    I bought the 59 57" monitor after watching your Endgame Monitor video; I'm loving it and (for now) glad I didn't watch this video before I bought it! Fingers crossed. 🙂

    I also have the Uplift Commercial Grade 4 Leg Sit/Stand Desk.. with Butcher Block top... I really love the quality and stability of it.. Was expensive but well work it, its a tank, literally I got the 80x30 so its massive but love all the space. Also drew a lot of inspiration from this setup as I continue to build out my dark mode setup with Black/walnut color scheme with white/silver accents.

    now, I have just found your channel (and subbed right away). you (and your friend) should put that desk into production AND, if viable, patent all you can about it... I am tired of amazing desk taht suck at cable management or amazing cable management that fail miserably at being a desk... well done sir, very well done!

    Finally, a setup with a decent pair of speakers

    • @vitod7034
      @vitod7034 Před 5 měsíci +1

      Agreed. Good speakers are a must. Mine aren't as fancy but I'm using Polk Reserve R100 as my desktop speakers. Their sound suits me extremely well. Maybe I'll go with the small KEFs if I want something a bit smaller.

    • @Frigobar_Ranamelonico
      @Frigobar_Ranamelonico Před 9 dny +1

      Same, I found it crazy how many people cheap on audio.
      Mine is probably a bit crazier because I isolated them with a floor stand and they're a couple of 3 way speakers (Wharfedale Evo 4.2).
      Even worse when they buy like 3-5k TVs and they buy a soundbar.

    @DavidRyanTaylor Před 5 měsíci +3

    Great vid! I opened the same Grovemade desk pad for a couple years. While I liked how it looked initially, it began to show its age fairly quickly. I also had a custom desk top made, so I didn’t like that it was covering up that beautiful grain. I also didn’t like how my mouse felt on the deskpad - gritty (no matter how’s much I cleaned) and certainly not buttery smooth. So I tossed the Grovemade and ordered an Artisan mouse pad. I can’t speak highly enough about the pad, and I love having more of my desktop back.

  • @Solus793

  • @bmb0y07

    @jessechen can you please share what brand magnetic cable snack you're using and if you were to buy one again, would you buy the same one or explore a different brand/model? I see a few different brands on Amazon so curious which one you're using and how happy you are with it.

  • @Born4One

    I recommend the Atlas headrest for the embody chair. Also I might have to scoop up that Tesla charger. Our setup is similar except I have the Ark Gen 2.

  • @troybryantIII
    @troybryantIII Před 4 měsíci

    Omg - "buy cheap by twice" - Legendary. Started off on this set up journey while back and cheaped out on everything looked nice but kept breaking or didnt work as expected. Just wait the extra time and pay the money. But that is the best saying.

  • @JDFrancis
    @JDFrancis Před 4 měsíci

    Very nice video. I have the CalDigit TS3 (I think) and it's been fantastic. When I bought my M1 MacBook Air, I wasn't really stoked about dropping a huge chunk of change on a dock, but it's been SO WORTH IT.
    I also have one of the Grovemade matte desk pads, and I can't believe how much I like the thing. I've always been a soft cloth mousepad kind of guy, but thought I would try something different. I originally had their felt pad and just didn't enjoy the texture. The matte pad is just great though. Definitely the unsung hero of my desktop.

  • @Personalinfo404
    @Personalinfo404 Před 5 měsíci

    36 inch depth on the desk is was I did too. 78X36, however I ended up feeling too far away from everything (innocn 401C 40 inch flat 1440p) ended up cutting it to 32 and a half on the depth and now its perfect. Nice set up, what do you think about the Kwumsy K3 keyboard? it has a built in touch screen you can use on it, I think youd be able to get rid of your tablet. it is also hotswapable, AND has 4 USB AND has a NVME slot on it. Check it out, its 386 but I got mine on sale for 300, tell us if its "desk worthy". im interesting in your insight on this....rather odd keyboard screen dock..thing.

  • @justjoey1420
    @justjoey1420 Před 4 měsíci +1

    If you want the same 80x35in desk you can order or pick up a blank solid core door from Home Depot. Pick your stain and your legs and now you have a massive and very strong desk.

    Looks nice. Seems like the whole sit stand thing is a little old. Realistically, how often do you actually change your workspace elevation? I have an Uplift as well, super high quality frame and movement but if I'm honest, I rarely use it.

    Are you using a MB Pro? If so what series, M1/M2/M3? Just wanted to know how you get full resolution on the display if using M1, since I guess that would require two cables and PBP mode on the monitor.

    Have you a link for the casters? Also I was wondering whats the best standing desk on a budget under €400? I dont have a table top at the moment either so its probably better get the top with the legs rather than buying them seperately as im sure it would work out cheaper that way. The size Im after is approx 80cm by 160cm.

    do you find that the crossmember right below the desk top effects how your legs fit under the desk? This has been the only issue that I have read about with the 4 legged desk, When you try to slide under the desk. That crossmember hits the top of your thighs>

    I love this setup! One thing I'd love you to review is the Alienware 3225QF as a possible replacement for my dual monitors. I love glossy screens but finding a OLED 4K+ monitor for both gaming and productivity has been tricky. I think the higher pixel density of smaller screens for productivity and media but also still want to be able to game casually. Let me know what you think!
