What's up guys, it's Ed from TechSource and over the weekend I came out with a brilliant new series idea
that has to do with setups. I'm actually calling it "Setup Montages".
And basically all the setups that don't get featured on Setup Wars will be moved over to the new show
Basically, it's gonna be a slideshow of setups with some background music
and also some text showing what gear they are using.
I get around ten submissions each day
just for setup wars and sometimes on the weekend I get double that.
I have to delete a lot of them because there's just no way I can fit every single one on the show which I do
Only once a week
and I feel really bad to leave them because you guys spend a lot of time taking pictures and
submitting to be on the show so I figured at least this way the
Setups that don't get featured on the actual show can be showcased on a different series
So I did a small poll to see if I should even do this and based on the Twitter votes a lot of you guys
Are interested in this so I'll give it a shot
It's gonna come out this Saturday, so if you guys are interested watching it cool
If not, you can obviously skip it you don't have to watch it. It's not for everyone, but if you do watch it
Please I ask you guys to either leave a dislike or leave a like
That's the only way I'm gonna know if you guys will enjoy this series, and if I should continue doing them every single Saturday
So setup words will be every Monday setup montages will be every Saturday, and it's gonna be a very quick video
Maybe two three minutes tops, but anyways with that said welcome
So with that said welcome to setup wars episode 126 let the setup wars begin
Kicking off the show we got Brad and a very clean ultra wide set up between three 23 inch AOC monitors
That are hooked up against the wall, and I don't know if I'm seeing things
But it looks like he painted the monitor mount the same color as his wall
Interesting the desk is custom made that he cut himself and he's using to Ikea Alex yours as the support
He's also got the curser K. 65 RGB keyboard and the Sabre RGB Mouse on top of the pajama extended mousepad
He doesn't have any desktop speakers instead
He's using a Bluetooth speaker from damson and the Astro 830's
Next to his xbox one is the PC that's running the setup and it's actually rocking the i7
6700 and an EVGA GTX 970
No complaints when it comes to cable management looks like you know what you're doing. There are a few things though. I would recommend
First off the wood tabletop doesn't blend with the rest of your setup
I would either paint it or skin it black carbon fiber or black mat would look really nice on the desk
And I'll drop a link below if you guys want to check it out
Another thing that you can do to clean up your desk surface is by mounting your xbox one
Under the desk itself and you can do that by using this mount other than that is a pretty solid setup
Thank You Brad for starting off the show
Davis next up with quite possibly the least
Symmetrical setup on the show he must really like that picture on the wall so much that he still decided to add the acoustic foams
even though it looks
Unbalanced he mounted both of the BenQ monitors on the desk and underneath that
He's got the worldcat isku keyboard the Nith mouse and the Logitech g13
Gamepad for audio he's using the rock at Ranga gaming headset, but he also has the Harman Kardon sound sticks
And it looks like he doesn't have any space for them so he laid them both on top of a storage container
I guess that's one way of doing it the PC next to them has a 7700 K
and the Asus dual GTX 1070
which looks really nice inside the s3 for the elite case with the white sleeved cables and
Speaking of the cables the management is on point, maybe just clean the wall a little bit
But it really is an organized and clean setup. It's pretty straightforward. Nothing. I can really recommend to improve it
Thank you Dave for trained Dave number two is up next with an insane gaming room
I don't even know where to start
I mean this guy has the ultimate gaming setup in his bedroom in the notes
He stated that everything in his room costed around twenty five hundred dollars, which I called BS
I think he accidentally missed an extra zero because twenty five thousand would be a more accurate number
On the left side we got his secondary
setup featuring two HP monitors the red dragon K
503 keyboard and the Vics Inc Mouse the headphones he's using with the setup are the sennheiser HD
4.30 eye
Which has an interesting hanger?
