Tour of a $25,000+ Dream Desk Setup

[@FracnoTV]

I get a lot of comments saying "that's not $25k" and part of me doesn't care while the other part wants to just list this stuff so people stop bothering me. From left to right Canon EOS R camera $1900 Canon RF 15-35 f2.8 lens $2400 Canon EOS R5 camera $5000 Canon RF 35 f1.8 $500 (We're at about $10,000 in just camera and lenses already and that doesn't take into account memory cards and the other lenses I use, and my Canon C70 I use to film KZbin videos which is $5500 on its own) Manfrotto arms x2 $150 each Cheap vertical monitor $200 Main monitor $550 Cheap third monitor $200 Monitor arms x3 $120 Uplift standing desk $1000 Rosson Audio RAD-0 Headphones with custom cable $3500 SMSL SU-9 DAC $450 SMSL SH-9 AMP $290 GoXLR $550 BenQ ScreenBar Plus $140 Amazon Echo Show 8 $100 Shure SM7B Mic $400 Elgato Stream Deck $150 Elgato Key Light $130 Grovemade Headphone Stand $160 Grovemade Desk Shelf with desk tray $360 Grovemade Desk Pad $160 Logitech Superlight Pro $160 Logitech MX Master 3 $100 Keyboard is hard to price because you have price paid vs value when it comes to collectible limited things such as custom mechanical keyboards, rare switches, collectible artisans, etc. but I'll try Space65 Cybervoyager case $500 purchased from a friend but sells for around $700-800 on mechmarket GMK Mecha 01 Keyset $300 for all kits but sells for $300-500 on mechmarket Original Holy Panda switches purchased when they first came out and were mega expensive $350 Bro Caps Gamer Set Custom made $250 usually in a sale, much higher second hand, even higher when made custom KWK Mummy $150 but can go for over $1000 second hand GAF Unit 01 Grimace II $500 Nightcaps Fugthulu and Menloe $120 each but if sold as a set would go for over $1000 (Yes I understand how ridiculous it seems that a single keycap could be worth over $1000. Welcome to the world of collectible artisans.) Orbit Cables Custom cable $100 Grovemade x Keycult Desk Pad $80 All the various mousepads I use and show in the video on top of all the others already on my desk are around $30-50 each Arctis Pro Wireless headphones $250 Rama M6A $100 USB foot pedal $30 Herman Miller Embody $1600 Aputure 120d II Light with light dome II $1000 Computer is annoying to list out especially with how prices change but I will try to list what I paid for it all Ryzen 9 5900X $550 EVGA GeForce 3090 XC3 ULTRA GAMING $1500 ASUS Crosshair VIII Formula Mobo $590 NZXT Kraken Z73 Cooler $250 Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB RAM $225 Samsung 980 Pro 1TB SSD $150 Corsair 5000D Case $170 SeaSonic Focus Plus Gold 850W PSU $150 EK Vardar X3M Fans x 10 $30 each Elgato Camlink Pro $350 APC UPS $210 ASUS Zen Wifi $400 Computer Stand $50 All of this comes out to $29,455 This is using the low ball estimate of my artisans not the second hand prices, I only inclued one desk mat not the 10-15 I own, and it doesn't include all the little shit that I can't be bothered to add up like the cables I use to run to everything, the memory cards, my multiple harddrives I use to edit, the software I've purchased, etc etc. I tried to get the price I paid at the time, but that was too much work so for some things I used the price of the item right now, which is lower most the time since some of the stuff is older. Hopefully the hour it took me to do this will get people off my balls, but probably not. P.S. - At no time did I ask anyone if they thought these things were "worth it", and I'm still not. Stop worrying about what other people spend their money on.

[@nauscakes1868]

5 hours ago? Did I just randomly stumble on this as a fluke? I fell down a rabbit hole of looking at office set-ups, so it was nice just to see what people had going on. As a photography person, the moment I saw you had an R5--there was no question about the money thing. And it's not really important. I just wanted to see the set-up. Honestly, it was pretty relatable. I'm trying to figure out my monitor placement, and it's weird how the dream set up isn't just intuitive, and simply comes from lots of trial and error. ----------- Oh, a final, but very important note! I'm sooo happy to see someone acknowledge the junk-drawer. I've seen soo many desk/office videos, and I feel like people either hide their junk drawer or just keep it in another room. But for me -- it's just vital. I keep my scissors and a lot of misc tools in there. Lint roller and such. Thanks again for the video!

