 Have you ever thought about how so much gamer gear is expensive, but also kind of crap? Well, something I bet you haven't thought about is that maybe the solution is to take some of the most expensive gamer gear, like ASUS' ROG lineup, and combine it with some of the less expensive things in the world made by IKEA. That's right, my friends, behind me is the entire ASUS ROG X IKEA collection, including everything from ROG-themed pegboard storage to RGB lighting to even this. The ASUS ROG Lens Pilarer Pillow. And we are going to be determining once and for all if it's more gamer or more not gamer. And the video is brought to you by Eaton. Thanks to Eaton for sponsoring this video. Eaton's 9PX lithium-ion UPS features an extended battery life of 8 to 10 years and is network enabled for easy set and forget deployment.

Now they've got everything in this collection, mouse bungees, cup holders, cups to go in the cup holders, this weird hand thing. I'm going to need some help. Fortunately, I've got it. To make this go as fast as possible, Alex and Serj will both be contributing their considerable IKEA furniture building skills. I don't even know what I'm looking at here. To be honest with you, I, beyond just hearing that IKEA and ASUS were collabing, I don't really know anything about this. What I suspect is that this is a standing desk though, based on that there's a controller here for it. Actually, rather than build this right away, I want to see what else we've got. I'm going full bull in a china shop here, just kind of figuring out what we're looking at. This seems to be the tabletop for the desk. Alex, what do you got? I got a chair, gaming chair, actually. Gaming chair. Heck yeah. It's blue though. Most gaming stuff's black and red. Especially ASUS ROG gaming stuff. Yeah, interesting. Interesting. What the devil is this supposed to be? What is this box? Why didn't you just make it one inch taller? That's probably another chair. That's how the IKEA ships their stuff standard. Wait, so our gaming setup has two chairs? Think so? Well, I think that's the cheap chair. That one's $69 and this one's like 150. Oh, why do I get the cheap chair? Hey, at least mine's red, loser. Wait, I think that's the expensive one too. Oh. No, they sent a bunch of stuff, but they gave us a parts list. And then they sent us twice as much stuff. So I have no clue what exactly we have. Can you hand me the Allen key from that? Absolutely. Are you the keeper of the Allen keys? No, I'm the modifier of the Allen keys. Oh, what are you doing to them? I'm gonna chop them off and then just stick them in a drill. Oh, that's smart. This pillow actually feels really nice. And I'm a little bit concerned that it's not a simple pillow. The intended use is apparently to have it sit on your lap and you can put your hands in here to keep them warm. But check this out. There's a zipper. Is it a jacket? It is. Is it really? Yeah. The ROG gaming pillow jacket. Wait, is it more like a snuggie style jacket? Okay. Maybe. Got my hands in here for warmth. Okay, Andy. 25 bucks. Really? Yeah. Wow, that's really cheap. Oh, this is cool. Okay, so remember when there was all that controversy over the cost of the wheels for the Mac Pro? Well, boy, does IKEA ever have a solution for you. Oh, gosh. This is the Upspell. And basically it's two little metal brackets. So you can presumably adjust the actual width of it. You put wheels on the bottom and you roll your computer around. Genius. 20 bucks. What are you working on over there, Serge? It looks like it's called, let's see, what is this? It's an Upspell cabinet. But it looks like you can store your trophies in it and whatnot. So. To Apple's credit, their casters are a little nicer. The way this works is you slide this in and then you just bend the tab of metal to hold it into place. That's extremely cheap. In fairness, that is 35 times less expensive. Yep, 20 bucks is the correct price for this. Is it too wide? It's too wide, yeah. We didn't go for a high end enough ROG PC. It looks kind of ridiculous. Hey, Alex, look how fast my computer is. Geez. Easy there. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on a second. Is this a full sized desk pad? Oh, wait, no, this is probably a floor mat for the chair. Yeah, it's a floor mat. Oh, I was way too excited. I was way too excited about this. It's nice that it matches the aesthetic of the desk pad. Here, that's pretty cool. Okay. Now, Linus, you might say. What could possibly be the point of that? To which I would reply. I can hold all kinds of things. Your controller, your headphones. Hey, Alex. Hey, Alex. Not cool. How much would it hurt them to, in addition to the name, tell you what it is? Okay, this was really easy, except for this one bolt you can't get to because of that. But whatever, it can just stay there. Wait, what? Well, we can. I'm sure we can do it. We probably can. Let me see. And we have a chair. That is definitely the same as the other chair. That's very unfortunate. It doesn't feel too bad. Oh, maybe it does. So remember that you're spoiled and you have like a $700 chair at your desk and a like $450 one