Pls make this a series. That subreddit is just a goldmine of some of the best and most unique/creative setups I've seen. Stuff that you wouldn't generally cover. Maybe one video monthly for the most upvoted posts of that month

i feel like this subreddit should be in Setup Wars, like a separate category

You can fully press those buttons in the VR sim. Pretty slick setup there.

Good stuff looking into this subreddit. The setups that are posted in there have some of the best inspiration for other setups. Great video, EddyBoo!

Yay, my setup 3:16 on reddit. That's where it started! Thanks for the seal of approval Ed!

This was awesome. And since you aren’t doing Setup Wars every week anymore, content like this would be awesome to fill the off weeks

great vid ed! always loved the honesty you put into rating setups. helped me alot with my own setup!!

I swear, I posted my setup 7 days ago from today on the Battlestations subreddit and was both excited yet terrified that you might come across it since it was posted a day before this video came out. Though I can say that I'm always watching your videos and checking out the subreddit to make inprovements and new additions every now and then. You more than anyone have helped me the most through my setup build and even building my first pc 2 years ago and I want to provide a great thanks!

You inspire me to make my set-up better thanks for posting so frequent

ed ur great, im so lucky i just came home and you posted this banger, cant wait to finish it!!

Fun episode, definitely make this into a series. Just as you said I’m working at the third submission, and should be done soon!

13:09 if the owner just swiched the middle and right pannel, it would be the perfect setup... It's the small things, damn...

Can't regret you're channel is biggest inspiration for me to build my new setup 😀

The VR setup at the beginning is fully functional. The consoles are mapped 1:1 so what you see in VR will be the approximate location of the actual buttons. When mixed reality becomes more advanced we will see huge improvements in the physical assets to improve the VR experience.

these are cool, I like the reaction part which is somewhat hilarious, and the creativity part that inspire us to tweak a little our own setups, thanks a lot Edgar, I love your content... I'm finishing my own setup so I can send it to Setup Wars. and BTW in the monitor-less sim rig, if you watch closely, you can see that the buttons are functional but there are no screens on the panels, so you can touch the buttons, but the screen interaction is through the VR goggles...

Love the consistent videos man, keep up the good work!

In the Last Setup, the 2 big TV's are the Same models judging from the looks of mounting which they STANDS on. U should do MORE off THESE videos!! 🔥❤💪

5:48 "Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do." It's actually not just "Follow your dreams". It emphasizes the responsibility aspect involved in pursuing a passion.

your comments are always accurate. i couldn't present your show better than you already do ^^

Flight simmer, here. Yes, people who have VR setups like to have physical buttons, often laid out 1:1 of their favorite aircraft to get full immersion. In something like DCS World, non-VR users use the mouse to click as many buttons in the virtual cockpit as programmed or program whatever buttons they want to either their joystick, throttle, or some other button box. The guy @ 2:45 has his gear with an F/A-18 Hornet layout, with three MFD's (multi-function displays) and Hornet joystick. You can even see the MFD's have a screen in them to use without VR. Looks like a Thrustmaster Warthog (A-10 Warthog) throttle. Pretty expensive collection of flight gear. The base/frame/chair alone is probably $1,000.

great vid Ed, gotta do more of these!

Ed, thanks again for another great video! 😊 That cabin in the middle of the woods is amazing 🤩 but not the set up itself. I can understand why people voted for this setup which is only because of the cozy mood it gives. I can see myself living at this cabin, drinking coffee and watching movies but I would definitely do something different with the set up otherwise it just doesn’t go along with the overall theme.

Thanks for being such a consistent and great youtuber. I love your videos and they motivated me to build my own custom pc packed with a humble i5 13600k and an Asus Tuf RTX 3070. Thank you so much for your great content and keep it up.

6:08 the message is "Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do"

You should react to all of the setups that you have had, I feel like that would be a fire 🔥 video (your the GOAT)

Had a ton of fun watching this. I'm not too busy in the reddit world, so this gave me some extra exposure.

idk why but these vids are so comforting and entertaining : )

my day gets better once i see a new post from techsource!

You're actually hilarious man, great video! Lots of cool setups I am using for inspiration for my own.

13:12 they’re waves, each panel is a continuation of the last panel, it’s actually satisfying imo lol

personally i keep my desk leg in the center because i lean on my desk quite a bit and i can feel the weight shift/bend the table

The flight sim setup is built for DCS (Digital Combat Sim) and is an exact replica of a F-18 Super Hornet. It is scaled so that when you use controls in real life they respond in vr and it tracks where your hands are moving so you can see what controls you are activating instead of just guessing.

Yo I wanna say I've been a fan since before setup wars ever existed. Keep up the good work bro!

Love this video ed. Please do more!!❤

Whoaaa wasn’t expecting to see my setup here. Thanks for the 9/10!!!

Nice to see you back !

That 2/10 set up sent shivers up my spine. Judging by the roof, thats a shed. Thats 1 rain storm away from a really bad day 😱🤯

sweet series loved all these set ups - the cabin setup was the best 10/10 - as someone who does music production for a hobby and loves the mountains i totally get that setup, although the red gaming chair was a bit unique :P

Dude love your channel you hava great on camera skills and good humor.

Owner of the setup shown at 7:27! Actually have changed a few things from the setup. Thanks for the 7/10. Will try to get better this year!

The 2nd to last setup is probably one of my favorites. Especially if they bottom monitor would have been touch screen, and a higher end PC. I think I would have also gone with a deeper desk as well to open it up a bit more.

That crochet setup is actually so sick

"Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do" lol.

we love u Ed!!! you always make me happy when you post something!!!

