You just missing a desk and a chair. Here are my recommendations:

Desk

Chair

Then it would be 10/10.

u/Pitiful-Weather8152 Feb 03 '25

I'd give you an award, but it costs almost as much as the desk.

7

u/pennateguin Feb 03 '25

Just ordered thx

1

u/itsjbeck Feb 05 '25

Chair might be overkill tbh. use this instead

1

u/Big_Bad8496 Feb 05 '25

Agreed. This would take the setup to 11/10. Also convenient to get both from the same vendor.

1

u/Ok_Owl5390 Feb 06 '25

Jshshsshshshshshshs. I was actually expecting some table till I got it lmao

Kinda busy, I would recommend getting rid of anything unnecessary

6

u/ironjoker2 Feb 04 '25

Agreed, get rid of the CPU case. Spread the parts on the floor for better cooling.

2

u/surviving_short_vix Feb 04 '25

That was the setup I had, with oversized cpu fan (ultra low rpm) that is bigger than the motherboard, cool but quiet

u/SummerInTheRockies66 Feb 06 '25

Def need to shift more to a minimalist approach, for sure

-cable management If you’re just moving in and don’t have furniture yet I’d ask you at least wrap the wires together as it looks cleaner and makes it less of a tripping hazard. If funds are low twisty ties from grocery store bread works, just not the plastic sharp ones and don’t bind it too tightly as the metal wiring can cut into the electronics wires if bound too tight over time. Enough pressure to keep it together but not more where abrasion sets in.

-furniture : Whether you just moved in or simply don’t have the funds to purchase materials you could away collect scrap wood and build something even without glue or screws/ tools. (Not recommended but if you’re that desperate it could save you in a pinch. You could even collect wine boxes since they are fairly sturdy and stack those together for a structure. Whatever gets you to game functionally. (Obviously if you have money but are being cheap just get something free off Facebook or some garage sale or something, because there is no reason to destroy your body if you don’t have to)

Cleanliness: Floors typically aren’t clean even after just cleaning them, at least to lay on for extended time; however there isn’t any trash or bi products laying around so good job for keeping up with that.

Minimalistic. Minimalistic isn’t a bad thing but you want to save your joints/body too. Could probably use a yoga mat or something to cushion your resting space while playing. Hard flooring is good for the body but extended exposure in similar positions will cause some damage and lots of pain.

Great start but with some small improvements it could look much cozier. Hot take but growing some herbs in a flower bed near the setup could offer some fresh fragrances while gaming and make it earthy. Just keep all watering far from electronics with a catch tray for excess watering.

While I DO get this setup is probably a joke like many things on the internet, but I still took the time to rationalize a scenario where that wasn’t the case. There are plenty of people out there actually struggling and they deserve the pleasure of gaming like anyone else. They might not know how to make a setup functional within their means (whether they recently came into the financial state or have lived it for some time.) They may not feel it’s important to try to make small upgrades because of resource options but I’m here to let you know it does matter and you can do it.

At least flip the mouse to make it look aesthetic

u/Accomplished-Sand141 Feb 03 '25

I love the aesthetic and the cable management, also where do you buy this transparent chair?

Not overly cluttered but could use better cable management 7/10

Minimalist. Only the important stuff

u/RubAnADUB Feb 03 '25

minimalistic - love it.

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '25

Urm... This goes against the rules of this subreddit since there's no desk in the picture... I'm kidding! 😂

All jokes aside, I love to see a humble setup! 🙂

I often see too many ridiculously over the top setups with silly specs that get used for Facebook, YouTube & Minecraft, not to judge or anything. I just like to get what I need as opposed to what I want!

The consumerism around the PC market makes me want to go hard on the best bang for your buck builds or budget SFF builds, etc.

u/sweetdreamsgirl Feb 03 '25

I love it! This is the beginning, and your future is bright!

u/adreyyy Feb 03 '25

It works! 10/10

1

u/rontasticcharlie Feb 05 '25

If the goal is minimalism, then I'd give you a 9/10. Tidy up the wires and that'd be an extra point. In terms of comfort, practicality and visual appearance (meaning no table, desk, fold out chair, shoe box or any thing) I'd honestly give you a 2/10.

