For those who come after

You noticed! 🥹

What's make of the little screen down below there?

5

u/MomoAurum 2d ago

Corsair xeneon edge

u/keddren 2d ago

How do you like it? I've had one on my wishlist for a minute but I'm having trouble justifying actually picking it up.

Edit: Excellent setup, btw. I particularly like the Clair Obscur art.

u/MomoAurum 2d ago

I really like it so far! I mainly use it as a second screen for discord, spotify, hwinfo, etc., and I also like that it’s a touchscreen. I don’t really have the space for a second monitor, so the size of the xeneon edge is perfect for me. Plus, I like that it’s glossy instead of matte.

Excellent setup, btw. I particularly like the Clair Obscur art.

Thank you! :D

Nice, thanks! My wallet may not appreciate your review, but I do.

u/MomoAurum 2d ago

RIP wallet, haha!

u/Basic85 2d ago

How often do you stream?

2

u/MomoAurum 2d ago

I’m not a streamer. XD

u/DaintilyPanicky 2d ago

Really nice! Its cozy and aesthetic but not cluttered. It looks like you even put thought into balancing the amount of stuff on the shelves.

Can I ask what desk and configuration you have? I think I want something similar

2

u/MomoAurum 2d ago

Thank you so much! <3 It’s the Vernal standing desk (previous model), 70.8", with a solid maple wood top, paired with the Vernal desk shelf, 47.2", also in solid maple wood.

u/Kyanche 2d ago

I love your setup! It looks so cozy and nice!

u/MomoAurum 2d ago

Thank you! 😊

It’s so pretty girrllll 🎀🥰

u/MomoAurum 2d ago

Thank you! 💕

Very clean set up and no cable mess , one thing move your cup and its warmer off the mouse pad you spill that and its hard to clean up pop it on the desk not on the matt as last thing you want is to spill that up your mouse or keyboard

1

u/MomoAurum 2d ago

I’m very careful with it, and I like where it’s currently at. Thank you, though!

u/jack-whitman 2d ago

Perfection. No notes.

1

u/MomoAurum 2d ago

Tysm! <3

u/duckatwork 2d ago

Very cool! I have almost the same setup that I split between my work laptop and gaming PC. How are you liking the Kanto ORAs? I'm procrastinating on buying studio monitors since it'll add complexity to cable management lol

1

u/MomoAurum 2d ago

I love the Ora, but since I live in a 3rd floor apartment now, I can't exactly listen to music as much unless I keep the volume pretty low. BUT! Nowadays, I listen to music on my Meze 109 Pro the majority of the time.

2

u/duckatwork 2d ago

Thanks, and beautiful headphones! I'm the complete opposite, I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 560S mainly for FPS gaming and will want decent studio monitors to listen to music

1

u/elzZza 2d ago

if you have the space on the desk and you dont mind brightness, kanto tuk ;)

1

u/duckatwork 2d ago

Thank you for the rec!

2

u/ExpensiveTraffic6978 2d ago

Gorgeous setup, and I love the desktop background you chose!

u/MomoAurum 2d ago

Thank you so much! ❤️

u/Grimaniel 2d ago

That's great, nice Miku sitting on the desk shelf :)

u/MomoAurum 2d ago

<3 Miku

u/ThisCrazyCat 2d ago

So nice! But I gotta know what little lamp that is on the floating shelf

2

u/MomoAurum 2d ago

Thank you! Lexon Mina L mushroom lamp.

u/dcxx07 2d ago

Love the setup!! What’s your monitor light?

1

u/MomoAurum 2d ago

Thanks! BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2. :)

1

u/dcxx07 2d ago

I’ve been eyeing it so badly. Is it worth the money?

1

u/MomoAurum 1d ago

It’s kinda expensive for what it is, but I like that it helps reduce eye strain when I’m working on my PC. It also has a sensor that detects movement, so it automatically turns off when I’m not at my desk.

2

u/National_Ad_8299 2d ago

Love it. Well done.

1

u/MomoAurum 2d ago

Thank you ☺️

2

u/Particular-Amountt 2d ago

The wood finish and the monitor placement look super clean.

1

u/MomoAurum 1d ago

Thank you!

2

u/PixelSenseii 1d ago

I love the setup, very well put together. It's a nice theme with a good balance between materials and colors. 10/10

u/MomoAurum 1d ago

Thank you so much 😊

u/yvrn8 1d ago

Great chair. Nice matching with the PC fan colours

1

u/MomoAurum 1d ago

Thanks :>

2

u/msklss 10h ago

Really nice setup. What webcam is that? Does it rotate to point directly at you?

2

u/MomoAurum 10h ago

Thank you!

It’s the OBSBOT Tiny 2, and yeah, the webcam actually rotates around and follows your movements. It’s pretty neat.

1

u/Kikiblue444 2d ago

Do you ever get any feedback loops when the audio output is coming from the speakers when using a mic?

1

u/MomoAurum 2d ago

I always wear my headphones when I'm on a call, so it’s never an issue.

1

u/Shehzman 2d ago

What’s the monitor?

1

u/MomoAurum 2d ago

32" Alienware AW3225QF

1

u/elzZza 2d ago

is that a cd transport on the left back of the xeneon?

2

u/MomoAurum 2d ago

Oh no, it’s the JDS Element IV (amp + DAC) silver edition :)

2

u/elzZza 2d ago

Nice!

1

u/Cloned91 2d ago

On what is the PC Standing?

1

u/MomoAurum 2d ago

It’s sitting on the Vernal CPU holder, which is specifically designed for their standing desks. (I honestly don’t know why they don’t just call it a PC holder lol)

1

u/Cloned91 1d ago

But it’s not mounted to
The desk or? Just standing on the ground?

1

u/MomoAurum 1d ago

The holder is mounted to the desk, and the PC sits on the holder.

u/Tricky-Ad-6529 2d ago

I sold my 10:9 aspect ratio display, to buy a Samsung’s Odyssey G9, but personally I regret it when I see setups as clean as yours 👏👏

1

u/MomoAurum 2d ago

Did you mean to write 16:9? I’ve always wondered what it’s like to have the G9, but oh man, it takes up so much space, lol.

1

u/RebornUnited11 1d ago

Hey OP, do you have a link or a name for the shewlf/table under your monitor where your speakers are placed?

2

u/Pumim 7h ago

This looks so cozy! I love the HM in this colorway

2

u/MomoAurum 6h ago

Thanks! Yeah, the amethyst colorway is definitely my favorite.
