Tell us a bit about yourself.

My name is Ben, and my wife Jenny and I are the founders of Archetype Origins, where we specialize in crafting custom high-end gaming PCs and creating personalized desk setups. Our passion lies in curating desk spaces that combine aesthetics, ergonomics, and functionality. Through our YouTube channel, we share build journeys, tech reviews, and setup tips, all while connecting with a community of tech enthusiasts.

What’s your favorite item on your desk?

My favorite item on my desk is definitely our custom loop water cooling PC. It's a one-of-a-kind creation—built with top specs and designed to stand out visually. What makes it even more special is that it's the result of a collaboration between multiple brands, blending the best components into a single, stunning masterpiece. Not only is it a beast performance-wise, but it’s also an eye-catching piece of art that elevates the entire desk setup. There’s truly nothing else like it in the world!

Dark, moody vibe with wood accent.

When did you start to work on your desk setup?

Around the beginning of 2022.
