This simple, yet clean Battlestation, originally posted on Reddit by klawUK, shows that taking simple building blocks and putting them together can create a highly impactful setup. The light use of RGB around the desk and Lian Li case takes the setup from being understated to a super clean and nicely put together Battlestation.

Specs

Probably the most popular and trendy 49" ultrawide monitor is the Samsung Odyssey G9. As far as a perfect monitor for a ultrawide Battlestation goes, this is still the gold standard in 2024. The Odyssey G9 is certainly pulling its own weight with full 4K (5120x1440p) resolution, 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03 pixel response time.

The cool Lego spaceman wall art was built using a creative set Lego Art Project.

The sideways mounted desk speakers are the Kanto YU2 in white

The desk is from IKEA and supported by a Flexispot desk leg base. (Not pictured but reported by klawUK in the original post)

The white, window panel case is the Lian Li Lancool II which has a tempered glass window on the side of the case and a front semi see-through mesh for your air intake.

Standing Desk

Sitting all day? Did years of working at a computer slump your posture? Boost your health and posture by investing in a standing desk. Research shows that standing desks promote better posture, reduce the risk of muscular and skeletal issues and encourage movement. There are other non-medical benefits to getting a standing desk such as its potential to boost productivity and provide flexibility in the workspace. Flexispot offers a wide range of desk accessories such as standing desk leg conversions as well as desk mounted standing desk solutions.

Monitor Light

The main health benefit of using a monitor light or monitor mounted light bar is that they reduce eye strain during longer sessions, especially in dimly lit rooms and at night. Monitor lights can also reduce glare or reflections on your monitor.

There are as many monitor mounted lamps an light bars as there are stars in the sky but this setup is using a Quntis remote controlled light as seen on Amazon. If you are not looking for a remote controlled monitor light there are other options such as the little brother in the same series of monitor lamps by Quntis.
