This battlestation is reminiscent of a laboratory or workshop with its brilliant lights, sit-stand desk, and jars with keycaps and mechanical switches. A hobbyist would easily have the ability to stand and tinker with custom mechanical keyboards, or paint Warhammer miniatures with the perfect lighting and desk space. The vertical monitor isn’t overbearing when paired with the primary 34″ monitor, as it hovers a distance away, but not out of sight. Let’s extract a couple features that make this a unique PC setup:

LIFX Beam

The LIFX Beam is vibrant RGB LED light strip that is not only customizable with colors, but with zones within the strips. And with integrations from IFTTT, you can make the LIFX Beam blink or change color when your Uber or food delivery has arrived, or turn on with motion detectors. Breakdown No. 8 is another gaming PC setup that has incorporated the LIFX beam to highlight the battlestation with brilliant lighting.

UPLIFT Sit-Stand Desk

Features

  • Dual motors for quicker and quieter adjustments.
  • Keypad with one-touch height adjustment
  • 10 YEAR warranty

Although this desk is slightly different than the one displayed in the breakdown, this desk is one of the few models available from the same company. A sit-stand desk can be a great upgrade compared to a desk that’s not height-adjustable, and there’s many benefits. According to Healthline, standing desks can help improve mood and energy levels, boost productivity, reduce back pain, and more. If you consider how much of your life you spend at your desk, the $869 price tag is a small investment.
