all right all right all right I hear you
guys loud and clear you want me to react
to vikstar's setup so we're gonna be
doing that in today's video but before
we get to the main event I do want to
check out another person that you guys
recommended uh on my Discord server
basically homeless
um has made a new setup tour so you guys
want me to react to that as well so
we'll start off with that and then we'll
move on over to vix setup let's begin
[Music]
season eight Tech Source mouse pads are
finally available we got space hex
coyoto dusk Dawn and three different
colors of erupt check them out at
dealsource.com store or click the link
below alright so I think this guy
uploaded one
a week ago basically homeless
set up I know it's recent
uh here it is 10 days
building the perfect setup oh my
headphones I almost forgot about these
all right so this guy has one point
almost 1.6 billion subscribers
um apparently he's a tech Channel he
does a lot of
PC content he builds PCS as well so
let's see who kind of setup is rocking
here's the perfect setup every setup
I've ever seen is littered with wires so
everything I have is wall mounted with
the wires running through the walls on
the right I have a Samsung 49 inch Ultra
wide which is not Overkill as a second
monitor it's actually very useful to
have an ultrawide and on the left is 138
Hertz 48 inch 4K OLED LG Ultra gear it's
the best monitor I've ever had and they
didn't pay me to say that now YouTuber
studio also has cameras connected to a
capture card which is usually like a
tripod and three or four cables but no
I've also run those wires through the
walls it's nice okay and the capture
card is built into the computer instead
of connected via USB also now every
camera I own is on one of these little
360 degree mounts so I can hot swap
cameras between any of the tripods or
wall mounts that I use oh that's that's
freaking cool I haven't seen that
specific amount before but that actually
looks much easier to swap cameras uh
compared to the one I'm using for my
driven camera the light is ceiling
mounted because desk Mount oh that's
literally the same light I have right
now I'm not even kidding with the same
exact ceiling mount only difference is
you actually routed the cable through
the freaking ceiling wow that's that's
impressive
I'm a complete peasant when it comes to
that because I have my cables running
through a few Channel raceways I lean on
the desk all the time and so I just kind
of it's like a pet peeve I can't stand
things wobbling my network attached
storage networking second PC and big
uninterruptible power supply are all in
the Attic hey I know it doesn't look
good but as long as you can't see it
that's cool if I need access to them
that's smart through the ground and the
walls an entire i o to my desk where I
have USBC power delivery HDMI to USB
type a power adapters this is where I
plug in my headphones because Wireless
is trash two
I'm using wireless headphones right now
Wireless isn't trash it's definitely not
better than wired headphones it just
depends on the brand right if you're
talking about mic quality yeah Wireless
is Wireless crap but uh like I have my
steel series octis Pro headset
it's nice I would say it's trash I guess
it depends on um what headset you're
talking about full 120 volt plugs for
like if I'm running a test bench or like
this PC that's super convenient I like
that here oh and my mic is XLR so it
runs through the desk and then through
the ground to a mixer in the Attic so
everything is hidden and a wireless
charger is built into the desk Pizza
come here
nice
food third we got third place
um
clearly there's why is he why is he so
freaking zoomed in on his face those are
some of the biggest nose holes I have
ever seen you can probably do like an
RTX 4090 an SLI and those bad boys what
do you think is this the perfect setup
or did I miss something are you about to
comment something really mean go ahead
go ahead man see if I intro the next
video I'm not gonna comment I'm gonna
say some things go ahead try it man see
if you can make me
oh my God what is what is that is that
dirt in the fans why didn't you clean
your fans before installing them he
probably uh uses old fans from a
previous build or something because the
right one looks clean but that one
oh yeah that's that is a an air duster
so he's calling this the perfect setup I
think that's a very subjective question
because you know the perfect server
varies from person to person it really
comes down to your your preference so
this setup might be perfect for you but
it might not be perfect for everyone
else as far as what I think about this
setup it's definitely
very unconventional it's different than
the traditional setups that we normally
see well like you know the desk against
the wall the IKEA furniture and the PC
on the desk so I have to approach this
from a different perspective with that
said I think this setup has a few
questionable choices mainly with the
layout but before I get into that I do
want to talk about what I really like
about this setup I love the amount of
effort that he put into everything like
the fact that he routed the cables
through his floor and into his attic is
next level that's the type of commitment
you don't normally see with these
YouTubers and streamers so for that
already I have a lot of respect uh
mountainous dreamy camera against the
wall with a universal Mount was a smart
move and having all the cables go
