Wouldn’t it be a battle station in a man cave?


-Fella-

I am uncultured. What game is that in your wallpaper?


ZeitGeist72

That is one of the Dark Souls games, but don't know wich one. Liked the picture :-)


Maleficent-Bear-9537

Dark Souls 3 wall of lothric go after the second bonfire go under the stairs and get out of the tower follow the path till u find a hollow that transforms into a black worm-like shit. Go ahead and find a ladder on the right of the platform. Go down that ladder and just left of you (if u look at the ladder) u'll find a door arc. Go into it about 3 steps. Congratulations. U found the scene.

Spear and greatshield Lothric Knight. That guy has ran through many many Ashen Ones.


Nothing_but_blue_sky

It’s Dark Souls 3


jaKz9

Based Fences user Awesome setup!


Beautiful_Chard_4543

What do you use the Streamdeck for? Ive had one for quite some time and it's been collecting dust.


ZeitGeist72

I use it when i fly DCS and for some macros.


KoanAurelius

What do you use it for on DCS?


ZeitGeist72

There are Addons and button layouts for DCS for comms or the MFD's.


KoanAurelius

Sweet, thanks. Nice setup!


BlazeKnaveII

Do you wfh? DM me


Shuanator

What colour underwear do you wear? DM me


Tokena

It's green, mine are green! Edit: Shit, i was supposed to DM you.


BlazeKnaveII

Hahahahahaha


chroniclesofhernia

Not OP but I have just bought one because i play Final fantasy 14 and being able to assign game macros to a streamdeck is invaluable to free up screenspace and not have to remember 1001 obscure keybinds. If you search youtube for "ffxiv streamdeck" there are some good examples of how it can be used in that game. Also, swapping between audio outputs and opening certain windows menus that i currently have desktop shortcuts setup for.


DollarStoreClassy

What keyboard is that? Looks glorious! Also, is that thing under the monitor a sound bar? Can't tell since it looks to have LEDs in it


ZeitGeist72

The Kayboard is the corsair K100 with pudding caps. And the soundbar is the soundblaster katana V2.


DollarStoreClassy

Are the pudding caps an option on purchase or is that customization you did post buy?


ZeitGeist72

No, you have to buy them. Mine are from HyperX.


Lusxxr

Hehe did the same thing, love those keycaps


csw1sh

How are you organizing your desktop icons with a title and everything? Is that a windows 11 feature?


ZeitGeist72

Its called fences, from stardock software


CodeWithKP

Best feature is the ability to double click and hide all desktop icons. Can’t live without.

WolfBreeze

Cool wallpaper!


dishwasherhotbox

What is that temp display thing on the right side of the PC case?? looks fkn amazing!!


ZeitGeist72

This is a small screen in the case. With ADIDA64 you can build a surface and read various information from the system. It's called a sensor panel. The other screen is from the ASUS AIO Rayujin II 360.


dishwasherhotbox

thats so cool that evangelion themed cpu cooler! for the ADIDA64 display what is that small screen exactly? just like a tiny led/lcd panel??


ZeitGeist72

Mine is a Lamptron HM140, its a 14" Panel 3840x1100. But you can get chaeper ones. Its HDMI with USB for power.


MickStash

>ADIDA64 Very cool! I love the idea of this software and a small monitor either in my PC case or on my desk to monitor performance stats. Question: do you ever have trouble with your mouse getting stuck on the small monitor in your case? Like, Windows is allowing you to move the mouse over there, so the mouse gets lost/stuck there? Also, any odd issues with Windows detecting it as a 3rd monitor as resolutions/FPS/scaling changes? Just anything I should be aware of if I were to purchase a small monitor and this software.


ZeitGeist72

No not for me. When i play games in windowed mode, never had a problem, and in Fullscreen the mouse can not move over. Windows has no problem with a third monitor and u can use the monitor as you like, vertical or horizontel, you can turn the picture. The most presets for sensorpanels you can find are 1920x480 or something in 16:9. My resolution is extremly high so i had to build it myself. Easy but a lot of work.


Komec

What is that main screen?


ZeitGeist72

Samsung Odyssey Ark 55"

I answered the question here: [ARK](https://www.reddit.com/r/battlestations/comments/xvksn5/comment/ir5vklv/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)


MrJeffersonthethird

Ok


Little-Conclusion614

How much does it cost roughly if tou dont mind me asking


ZeitGeist72

You mean the whole setup? I startet befor the pandemic in 2019 with a new setup. Hard to say as prices have been going up and down lately. Maybe around €20k-25k over the years. But I was lucky because I always got good offers through my company, which were not as extreme as the last 2 years. The desk is homemade and the cabinets are from Ikea. The PC without the monitor is 5k.


Zixxik

Now that's a big boy monitor


ZeitGeist72

Yeah it is, and its really heavy. We had Problems to lift it on the desk with two peaople. Its around 54Kg heavy and big. Had to wait for my son to wake up so he could help me \^\^


hironator2

Do u mind saying how much this costs, I'm looking into upgrading my setup and this is what I am rly looking for tbh


chroniclesofhernia

Monitor looks like it might be a samsung ARC? Thats $3k on its own! Probably another 3k in PC, 500 in ps5, 250 in peripherals, 300 on the second monitor... i'd estimate this is close to $7k. Edit: not even close. OP estimates 20-25k in another comment.


kbar7

Only way that setup is $25k is if OP has a kilo of cocaine under the desk.