[@danielegalizzi8562]

Off-topic, but have you seen that MSI and Asus are releasing new EVA-themed PC components? Asus also has an EVA mousepad, shirts, mouse... I think that you might be interested in those, for some reason... Dunno precisely why 😅

Dig the over-the-shoulder shot for the desk tour. It makes it feel like I’m there and you’re casually flexing your desk. Stoked to see everything coming together!

looking at your desk makes me want to switch from a white desk to a black desk with wood it looks so cozy, instead of the harsh white

[@barisgunduz]

Clicked like button at 2:30. The most detailed and well organized and well shot and good nice best everything (Quick edit at 16:11). Anyone who wants to shoot a desk setup tour video should take this video as an example.

[@MarijanPiano]

Truly well executed setup & badass gear overall man, loving the whole studio vibe!

[@FracnoTV]

Thanks dude! I've got some fun stuff planned for this space.

[@AnnkurKumar]

6:01, I like the view from the top. Few questions - 1. Cable management !! How?? 2. Why and How you connected two dslr?? And how do you manage battery charging?? Especially in game streaming and video calling scenarios??

[@baitboy3191]

Ladies and gents I present to you the definition of diminishing returns, I have seen tours of youtubers with millions of subs, that don't have nearly as expensive or amount of tech there and yet their content looks as good as yours.

[@FracnoTV]

When did I say any of this was necessary for millions of subs or high quality? Couple thoughts here, 1. It's not always about quality, at a certain point quality caps out. Sometimes (most of the time) it's about convenience. I want everything to be as convenient as possible to simplify and streamline my workflow. 2. I am willing to bet that "their content looks as good as yours" is not always true, and that maybe you don't know what you're looking for. Regardless, someone with talent can make a bad camera look good and someone without it can make a good camera look bad. Judging by the comments I frequently receive that usually say something like "your quality is so good, I thought you had millions of subs", I'd say I'm making the most of my geat. 3. KZbin and Twitch paid for everything here unless it was something a company sent to me for review. 4. This might blow your mind, but people spend money on their hobbies, and tech can be someone's hobby. Even better when their hobby makes them money (see 3). 5. Why do you care? If it's my money and my stuff, have you ever considered just... worrying about yourself?

[@ColdBrewCJ]

The new studio looks great and that desk setup is CLEAN! Glad you both had a safe move and that you're making videos again ❤️

[@scccythe]

i have a purple theme too and your keyboard is quite literally my dream board, it's the most beautiful board i've ever seen

[@PatrickRambles]

LOL I saw that lotion joke coming a mile away and still chuckled 😂

[@kouhaiii3182]

this is definitely one of the most extravagant setups that i actually like! especially the keeb! personally, i don't get the appeal of putting objects between the monitors, i like them as close to each other as possible. but overall, the setup shows so much of what you like and i respect it

[@leoc4]

Quality of your videos matches/beats most mainstream youtubers, keep it up!

[@xenotone3284]

Your production values are awesome. Nice setup too. Good to see you gaining subs, you deserve it.

[@LightningXI]

An absolute dream setup. So proud as a fellow keyboard (and artisan hehe) enthusiast. Love love love this, Franco!!

[@iggyblob4866]

This is the best setup I have ever seen!!! I love the colour way

[@PatrickRambles]

Would you say the GoXLR is better than the Rodecaster Pro?

[@Punished_Luna]

They both do the same thing the only difference is do you like the gimmick of built in sound board and voice effects of the Go Xlr, if you don't care for that then i say go with Rodecaster or which ever is cheaper on the market atm

[@PatrickRambles]

@@Punished_Luna Rodecaster has a sound board too

[@blackbriarmead1966]