through the wall just adds to the
wireless look of the entire setup this
is what I like to call an island setup
where desk is separated from the wall
and as such I think he took advantage of
that by going with a massive monitor for
the main display but the ultra ride on
the right side just doesn't make much
sense to me first off you can see the
monitor mount from the bottom it
actually looks like he pieced together
two different mounts judging by the two
different colors like I don't know why
he did that when he could have gone with
a low profile Mount instead even
something like this would have done the
job a lot better and it would have been
hidden nicely behind the monitor but the
mount isn't even the thing that bothers
me the most it's the location of the
ultralight monitor it's in a very
awkward spot and much further away from
him I feel like the ultra ride would
have been would have made more sense
underneath the maid monitor you always
want the curved display to be right in
front of you for the best possible field
of view that would have not only looked
so much better in his setup but it would
have been more comfortable for his neck
and his eyes my guess is that he mounted
the monitor under his PC so the cables
are a lot closer but he could have just
gotten longer cables for that also I'm
not sure why he doesn't have a mouse or
mouse pad maybe I missed something from
earlier in the video but I think a white
Topo mouse pad will look awesome in that
setup you can grab one or choose from
many other designs from dealsource.tech
store I had to plug it in and finally I
do want to talk about the PC because
this is probably the biggest thing that
sticks out to me it's such a random PC
build there's no color scheme there's no
consistency none of the parts complement
each other I'm not even upset about the
two different gpus in there I just wish
there was more of a theme going on I
mean there are white fans against black
radiators two different colored cables
gold accents from the motherboard and
RGB puke from the lighting
like what is even this build it just
feels like he threw in a bunch of parts
I had laying around without any sort of
planning or goal in mind that's that
that's the vibe I'm getting with this PC
build also why did you go with 90 degree
fittings in your Loop you clearly know
how to bend tubes judging by your other
tube runs why didn't you just stick with
bending them it would have looked so
much cleaner I don't know it's just a
very messy build in my opinion there are
a lot of things he could have done
differently to improve the functionality
and the Aesthetics of the setup I would
say this is a seven out of 10 for me
all right now the main event that
everyone has been waiting for Vic Starr
set up
he is a part of the sidemen uh he
recently did a new setup as well 12 days
ago uh already from the thumbnail it
looks it looks promising so this is how
my office used to look and as you can
see it's just not very exciting there's
not much to it I wanted to create a
really cool spec that's like the perfect
canvas to build something crazy
so he's got he definitely has the uh the
space for it my gym used to look and
obviously we transformed my gym into
this so I had a you know high
expectations to meet and I think we've
done it so after I posted my house tour
I had a company called the Nunu group
reach out to me and they do 3D rendering
and they sent me these renders and said
damn that looks so freaking dope I love
it but hey why don't you make your
office look like this and I was like
okay that's very cool we have a
direction to go in um I hired a few of
the right people and I'm about to show
you what we ended up with let's go
foreign
[Music]
that looks nothing like the render
I mean I I see some similarities but
[Music]
um the setup in the render looks so much
better
this one seems
this one seems incomplete but
let's just keep watching
[Music]
foreign
and check out this space there's a lot
to cover here first things first we've
got the DJ decks we'll come back to that
we've got the XIX neon sign lighting up
the place and then we come around into
the rest of the room that's a that's a
chill room it looks upset I can't
believe this is going to be it looks
nice yeah it looks good the desk set up
here courtesy of the legend okay what is
I should probably let him finish but I
have no clue why he's got a triple
monitor mount with a single monitor on
there I don't even
it there must be a really good excuse
because normally when you're shooting a
set of tour you gotta wait till your
setup's complete right I don't know why
he kind of rushed this out when he's
still waiting on a few monitors to
arrive I'm assuming he's still waiting
for a few monitors to arrive otherwise
you would just pick up a single monitor
mount on the 3D render it looked like
they were triple display so I'm assuming
that's what he's going for but why put
this out if it's not complete
there must be something
that must be something imagine that is
Con we have this new paneling and we
also have a Starlet ceiling I'm big star
how could I not have a star similar to
KSI ceiling fun fact I had this month
and months before uh JJ had it in his
office but it has taken me so long to
get all of this custom so he beat you to
it on here but my goodness was it worth
it so right here at my desk is where I'm
going to be doing all of my gaming my
streaming all of my work to clean stuff
it was actually sponsored by Sony in