Great video, I hope for another one of these :)

Love the channel. Definitely inspired by all the clean set ups, and making changes to my gaming set up with all the recommendations you give. I also ordered one of your awesome mouse pads a few weeks ago to replace my huge 48x24 mouse pad, but it hasn't arrived in the mail. Any idea why it's taking long to get here? Thanks for all you do my guy!

I have a balcony setup like 14:41. When it rains or you go to sleep you just put a plastic cover over it. There is a balcony on top of it, so only shear winds will push rain into the setup. Thats easy to handle. You also see that there is nothing on the ground that gets in trouble with standing water. I put my computer iMac (with 2 Thunderboldt Displays) inside only when we have a strong storm warning. I love to be in nature when working. Especially the smell of the fir trees should be great and inspiring

Love the vids man been watching for years ❤

I knew ed would cover r/battlestations eventually! Such a great sub with a lot of creative and interesting setups

That flight sim for vr near the beginning is likely for DCS. They remake the cockpit as in game you can push all the buttons in the cockpit. It's pretty sweet. This way what you see in vr is also right in front of you. It's a labour of love

8:26 I work at a news station as a photog/editor and I can vouch that our directors have the same setup in the booth and routinely do this with just two eyes. It's fun to watch them work. Same with our master control engineer who monitors all of our channels our network is responsible for in our local area.

The sliding TV!!!!!!! mind blowing

i'm actually surprised edgar DOESNT have a racing sim setup considering the car he drives

Thanks for the kind words man! I will submit to setupwars as soon my setup is finished AGAIN lol, currently starting from scratch for some fine tuning

I can't stop following this channel OMG

"What in the CIA is goin on here?!" I LOLed at that

In regards to the TV Station set up at 9 minutes, that's quite a normal amount of monitors for a broadcast production space and I would assume is operated by 1-3 people. My work is very similar, and yes, your eyes get very tired after 8 hours in those rooms.

Beautiful long video worth every second.

I have a flight sim setup but not with VR or advanced controls like that, you can actually interact with the external controls, buttons and levers so that its a much more realistic flying experiance in addition with VR

I love this video I watch all your videos your my favorite youtuber!

Oh the portal mirror setup! One of those "I wish I thought of that" add-ons.

The guy with the 6 monitors I use almost the exact same setup with 4 48inch LG c2 OLEDs. The top two are interior and exterior security cameras

14:00 at least he goes outside unlike the rest of us

the reaccion to see your setup is amazing!!

I love your videos so muchhh man

If you make this a series, I would be happy Ed!!!

Nice video Ed!

I get so excited when I get a notification that you posted

Another awesome video! Thank you 🙏 hope you and your beautiful family are all well and healthy!

Cable management looks like my pubs during the pandemic. I'm crying 😆

great vid as always

awesome idea, love it

“Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do” And the cockpit setup; think of it a little like this the real world controls are mirrored in VR, it’s an advanced version of showing your Oculus 2 where your couch is, but you get see the cushions compress when you sit down wearing VR

lots of great setups but the ones that do it for the clicks such as the one on the balcony turn me off. The CoD theme at 12:00 was pretty cool. Glad I found your channel, new sub!

Some of these setups give me something to strive for. 👌

14:03 that setup, is the "honey, go and play outside with other kids" from your mom! Hahaha 🤣

For the news station work space, there are several people uses and looks at those monitors. It's usually the Director and CG operator that are up front monitoring what's going on program. Seems like the audio booth isn't even on that photo which is a 3rd person to monitor what's going over program.

man since I watch this I spend more money in a few days than I do in my whole life.... So mutch inspiration.. thx for the vid.

14:29 Ed got me laughing my guts off

the flight sim has 1:1 controls based of the F-18 Hornet, you can actually press them since DCS (the game) has realistic controls that sometimes need to be pressed shortly after eachother, it just makes it more realistic

Please make this a series!

Thanks for good videos!

8:30 yea thats like a standard for most media productions home centers, i went to college and used my internship at a place in tampa and we had 21 monitors and i was responsible for odds, and the head tech has evens. they were all numbered based on a geo/time references. i wld go home with what i called blue screen headaches. fun job tho and great for multitaskers.

“Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to to”. lol

Damn that dog blends in well at 24:35

number one recommendation in algorithm. probably the "reations" video are always a good topic.

the short answer is yes for that flight sim: however I believe these sim-pits are replica versions to what you see in the VR headset as well to reduce that confusion. I plan on creating a sim-pit of this caliber myself but even more custom for non VR and for space flight sims rather than aviation. this is distant future tho...(like when star citizen finally releases or leading up to that lol)

Granny setup is great till you accidentally drink the candle instead of your drink while intense gaming lol

We have a similar setup up like the News Station layout. I can tell you 1 person can totally control and monitor all those displays. Sadly as we don't play out from our station anymore we have 1 room full of monitors just sitting idle and the other dedicated to our security cameras network.

The hexagon gave me The Dark Knight vibes from when Batman was trying to track down the Joker/Two face and Morgan Freeman was freaked out. Also, I work at a small local station and we have anywhere from 2-3 people in the control room. But we also don't monitor that many channels. It just depends on how big the station is.

can you make a video about the best monitor positions

The upvotes in the subreddit are because a setup is interesting, different, exciting to see. Not necessarily because it's the best setup ever with the most expensive parts available in the world. I enjoyed looking at all the "top" setups in the video, in my opinion some of the critic was fair, but not in touch with the spirit of the particular subreddit.

Sheesh some of these setups are quite comfy. Wish mine was like these.

yeah love this keep this up

"The fact that the dog matchs the color scheme" -Chad Ed daddy🗿

There's also r/averagebattlestations for budget set ups. It'd be cool to see your suggestions on some of those

0:47 very nice detail on the song choice

I love these set ups

14:00 i feel like if you had a desk with wheels that could lock it would be a pretty good setup for nice summer days
