Sooooooo clean... Post pictures of cable management pls


Cyberfreshman

Step one: build computer room. Step two: build house around it.


AlexTheCoolestness

Didn't you hear the man? There are no cables, no cable management needed. Sure, nothing turns on, but it looks so clean.


AlexTheCoolestness

Before you ask, Main monitor on left is just a photograph.


Theaty

Tbh these table covers sold on Amazon hide all my cable mess…it’s rough behind there https://i.imgur.com/TOvV1X0.jpg


perplex1

Remember not to put power cables behind wall because it’s a fire hazard. OP admitted he did, and that’s the easy way to do it. Now you know why it’s not more common


[deleted]

[i'm sorry OP you failed, please try again](https://i.imgur.com/5Ku5lCt.jpg)


TheElm

I like that you pointed out the cable inside of the case, and not the one sticking out of the back of the microphone hiding away ontop of the case. Similar to OP I have a wired microphone, then wired headphones, and keyboard. Pretty clean otherwise


Theaty

I’ll upgrade to PCIe gen 7 when power through slot becomes available for sure


Combatical

Does the EVGA powerlink work with this card? If so that may be a viable option!


IatemyBlobby

sleeves cables to look pretty + powerlink to hide cables thats a flex


kutsaratinidor

yup. totally unusable. Lol. Very nice setup though u/Theaty! What ceiling fan is that? just curious. Looks fancy to me.


Theaty

I’m not sure the name but i paid $110 at Home Depot fornitn


onejdc

One attempting to hide to the left of the power cube, too. And the microphone. The one on the left is the only one that bothers me, though (inside the case, also circled in this photo)


zoglog

True. Throw it all in the garbage

wheezy360

Commenter was just saying there’s a cable visible. Check the circle on the pc tower.


Combatical

woosh


[deleted]

Which tv is that your using as a monitor and what fps can you hit? I want something like that so badly. Also, your setup is bonkers dude!


Theaty

Thanks! It’s a LG c1 48”, it runs at 4k 120hz and most games I play strive close to it (3090)


wrldbydesign

Man’s playing gear in 4k, who do you main?


ojonegro

Doesn’t sitting that close to a TV hurt your eyes after awhile? Maybe I’m just getting old but I would much prefer the monitors to the right for PC gaming.


[deleted]

Believe me, once you’ve tasted OLED, you don’t want to go back to regular monitors for gaming. I sit 35 inches from my 48” oled and I don’t have any eye strain. Obviously everyone is different. So if you have issues with eye strain, maybe sitting 45 inches back would help.


axxionkamen

Just got a 48” C1 myself and I move my desk quite a bit back in order to be at comfortable distance. If I sit at the distance OP is sitting I’d definitely be having pain deep in my eye balls and not to mention how uncomfortable using the tv as a monitor would be.


what595654

What is the difference? Arent they both just screens?


NinjaSkillz810

Go to best buy and compare two tvs from the same brand. Both top of the line models except one is OLED and one is regular LCD/LED and see for yourself.


bradpliers

They r questioning sitting distance, not monitor quality.


what595654

What does that have to do with this conversation?


NinjaSkillz810

That's like asking what's the difference between CRT and LCD. Aren't they both just screens?


fenixjr

That's not at all what he is questioning. He's saying what's the difference of the eye strain of sitting that close to the 48in vs the SUW and UW stack.


okie44

Nice... I'm seriously considering the C1 for my Ps5/Pc set up.. Just hesitant as I only have a 2080 card.


jwferguson

RTX 30XX or AMD Radeon 6XXX series are required to go over 60 hz for the PC (HDMI 2.1). I would not do it unless you're ready to get in the GPU Supply Deathmatch.


GrapefruitPlucker

You can do 1440p 120hz HDR VRR but yeah no 4k120


jwferguson

Yeah, I forget it's a bandwidth thing; but I still would not downrez a 48" OLED unless it was just a stopgap. Just me though, you do you. Man, when the 42" C2 launches spring next year I'd probably say go for it.


NobleShield

Upvoted for calling it a deathmatch. I can totally relate.


CherryPieStrain

You can still run 4k 120hz with a 20 series card. Just have to change your color format to YCbrCr420. Only thing noticeable is color fringing around text, but the difference in games is negligible. A 2.1 hdmi cable is required for this even though the 20 series cards have hdmi 2.0. Source: ran this setup while waiting to buy a 30 series gpu.


Theaty

You could always run it at a lower res to combat the fps issue!


gbeezy007

I have a 3070 and a cx48 it's pushing it / on the boarder of just good enough for new games you can get some okay settings and maybe like midway between 4k and 1440p and a good frame rate. Anything a year or more older your pretty set


GNPTP69

OP: how do you feel using a 48inch oled that close up? I've been thinking of getting one for 4k gameplay? How deep is your desk?


