setup man, really love what you've done with everything! The intro was special, as it’s inspiring to see how you found such an elegant way to mesh both your desks and needs. I have been rocking the same countertop & similar parts for the past 2-3 years and I am at the point where I am ready for a large overhaul (probably including wooden slats this time around) so every bit of inspiration is helpful! My search for a balanced Apple / work - pc / hardcore FPS gaming set up led me to your vid, as my main issue is that I use totally different peripherals for each and cannot just use a KVM switch. People who use a logitech MX master and keyboard combo on their mac and a gaming keyboard and gaming mouse on their PC will understand. Your vid made me realise that the missing link to allow me to hide the clutter of 2 sets on the desk is the desk shelf. It was also very helpful to see a 32” monitor stacked set up, I have them side by side and I have been considering this. Thanks again, I will be following your progress!

[@Xithugx]

Good stuff,I’m still saving for my dream setup ❤

[@BeardedLuke]

HECK Yes, it will be awesome!!!

[@Achilles_11_]

When you build your new pc, I recommend the lian li dynamic evo case. Its one of the few cases that is reversible, meaning you could have the components exposed on the right side of the case 👍

[@BeardedLuke]

THANK YOU, I actually wondered if that was possible because I hate that I cant see inside

[@IRLMaddox]

Perfection in a video

[@BeardedLuke]

Ur perfection

[@JYoutubes10]

Thanks for sharing man! Probably gonna try that BTOD cable box.

[@BeardedLuke]

Yo ! It’s so nice. Such a secret gem.

[@aworkofart.92]

I love watching desk setup videos. I get so much inspiration and this is added to my list. I am really trying to upgrade my desk and make it longer to have more room. Thank you for such a great video!

[@boztikmedia8784]

most underrated channel. love your setup. hard sub from me

[@BeardedLuke]

This made my whole month, thank you for saying that!!!!

[@rfml_]

So satisfying, nice work. What is the beat at 02:20 called?

Thanks!!

[@TexasFinest_Collectibles]

Amazing Setup. Nice and clean.

[@BeardedLuke]

YO THANKS! Appreciate it!

[@brandonm.williams6095]

I was really hoping you’d go into detail on how you switch back and forth and how things are connected. Is it all run thru the same doc with your monitors? Struggling with this myself! lol

[@BeardedLuke]

YO! If that would be helpful I will make a whole video on how i made it work!

[@jonocai]

Love the video man!!! im currently making a similar desk setup with pc and mac just wondering if your monitors have 2 cables running out of them 1 into the pc and 1 into the dock ?

[@BeardedLuke]

So the monitor I do use for the MacBook has one usbc cable going into the dock. It also has one display port cable going into the pc. I don’t use the top display for the Mac.

[@CreatedbyZyaire]

That desk is 🔥

[@pownerontwitch]

Logitech Superlight is goated

[@BeardedLuke]

Powner is goated

[@aaronzabaron]

I love, love, love, love pegboards.

[@BeardedLuke]

I love love love love you

[@Shukz707]

Is it easy to keep on staring the upper monitor over a long period? still thinking dual side by side or like your setup.

[@BeardedLuke]

Well I only use that monitor for like discord, chat when I stream, really never use it for more than 10 min. I think it’s perfect for just being extra space to put stuff thats not on your main display. I mainly did it to save space.

[@rufaxjr]

awsome setup,truley inspirational

[@BeardedLuke]

Glad you like it!

[@pavitramallick]

will surely use some inspiration from this setup dude

[@BeardedLuke]

Thank you!!!!!!

[@Born4One]

Nice desk hack. I have mine mounted to a Fully Jarvis frame.

[@BeardedLuke]

That’s awesome! I wish I had better legs honestly. I bet those are awesome.

[@Born4One]

@@BeardedLuke So far so good.

[@CodeDadBeard-wi5xf]

Great setup and love the separation of spaces! Why not just use the Nuphy for both Windows and Mac to reduce peripherals? Then you won’t need the Magic Keyboard

[@BeardedLuke]

So I actually bought it for both! But have had some issues wirelessly with it. I actually think it’s defective lol. So I’m the meantime I’ve been switching back a fourth!

[@nols7404]

what do you plug your speakers into goxlr or pc directly

[@BeardedLuke]

So my pc doesn’t actually use the speakers at all. I plug the speakers into the thunderbolt hun that I use for for my MacBook. I strictly use a headset for the PC.

[@nols7404]

make a video on the goxlr on how to set up in windows 11 my mic not workking

[@BeardedLuke]

Maybe I will! I actually haven't upgraded to windows 11 yet

[@patrickjstewardphotography7329]

How do you get audio to your speaker from your mac and pc?

[@BeardedLuke]

The audio for my macbook comes by plugging the speaker cable into my thunderbolt hub, the PC i just use headphones, those speakers don't actually work with the PC with how I have it setup

[@AR-bj5et]

How was your experience getting the Spectrum? I’ve spent so long looking for a good hybrid monitor that doesn’t look like shit but they all seem to have huge strings attached, it’s been really annoying. Did you get it with no problems? Do you have any alternative recommendations?

[@BeardedLuke]

Honestly I had to buy the spectrum on eBay because at the time it was a 3 month wait! Atm I don’t have any other comparable options that offer the exact same stats.

[@AnnkurKumar]

How did you set up the windows Mac hybrid setup with the same monitors? And how did you do the cable management?

[@BeardedLuke]

All the links are in there. But the windows computer is connected to the minister via display port. And the Mac is connected via a thunderbolt hub via thunderbolt 4

[@Ali_Kayani]

We'll wine broke down, deliveries appreciated 😅

[@mateovrb]

Nice setup! Do you see any image quality difference on your main monitor between mac and windows? Because I'm looking for a hybrid monitor and I currently have a xiaomi 34 ultrawide and the image is great on windows but the sharpness and colors on mac are really bad. I'm using a dp-c cable and it supports a 144hz which is great for mac but I dont even use my mac on monitor because of the image quality. So I'm looking for something close to retina but something that is also great for gaming on windows. Thanks!

[@BeardedLuke]

I actually see no difference between mac and PC, it looks just as sharp on both. I do use a paid software on my mac called betterdisplay, and it helps me tweak my macbook to look sharper, this is as close to retina as it gets from what I have found. And thats coming from a guy who used a 5k imac for 7 years then a 5k LG monitor for 3 years.

[@AaronKelley]

I love filmmaker dad.

[@BeardedLuke]

I love you a lot

[@Siojuu]

Hey man, love the vid. QQ about the main monitor. Any issues with sharpness and text clarity when connected to the macbook?

[@TheLordismystrenght7]

what i dont understand is Stacking, neck is straining looking at it.

[@BeardedLuke]

Well I don’t use the top one unless I’m streaming. But it’s space effective

[@Raven.tech614]

how do yall order tabletops from ikea like that? shipping is $200

hey my guy i do keyboard builds and was thinking if you want i can do a build for you you get parts i do labor? colab on the parts case switches everything and then knock it out? what you think?

[@GuiOfficial]

You should take a look into monitors with built in KVMs. that way you don't need two keyboards/mice and you also wouldn't need to reach all the way back to change inputs. And Andres was not the "inventor" of this "hack". He's a baby in the tech setup world.

Great setup. But I can't treat seriously someone who choses apples carpaltunel moise over mx master 3. And that nuphy keyboard which you are not using that often...sounded baaaaaaad. Bit maube it is because you did not actually type.