at home? Yeah, it's actually not that bad. Just need that context. Okay, I think this is the part where we start putting holes in the wall, boys. What about before that we build the desk and see where we want it? Oh, building desks is such a pain. It's okay. I'm ready. I'm ready to Republic of Gamers game. Oh, Serge, you don't have to be that careful with stuff. Just chuck the packaging anywhere. Logistics will come clean it up. I mean, you mean me. You say you want me to come get up. Sure, no problem. Serge works in logistics. That's the joke. And also we try to be nice for them. I think that completes that. Now you have your little trophy case. All I need to do now is ever win a trophy. Oh, I think that's a frame actually. A frame? For the desk frame. Desk frame. I think it might be a second desk. Is it? Oh. Because I think that they sent us the non-standing one. And then we were like, we want the standing one. And that's when they sent us all the other crap. Oh, okay. So while I put together this one, you can throw together the alternate one, I guess. You know, these are the very bolt cutters that got me out of a locked park after we were accidentally there after closing. What? So I just became very concerned because my right arm has an L on it and the other one has an R on it. Except that this is without a doubt the left arm, which means they just have the markings backwards. Well, trying to see how the engineers came up with these drawings when they first created this. Otherwise, it seems straightforward, but then looking for the parts is it becomes another nightmare. This is the second uter spilar table. I think that's how it's pronounced. Which is the first the table they sent us, which turns out to be the non-standing desk one. Ugh. How was it? Second chair is done. I think it feels faster. It feels faster. Shut up. Here we've got a drawer that's on casters to go beside your table. I don't know what makes it a gamer drawer, but I guess we'll find out soon here. Hey, hey, I know what makes something gamer drawers. Ugh, no. Lttstore.com, baby. Got the underwear? I guess drawers is technically, uh, drawers is pants, but. Big moment of truth, Andy. This is one of those terrible things from Ikea, where you just have like a hundred different dowels and crap to put in to kind of ambiguous holes. And now you get to find out if it goes together, you did it right. And if it doesn't go together, you're going back and trying to figure out which dowel you put in the wrong stupid hole or something. Good luck. It worked. Nice. Okay, so this corner got bashed up in shipping, so I kind of want that one at the back. So that shell. Yeah. Okay, let's do it. Did you get, did you nail it? Really? Are all the holes aligned right now? I'm impressed. You have a bright future as an Ikea furniture assembly lady. Thank you. Okay, how many of these do you put in? Why is it seven? How could it be seven? No, I refuse to accept that. What kind of number is seven? I hate it. This is not satisfying. I think that this one is the one. No, no. And that's your side, so. My side? You're the one who, you're the one who would set how long it is. Yeah, but you're the one who validates it and then it will wind up. I asked you. Yeah, and I said I think so. Right. So it's on you. But how am I supposed to visually see the thing that I'm saying? Is this just another floor mat? This one feels a lot more sturdier than that one. And I think that one's actually. I don't think so. I think this is exactly the same thing. Why'd they send us two floor mats? I don't know. I mean, yeah, we got two chairs. Maybe they just assumed we have a friend who will sit in game with us. Maybe. We're PC gamers. Hey, there we go. They also sent us two prints, which are actually kind of like cyber. One's cyberpunk looking and the other one is I have no idea what that is. Oh, there we go. ROG. Table. We're going over. Yes, this way. Okay. So you could just maybe take the cardboard out. I'm good. I'm fine. Where are you, Linus? So you can either have this at the back for your cable management, or you can have it at the front for your pulling yourself closer to your monitor. So you can get that, get that gamer posture. What? What now? I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I have some bad news. What now? Your front might be worse than the back. Oh. Well, that's unfortunate. Yeah, that's a sharpie job right there. That's a take it back to Ikea job right there. Yeah. No, no, we're going to try theirs first. I know ours is way better. Okay, fine. Show ours. It's way better. It is way better. I mean, that's just, oh man. That's so much better. LTTstore.com. But, but, but for now, this is the ROG Ikea build. So we'll use their smaller inferior mouse pad without even stitched edges. Wow, you know what? That looks wonderful. Also, I only give honest feedback. No comment. Did you ever think, wow, I really love that cup holder, but what it needed was more wood grain? Boy, do I ever have the solution for you. In all seriousness though, this clamp, outstanding. It's like all aluminum, solid aluminum as far as I can tell. So this