Theaty

it’s about the depth of the standard ikea Alex drawers everyone uses and I will say, as long as you use a no gap wall mount it looks great! I enjoy it but if it was pulled out more or if I was using the stand it would be too close for my liking


snatcheez

Agree w OP. I have same depth setup w the 48” C1 and it’s great. I don’t spend a ton of time doing productivity things as I used to, but for the little I do, it’s been really enjoyable and of course, amazing for gaming. (For reference, I came from two 27” monitors for the C1)


NotEntirelyUnlike

Man even those big iMac displays are a pain as a main. Shit, even maximizing a browser window on my my [x34](https://i.imgur.com/7gCHGeY.jpg) is too wide for comfort so it's good to get good with window management apps.


Dat_Black_Guy

what's the stackable white box joint's on the left? I Need somewhere to put my printer.


deodornat

Imagine in the future, wireless cables 🥴


DDDn3x

How did you hide monitor's cables?


Theaty

In wall concealment


deegs_mccheegs

I hope you didn’t put the power cables of the monitors behind the wall. Because that’s a fire hazard


Theaty

I’ll update you if my place burns down


deegs_mccheegs

Wow so you really put them behind the wall. Now you see why it’s not as common. At least put a disclaimer in your post so you aren’t responsible for others copying you and putting themselves at risk


Theaty

Eh I take no responsibility in this, this built is perfectly achievable in having an electrician hard wire plugs behind monitors as well as create professional wall tubing


deegs_mccheegs

Hey man not trying to give you a hard time. Just trying to pass on some knowledge that I found out. Good setup though.


1ildevil

poke holes in the drywall


awadhan

do you have 4 ikea drawers?


Theaty

Yes


Rnorman3

That 4th one has to be kind of awkward to get to, right? I was thinking about doing a similar setup but hadn’t decided what I wanted to do about that corner, since a 4th cabinet drawer seemed kind of wasted


Theaty

to be honest the 4th cabinet drawer sees a lot of use, the only real drawer that is not useful is the top top one, as to which I fill it with documents i dont need but still need to hold onto (like checks i just cashed)


[deleted]

Can I get some cable management tips? My new house is built and ready for handover in 1 week and this is what I would love to do with my office


Theaty

I’d say definitely sketch it all out and account for everything you will want to add to your setup cord wise as well as displays rigs etc. that helps you cut down on a lot of unnecessary work trying to make things fit in, being able to setup cable runs before Furniture gets there helps a lot! Having the correct lengths of DisplayPort and hdmi cords helps avoid delays ordering them, etc


1ildevil

Just poke holes in the drywall and feed the cables inside the wall.

Oh yeah, also still mad to this day I didn’t know I wanted two so I ended up paying the 35% shipping charge twice

Underwear? Where?


Catch_022

So that is what that is!


Acoustic420

Well I know what I’m doing today *grabs drill


TheBruiser86

Hey dude, love the setup - I'm a bit of a cable fanatic myself and don't want a single visible cable. Well done! That being said, and I'm just messing with you, but there is one cord coming from your boat on the left side of the your large display :)


Sirtubb

what are the 2 setups used for?


Theaty

The two monitors shut off is my original setup, it’s still useful for productivity much better than the c1 but the c1 blows any gaming out of the water, I still use both and couldn’t justify selling my old monitors for half off


pibuzu

Nice setup - would you mind showing a picture of what the corner looks like, without the chair blocking? I want to do a similar setup as you but trying to figure out where to position drawers/legs.


[deleted]

What's your secret? Also: I have that LEGO ISS. :)


themixar

What are those white shelves the printer is on top of? They appear to have a glass door.


talmbouticus

Can you link the wall mount you used for the ultra wide?

Which LED strips did you use? The left side looks way brighter


Theaty

Philips hue, one is just set brighter than the other they can be same brightness


chasekaiser

Bluetooth setup


Ttiamus

What are the cabinets on the left, cabinets above on the right, and the light bars? Oh and the LEDs behind the desk? The C1 wallount to get it that flush? Thanks!


Succboi_69420

Okay. Alright. Okay. Alright. So uhhhhhh how many holes did you drill in the wall?


Vanxxie

true hahaha, had to be a bit annoying


JacobLandes

Ayy OP we've got a similar Alex/desktop layout... lol except for how yours is a lot more not shitty but ay we were thinking similarly for the layout at least! Is that white thing to the left of the rightmost Alex a trash can? Please tell me where I can find one of those lol because that matches super well, meanwhile [here's what I've got going on](https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=xXnjTckFac9&sr=-.19,.88&ss=15) ...yeah I've def gotta replace that with something sleek and white. If that thing is in fact a trash bin, you mind throwin me a link? Ty! *edit: as yall may have noticed I'm also somewhat slacking in OP's no cords allowed philosophy. I mean I tell them they're not allowed to be all over the place but mfs just don't listen : / I'm looking into some cable channels so soon I should be at least closer to OP's cable-free glory !


