to answer your question about why we keep watching the show, the reason that we keep watching it is because it is cool and interesting to see people's interesting setups but that's not just it another reason is because we want to support you and your channel! Keep up the incredible work Edgar!

[@StolenBikeYGS]

Plus, every setup is unique in its own way, so we always have something new to learn about from Ed

[@MuhammaddAbdullahh]

he keeps making it, we keep watching it😊😊

[@ZalotNX]

@@StolenBikeYGS its so true

[@geekenergy]

I see setup wars as each individual’s piece of art who hand crafted and selected what they want and how we can all look at a set up and appreciate them and take inspiration from them much like a different song from different artists you’ll still listen to music indefinitely because each iteration is different and unique

[@ryleyw3684]

Well said, it's good inspiration plus Ed is just a cool guy

[@stephtz13]

Not a sob story just answering why i watch.....It tool me till about 8 years ago. I am 38. To get my first gaming PC. I am disabled now as i was a firemen and Emt. Over the years i have been able with the help of my wife to build my own game room. I deal with chronic severe pain. Started watching your show years ago when i battled at my worst. And still do to this day. your setup wars gave me peace man. That's why i still watch till this day. a lot of tough things happened over the years. And these shows help bring me some peace and smiles. Seems small. But sometimes the small distractions are enough to quite the chaos. Thank you!

[@pizzamann95]

Thank you for your service.

[@draxxx_exe]

This should be pinned. These are the reasons that such a simple “show” can make such an impact. Thanks for all you’ve done and I wish you the best in life! 🫶🏼

[@Svanir.80]

Holy…Luke’s desk is crazy good. Amazing work 😮 Why do I love Setup Wars? Even prior to the pandemic, this was a little hobby of mine, but when everything went down and we all started working from home, that hobby became an obsession. So much time is spent in this space with work and play, I had to make my space the best it could be. I loved tuning in to see what everybody else was doing with their setups, and some folks' creativity is off the charts. To this day, I still find joy and inspiration in the show, and hope to see it continue for many more episodes

[@SomeoneWhoForgot]

You get to see so many different setups, so many different approaches, so many ideas to do ur own setup with. I fell in love with this channel back in 2018, so i could plan my setup build when i could move to my own place, 3 long years later i did fulfill my dream of having my own setup. Im still learning new tips&tricks from techsource and from his amaizing discord community

[@fidelsicad8746]

+ 1 to this comment, I started building my PC after few months on my first work(2015). Then after some year Covid happen and was playing games with friends, just looking at my PC setup gives me that satisfaction of what i had also achieve and checking this channel often gives me idea to improve more of the current setup. Just looking back with my current setup is what i wish when i was still a kid and want that gaming/work setup.

[@owlwoodworks]

Thank you very much!

[@DarthDre]

​@@owlwoodworks how do you deal with heat on the wireless charging set up? My phone alone heats up whilst using a magfit case and wireless charger holder.

[@owlwoodworks]

@ My wireless chargers have also done this and I was concerned about it, but this one hasn’t had that problem. My phone still gets warm on it, but I think because the wireless charging receiver is outside the body of the keyboard, it doesn’t get nearly as warm. Not warm at all actually. I think the heat problem is because the receiver in phones is literally inside the metal box that is the phone. So just like any wireless chargers, phones get warm, but the keyboard is not an issue because the receiver is added outside.

[@Temurule]

That ending scared the carp out of me! I’ve been watching Setup Wars for almost four years and never get tired of admiring the incredible creativity and unique designs behind all the different setups. I finally started building my own setup this August and hope to finish it by the end of the year so I can participate in this amazing show. Much love from China❤

[@RoTeNdO]

Bro... at 20:42 I was like... "This better be a f@cking joke!" ... and it was. I don't know what I would do without seeing this series because other creators doesn't do it the same. I don't know how long I've been watching it, but it had inspired me to submit my own setup, which go featured... after Pirate Gamer's. I continued watching and building new setups and looking forward to submit another setup soon. I also enjoy watching setups from all over the world from young and old and different backgrounds. Keep it up!

[@xtheyan]

We are still watching because it became so much more than the setups. It's the vibes, the coziness, the jokes, the community.. Honestly, I'm still as excited to discover new setups now as I was when I was watching 7-8 years ago. And even if I pretty much have my dream setup, it's always fun to find new ways to upgrade it over time! Thank you for everything man!

[@BabaV-gg8ev]

It's an addiction, man! You don't ask the guy doing weed why he keeps coming back to the weed man. Set up wars is like caffeine or nicotine to the PC enthusiast.

