25 Worst Gaming Setups

June 18, 2012 by Jen Shaffer

This is going to get ugly…

If you are the messiest person you know, or think that your computer rig is straight out of the early 90s, you might want to take a look at this list. All of these gaming setups are incredibly impractical, but most also border on masochistic. Some of these people may look a lot like hoarders, some may look as though they don't own anything at all, including furniture, but from jury rigged desks to towers without cases, the majority of these photos will make you cringe and wonder, "Where do people like this come from?"

For most people, gaming is a sort of religion and in that vein of thought, our desks are the temple. Aptly nicknamed, battlestations are where gamers play, eat, and even work for hours at a time. Unfortunately, not all of us can have the perfect setup, or even the most clean one, so take pity on the pictures you are about to view (most of which were taken from r/ShittyBattleStations).

 

Ah the classic CRT monitor, taking up 95% of the desk. While extending your desktop onto those two monitors, the resolution jumps to 1280×480. Also, I'm pretty sure half of that computer is missing and the disc drive is trying to escape.