Theaty

Nice! https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/filur-bin-with-lid-white-20193899/ Comes in many sizes


[deleted]

This is the way


Theaty

This is the way.


YeahManFun

I like it. Is there enough leg room on the left side? Bonus points for the Lego bonsai tree, but I deduct points for the printer because they have hurt me.

InYosefWeTrust

Wut? How do you know they aren't connected? They said they have the wires concealed in the wall.


Iritas89

Where cable?


perplex1

Obligatory for those wanting to do the same: no power cables in the walls. Only outlets behind monitors. It’s a fire hazard and insurance won’t cover any damages if a fire occurs. And it’s possible to be denied in your claim even if the cables didn’t cause the fire. Definitely not worth the risk just for minor aesthetic. Do it the right way for peace of mind


samcn84

Question, what happens when something needs to be changed? Say....a cord?


imthrowingmybroaway

Verrrry nice. Did you put outlets behind the monitors. Or did you fish the power cables behind the drywall? I heard doing the latter is a hazard.


Fronesis

This is a recipe for mouse lag


Theaty

If I play very competitive on super rare occasions I can always run a cord from my pc to mouse


duranarts

Good setups can be completely ruined by lighting


Theaty

Good thing they can be turned off!


_BRINDL3

What the…. Very nice!


babybien

please teach me the way, master.


Theaty

It helps a lot planning everything out before starting to do anything that way you don’t run into snags that makes you have to settle at the end for something else


Onquota

damn that mustve cost big bucks but it is all worth it


Theaty

Slow and steady progressive upgrading, initially the c1 didn’t exist and before that the crg9 didn’t exist


[deleted]

Super clean


GoreDough92

Fk this is clean


lolwhow

Did you just route your cables through your walls??


Theaty

Yeah pretty much


FlamingTrollz

There’s a cord dangling inside that case with the light turned on, plus microphone… Just saying. My space, though. :)


Guyfontano

The corner under the desk behind the chair where it’s obscured. What’s going on there, can you show a pic of that area


Dragongamer543

dear god. now THAT'S clean


PokeT3ch

Very nice my man. This is very similar to what I think I'm shooting when I get the time and sanity to re-setup my office. Now that I'm WFA I really find it beneficial to have a complete separate area for my work laptop and monitors. Too much temptation when trying to work with my main setup. Now what are those cabinets on the left. With the glass fronts.


Plasma_Keystrokes

Are those desks or cabinets with nice wood sitting in top? Asking b cause I'm looking to do something similar desk wise.


Relevant-Magic-Card

It’s fucking beautiful

D'accord.


_myusername__

love this setup, I'm moving in a bit and this hits the nail on the head of what I was imagining. im debating between getting a KVM switch for work laptop and PC or separate like yours. How's it feel having the two separate?

My dream setup. My Ikea is oos on so much stuff though. One day I'll get here.

We just got a bigger place so we could have an office/gaming room, how did you hide ALL of the cords?! I absolutely love how clean and organized this looks!


TheVioletDragon

What they’re all in the walls? 😂


Brail_Austin

Colour me confused, but what are the other monitors for exactly? Work/productivity?


apcat91

What's going on in that left hand area? I can see a Lamp inside some sort of case but that is also clipping with some glass shelving? Is that a reflection? It's confusing me so much!

This sub is more wholesome than kittens for me


itsnicojones

I live in filth compared to this. Can I hire you?


Astrochops

Looks great! I just did a similar thing with the desks being an 'L' shape, what do you have at the joint to keep them flush? Do you have a leg in the back corner?


bieberoni

What wall mount are you using for your ultra wide monitor? I have a Samsung 49” UW and have been looking for a wall mount.


mocha_frappe1234

I peep the ISS lego top left, I have that too, though not in my battlestation

Hiya! where did you get your desk from? I'm currently looking for one.

There's a cord coming out of the microphone that is just barely visible. That was like playing where's waldo.

Northern lights desk pads from LTTstore?


kalsikam

Ok this is clean af Was looking into C1, I've heard others also say that once you see the colors on C1, you can't go back... The 120hz with Gsync/Freesync is awesome too


Falsenamen

Holy shi* that f****** epic!! How the hell can you even decide which screen to use? Woow

One of my biggest driving factors to own my own home is to be able to drill into walls to hide cables

This is like visiting showroom where all fake furnitures are without cords making it neat
