What's up guys, it's Ed from Tech Source, and welcome to setup Wars episode 107 where you submit your desk setups to get featured on the
channel. If you guys want to participate make sure to watch the video linked down below
also huge congrats to all four of the winners of the LG ultrawide monitor
Thank you guys so much for participating, I know a lot of setups do not get featured, but unfortunately
I can only choose 5 setups per episode so I hope to do more with LG in the future
But anyways, that said, let the Setup Wars begin!
[intro music]
The setup gear of the week goes to the stick on game controller Hanger
Which I actually featured in my wolverine setup! It was so popular that it got sold out the next day after I uploaded the video. If you got
Ps4 or Xbox controllers laying around and don't have a dedicated place to put them
then grab one of these bad boys and stick them against your desk behind, your monitor or even on the wall and throw your
controllers on them. It will help clean up your setup
And it will be a lot easier reaching for them. You can also use it to hang your headsets
and there's even space around to wrap the cables for a much cleaner cable management
I'll drop a link below if you guys want to check it out,
but with that said let's begin the show. Starting off the show we got a very nice black [and] red gaming setup from Isaac.
The first thing that caught my attention were the insanely thin bezels from those AOC gaming monitors
He's got those hooked up to a mount and below that is a giant energy speaker which, honestly, looks out of place.
I would either mount that under the table or against the wall
I mean, having it just sit on the desk like that is not aesthetically pleasing.
He's also got the RAZER Blackwidow Chroma Key Board and the Mamba tournament Edition mouse
I know I said [that] this was a black [and] red [setup], but I just noticed his yellow Corsair void headset
[distorted] How DARE you insult the black and red team!?
Literally everything else is black and red: the gaming chair, RGB lights and his PC,
Which is rocking a 6700 K and an asus ROG Strix 1070
So why couldn't you just go with a black and red gaming headset?
Excellent work with the cable management, looks like all the wires are hiding behind the back board and I kind of like what you did
with a keyboard and mouse wire. instead of drilling a hole in a desk, you kind of tied them together and
ran them under the speaker and into the back
Is that why the speaker is there? are you trying to cover up the cables because I can't think of another reason
Why it's there. Also props on the wire management for the Samsung microphone setup. Adding some zip ties and the boom arm
keeps the cables from hanging down. It's an excellent setup, but it does need some tweaking
Thank you regardless Isaac for entering.
next up is James was a very clean triple monitor setup featuring two benq displays on the side and a 24-inch asus monitor in the
Center [I] was going to say that symmetry was on point
But soon realized that he has also zakia
And the led lamp on one side if you kept one of them on the left side it would have been perfect
But it's such an easy fix again. I'm not telling you what [to] do
I mean if you like your ikea plant next to the led lamp. Maybe it helps you sleep better at night
I mean who am I to say otherwise?
[I'm] just giving my opinion, so if this is my setup that is what I would have done
That's what the shows about, but anyways back to the show, so on the desk
We got the popular [coarser] strafe RGB keyboard, and that's paired with the unusual you text font venus MML gaming mouse
Which is the first time I've actually heard of it for audio is rocking the hyperx cloud to gaming headsets a blue yeti microphone
And some adorable tiny speakers from audio engine
[I] believe these are the [a] [2] plus speakers
Cable [Management] throughout the entire setup is nicely done from the microphone wires
cables running down the Martyr and the rest of the cables under the desk
I have no complaints however if you really want to clean things up a [bit] more
I recommend picking up a wall raceway to cover up those monitor wires [kind] of like how I did
With my wolverine [setup] down here. We got the PC. That's pushing all these pixels
It's got the 40 60 70 K and an EvGa GTX 970
It looks like you have your [rap] sticks in the wrong slot and also. Why are you using the stock heatsink with the
4670 K
You do realize that an unlocked processor, right?
If I were you I would pick up a cooler and overclock that bad boy to its max other than that
It's a [pretty] clean set up for the most part that mic placement is kind of bothering me a bit
But I'm sure you were going for convenience rather than aesthetics. Thank you James for entering remember that wall channel
I was talking [about] in the [previous] set up well andre here put it to good use
Covering up the cables for all three of the Samsung monitors and for his TV which he mounted on the left side
Nicely done. He's also using the corsair strafe RGB keyboard and the asus rog Gladius mouse the only audio source
He has is the corsair Avoid RGB wireless headset, but other than a few action figures in the [desc]
He's got his PS4 over there in the corner and a foam stand pretty straightforward stuff nothing
Too exciting another desk is where as PC is chilling?
It's currently walking me 4790k and the Asus Strix
970 with eight gigs of ram cable Management is very clean there isn't any suggestions
I can give you the only things that come or the keyboard and mouse wires, but other than that. It's a [pretty] clean setup
Thank you Andre for entering Sarunas is next up with his transformer desk, and I say that because it has many purposes
[first] up is the DJ set up with his Macbook pioneer headphones, and he [turned] tables out there
[we] got the gaming setup with the corsair K70 Mx Master Mouse razer tartarus keyboard and blue yeti microphone
I also noticed that each setup has its own set of lights and the monitor is in a different position
The production setup is when he needs to create beats, and you can see that the monitor is much closer to him
He's able to adjust the position of the monitor
Thanks to the Ergo Tech freedom arm
Which even still today is my favorite monitor arm of all time [and] finally we got the racing
Setup as you can see everything else is tucked away
And the only things out are the racing wheel Joystick and the [wireless] keyboard and mouse?
[I] love that everything has its own dedicated place, and that's because [Sarunas] custom-built his desk from scratch major props
He's also improved it quite a bit from the beginning. [just] like everyone including myself. We will start from somewhere
This was his [original] set up a while back, and then he upgraded his monitor got a few speakers and some DJ equipment
[he] did pick up a few more upgrades later down the line and most recently he upgraded his monitor to an ultra wide
By the way welcome to the ultra wide [club] and his newly built desk as you can see in this picture
Here's a really cool mod that I noticed [so] I want us used to
Laptop extension stands to hold up both of his speakers. That is very clever
That's definitely a great alternative for people that don't want to mount speakers on the wall or have any extra space on the desk
also kudos on the hooks that you installed on the side of the desk to hold up the XBox controller and
Keyboard you really do think of everything. I would imagine a cable management was a nightmare to do
I [setup] like [this] with so many things to connect
But I'm actually surprised at how clean and organized he kept everything a bunch of Velcro straps and cable clips made this possible
And even added a stencil drawer on the bottom that's what I'm talking about [and] finally wrapping up the setup is the PC
That's powering everything it's equipped with A 3770k and a gigabyte
980tI this setup has personality [its] unique cable management is awesome
But most importantly it has purpose, and you know look guys it's little [on] time
It's been a while actually [showing] [us] that you're watching congratulations on receiving the next official set of words seal of approval

Finishing up the episode we have a very clean and simple white and black [setup] from V ads
With a star wars theme we got the [27] [inch] ht predator hooked up to another freedom arm?
And I like how it's kind of hidden behind the Macbook on the desk
We got the course of K 65 RGB keyboard and the Mamba Chroma mouse which is on top of a firefly mousepad
And that's also on top of another Mousepad the only audio source. He's got is the logitech G930 3 headset
that's resting on the [headphone] [stand] from 12 cells and
Speaking of 12 staff the Macbook stand is also from them
The ads did an amazing job putting all this together and kept the color scheme on point as well, even inside his PC
Which has a 60 70 K 16 gigs of ram and nacs GTX 1070 and finally for cable management?
We got a power strip and a channel raceway in the back holding up all the cables
No complaints here a very dull white and black setup