[@TechSource]

😂

[@Unknown-Thief]

So true! I've stop watching setup wars in the past, but I always see myself coming back, and rewatching older episodes. 😂

[@eriknordgaard233]

Couple reasons: -inspiration: I cannot wait for the day when I can build myself a setup to send to this show. I’ve got screenshots of this show saved for designs I want to use -it’s really entertaining: the show is always really well put together and you have a great eye for setups -the videos are easily enjoyable: this is such a welcome break from all the chaos on the news, the theme is pretty wholesome and it’s a nice break from reality. As I write this I’m taking a 30 min break from running the business I just started and really enjoying how this show slows me down and relaxes me

[@theshxdowyt]

No im not even lying... YOU ACTUALLY SCARED ME AT THE END

[@g0atedntg0ated]

Same, I was so scared 😆

[@qwip-s4s]

I was terrified

[@PixelParanoid]

To answer your question Ed, I think it has more to with curiosity within the human nature. People are always interested in others with similar interests. Here it's setups, people like to socialise and talk about interests, and in real life not a lot of people can find others with interests as niche as this. I mean not every average joe is going to chat you up about cable management and personalisation on your desk, to most it'd just be a simple picture of family and thats it. This show gives people a medium to discuss this interest, see what others are cooking with their setups, and people who are going to make a new setup or about to improve their own can get inspiration obviously. Even if they aren't people always love to see what others are up to and with setup wars it's all in one place, its like a virtual hangout while serving the competitive spirit everyone has, comparing everyones setups and everyone's innovative approaches. The hosting you do is fun, and theres always something fresh with the submitted setups which keeps people hooked, not to mention the different editions you do provide variety. okay thats it felt like im typing as analysis essay for college lol

[@TechDaddyGaming]

Why I love watching Setup Wars! Talk about obsession. . . no setup is ever complete. They constantly changing. We all know that feeling. It's complete and whole and then new things come out and taste changes. It never ends! I love seeing what people build. Inspiration and creativity at its finest! I have been working on my setup for about 5 years, and due to moves, it has changed drastically, both in location and size! Being in the setup is super satisfying! Keep em coming!

[@mkhracing1]

can t belive its been 9 years. i watched the first ever set up wars when i was 7, used to watch during the middle of the night and i havnt watched in years. Brings good memories back, hopefully this series continues

[@Duelist-Demon]

0:35 It's literally like a dream since i first started watching the series. i knew i would make my own setup one day, and now here we go. After 5 years, i made it 2k$ setup. It's not that crazy but it's all what i want, so I will keep watching because nothing is impossible on the long term

[@pharaohsmagician8329]

Thats awesome!⭐ Very encouraging. Its always very satisfying when a goal and dream comes true after many years, makes Life Worth Living!

[@derekgiardino8648]

I've been watching for over 2 years, never commented or anything. Joined the discord server only cause you inspired me to make a go at my own setup. Its not god enough for set up wars and thats exactly why I come back every 2 weeks. This is a never ending journey. The innovation of your viewers is the reason this show lives on. The specs may be similar, the monitor layout has been done before, but the combination of original ideas, peripherals, cpu, use of space, its just never the same. I draw inspiration from every one who makes a go at it. thank you for continuing the ever changing process of a setup. To all of us who watch and build our setup is our escape, our home. Its our original life space that makes us feel unique but connected. Its fun to be part of this community and I cant wait to see what people around the world do next to make the next...setup wars seal of approval.

[@tonyarzate90]

No question at the start of a video has inspired me to respond and post a comment. I love the consitency while also loving all the changes. This is the first channel and series I ever watched when getting into PCs. There's so much pride to be taken when it comes to a build and setup. I also love watching the growing trends in the PC build and setup world. I really hope this never changes or goes away. It gives us PC folks a platform to show off the place of pride that we live in/at and check out other people's places of pride. Love this channel and series, never stop

[@matthewadaniya]

Setup Wars is absolutely inspiring, literally life changing(In my opinion), gives me hope every Monday, and helps me bond with my family cause we all have setups. Don't ever stop Setup Wars! You made a masterpiece!💪

[@sadmanratul24]

The question you asked. Why do we watch setup wars? I don't know about anyone but for me I just love it. As a pc freak guy I love to watch people setup. I have a really bad setup and by watching your setup wars I get inspired and I hope one day i can make my own setup too. And the other thing is I love you and your content. I watch every single video as soon as they are out. I hope you never stop this series and we are always here to support you.