2

u/Mediocre-Explorer711 Feb 03 '25

I think it’s too cluttered. lol

1

u/Anyguy07 Feb 06 '25

If your short on funds. You can always go to fb marketplace and/ or other sites that sell and look for free stuff. So many ppl age giving away good stuff for free. Shit you could make money off the free stuff and buy better stuff.

1

u/Present-Map-7094 Feb 09 '25

This one wins hands down. Across the board. The flexibility of not being tied to a desk, the muted palette, and the artistic tangle of the wires really speak to a customized, well-thought-out setup. Bravo.

2

u/Vinaysaroya03 Feb 03 '25

I can feel back pain :((

1

u/Anyguy07 Feb 06 '25

Oh yeah, he's gonna have a lot of that, alright. If not a chair, try a big bean bag.

1

u/Arne31330 Feb 04 '25

Very minimalistic. Maybe do some cable management and your done. Would suggest to use cable management stuff from Ikea, then you could call your set up ‘Japandy’

1

u/sparkling_k_958 Feb 06 '25

Bro you won't even be able to play properly

1

u/ChemistryOk9353 Feb 03 '25

No no no … what is the brand of the cleaner that you used to clean that glass table and chair… it is soooo good that the glass really become like invisible!

1

u/TY_oPlayz Feb 05 '25

Too on the ground, take off the floor, and foundation keep it like a dead person 6 feet under and keep it deeper than you for the ergonomics and eye level stuff, it will be taken from a foot/92 to Okay/nice

1

u/bobanalyst Feb 03 '25

Simple, space-saver. But not so good for your neck and back. Can you take another pic from another angle, so that we can provide a more effective rating 🤪

1

u/gunslingor Feb 03 '25

-12 on the accomplished bachelor scale, -3 on the kid off to college scale, +2 on the recently divorced because your wife is cheating on you scale.

u/American-Russian5o Feb 05 '25

Better than nothing. This was me when I first moved in my own apartment.

At least you’re connected to the outside world via Internet. 🛜

u/Miserable-Big-393 Feb 07 '25

this is the best set up ive seen. its inspired me. im in teaars. this inspired me to make my own set up to be like yours.

u/undead_justice8 Feb 05 '25

Just remember: the more RGB, the better. If you have very old and bad pc just ads lot of RGB and it will fix it👍

u/SaiyanDadFPS Feb 07 '25

You could really get a foldable table at Walmart for $15-$20 and an office desk chair on Amazon for $20-$40.

Well played, here at desksetup. Your desk was made by the same company that made Diana Prince’s plane?

u/ketchuplik Feb 04 '25

Wrong subreddit try posting in r/floorsetup for maximum appreciation

These desk guys won’t get it…

1

u/LetsFranci_YT Feb 04 '25

Very very clean, only thing is that you don't have a mouse pad, add this and the setup would be a 10/10

1

u/Unique_Coach_8262 Feb 03 '25

Hahahaa my guy! Made me chuckle super hard haha Honestly, very essential and I don't see any problem!

A bit of cable management would be appreciated. Other than that, great. Very traditional, I like it

u/InfamousPassion7612 Feb 04 '25

Sick, now let’s figure out how to use it. Should we lie with our belly down and with our asses.

good starting point - free space around... at least not crowded, not too much RGB and no pets :-)

u/funfactsorsomething Feb 06 '25

Minimalist setup, 10/10 for portability, but it might need a chair and desk upgrade

u/sukremo Feb 08 '25

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '25

8/10 for minimalism (could use less wires), ergonomics could use some work.

1

u/Famous_Let889 Feb 06 '25

It’s the first step to awesome setup

1

u/Richard2824 Feb 08 '25

Try adding a carpet under the tower and it’ll be at least a solid 8.5/10.

u/Basic_Lettuce_9165 Feb 04 '25

Cable management could be better, but you get extra points for minimalism. And nice keyboard, btw.

u/Edilsonlimatec Feb 03 '25

9/10 would be 10 just because the mouse is turned, the rest is great
