(A Nintendo switch can be seen, tucked away on the left wall shelf, which isn’t calculated in the price of my setup. The setup atm looks really similar to this, just without the Switch since it was never used and my brother uses it now, hence why it was so tucked away. But I wanted to use this picture since it is my absolute favorite setup pic of mine 🙂 )
Sincere apologies for my yappings, may the best setup win 🤝

The desk is almost 2 decades old, reason for the outdated design. It's made out of blockboard and there's laminate on top. Back in 2008 it costed $155 (13,000 INR). DIY floating headboard and shelf, made out of the same 7 feet by 3 feet 30mm blockboard that I bought for $35 (3,000 INR). Wrapped it in grey textured wallpaper for the finished look which costed me another $6 (500 INR). Cylindrical shaped lines on the wall are my diy version of the govee glides made using cable raceways painted in black as the base, rgb light strips, diffuser sheets and mesh on top. $30 (2,500 INR) for both. Have made the monitor riser using a plank and two blocks of wood I found in the garage. Wrapped it in the same wallpaper that was used for the headboard and shelf.

TOTAL- $1831
I got proof for most of the items. If any mod wants to verify please do dm me. Also It's a new pic if you're wondering.

As much I would like Broly to win the money since he clearly needs it the most...the sole purpose of SOTM is to award people who have the 'best setup' people who put their alot of time and dedication into putting together an amazing setup

So broly participating kind of defeats the whole purpose of setup of the month/

I made an exception keeping him in the intial votes because I didnt expect him to actually win and it was just a 'joke' however it seems like he is getting 'Pity' votes which is unfair to everyone else who participated.

So with that said, after the voting has concluded I will award the person who has the highest amount of votes (besides Broly) the SOTM crown.

However I will also make sure Broly is awarded as well for having the courage to participate and for rocking 1 of my mousepads (Thx for the support homie) 🙏❤️

[sturdy charm]