and there's also a dell sound bar as well the 40 inch sceptre TV up top is mostly used with chromecast for YouTube Netflix and
Occasionally TV however it's not used for gaming looks like this first setup is actually more budget oriented because he bought the keyboard and mouse
Used online and the PC parts are more on the low-end side regardless of what parts he used a wall-mounted
PC always looks badass
His main setup is a tiny bit better. He's got four monitors
three of which were bought from eBay for $100 and he happened to overclock them to
66 Hertz he's also using a five year old keyboard from Logitech and liji 602 Mouse
I'm actually starting to believe that he did buy everything for
$2,500 I mean after all most of the parts. He bought are used so it was a lot cheaper
It also looks like he was going with a black and white color scheme because of the acoustic panels on the wall
Also the white out blue yeti microphone with white pop filter and also a bunch of other white accessories on the desk
I honestly expected white skins on his m50x s. But I guess he kept it stuck
He also has three Dell sound bars mounted under his monitors because one is obviously too mainstream
I also got to give Dave some major props on the clean cable management job on a glass desk
I like how you used the cable raceways near the bottom to route the wires on his second setup and
small things like adding an SD card reader underneath the keyboard and also a USB hub reader nearby
But the side of a show which I'm sure everyone can agree on is this wall-mounted custom, water-cooled, PC
featuring an EVGA GTX 980 TI
16 gigs of ram and the xeon e5
2680 processor which is an 8 core I know the motherboard and the RAM sticks triggered a lot of people including me
But workstation motherboards never looked good anyways, so there's not much you can do there. If you really bought everything in this room for
$2,500 the new sir are the budget King a very sick gaming room setup
Thank You Dave number 2 for entering coming out number 4 is Theo and his custom-built setup next to his I
Want to say bunk bed, but the bottom portion doesn't really look like a bed?
So I'm not sure what that is
Either way his setup features the 34 inch ultra white from LG with an asus monitor up top
It looks like both of them are mounted against the wall and check out his microphone setup
He mounted his rode NT microphone against the mounting bracket for his monitors
That there is the optimal position for a boom arm if you can get it up there
It's off your desk, and it doesn't block your monitors. It also doubles as a nice headphone hanger on the desk
He's got the courser k95 RGB platinum keyboard and the razer naga RGB mouse with a pair of logitech, zi
623 speakers, I'm not sure what's up with the random CPU and RAM sticks
You've got on the desk
But I'm guessing it's to offset the charging dock on the opposite side to keep it somewhat asymmetrical
I mean you got the extra space for it so adding small props like that isn't really a big deal
The PC powering the setup is equipped with horizon 7 1700 X and the asus strix
1070 but holy sheep tits look at the cable management guys
Beautiful work with the cable ties and mounting that cable box up. There was the icing on the cake
I'm also happy to see that you used a wall Raceway for the moderner wires up there it is music to my
Eyeballs a beautiful and clean setup. Thank you very much Theo for entering finishing up the episode
We got a simple yet powerful gaming setup powered by Asus. He's rocking the asus rog swift monitor
We also got to Asus mice and the Corsair k70 RGB
Keyboard I'm curious as to why he didn't go with the Asus keyboard since most of his parts are from Asus
I mean they do make some pretty dope keyboards like the Claymore core
Sticking with the Asus team his PC is equipped with the Crick's x99 motherboard with a Strix GTX 1080 paired with D
6800 K processor other than a few mouse pads he's got his custom Xbox one controller by bum
controller
And that's about it on his desk under his desk is the sennheiser pc
363 gaming headset hanging from the most interesting headphone hanger. I have seen on the show
I don't even know how those beads are hanging to be honest if you zoom close you can see that
It's just somehow attached to the metal frame of the desk. I mean with that logic it has to be magnetic otherwise
There's just no way it's hanging like that. Okay sure the cable Wiseman is flawless. I like the cable sleeves
That's covering the PC wires and everything is tucked away nicely inside the net underneath the desk
But let's focus on the most impressive thing in his entire room his organization skills
No joke look at this shelf over here. There was literally no more space left on the sides of the shelves
He used the perfect size and the perfect amount of boxes to fill up from one side to the other
I mean this guy is a Tetris master
Okay, maybe the top shelf has some extra space there about overall he did a fantastic job
And I feel really good and relaxed just by staring at it
I'm pretty weird and it's like that across the rest of his room like this red shelf he has over here
he made sure to take advantage of all that extra space a
Very nice organized and powerful set up Thank You Zhu se for entering so that is it for this episode
