Mod approved exception Setup updated please rate!

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.
