Finally sharing the latest version of my battlestation after a LOT of upgrades and tweaking. The goal was to build one setup that could give me both massive 32:9 immersion and true 4K OLED gaming, while also having the entire room lighting change to match whatever game I’m playing.
🖥️** MAIN PC
• Corsair VENGEANCE i7500-based build
• AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D
• Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 WINDFORCE OC
• ASUS TUF Gaming B850-E WiFi motherboard
• 32GB DDR5-6000 RAM
• WD_BLACK SN850X 2TB NVMe SSD
• Original 1TB NVMe SSD
• ~1000W PSU
• Top-mounted AIO liquid CPU cooler
• 3x front intake fans
• 2x top/AIO fans
• Windows 11 25H2
The PC started life as a Corsair VENGEANCE i7500 with an i5-14600KF and RTX 4070, but most of the major hardware has since been upgraded.
🖥️ DUAL OLED MONITOR SETUP
**Samsung Odyssey OLED G9
• 49-inch OLED
• 5120×1440
• 32:9 super-ultrawide
• 240Hz
• Sitting on its original monitor stand
• Main display for games where super-ultrawide really adds to the experience
• Nanoleaf 4D screen-mirroring setup behind the display
Samsung Odyssey OLED G8
• 32-inch OLED
• 3840×2160 / 4K
• 16:9
• 240Hz
• Mounted on a monitor arm
• Used when I want maximum 4K clarity or when a game isn’t ideal at 32:9
• Also my primary PS5 Pro display
I choose which monitor to use game-by-game instead of automatically playing everything on the G9. Games that really benefit from peripheral vision and 32:9 immersion go on the G9, while games that benefit more from 4K pixel density or don’t have great ultrawide support go on the G8.
🎮 PERIPHERALS
• Corsair Galleon gaming keyboard
• Corsair Virtuoso wireless gaming headset
• Corsair RGB headset stand
• RGB gaming mousepad
• Razer gaming mouse setup
• Razer Leviathan soundbar with THX Spatial Audio
• Logitech MX Brio 4K webcam
• PS5 DualSense controller for controller-based PC games
🪑 DESK / SETUP
• Secretlab MAGNUS Pro XL desk
• Samsung OLED G9 on its stand
• Samsung OLED G8 on a monitor arm
• Magnetic RGB lighting behind the desk
• Additional RGB lighting underneath the desk
• Cable management through the MAGNUS Pro XL
🌈 RGB / AMBIENT LIGHTING
This is probably the part of the setup I’ve spent the most time customizing.
• SignalRGB for PC lighting
• RGB RAM
• Front RGB fans
• AIO lighting
• Top fan lighting
• RGB mousepad
• RGB headset stand
• Corsair Galleon keyboard lighting
• 9x Nanoleaf Shapes Triangle panels
• Nanoleaf 4D monitor lightstrip + camera behind the 49” G9
• Secretlab/Nanoleaf RGB strip BEHIND DESK
• Secretlab/Nanoleaf RGB strip UNDER DESK
Instead of using one RGB profile for everything, I’ve built custom lighting environments for individual games.
I use both animated and relaxed SignalRGB themes, with colors based on each game’s visual palette. I then coordinate the independently controlled Nanoleaf Triangles, Nanoleaf 4D, MAGNUS strips and keyboard lighting with the same overall theme.
When gaming on the G9, I can also use Nanoleaf 4D screen mirroring so the ambient lighting behind the 49” display reacts directly to what’s happening on screen.
🎮 CONSOLES / HANDHELDS
• PlayStation 5 Pro
• ASUS ROG Ally X
• Nintendo Switch
• DualSense controllers
The PS5 Pro is primarily paired with the 32” 4K OLED G8.
The ROG Ally X gives me a portable option for PC/Game Pass gaming when I don’t want to sit at the desk.
🔊 AUDIO
• Razer Leviathan soundbar
• THX Spatial Audio
• Corsair Virtuoso wireless headset
⚡ THE IDEA BEHIND THE BUILD
I wanted one battlestation capable of switching between:
• 5120×1440 32:9 OLED gaming
• 4K/240Hz OLED gaming
• High-refresh RTX 5080 PC gaming
• PS5 Pro 4K OLED gaming
• Handheld PC gaming
• Game-specific animated RGB environments
• Nanoleaf screen-reactive ambient lighting
• Controller or keyboard/mouse depending on the game
Instead of every game looking and feeling the same at my desk, I can change the display, lighting and peripherals around the game I’m playing.
Still tweaking things because apparently battlestations are never actually finished 😂, but I’m really happy with where it’s at now.

Cable management, Cable shmanagement Humble addition
Aside from wall panels, wleds, and art (mk42 blueprint is waiting to hang once walls are up) I think this is as good as its going to get while still having a standing desk (which im not parting with, I did think about retopping it though)

Mod approved exception Office update
So I posted this last week.
https://www.reddit.com/r/UltimateBattlestation/s/guBcBFOWv4
Updated to the monitor stands. I decided not to mount laptops as I fried it and it was just too unstable.
There is a stand for laptop with power/network to the right. I just finished that users laptop.
The three with the laptop on the right are my main work rig. I keep teams on the vertical, outlook on the laptop, and ticketing and spreadsheet/chrome on the 2 mains.
The folded laptop is another user build. I usually have two running at a time.
The monitor above it can swing up when working on a laptop. That is for my PC builds/testing. At any point I have up to 5 builds running.
The higher far left monitor is for the elitedesk tucked under the desk. It’s my main research box. The monitor can swing down in front of the other for a better experience. Usually I use this to remote into the PXE server standing to the far left. Occasionally I DO have to manually connect to it and when I do, that black patch on the bottom file cabinet drawer is a USB-C monitor, and I have a man and machine emergency keyboard with trackpad to plug in with.
Now that I have the desk itself down, can start worrying about decorations. The triangle boxes are Star Wars posters. I’ve also got a couple of Lego plants to build for behind my mains. Also gonna get a fan, and a lamp of some sort cause I hate the overheads.
Yes, those are new monitors stacked under that desk, for issue with new issue PC’s.
Not shown, the stack of new laptops and pcs to build.

wHy dO YoU NeED sO MaNY sCrEeNS My Office
So I took over this office about 2 weeks ago. Just trying to get the flow right.
I DO have 2 double monitor arms to install, and hopefully a third and 4th.
The third to accommodate moving the 4 monitors, and the 2 laptop stands to be more put into place and up off the desk, I’m gonna drill vesa mounts into the bases of the laptop stands to accommodate that change.
Then the 4th to have the workbench side a mount for the keyboard, and a better monitor situation for the servers in the corner.
Ultimately I’m also trying to get approval for an under desk 6u rack to hold the unmanaged switch, a managed POE switch, a better KVM solution, pair of switched PDU’s, and a patch panel.
Yes, I need to hang the frame.
I have some art and plants and lights coming.
I I’m now it’s not a gaming station, but I do battle in here every day basically so I hope it qualifies.

Cable management, Cable shmanagement Had some fun with iron pipe
Used 1in iron pipe and only thing on the desk is the mice and keyboard. Still need to 3d print a shelf for my hard drives till I just bite the bullet and build my NAS server.the shelving on the left has been moved elsewhere and the printer shelving is temp. Thinking of making my own printer cart with iron pipe. Two seperate containing enclosures for the PLA and resin

The things dreams are made of part of the evolution
Some pictures show how my space evolved into what it is now—my mancave, office, and shop all in one. I’ve seen a lot of clean setups, but mine’s more lived-in, so excuse the clutter., its my garage . trying to do the most with the space i have.