zone they have hooked me up with their
Sony M9 there it is that's what it was
there's a sponsor in his video and most
sponsors have deadlines so I bet you my
left nut he had to publish this video
because the sponsors had a specific date
of mine so
that explains it let me guess he's
probably getting through the same
monitors being sent over
monitor I only have one at the moment
but I've got two more on the way so I'm
gonna have the one two three let me see
what I did there set up right here in
front I got it I also have the Sony H9
headset I have those headsets I have
that headset I should say it's a it's an
awesome headset and then moving on to
the PowerHouse of the setup I have the
PC right here let's go baby specialist
it's got these specs which are it's got
a uh what is it 3900k
64 gigs of RAM and an RTX 409 it doesn't
say which brand the 490 is or if it's a
Founder's Edition but those are some
Beast aspects surely he's going to show
it off in the video right they're absurd
I'm gonna be on my Edge taking out
whatever game comes up next then for my
face camera you didn't show the PC and
we've got the trusty rode microphone for
audio I also have oh this has got that
on a boom arm unlike JJ my custom
keyboard Built For Me by glasses so
thanks to him and I've got twin speakers
set up for sound when I'm at my computer
and I also have a little a little
charging path for my phone but that's
that's it for the desk actually that is
not it for the desk this is no ordinary
desk you guys know how the sidemen
setups are they're not really complete
until every Simon has a freaking sit and
stand there so it kind of done me some
beautiful things
up and down and my favorite thing about
it is you think the lights are going to
hit the roof
they they don't it's perfect that's cool
okay the hype the maximum height is one
two kill major looks pretty good from
what I can see I mean it's really dark
down there but I mean I'm not that I
don't doubt they're cable management at
all
they're definitely on point so the
reason that this office took so long to
do is that all of these panels are
custom built and fitted Dara
um
I don't think those panels are custom
built I'm pretty sure you can buy those
from Amazon I've seen the white ones on
there in terms of custom fit I'm sure
obviously probably cut them to fit the
the length of the wall but these are not
custom made so um the hexagon panels on
the bottom are also not custom made you
can purchase those on Amazon in fact
they come in different
colors a wooden boards with custom
plastic molds over the top of them this
actually is really good for sound
absorbing as well that wasn't an
intention there's enough carpet in this
room for it not to be necessary but it
worked then this middle I don't think it
does a lot for sound treating these are
very thin pieces of PVC material they
might help five or ten percent but it's
not it'll make a big difference like you
think they do big section we have a
wooden board we bought in these tiles
stuck them on before and after
comparisons because I took kind of
static shots of the room yeah I mean
that's that's a hell of a transformation
I'm very impressed is where we got to
very impressed I think the really good
choice going with the black walls it
really just helps tie the entire room
together okay let's talk about a big
setup so I actually love the design of
this one so much better than ksi's it's
just it's more my taste I feel like
there was more effort put in the
designing aspect
um a big setup than JJ's the custom wall
looks awesome I love the combo of the
3dr panels and the hexagon tiles in the
center with accent lighting it's just
such a nice backdrop for the entire
setup the mic is conveniently mounted on
a boom arm the mono layout is gonna look
so much better since he's getting two
more of the same displays I'm just not
sure if there is going to be any spacing
between them judging by the location of
the camera but it's gonna look much
better than case size wonky monitor
layout I don't know why I keep comparing
vix setup to case size because they're
completely different setups I'm just
bummed the PC is on the floor it just
feels like none of the sidemen really
appreciate their PCS which which is a
shame you know I would have shown a bit
more appreciation to the one thing that
is powering the setup and not put it on
the floor due to the layout of the setup
and the size of the desk you kind of
shot yourself in the foot there so I can
see why they did it but you know it does
look like you have plenty of space for
the PC on the right side so I would have
installed a wall shelf and just put the
PC on there instead you don't have to
mount it on the wall if you don't want
to since the PC would be in the center
of the lowest and the highest point of
the desk the cables would also be a lot
shorter as well this way you could have
a nice view of the system which would
have complemented your setup a lot
better than just leaving it on the floor
but yeah other than that it's a
fantastic setup if you do install the
other two monitors this is a solid 8 out
of 10 for me great work
all right that's it for today's video as
always make sure you guys let me know in
the comment section whose setup I should
react to next if you guys are enjoying
these reactive videos do let me know by
tossing a like and if you're new here
consider subscribing for more awesome
setup content coming your way thanks for
watching again and I'll see you very
soon in the next one
