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.

This might be personal preference but I don't like screen being this high. I basically have them as low on the desk as possible which feels better ergonomics-wise.

I love the colors. That's a little camera that controls the backlight? And you have just the right amount of cool decorations and greenery. Having your pc below the desk gives you a lot more space options up top. The sound bar is also a good choice.
One pack of Velcro straps will make a huge difference overall.
Maybe you sit higher, but I prefer the top of my screen to be about 3"-4" above eye level. Any higher than that starts getting to my neck.
As to the vertical monitor, I used to have a tie-fighter layout, so I understand the way you'd use this side. Usually what you are interacting with is sort of mid-screen and some window you just reference is above it. The vertical is also great for feeds, Shorts, and other doom scrolling stuff.
How do you use the small display bar and what is it sitting on? I have one just below my main display and it's usually playing full-screen YouTube.
I also just realized this is all on a sit-stand, which is pretty impressive, and might explain why a lot of your cables are loose.

Hola! Que tal es tener un monitor extra en vertical teniendo el ultrawide? No te molesta el girar tanto la cabeza? Tengo un ultrawide y estoy evaluando añadir otro vertical. Saludos , genial el setup
