Q & A

What type of gaming setup is the narrator building?

The narrator is building a dual gaming setup using Corsair's Platform Six desks. It will be a his and hers setup for the narrator and his girlfriend.

What components is Corsair providing for the gaming setup?

Corsair is providing the Platform Six desks, peripherals like keyboards, mice, and headsets, lighting accessories, and more. They are sponsoring most of the gear used in the setup.

Why did the narrator opt for regular desks instead of electric sit-stand ones?

The narrator originally thought Corsair only sent him the basic static desks. However, he later realized they had also included the motorized legs to make them electric sit-stand desks. He just decided to use the basic static versions because he was feeling lazy.

What painting and customization did the narrator do?

The narrator sanded, primed, and painted his girlfriend's desk white. He also painted the back pegboard white to match. This was to give her setup a different look and feel from his plain black one.

What issue came up with the monitor cables?

The included display port cables with the Corsair monitors were too short to neatly route through the cable management system. So the narrator had to order 10ft cables to have sufficient length.

What accessories did the narrator add between the two desks?

The narrator added an RGB mini fridge between the two desks to make the setup look less like an office and give it some flair. He put an MSI dragon statue on top as a placeholder.

How did the narrator decorate and accessorize the two setups?

The narrator's setup was plain black with some LED lighting. He decorated with his airsoft gun, Portal figures, and Xbox controller. His girlfriend's side had RGB lighting, plushies she picked out, Pokémon cards, and other decorations.

What are the PC specs for each setup?

The narrator's PC has an RTX 4090 and Ryzen 7700X. His girlfriend's system is a generation behind with an RTX 3080 and Ryzen 5900X.

What future plans does the narrator have for the room?

He plans to add recess lighting, remove the old ceiling fan, add a chandelier, and buy more modern furniture like a glass and metal table with chairs.

What activities does the narrator look forward to in the new setup?

He looks forward to playing co-op PC games side-by-side with his girlfriend, as well as having convenient snack access with the nearby kitchen.