[@Sol1dYT]

I think people still watch is because it inspires them to build something themselves and show it off to people

[@jamesmilholen9444]

I will admit that I am infrequent viewer. I go through phases where I ponder how I would redo my own (poor) set up, or wonder what others might be up to. And then I come here, and settle in and watch these set up wars videos and...they are simply comforting. Its hard to really put it into words exactly why, but these always bring a smile to my face, inspire me and, again, bring me a sense of comfort. So thanks for sticking with it all these years!

Hope there's another 9yrs of them!

[@blizruby]

been following since 2020, after having seen all the peak setups i merely watch for entertainment and to use the setup ideas to create my own ideal setup. even after the years im still enjoying this show (especially the minimalist setups) so do keep up with the good work!

[@gdshordy5008]

I've been watching this series since episode 200, when I was 13, I'm now 17 and I still watching this series, I take all the tips and ideas that you have presented and implemented into my setup, as well as take ideas from the people who have presented their setup. I'll still watch this series and continue to see it grow as time moves on, congrats on the 9th anniversary.

[@magi404]

I found your channel in 2016, since then I've battled depression, cancer, and that's not even counting the pandemic. Life has had its upside and downs and Setup Wars was a beautiful source of comfort through a lot of it. :) it's inspiring and for me a great reminder of how big the world is, how we can all love tech and tailor it to our own needs and passions. Idk I didn't mean to get philosophical lol but yeah I love this show, thanks for all you do ❤

[@M2Aaron]

IM STILL WATCHING BECAUSE IT IS SO ENTERTANING AND INSPIRING TO WATCH! I've watched the series for 3 years and i still wait for every episode. I wonder if i should submit mine because im in the discord, but i don't know. Anyways the best series on youtube, the same with flip or flop!

[@radabbadaa]

Since 2021 when I first found setup wars, I've planned a setup that I still haven't executed. Im working towards it to this day and every single episode teaches me a thing or two about setups and how to utilize everything I currently have. There are endless possibilities to how a setup can look and this series is the evidence. And the growth you've had over the years is crazy and I would love to continue watching this series for the sole purpose of supporting you. Love you man, keep up the good work!

[@Noah321...]

0:29 for inspiration, I can imagine setups but everyone has there own idea of a setup and it's fun seeing what there perception of there setup is.

[@PLVNTVINPVPI]

To answer your question, for me I discovered the show in 2022. Although I started my setup in 2020 with an Xbox one. Since then, I have obsessed with watching the creativity others around the world have been able to bring to the table. I am currently working on my setup to finally submit to the show. it's been a dream of mine since discovering the show to submit and I am so close now and so proud of what I have been able to do and all thanks to this show. Seeing all the different idea people have around the world knowing you're not the only one feels really good. This show pushed me to do thing and learn things I would have never known about myself most notability building my gaming pc having not had a computer for some years other than a MacBook. I'm looking forward to continuing to watch new setups and to seeing my own setup on your show as that is one of my goals for the year. Cheers to your 9 years. Also, my heart sunk to my ass when you said this was the last episode of setup wars when I'm so eager to submit lmao

[@deadb0y692]

I watch setup wars because I wish to have one for myself. 1:03

[@WestEpicVisuals]

I don't tune in regularly, but I'll binge every now and then. You've been doing this for so long that you're so good at it. I know what to expect, it's high quality and a fun corner of KZbin where the comments aren't a cesspool of folks hating on eachother. It's a fun place to be!

[@SainLanParty]

Greetings ED! I have been subscribed to your channel for about five years and I watch each and every video you upload to the channel. At the time I discovered your channel through Setup Wars and that's what made me subscribe. I usually build computers and prepare my friends' setups and your series is a great inspiration for me. Please let it never end!!!😊

[@theshxdowyt]

20:06 Yes, it really did

[@Larv6464]

Same here 🎉

[@Twang35745]

I am one of the people who has been watching you for a LONG time. I remember when you didn't have your own desk mats, and when your first warehouse was broken into. The only reason i say that, is because i do enjoy your take on things, however i keep tuning into setup wars because there really isn't anything like it. The best way I can think to associate it, is its like the "nerd" version of "MTV cribs" - if you are someone that has to work on a computer full time or just enjoy new technology, its nice to see other peoples setups and what they've done. while i agree with you that you have probably shown every possible configuration, the items in the setup are typically different, I don't think in all of the episodes I have seen that 2 peoples setups where the EXACT same. (disclaimer: I have probably not seen every episode, but I've seen the majority of them) so to more directly answer your question, i tune in to these episodes, because i enjoy seeing what people do with their setups.... another interesting one would be to tie in the setups with what the person uses them for.

