The Best Desk Setup for $500! #Helpful Post

kay Jonathan here welcome back to

another episode of the best death setup

this time we got a $500 budget and

compared to the tuna our challenge last

time that is quite a bit more to play

around with you guys asked for a dark

theme death setup so that is what we are

rolling with so jump into the desk for

this setup I went with a liniment and

Alex combo from Ikea in a black brown

finish and what I really like about it

is the fact that its module in the sense

that you can configure the drawer to sit

on either side there's tons of space and

what the drawer you get three smaller

compartments one large compartment and

the best thing about slaves is the

entire desk is under 130 bucks so next

up for those you caught the latest

episode of the best tech on our 50 I

showcase the bright tech USB desk lamp

but actually liked it so much and

because two is better than one for this

setup I am wrong with a pair I think my

favorite thing about this lamp is how

simple but aesthetically satisfying it

is it looks great next to a computer or

monitor and it really adds a ton of

warmth and character to the setup I

really dig the symmetry of two of these

paired on a desk and on top of that they

have a stealth USB port on the side that

you can use to charge your phone

so next up a lab without a light bulb is

like peanut butter without jelly lamb

without tuna fish and with that said

what I'm doing inside these guys is the

Philips hue white ambient starter kit

and Hugh shot the bills for sponsoring

this setup so to make it you get to what

MA it's a 19 light bulb a hue bridge

which you can then use to expand your

system later down the road it was cool

as you also get a dimmer switch that you

can use to control your lights when you

don't want to reach for your phone now

the warmth of these lights tare with the

lamp creates this really beautiful look

that really catches and bounces off the

desk

beyond the mesmerizing warm light not

only they have control from warm to

bright white you can also just seem but

here we're going from relaxed to read to

concentrate to energize you can see how

useful this could be depending on the

time of the day now just like the last

video the computer is not a factor in

the price point of the setup thumbs up

both are excited to see a non apple

computer in the video what I am

including with this budget though is a

really cool pair of wireless Bluetooth

speakers so these be JBL djembe BTS and

what I mean by Wireless is they alighted

it's the aux cable or a USB cable and

connect directly to your computer

wirelessly by a bluetooth now you're not

going to be able to avoid cables

completely because you do need to

connect to power and these to each other

but having that one less cable does help

keep things clean the compact design and

the gunmetal ash gray finished look

fantastic next to the speakers and the

light and while these may not be the

biggest speakers in the world they pack

a really good punch for the size and are

going to be a fantastic upgrade over

stock computer speakers now if you're

wondering where all those cables when

I'm using the exact same Channel cable

raceway as the last set up in front of

20 bucks this thing is a lifesaver it

attaches to a 3m adhesive to the back of

the desk and you can see how well it

works you pair that with a couple cable

drops and you got a super clean and tidy

setup so close it up the setup in the

last video I saw a lot of comments in

the vein of cool setup bro but where is

the chair now because we have a higher

budget to mess around with this time I

got you so this is a poly embark in

style molded plastic chair which is

pretty much a clone of the Herman Miller

version it's a fraction of the price and

honestly most people aren't going to be

able to tell the difference if you had

these two side-by-side these come in a

ton of different color combinations but

I think the dark plastic makes the

Darkwood legs really complement this

setup well but seriously if you've been

eyeing that Herman Miller chair but

don't want to drop that kind of cash

these for under 70 bucks are really

really good so that brings us to a grand

total of around 460 bucks and that means

you have some room to play around with

whether it's accessories cable

management hell maybe you want to swap

out the chair the speakers it is not

meant to be an exact piece-by-piece

replica for you to copy more so just for

inspiration and ideas aside from that I

would love to see your setup so hit me

up on Instagram Twitter show me what you

got and if you haven't seen the last

episode or dream desk yet check those

out here this is Jonathan and I will

catch you guys later
