Building the ULTIMATE IKEA Gaming Setup 

That's deep fake Jake. The real Jake is still trying to find his way out of IKEA.

4:10 is actually based on Cunningham’s Law: "the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."

4:48 Paid Jake 2.5 hours to try out chairs at IKEA, paid extra for the scene recreation.

"Premium IKEA Gaming setup" 4 words i never thought were used together

As a Norwegian, I'd just like to say that you as Canadians somehow are able to pronounce Swedish even worse than Americans.

I think you should get Simone Giertz on your channel. You could build her a storage solution or editing workstation and she could show you how not to murder the Swedish language.

3:18 Thats what my friend said when he saw a horse getting excited.

As someone from Sweden, it's hilarious to hear you guys pronounce the furniture names. Honestly, the names from ikea are pretty dumb and nonsensical, mainly names and whatever else. Their names are usually just sorted into categories depending on budget and quality, the names can be whatever but a whole line of furniture or other items are named the same to give you an idea of, okay, this is better, this is worse. Makes it easy to get what you want, the cheaper comes with sacrifices, the mid is usually decent and the higher can be surprisingly good depending on item. You know what ikea is usually used for in Sweden? Either for those on a really tight budget or those who want to outfit a whole new home but don't really care that much about quality, function or whatever. I went for a few trips there to get everything I didn't care about much, like some extra utensils for the kitchen that doesn't matter as long as they serve their functions, some food plates, glasses, shoehorns, candle holder and other crap that I just want to work and be cheap. Things like kitchen machines, furniture, quality frying pans and whatever else I got somewhere else, things where it matters if the quality is good and that you're actually going to have a lot of use for. Stuff like furniture, tables, couch etc I just get secondhand, is crazy cheap for things that once upon a time cost extremely much, like sofas/couches, usually these can cost around 3000$ new yet secondhand, still in great shape that can be used for many years ahead that you just need to clean a little and use some furniture treatment kits on depending on material, they are often sold for everything from 5% to 20% of what it cost new depending on wear and won't really be much worse than a new one. I also tend to hunt for beds secondhand, just gotta get one that seems well taken care of and then get a new mattress. They go for really cheap because some feel disgusted with someone else having used the bed for a long time, but I honestly don't get it, just change the mattress, you won't touch the actual "bed" underneath anyway. Well, that was a bit off topic, but no matter how much people laugh at IKEA, there's a good reason for it getting so widespread. It can provide things that look great and work good at prices way lower than the "authentic" stuff from brand name companies. I wouldn't recommend buying everything there but some things are perfectly fine to buy there and no matter how people complain about the do-it-yourself parts and how they bothersome or even of bad quality sometimes, it'll always be a great way to stock up on essentials or stuff you don't care much about and won't experience much stress from excessive use.

Linus, can you do a video describing what thermal paste tastes like plz. Thx.

I'm starting to think that at some point we will see the title "Building the ULTIMATE - BED BATH AND BEYOND - Gaming Setup" .... and i can't wait.

"If you want help really quickly, start doing it in like the stupidest way possible, and people will leap to your aid." -Linus (paraphrased)

Casually doing work on my computer My Cat: 3:55

As a Scandinavian i can say that pronunciation hurt 0:08...

I just realized that Linus actually has some pretty big arm abs

Is it bad i use a $30 fold up table and have no complaints?

10:56 Every man in a long-term relationship, ever.

Imagine if he said ”And this video is sponsored by IKEA”

“LEDberg - it sounds like an RGB City” - what a great joke that was not that much appreciated by Linus

As a swede, their attempts at pronouncing swedish words was hilarious lol

0:32 :oh shit here we go again Opening incognito mode

8:40 we all know Linus just wanted to flex and show off his guns lol

I really like the concept of this video. It's very easy to find all the parts here in Germany (where IKEA is even one of the more "cheap" furniture stores, furniture is pretty expensive here), which can't be that easy sometimes. Keep up the good work and stay healthy!

He may not have a deep voice but he has ARM ABS 8.40

"you can get rgb strips from ikea now?" i got mine 6 years ago...

Holy crap, anyone see how beast his arms are at 8:41 ?

As a person missing one arm, I felt extra special when he said; ‘look at you wrist... feel like your missing something

Why do I take tech advice from people that can't even IKEA properly?

"And the video is brought to you by..." looks intensely at the script 00:34

I actually went out and did a similar build after seeing this video, though I did get different legs and opted for an Alex unit on one side. Nonetheless, one of the best decisions I've ever made! Looks great and it's amazing to have one continuous surface for all my stuff.

I did the "wood" counter top from Ikea for my desk setup. I really like it, and it was the cheapest way to have a 6ft wide desk.

"LEDburg...it sounds like an RGB city!" Contender for nerdiest joke of the year?

I swear your editors are great, I watch videos as an editor instead of as a normal watcher and they do an awesome job

1 Home Depot Slab Door + 2 Husky Metal Saw Horses = Under $100 Desk

5:50 Instead of removing a monitor, you could (hear me out now), Put it UNDER the desk. I'm old fashioned, I know.

0:34 I was expecting "You know what I CAN integrate? This message from our sponsor!"

Next, you should see if people can send you the LIDL gaming equipment.

I've got one of those plastic folding tables, a Subaru seat bolted to the bottom of a swivel chair, and three monitors that are all different resolutions

I've been searching for a tabletop for so many hours because all of them were too big or too small, but in this video you showed me the perfect one. Thanks.

I hate how the industry standard for " Ultimate" nowadays is just standard stuff with RGB.

As a Swede. The pronounciation of the Swedish words hurts right in the soul.