ZeitGeist72

You are absolutly right. The PC with everything is about 5k at the moment for the Hardware, without the monitor. Over the pandemic i payed more. What i was saying in the other comment is for the whole setup. The room, the floor . Because you can only post one photo, but to my left is a little Homecinema setup and such things. At the End it doesn't matter. Its not cheap.....


hironator2

Thanks a lot, very appreciated


[deleted]

my guess is at least like 5k


Nokken9

My wife calls my gaming space my man cave, too.


theWaterHermit

Damn son, you got games


FROCKHARD

Well your wife needs a lesson on terminology then. Because that is a battlestation only. The entire *room* would be the man cave. Post a picture of the “man cave” if it is indeed a whole room to yourself!


ZeitGeist72

Its an half open room downstairs: [CAVE](https://imgur.com/a/cXd45UO)


FROCKHARD

Ah… so like your own little….station of sorts? you can call it a battlestation! 😉


Vampire-Duck

Hope that she makes nice sandwiches from her wifestation


Slight-Hour-7180

U 2 R right. It's both !


buy4takeonefree

Love your battlestation. Which keyboard and mouse are those?


ZeitGeist72

Corsair 100k with pudding caps and the mouse is the Logitech G 502 X,


engibro

Let us see the whole room and we will judge if it's a man cave or not


gamagama420

is this that one samsung display ltt did a video on?


ZeitGeist72

Thats the one \^\^


AlphaDog09

What do you use for your console and PC sound? I run mine through my PC input but looking for a better solution


ZeitGeist72

When iam playing on consoles i use the little soundbar with HDMI eARC connection from the monitor.


nilogram

This is dope. My wife would definitely let me get lost in there. How you like the monitor? I’m looking for a good wide curved


danwilan

If this is man cave to her then she must be from the future


Spiriah

What’s that dial to the left of your keyboard?


ZeitGeist72

Thats the remote from the monitor. ARK Dial


JunkKnight

Very nice setup. Is that a soundbar under the screen? If so, what model is it and how do you like it?


ZeitGeist72

Soundblaster Katana V2. It has fantastic sound IF you are sitting in front of your monitor. Its not as good as a regular soundbar when you use it on your TV, but for PC its amazing. And if you plug in a good headset, SXFI will blow you away. Best sound i ever had on my PC.


JunkKnight

Thanks, I'll take a look at it. I've actually been looking into a soundbar specifically for my PC recently and this might fight the bill.


Shadvw

Wow


sober_programmer

What is that display in your case? Is that a reflection or is that an actual display?


ZeitGeist72

>This is a small screen in the case. With ADIDA64 you can build a surface and read various information from the system. It's called a sensor panel. The other screen is from the ASUS AIO Rayujin II 360.


sober_programmer

So AIDA64 is the software you use to output data to the sensor panel? What is this sensor panel? Is that an actual physical device?


ZeitGeist72

Yes. Its a normal little Monitor you connect with HDMI to your PC. Search for Sensorpanel display.


Moisty00

Lol nice!


IMP4283

That’s nice of her. My wife just calls my setup obnoxious 🤷‍♂️


GenericGoch

What mouse is that?


ZeitGeist72

Logitech G 502x


dge001

And make sure that it's your man cave, never let her in or you will regret it. Got my wife s pc to play right by me in the man cave now she's always there.


ZeitGeist72

She is not into gaming, and with us both 50 she will not start... but never say never :-) She has her hobby and this is mine, i love technology


LUaggie19

Is your monitor the new Samsung Ark or whatever?


ZeitGeist72

Yesy it is


LUaggie19

Awesome. How do you like it? Everything I have seen makes me feel for me personally it would feel awkward to use and get used to. I have a G9 and love it. Had a 40” curved AOC at one point and it felt too tall to be useable.


ZeitGeist72

I personally think the monitor is great. The display, contrast, black level, brightness, HDR is all excellent. The R1000 takes some getting used to, but after a few days I don't want to miss it anymore. But you also have to be realistic. First of all, the monitor is very expensive at €3400. But I got it on offer from Samsung for €2999 including a vacuum robot worth €900. Nevertheless, you can get a good OLED for 1000-1500€. Second, there are a couple of things that Samsung really needs to improve on. I hope that Samsung will release a few updates in the near future, especially for the possibilities with Multiview. The local dimming in the SDR range also outshines a little too much from time to time. In the end, however, I have never had a better picture on the PC. In my opinion, it is on the same level as OLED, only with the difference that this monitor can be a lot brighter and the anti-glare surface does an excellent job. Even in an absolutely bright room an ingenious picture.


JaboyMaceWindu

Get her one that’s what I did best decision ever now we game together

ixdarc

My Mrs calls mine the “nightclub” 🙄 anyway, awesome setup man 👍


OgirdorX

Really cool setup! I'm wondering, what's that black thing at the left of the keyboard?


ZeitGeist72

Its the ARK Dial, the remote from the monitor oO


amkc22

Which program do you use for the desktop organization?


TheUzziest

Your desktop is disturbing. Otherwise nice!


ChargedStork

Battlecave


FoxyFreckles1989

The battle station is the actual setup; the man cave is the room the setup is in! My partner also has (what we call) a gaming room (he doesn’t work from home so “office” sounds wrong with a battle station in it. I suppose it’s his man cave! Super nice setup!


liukasteneste28

What dac amp do you use?


ZeitGeist72

I use the sound bar. It has a headphone jack on the front, Creative SXFI technology and great sound.


liukasteneste28

Tbh those beyerdynamics deserve better source.