Im out here in a 490 square foot apartment shared with another person but I try to make it work. I've got a high end gaming pc (32gb, 3080ti, 5900x), triple monitor stand although for now I only have 2 monitors. Main monitor is a Dell S2721DGF which does 165hz 1440p with an IPS panel, it's pretty great but I'm looking to get a 4k hdr monitor to replace as my main monitor and use the dell as a second monitor. My other monitor is some acer 1080p IPS display I got from a friend for free. I use a northern lights LTT desk pad, a Razer Basilisk Ultimate, and a razer membrane keyboard, which I am considering replacing with a logitech mechanical keyboard my friend got from a trade and is trying to sell for half off. For my microphone I'm using a 6 year old Blue Yeti mic which works well for catching every little noise but I'm considering going all out and getting a shure xlr mic, audio interface, and mic arm which picks up much less of the background noise. I use Beyerdynamic DT770 Pros as my mic, which I got modded with a headphone jack since they didn't come with a removable cable and my previous pair of headphones broke in that way. My desk is like 3 feet wide and came with the apartment so I don' have that much space. I would love to have space for a larger desk that I could put my desktop onto, but there already isn't too much space in here. I almost forgot, for my camera I have a Panasonic Lumix GH5 which I love for video, as well as an Olympus F2.8 12-40mm zoom lens which is versatile enough for my needs as I enjoy doing photography as well. I need to get some form of lighting, a desk mount for the camera which will probably be from elgato, a dummy battery, and a capture card to get 4k60p video from the camera to my computer. All in all I think the total for everything comes out to 4-6k from the time that I bought it, although I did split some stuff like the camera and lens with my roommate because we both use it. Honestly I do NOT need this much stuff but I love gaming and recently have been getting stuff that I could do content creation stuff with. I'm a Comp Sci student which I think increases my proclivity to spend money on my desk setup bc I spend so much time there anyways, although I'm still only making $15/hr working a part time job since I haven't gotten an internship yet mostly due to lack of trying my sophomore year, and who knows whether the traditional junior year internship is gonna happen with the way the tech industry is getting hit by this bear market. I don't know exactly what I want to do on youtube but I enjoy refining my setup to create a video with high production value. I feel like if you've got a high production value it's way easier to make it as a youtuber, although it is not a silver bullet. Once I've got audio, video, and lighting set up the way I like it, I'm gonna make myself stop buying stuff because my wallet doesn't like it lol. I guess I just don't like the idea of half-assing it, or maybe after spending so much money on the setup I would feel obligated to make the most of it. All I know is that I've gotta stop at some point and draw a line in the sand and start saving money instead

[@Illucidx]

I like the Unit 01 theme but you gotta let me know where you got that hoodie it looks sick

Hey Franco i just wanted to know what wallpapers you were using?Great video by the way,keep up the good work.

[@FracnoTV]

Check out the artist Deathburger. Link is in the video description.

[@RyanDotEXE]

My biggest take away from this video is that we have very similar aesthetics. While I want the triple monitor set up, i opted for the Odyssey arc instead. But all things consider our set ups are quite similar, aesthetically. My second take away is I should get a side-cart for my PC to free up some space. The Last take away is being thankful that I don't need all the recording and camera equipment because... god damn. :')

Do the custome ones take moulds for your ears or use some sort of measurements to get a 1 off fit and sound for you? Or is it just color and such that is customizable

Where did you buy the NERV sweatshirt from? link please

[@bigjimstream]

Thanks for the vid. Flex arm for your camera is a great idea. Would be great to be able to see your pc especially with all the work you put into the case, rgb, etc. Lastly, probably could have done without the lotion clip :). Thanks again for taking the time to show your setup.

[@ryvnoxford]

This is incredible! You’ve done a great job with the setup man

[@fiftyshadesofurban]

This is really great man. I have a couple UPLIFT Desk frames and have used them over the years with a variety of desks. Right now I have a glass desk which I really love but not being able to use monitor arms or boom arms that attach to the desk with clamps is really tough to deal with. It's a chore finding monitor arms that have a stand and then that takes up real estate, boom arm mic stand with the long heavy base so it doesn't fall etc. My office and living room are in the same large room and it's all got a glass table vibe.. so like.. making this desk not glass is tough. Was thinking about Uplift's cheery wood top, which would match all the cherry wood bookcases in here, but this would be the only table that's not glass .. but yours actually looks cool and that wooden shelf on top is pretty awesome. Also love the drawers and stuff. I'm wondering if it's better if I order the whole desk from Uplift and not just the parts. I wonder if the holes for like say the drawers and stuff will be pre-drilled? I'm thinking one exactly like yours with black and that gray mat and the black keyboard and mouse mat (though I'd probably use Elgato's green screen mat for transparent keyboard/mouse on stream) or maybe not but like you said, you have a ton of mats on deck LOL.. I wonder if the shelf is strong enough to clamp monitor mounts on to?

[@souneanly2367]

Such an amazing setup, Love the color ways between purple and cyan. Please keep up the good work!!!

[@bernhardmeier7567]

Amazing setup! But one thing: Did you use the SM7B to record the audio? Maybe throw a de-esser on there the s sounds were very harsh

[@FracnoTV]

I didn’t, I used a small Rode Wireless Go and as much as I love the convenience of them, I’m not a huge fan of how they sound and I wasn’t happy with the audio in this video. As bad as I think it sounds, you’d be surprised at the amount of post processing I had to do to get it at least this “good”. Also, fun fact but I have a degree in Audio Engineering which makes the way this video’s audio even more insulting.

[@evilmarc]

Yo it look sick but my neck would hurt so much. The main monitor is very high and you have to tilt your head very far left and right to see the vertical monitors.

[@FracnoTV]

The main monitor is adjusted for my height and you can see my neck is neutral when I’m sitting in front of it. The other monitors are indeed too far out and I do have to turn my head a bit much but it’s an unfortunate necessity due to the camera and mic.
