I enjoy a good old desk/case gallery (OCUK) or Battlestation (https://www.reddit.com/r/battlestations/) thread and thought I should start one here, so here goes.

Post your gaming setup! I'll go first.

This is my setup  in Saudi, the box in the  far right corner is a voltage regulator as the voltage dips when the air con turns on

Great idea, and very clean set up uni. Love it. What are the ambient lights? Are they software controlled from the desktop?

Looks good too sulks. Especially the console-sized PC, I do like the idea of those for more portable battle stations.

I'll post up mine in the week!

Ditto Chaos' questions on the light setup Uni! That setup looks lush man well done!

Is that a pre-built desk @sulky? Looks quite large if it is. I gave up looking and went with a worktop and some steel legs I got separately in the end as I couldn't find anything big/deep enough. What's it like getting pc parts out in Saudi, do Amazon operate out there?

Regarding the lights, they are Philips Hue playbars. You can get them as a twin or triple pack(I have the triple). Lights are controlled with the phone app or with the Windows app. That current light theme is just a pre-set one called 'Disturbia', for some reason. You can manually control each light using a colour wheel or use some of their pre-sets.
With the Windows app you can actually get it to observe your monitor and change colours based on that. I played some Doom Eternal and Destiny with it enabled and it would change based on the scene. Can be quite cool but also a little distracting if the changes happen frequently. Actually one of the cool things it does is also listen to the audio as well and reacts to that.

the desk was in the villa when i moved in, its an ikea special provided by the company. I removed the drawers so i could get the chair under it.
Dont know much about pc parts out here as havent had the need so far. i bought the system in the pic in the uk, its  smaller that latest gen consoles with a 9900k and 2080ti air cooled.  Also the 3070 laptop i just bought was also from the uk. so unless both break (touch wood) i wont have the need to find out. They have amazon but the selection is limited for pc parts

I can't get the one in normal light to upload the right way round, so this'll have to do.

Agree with Tobes though, nice looking panels.

What case do you have @Rizzy, that looks quite nice and decent front in takes!

@Milli, that's really tidy. I like the idea of two desks like that. I can see you've gone for the Ikea classic of worktop and their drawers. It's a nice setup and popular on the OCUK thread like this. What size is that second screen?

Milli

Cheers bud - They are the Predator x34 on the left and rog swift 27" on right