Linus: *complains about Logitech branding sticker* Also Linus: “battle station isn’t fully set up until the monitor has an LTT logo as the wallpaper”

0:35 *checks real quick on the script if he got the sponsor name right*

I use the same trestle legs for my desk as they use in the video, and Linus is right, they're plenty sturdy, even with no way to secure the desk to them. I used to use just the legs that they have in the middle of the desk. I had 4 on each corner and one in the middle and it was extremely wobbly. I ended up removing the 4 end ones and instead going for the trestle legs and they work wonders. They have rubber on top so the desk doesn't move around, and once you add any weight onto the tabletop at all, it's real solid.

12:04 "They're like yelling at me, in RGB" literally 2019

Points off for not having swing arm monitor mounts. Probs could have fit all three monitors.

5:11 "i gotta do some pushin on THIS cushion" 😂

8:53 that VGA cable chilling under the desk made my day

The Fredde desk is amazing. Fits 2 27" gaming monitors side by side. lol, my whole set-up is from ikea (minus the computer)

I'm only liking the vid cause I’m a swedish person and I just love how you pronounced ”Möjlighet” 😂 (Möjlighet means Opportunity in Swedish)

The Karlby is soooo nice. I have the Walnut as well and it looks so good. Ikea does some things really good and Karlby is one of them (Billy, Detolf & Kallax are some others).

It would be cool if Windows accent colors could be synced with an RGB controller

6:31 "there appears to be a bit of a logistical problem..." just put the pc on the floor?

Ikea gaming setup Basically every home ever

8:41 I never knew linus was that ripped 😳

“They are yelling at me in RGB” -Linus’s Wisdom Nuggets

You should make a video on which are the best RGB light strips.

Except your desk top is actually a kitchen countertop, but yes - that is the preferred IKEA setup. Mine is legless, since I got concrete walls - I used the beefiest brackets I could find.

Linus do be flexing with his “arm abs”

9:15 wHy aRE YOu NOt BEliEvING mE When I'm SAiYinG ThINgS

I gotta say LTT content lately has been GREAT! Nonbiased, informative, entertaining reviews and the LTTStore shoutouts are hilariously timed. Keep it up Linus 👍

not my fav choice on the chair, Markus is the way to go for me since it offers a lot of ventialtion for my back

i have those exact legs, and while it is kinda weird that you cant attach them to your tabletop, if your table is heavy enough it doesnt really move, especially if you change the foam pads on the top for something grippier like silicone or rubber furniture pads (like the kind you use on furniture legs). I would recommend them, they're literally 15 bucks and super sturdy (no wobble, no flex)

Ive used 2 gerton countertops under 3 alex drawers. Looks sick

Has anyone else noticed that all these "gaming" setups have 0 space for mouse movement :o

How sturdy does the desk feel on those legs? They look a little too thin for that heavy top?

IKEA Lerberg: 15$ Listening to Jake trying to pronounce Swedish names: Priceless

8:11 "AAahhh, these socks"

4:13 TODAY I LEARNED SOMETHING !! THANKS

I saw this video a year ago and bought that headphone stand. Now a year later I finally found this video again and learned how to use it. I feel stupid.

U didn't use Alex as the table legs *DISAPPOINTMENT LEVEL 100*

As a Swede I should let you know, It's not pronounced i-kea, it has a long "e" sound at the start, instead of a long "i" sound.

4:00 "Stop it. Get some help."

I’m glad that I’m not the only one that tests audio by hitting the volume change button so it makes the sound.

Ultimate Ikea Setup No Markus chair choose one.

0:32 Someone make this a gif...

I can never put one of my monitors bent like that ,it takes sooo much space on the desk so I just put both of them straight next to each other so I have more desk space.

4:00 is that what everyone I ever see anywhere is always doing? THIS WHOLE TIME! I should've known.

6-ft folding table (with carry handle) = 72$ CAD Best desk I've ever had. Can fit 2 PC setups without speakers for LAN parties, easy to move and very versatile.

Who's the chair testing guy? I like his contribution

the dramatic recreation of the testing of chairs had me dying

i just got those speakers. So happy with my choice

Idea behind ikea chairs: "The chairs have to be uncomfortable enough, so you want to get up". Sitting the whole day is bad, therefore chairs should not be designed to be super comfortable. Standing desks for the win!

I love how the candian Gerberg (or whatever his name was) has no place for screws. My german one has 2 screw holes in it xD

Thank you so much. Where you all reading my mind BTW? I have been in IKEA lately looking for new desk parts.

Honestly it looks really nice and would want most of that stuff for a set up

If only IKEA didn't discontinue the L shaped GALANT series. Easily the best desk I've ever used.

11:52 Jake's getting PTSD 😂

I was expecting that this video was gonna be sponsored by IKEA.

3:52 LST "Linus Swipe Tips"

"I need to do some pushing in this Cushing" :D GOLD.

linus: * looks skinny* ARM ABS * is secretly Swole* me: WHAT THE FRICK FRACK DIDDLY DACK CADLE BACK ROOK SAC DO MY EYES DECEIVE ME??

for all the perfectionist out there. look at 12:50 at the split from the two minitors. One is angles.

Gets an entire shop for Alex. Cant spend 5 seconds showing people how to use a metal bit.

'You can't please all subreddits all at once' - Linus Sebastian

I built mine out of some 2x4's and a piece of plywood. Less than 20 bucks!

As a Swedish person it is hilarious when Americans try to say names of products from ikea.

Rip Tyler. You will be missed

"They are yelling at me in RGB" bruh

4:09 Listen up, kids. That's how a MAN asks for help 😤 😂