[@javier5215]

The reason why I keep watching setup wars is simple, its interesting to see what other people do with what they have. different trends come and go. Sometimes I see someone on your show come up with something interesting and I want to replicate it so I can refresh my setup. I see parts of my setup scattered across many episodes and Im still impressed at how they work with their spaces given, budgets, etc. Sometimes people come up with really tacky designs but I still love them because (even though I'd never do it to my setup) its fun to see what people come up with. I love the good, bad and everything in-between. It's not just about buying the best and hiding the cables. I get inspired by the color designs, mixing and matching products. Sometimes I even get excited when someone has the same mouse or keyboard that I do. I'd never show my setup the show because I'm too shy and get embarrassed easily but I'm proud of those who have the courage to do so. I learn something new with every episode.

[@noahhagenYT]

I feel like there’s just something therapeutic about the way the videos are made and also getting great ideas at the same time. As someone who dreams of one day having his own dream setup, I find that setup wars gives me a great example or basis for where I could start and where it could end up if I put my mind to it. This is a series that I will always love to watch. But, I also love the computer builds and microcenter trips as well.

[@avgsetup]

I’ve been watching SetupWars since 2015 and the reason I always come back is to get inspiration for my own setups. It’s always great to have a central place to come to and see setups that others have built that you wouldn’t have seen otherwise. Love this series!

[@DanS443]

I've watched basically every episode here and on a bunch of other setup channels. People seem to have infinite creativity and the hardcore subscribers are ALWAYS looking for that next idea! I've been building setups and my own PCs since 1998. Trends and tech come and go...one day people will use something other than Alex drawers because the next thing will be here. This is what keeps the hobby interesting. I now have a 13yr old boy who's getting into it and we've sat and watched many episodes together. This channel rocks...don't even joke about it calling it off. Keep doing what you do buddy. You're at the top of the game here. Right...back to the episode ❤️

[@Dinugujon]

I'm pretty late but I absolutely love setup wars. I just love the creativity people have. Whenever you think you've seen everything, someone like Luke comes out with an amazing set up that I feel no one has done or hasnt executed as well. Definitely gives me inspiration.

[@paulhjelmen8495]

I still watch and I have watched for many years now because I love your attention to detail. You take your work very seriously and you're having artistic look at something that is mechanical which I love. And when you give out the seal of approval it's always interesting to see what was different about each setup that made the one stand out in your mind so it gives me an alternative view. Thank you for the years of inspiration.

[@TitosPT]

I will answer but firstly OMG THAT OG INTRO!!! Loved how you just sneaked that old intro in this vídeo! It's really been a while! About the series, it's just something that works, whoever likes tech likes to see what's new, or what others are doing with their setups, there is always new gear, new decoration ideas, new keyboard styles, it's not about the specs, it is mostly about the style, and to that even tho we maybe already saw some of the BEST setups, there is always more, creativity has infinite potential so we like to see what else people did with their setups/gaming rooms to get ideas as well and even try some of them on our own setups/gaming rooms, and you make these vídeos to be very good content to watch by making it simple, giving tips and some funny jokes as well here and there, to me personally it's a good vibe to watch these while working or even having a meal at the pc. Been around for years now, but I don't usually comment and I'm not active on Discord, but I do truly follow all your content and I saw you going from the first Big Red to this point, and this series is still amazing and just like any other you doing it's all great content. Keep it up, have fun and wish you and your family the best! :D

[@chrs_lee]

As a drop-in viewer, I will say what brings me around is that everyone has a different style. Just because it's been done before, doesn't mean it's a carbon copy; there's something to learn. it's just fun to take that peek into someone else's mind. Holiday home displays/tours, car shows, art displays...it's all a peek at what someone else likes. Sometimes it's personal validation, sometimes it's "wow that was kinda a train wreck, but if they like it".

[@ish2222]

Setup wars might be inspiration for some but for me it's a guilty pleasure. I don't have the time because of work to plan and build these amazing setups but seeing all these different creative setups that people from across the world build just makes me happy. As simple as that so Ed, don't ever stop this series

[@ItsAfzal]

Why do I love watching Setup Wars? I don't know, but it's really satisfying to watch, almost like a stress buster. It shows you that with enough dedication, you can go to any extreme to achieve your goals. It's one of the best series ever made on KZbin for all the gamers out there.