thing, no joke, that's going to hold your beverage like nobody's business. Does it fit an LTT water bottle? If it doesn't, I'm taking it back. Does it not? What about the small one, the 20 ounce? Well, they kind of go together. Oh, that's cool. Oh, yeah, sure. Oh, that's cool. Oh, that's cool. Oh, that's cool. Oh, that's cool. Oh, yeah, sure. Heck yeah. It's a match made in heaven for the 40 ounce. It's a match made in heaven for the 40 ounce. Look at that. Oh, man. This thing, officially awesome, now that it fits this. LTTstore.com Okay, but this is the ROG build, Alex. Get this crap out of here. Now, I need this. This fits much better. Oh, here we go. Oh, here we go. Oh, here we go. Oh, yeah. Oh, I'm feeling ROG already. Yeah, the chair's not amazing. Hey, Alex? No. If you're like a kid or if you're kind of light, it probably won't be a problem, but I have a little too much asker. This is hilarious. I was about to put this down here and then be like, oh, no, I gotta put it on the thing. Not at all. Duh. This is actually amazing. Oh, it can't go there, Linus. Why not? Because this thing's gonna be awesome. Oh, what's that? It's the drawer that goes beside it, but it has cable management built in the back. It's actually pretty sweet. Oh, I thought it was gonna go more like here. Yeah, this can go there and then the PC can go on top of it and then you cable manage everything into it. On top of it. But I got the floor rolling thing. But then it's on casters. But I got the- it is on casters. Yeah, but those casters are way worse. You can cable manage into this. You have your just gaming cart. You can go from, you know, your desk to your living room. It's not even the right size. Now, normally I would obviously put in anchors and or try to hit the stud, but this is gonna be here for about half an hour. So, I'm not too worried about it. Uh, how level am I? Sorry, 50 kilos is the weight limit for this table? That's it, huh? Wow. How about that? Oh, geez. Maybe stay in line with like right here? Oh, Oh, cool. It's a pegboard inside the case too. Oh, I love it. Oh, crap. I was getting it on the mouse pad and then I shook it off the table and now it's on the floor mat. Ah! Maybe I should have brought a bigger drill bit. Yeah. I need a bigger drill bit. Oh, we didn't have to use dry wall anchors. This is plywood. We did that so that we wouldn't have to use dry wall anchors. No wonder it didn't go in. Well, don't put the dry wall anchor in now. We're committed. Unless we use like chonk-tastic screws. What could be better than this mounting job? This can hold so much award. We got these RGB strips that are five meters. So we have two of them and we need to figure out how we want to run it to make everything a lot of meters. Yeah. I like this mechanism. This is so much better than most of the RGB connection things I've seen. It's got a nice little housing on it. Oh, yeah. Red, oh, wait. There's different colors. All right. We're going to have to adjust that. It does look cool. Yeah. See, you were being such a hater before and now all of a sudden you're like, oh, it's actually pretty cool. You were totally, you were one half. It's a good way to mount this. I don't know. Double-sided tape? Thinking a tack. Who has tacks? I don't know. I'm just going to ask the accounting department. Get it? Yes. Tacks? They do wear tacks, yes. I can't believe you made Andy roll for that. They also have a bulletin board. All right. Who wants to help level me? I think you need a white key. No, she's tried. Dude, that looks sick. Oh, yeah. I love the pegboard. The poster is awful. Yeah, the poster's not great. It's ruined. Whole day ruined. But this is good too. Maybe we should just take this out, put some electrical tape over there, and then we go. I think that's a really solid plan because that is truly spectacularly bad. I got to be honest. Oh, it goes on the other way. It goes on forward. I think it does anyway. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, because that's where the hands go. That's got to be it. I got to tell you though, after you guys put the finishing touches on it, I don't think it looks very good. Because it looks very great. It looks so awesome. Man, like freaking ROG IKEA. Who would have ever thunk it, right? Like, it's just... Man, it went from yeah, I don't know, like whatever. It's like IKEA furniture or whatever. To like, oh man, you're a gamer now, dog. Like, look at this place. It looks awesome. The whole thing is just super cohesive. Like, it's not just gamer desk worthy. Like, this is like set worthy. Like, it looks freaking like we spent a fortune on it. Oh, I see we ended up swapping out the desk back for ours. Oh, yeah. I haven't even looked at your setup yet. You know what? I love this cable management concept. Having it kind of go back into like, it's like a board room table kind of thing. I got no idea what's happening. No! Come on! So it's the usual conclusion. An epic gaming setup cannot make you an epic gamer. But at least you'll feel good doing it. Just like I feel good telling you about our sponsor. Thanks again to Eaton for sponsoring today's video.
