  "account": "PC Gamer's team members share their unique desk setups, revealing a lot about their personalities and preferences. Evan Lahti, Strategic Director, showcases his futuristic rig featuring an RTX 3080, 32GB DDR4 RAM, and a curved ultrawide 3440x1440p monitor. He is known for his love of efficiency and uses a balance board at his standing desk, reminiscent of his skateboarding days in San Francisco. Mollie Taylor, Features Producer, opts for an Nvidia GeForce RTX3070 and AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT, with a penchant for vertical monitors to aid her rhythm game addiction. Jacob Ridley, Managing Editor, has a more subdued setup with an RTX 5080, Ryzen 7 7900X, and a plethora of cat hair on his desk. Issy van der Velde, PC Gaming Show deputy editor, keeps things minimal with a Work-provided ThinkPad and a borrowed mouse, expressing a preference for a Mac while sprawled on the settee. Joshua Wolens, News Writer, is a fan of the RTX 4080 and 5800X3D, with a mechanical keyboard and a single mouse on his desk. Dave James, Editorial Director, has a unique setup with an RTX 5090, AMD Ryzen 9 9950X, and a gigabyte OLED monitor. His fishtank PC is filled with D&D Lego minifigs, and he recently upgraded his motherboard. Midas, Video Producer, opts for a more colorful setup with an RTX 5070ti and a 360MM ARGB AIO Liquid Cooler, surrounded by a variety of controllers and Lego pins. Lastly, Fraser Brown, Online Editor, showcases his RTX 4090 rig alongside a bust of a cockapoo, a medieval helmet, assorted Lego pins, and an abundance of junk.",
