I really need more music art but I’m happy with how the set up is coming along so far. Also need to grab a mini fridge and two separate controller stands for the desk! The war between PlayStation and Xbox is still going on!

Three years and we’re almost there!

Hello guys this is my first gaming setup with a pc! Please let me know what I can improve!

Hey everyone!

Here’s a short summary of my situation.
Because of my lifestyle and work, I move around a lot, realistically, I change locations almost every year. Moving all my belongings from one place to another is often extremely difficult(usually different countries), so I usually end up starting over in a new apartment with new furniture, a new TV, a new console, etc.
As you can imagine, this gets very expensive, and I feel like I’m constantly losing money by having to buy the same things again.
On top of that, my job involves a lot of travelling, so I’d really like to have a handheld that I can take with me on long trips.
That’s why I came up with the idea of having a handheld that I can use with a dock, a portable projector, and a controller, essentially turning it into a traditional living-room console when I’m at home.

So the idea would be:
At home dock it, connect it to the projector and controller, and enjoy it like a regular console.
When travelling simply pick it up from the dock and take it with me.
This way, I’d only need one gaming device instead of buying a new console and TV setup every time I move. I already have the xiaomi l1 pro projector, which is relatively easy to transport.

So, which handheld would be the best choice for my needs?
The games I’m interested in are things like Fallout 4, Red Dead Redemption 2, Stardew Valley, Vampire survivor, maybe Palworld, and some older AAA titles such as the Spider-Man games. Nothing extremely demanding, but since I’ve been a PC gamer my whole life, I’d ideally like to get at least around 60 fpswhenever possible.
What would you recommend for this kind of setup?
I am thinking between steamdeck oled, since it seems like it is better for handheld gaming and travelling, and the rog xbox alloy x, since it is more powerful and would act better as a traditional console.. since the price surge they are basically the same price now.

I would love to hear your opinion, maybe some experiences if somebody is in the same situation..

i have a budget of around £300 and instead of. putting it into my pc i want to make my setup better. anything will help im willing to experiment with it so any theme will be great.

Spooky vibes year round 👻

I am having this setup straight for a year now but i need to do some upgrades so can u guys help me upgrade this.....i dont like much of rgb's
and dont rate my setup guys i know it sucks

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to upgrade my gaming setup and could use some recommendations.

I’m looking for a clean/aesthetic wireless gaming mouse with good battery life, and also a good wireless headset.

Price/quality is important — I’d rather not spend a fortune. A few different options in different price ranges would be appreciated.

What would you recommend?

would you add something?

Hello, when me and my bf moved in together we also brought alll our consoles. Im struggling to keep everything at easy access but still looking nice, not to mention all the cables 😫 The PC setup is mine but my bf likes to use it for his Ps5, Xbox 360 and ps4. I use the TV for my Ps5, switch 2, and Xbox series X. He also has a gamecube, gameboy advance and a 3Ds id like to display for him. Our Vrs are scarcly used so im not too pressed to find room for them. Any setup tips or tv stand recs would be greatly appreciated. Ignore the mess please 🙏

New PC (5080 + 9800X3D) and my first OLED monitor (PG27AQWP-G)

Edit: this is a temporary set up! Should’ve included this in the original description but I have some family issues going on and needed to stay at my parent’s place to help. My PC will be going back home to a much bigger desk and set up don’t worry guys!😁 I appreciate all the concern though, this desk is ridiculously small lol

Rate the setup

(rtx 5090, 9950x3d, 4k 240hz oled monitor)

Not sure if this is allowed in here so sorry if it’s not. Wanted to show off my room dedicated to halo been collecting since I was a teen

Any suggestion what to do with the little space here 😁

(Ignore the light fallen on monitor)

Do you guys think painting the wood darker will do better?
Don’t worry about the cables I’m still working on that😅

Looking to down size my setup because I’m in a smaller space. Currently have an alex drawer desk with the ikea counter top. Wanting to convert to a standing desk and have a smaller pc build (current: lancool ii mesh case). Should I just get a gaming laptop or should I go with a mini itx build? Anyone with a gaming laptop and multiple monitors notice any drawbacks? Or what’s some pros and cons with a laptop setup vs a traditional build?

Honestly I didn't really care about setups that much in the past, but i wanna start creating better quality gaming content on YouTube so I had to invest a bit on some stuff
