this office is essentially three rooms
in one the first one being my lackluster
video production studio where I record
and edit my videos to upload on this
YouTube channel subscribe if you haven't
already my gaming setup where I play
overwatch fortnight and whatever other
video games I find interesting at the
time and on very rare occasions our
stream over on Twitch
and although those streams are very far
and few between we always have a good
time and finally this serves as my
coding workstation whether I decide to
work from home as a software engineer or
I want to work on any of my own personal
projects so what are the items that go
into making this room all three of those
things in one that's what we're about to
take a look at in this video but first I
want to let you know that all items
talked about in this video will be
linked down in the description below
first and foremost we should talk about
the desk
both the desk bases are made by flexi
spot if you follow the channel for a
while you know that I really like the
flexi spots and desks and you're able to
set three different preferred heights
one for saving one for standing another
one for somewhere between I guess the
two desktops are different the wood one
I made myself I didn't make it as deep
or as long as I wanted to I kind of ran
out of wood on that one but as it serves
as a side table it'll do the job just
fine
the black desktop I actually really like
it is a very good length and a very good
depth and it actually has this little
curve in the middle for me to sit and
kind of be hugged up against my desk
that is a flexi spot desktop that came
with the base my peripherals are for the
most part gaming peripherals with my
keyboard being the Logitech G Pro gaming
10 keyless keyboard and alongside that
is the Logitech g600 2 Wireless Gaming
Mouse and those set on top of a corsair
mousepad for those rare twitch streams
or those desktop coding videos like I've
made in the past I use the Logitech c920
AP webcam that is sitting on top of a
really tiny Joby Gorillapod for audio I
use audio technica in 50s and those are
notorious for having very good sound for
a very cheap price before those times
where I just want to sit back and relax
and not worry about headphones on my
head that's where the kanto yu2 speakers
really come in handy they have sub
woofer and tweeter built into each and
are hands-down the best sounding desktop
speakers that I could find for this
price and just to make them look a
little bit cooler I have them set up on
these canto speaker stands my PC mic is
a blue snowball not the best sound
quality but it does the job for 50
and that is sitting on a knee were Mike
arm which really isn't very good but I
didn't know that at a time it was like
12 bucks oh and let's not forget my
chair it is some type of amazonbasics
chair that I actually like a lot more
than I thought I was ever going to the
only downside to it although could be
fixed with a little bit of wd-40 is it
squeaks I don't know if you can hear it
only on the mic but I know you've been
able to in previous videos because
plenty of people have thought I farted
but it was really just my chair my
monitor is an Asus 27-inch 1440p 60
Hertz monitor sitting on a vivo arm and
the machine that is powering all this is
a 4-year old custom built PC those specs
100% will be down in description because
I don't want to go over all of that and
all of those items are connected to an
APC surge protector the reason I chose
this is because when I had my internship
at NASA this is what they used in the
data center and if they're good enough
for NASA they're good enough for me so
those are all the items that go into my
desk set up for gaming streaming coding
yadda yadda yadda oh except for one
thing I actually use a MacBook Pro that
I don't have on me right now
I use that for iOS development and
various other sources of software
development alongside this beast back
here and everything that goes into work
I believe I'm using a dell inspiron
touchscreen laptop 16 gigabytes of ram
i7 core processor plenty of storage and
I run the Linux VM on that for work and
sometimes they'll use that here in my
office when I'm wanting to work from
home but that's it for the computer
parts now how do I make these videos
what are my tools I use four main tools
really first is my camera it is a limit
g7 with the 14 to 42 millimeter kit lens
on top of that is a video micro that
setup is sitting on top of a $70
Manfrotto tripod and behind is a knee
were light I used to have two of these
but one of the light bulbs broke and
since I have yet to get a new light bulb
that once it's in the closet
and that's touched on before when
talking about my mic arm nywhere
products aren't really the best they
kind of just get what seemed to be you
know alibaba type products slap their
logo on the side and sell it to you for
a marked up price so for the time being
I'm stuck with these two things but any
purchases movie
forward whether that's replacing the
lights or the mic arm they will
definitely not be knee where there would
be something a little bit better
something that you don't normally see or
just don't normally notice is my
networking setup it is sitting on this
old kind of ugly green antique chest
alongside pictures of me and my wife a
watch that don't really wear too often a
wooden bucket and some gold oh and Beach
and a glass bulb the router is an ASIS
AC 1900 which I have had zero problems
with it has worked beautifully and the
modem is also a naturist product that
I've had zero problems with but the
model number escapes me I also have
quite a few accessories that just live
in the office one of which being this
Edison bulb light fixture that you'll
see in the background of some of my
videos this is just from home depot
behind that you'll see a candle and in
this corner we have my Fender
Stratocaster yes I'm a lefty
we have my Cooperstown Hall of Fame
baseball bat in 2007 when I was 12 years
old I lived in Cooperstown for about a
week and what you know like a barracks
style setting and played a whole entire
baseball tournament there it's a lot of
fun and then analyse these amp for the
guitar I'm not sure if that's how you
pronounce it this isn't the best amp if
I had my choice I would have gotten a
Marshall but I've had this setup for
like I don't know 10 years and no it's
not just an art piece it actually gets
played and that's for this little guitar
stand up there don't remember the name
of it that'll be linked it below as well
over here we have a desk another candle
an old picture of Wrigley Field because
baseball and then is actually from the
2010 Senate of Virginia with a portrait
of all of the Senators everyone that was
a part of the Senate side of the General
Assembly as well as all of the Senate
pages we're right here you will see me
right here because I was actually sent a
page in the 2010 General Assembly pretty
cool huh
and over here we just have a simple
recliner for when Molly wants to come up
here and hang out with me while I'm
working in a baseball bat in case
anybody else who I don't know what's to
come up in here while I'm working so be
careful and that's about it for my we'll
probably never be finished off a story I
initially wanted to create an office to
be a very nice backdrop to my youtube
videos and then secondarily be a very
good and efficient work station but the
work aspect of things really
Gover now it's just a decent-looking
backdrop i mean i'm happy with it but
it's not exactly what I envisioned in my
head just know that this office will
always be a get work done office before
it'll be a pretty office and that's kind
of what I'm working with I hope you guys
enjoyed this video if you did be sure to
give it a big thumbs up remember all
links to everything listen this video
will be down on the station below be
sure be sure to subscribe if you have
any interest in computer science coding
so for engineering and tech to get all
of that work done and until next time
guys have a good one peace
