Necessity calls for innovation, and this is especially the case for the best small gaming setups.
As the name suggests, this subgenre of battle station is simply built in a limited area, e.g.
the closet, office, or under the stairs, etc.
Although compact, gamers are drawn to these setups for their imaginative designs and potential space-saving capabilities.

My Tiny Setup
Next up is one of the best small gaming setups we have seen.
Because its so efficient.
Who would of thought to stick a battle station in such a confined area.
The first thing you notice is that something is not quite right here.
Unconventionally, this changes the whole form of the setup to look vertical, instead of horizontal.
Some serious space-saving measures have been taken to ensure nothing is overcrowded.
The monitor and shelf are just the right size to fit between the corner and the window.
This is attached with a homemade coiled cable for that added aesthetic appeal.
Closet upgraded ..again
The closet has been upgraded again.. and this time it looks immense!
All of the gear in this setup has the right proportions and we particularly like the layout.
Moving into the closet is not for everyone, especially when its only 122cm wide.
On either side, we have a bassy pair ofAudio Pro T14sto create that cinema-style environment.
Could you imagine shutting the door behind you and loading up a horror game in such a cozy space!
Aesthetically the room is perfectly decorated.
From the subtle ledges that house the custom-built Varmilo keyboards, to the indoor hanging plants.
Furthermore, The Pink/ Green neon lighting from theNanoleaf, LED Strip, and wallpaper ties everything together beautifully.
A streamer could only wish for a fitted, modern studio of this caliber.
Although the 2.4m wide room is certainly not the largest, it has been optimized to its full potential.
Above the desk, we have the dual Acer monitors that sandwich a curved Samsung49 CRG9.
These are wall-mounted using Mounting Dream mounts to free up desk space and give that lovely floating effect.
The decoration in this room is what takes it to that next level.
From the acoustic foam panels to the beautifulBonsai plants.
Even the LED light strip helps to blend the surrounding earthy colors.
