The power cable that goes through the table stand is awesome. This is the only part in my setup that looks unmanaged. Also impressed by the BenQ Halo light, more so with the temperature dialer and back lighting. The light at the back of the screen to light the wall is so so important. When I drive a car during the day that has a black dashboard, it strains my eyes because of the stark transition.
I do desktop work for hours every week and I'm in awe with your setup. It's ergonomically amazing. I relate too much to back pains, arm pains, posture problems, digestive problems, etc. I hope that I'll get one like yours someday.
Can confirm, the Magnus Pro desk is simply incredible in every way. Especially for cable management.

A variable height desk is an overengineered and pointlessly expensive solution though @@TheCentre101 I take a completely different approach to a standing desk Mine is 2.75m long. 0.75m deep and has maybe 50-60kg of stuff on it [3 large monitors, audio and dj gear]. The key thing is that it's fixed height and I have a high chair instead. Far simpler, more versatile and massively cheaper than raising a desk up and down. Built it myself from Ikea adjustable legs/desktops and 2x20mm thick MDF. Not that you can even get such a rising desk this big. It used to be even bigger with an extra section that made it L-shaped, but decided I didn't need 4.5m of desktop.

THIS IS UNARGUABLLY ONE OF THE BEST SETUP VIDEO I HAVE WATCHED. I have come to the realisation that you cant solve one ergonomic problem and leave the other out. and that is exactly the issues I am facing at the moment. I got a kidney egro chai and I stilluse a wooden made table. The Magnus pro table is my highlight in what you shared. Its pretty high on my side of the world. But its definitely worth saving for. Thank you so much
As someone who, like many, works at a desk, you have opened my mind to a whole new way of working which benefits our health physically and mentally. Wonderful set up, thank you for sharing. 🙏
This guide has been absolutely incredible, no understatement. Parts that I questioned at first got me agreeing with them like the single cord being a big deal and the wobble chair. I feel like I've wasted so much for not having the foot exercise part, so I'll focus on getting something similar as my first improvement to my setup. Thank you again for the guide!

One of my favorite additions is a hammock for your feet under the desk, it's really taken a lot of strain off my lower back and hips! That with an ergo chair like an Aeron and it's first class sitting!
00:40 the ability to look down will come in handy in an online class or a work meeting where you might do a quick drawing or calculation on paper and want everyone to see it as a first draft. Or if you play trading card games via remote and the judges need to see all your cards at all times. It's a great addition!

Thank you so much for this video. I have been watching you since I was 8 and this video benefited my in so many ways. I can now study late nights without being worried about waking my family up because of the light. I can now get exercise without my mum saying go outside and exercise. Tysm
My desk setup looks very similar. Differences are a 32” monitor, and I drilled through the desk in order to bed the wires. Then used grommets on the holes to clean them up. I think this desk would be amazing as I basically attached everything to mine with mounting screws and zip ties. I’ve never used the halo lights back light as I mounted Govee light bars on the wall.
This is so well thought out for your health honestly, I like how you made this setup focused on your health and not as much as "how can this setup be the closest to me being in the pc and not care about my health" keep it up man 👍
2:20 bro called his fiance short LOL
Hands down my favorite thing to talk about, even though it's super nerdy. I love this video. I saw your setup in the Ultra review, and I was like, wow, it looks like a more advanced version of mine lol
Great video. Have to say there is a lot in this setup but it looks understated. Basically has more than it appears to be at first glance.
Love the set up! The biggest game-changer for me has been getting a standing desk. Whenever I have an energy dip, I stand for at least half an hour. This instantly increases my energy levels again. It apparently also has tons of health benefits. Can recommend it to everyone!
If you’re going to use a use an ergonomic keyboard, I’d recommend going all the way and using a split keyboard, it’s so much nicer to have your hands on the same axis as your shoulders, and it allows you to place something in the middle and adjust the position of only one of the halves. Plus most of them have an option to adjust the angle, unlike the one you’re currently using.

I have very recently got myself a standing desk, but one thing I noticed is that it is very hard to hide the wires. I like to move my laptop front and back, so got an arm, and having it means I had to add extra wire so it doesn't get rigid. Not sure what can be done there though, but still, my setup is looking good enough that I'm able to concentrate my work.
