Chic Gamer & Streamer Office Tour | Tech, Setup, and Organization

Introduction

Welcome, everyone! I'm M Vander, and today I'm thrilled to take you on a tour of my office space. Streaming for the past four years has equipped me with invaluable knowledge about the gear I need and what’s worth investing in. I've learned to streamline my setup, and I'm excited to share my current tech, products I recommend, and some items on my wishlist. So, come along as I show you where the magic happens!

Creating My Serene Space

As a streamer and gamer, it was crucial to design a space that resonates with my personality. My home is generally airy and light, and this room is no exception. It serves multiple purposes: work, content creation, and sometimes, even a cozy nap space. The aesthetics are calming, making it the perfect haven for productivity and creativity.

The Heart of My Setup

Let's dive into my main gear. I have a sleek custom-built PC courtesy of CyberPower, crafted to handle all my streaming needs effortlessly. I'm sporting three monitors, which I utilize in a distinct arrangement: my main monitor for gameplay, a vertical monitor for the control panel or Twitch chat, and another for OBS.

In terms of audio, I'm using the Shure MV7 USB microphone, which provides phenomenal sound quality. A ring light by Elgato illuminates my face beautifully, and though my lighting setup is unbalanced, I'm looking forward to adding another key light for consistency.

Organization Matters

To keep my workspace tidy, I rely on various storage solutions. I prefer a keyboard tray to maximize my tabletop space for makeup, cocktails, or snacks while streaming. Small carts and baskets help me house makeup and tech essentials, making them easily accessible yet organized.

Bookshelves also play a significant role in keeping my space clutter-free, allowing me to store tech gadgets and random office necessities neatly.

The Commentary Area

Adjacent to my desk, there's a designated area for filming commentary videos and get-ready-with-me sessions. Makeup and skincare items are stored within arm’s reach, ensuring everything I need is organized and within reach.

Lighting and Aesthetics

Natural light floods my office, but I've incorporated soundproofing panels to optimize audio quality during my streams. These panels have helped tremendously in reducing background noise from the air conditioning unit outside.

The aesthetics of my office align with my brand colors of gray, white, and pink, creating a cohesive and chic atmosphere.

Behind the Scenes Tech

The tech involved in my setup includes a variety of monitors, external hard drives for video storage, and a collapsible treadmill that helps me stay active during those long streaming sessions. It's important to balance sedentary activities like gaming with physical movement!

Closing Thoughts

I adore this space and the technology that fuels my creativity. Each piece of gear serves a unique purpose, feeding into my productivity while allowing me to express my personality. Look out for future videos where I dive deeper into my equipment, share unboxings, and discuss my journey as a content creator. Thank you for joining me on this office tour, and I can’t wait to share more!