[@moocher9935]

I've been watching Setup Wars since about episode 200 when I first found you... I'm still watching as I love seeing everyone's journey... I liked Carter & Lukes setups & you were astounded by Luke's setup which you gave the 71st Seal of Approval... Surely this tells you why we are all still watching Setup Wars... Yes we may have seen every layout possible but it's still inspiring to me to see other peoples visions & I'm 56 years old

[@joshuamasunda1012]

Let me chime in here. The reason I still watch this is because it's a source of motivation. I'm a broke college student and well when school gets too real I remember exactly what I want one day so long as I keep up the work. Thanks Ed for all your hard work and I hope to one day submit my own setup one day.

[@itsjustjar4950]

We watch setup wars because every episode gives an equal possibility to see something amazing and derive ideas from that. This show has inspired many many people (myself included) to make positive changes. For example, I would have never realized how important cable management is and how big of a difference it really makes if it wasn’t for this show. Thank you for being so consistent with it we all really appreciate it.

[@Larv6464]

I love seeing all the different and interesting setups of people who submit their rooms. It gives me immense inspiration for my own setup, which I plan on submitting when it is fully completed. I completely agree with your decisions on who gets the seal of approval as well. I wish setup wars could be every Monday instead, but I understand you are very busy. Thank you for your content. I look forward to the many episodes and years to come too!

[@SirJo2]

Why I keep coming back to this series: I love looking at everyone's hard work, I love the kudos and critiques you give and it is through everything this series has offered that when I am able to make a setup, it will be glorious. When I'm finally able to have a playable experience in Google snake of course. 😮‍💨

[@cosmicHypathius940]

The reasin why I personally still enjoy Setup Wars is to ponder upon the beauty of the people's imagination to customize their own desktop in the way they like. I don't even think some people will ever get bored of this series.Nonetheless, great series Edgar and we truly appreciate the series.

[@ChengHorn9]

I've been watching this series since about 2016 when I learned about your channel because it has given me ideas for my own setup. Even though trends tend to persist for a while until they don't, I'm always up for getting new ideas and you have always done a good job of selecting a flowing variety from episode to episode. Keep it up!

[@PhageShot]

Honestly because there are so many possible combinations and creativity from people, to basic just desk and clean peripherals/pc to outright crazy custom walls for their setups, the sky is literally the limit and getting the opinion of a veteran pc builder is like the cherry on top because we get an opinion of basically an expert.

[@19WolfGirl74]

I love watching setup wars because even if some things are repeated, it’s always different and interesting and even awe inspiring. People can get so creative it’s insane and trends are always changing. All it takes is one person to have a brilliant idea and the system is changed all over again

[@kdubspencer3390]

Setup wars is the go to spot for desk inspiration i would've never even considered doing a desk if it wasnt for me randomly finding your channel . I was a console player so I always played on the living room tv but after watching you a few years ago I moved my ps5 to a desk setup , got a pc ,floating dual monitors , great cable management and did an entire boba fett themed desk but i play pc games with pro controllers with mouse like clicks and have the playnite program installed with a ps5 theme so my pc functions like a ps5 when it boots up that way it's easy for friends and family to know how to pc game because it functions just like a PS5.

[@g0atedntg0ated]

To answer your Question Ed, I've been watching for over 2 years, and I always love to see setups. I love to see how different they are, and how they can inspire me to change my setup. I hope these videos never end cause i love them, also you had me tripping for a second at the end thank goodness you aren't ending the series tho cant wait for some more episodes ❤

[@blyp48]

I've been watching the show for 6 years or so and I keep coming back to find inspiration and new ideas to upgrade my own, and also to see how certain new things may be set up. Also, simply love Ed and the channel

[@xer6334]

I started getting into pcs around 2016 from my uncles then 1 year after I discovered your channel and i realized that there is alot more to setups than just having a pc and a monitor with a desk and chair , its the creativity thats put into it and the stories behind them as well.

[@kk0ss]

Setup wars is genuinely some of the best content out there. Also it’s one of the few remaining video series that allow for pc enthusiasts to connect. It’s genuinely hype looking at others epic setups and improving our own as a result

[@ripodc]

I keep watching because it never gets old. I am going to see new setups every single episode and nothing will be repeated, and it keeps me up to date with what setups are like and if I want to make some changes i have an amazing collection (I don't know what other word to use but you get it) to choose from and its just awesome. and Luke's set up is just it man, simple, functional and looks ridiculously nice.

[@priankachoudhury]

I'll share my perspective on why I personally LOVE Setup Wars 1 Congrats on 350th video! I've been around since the mid 100s episode :) 2. Me personally, I find constant inspiration through the series and I recommend it to a lot of my friends who love gaming and may not know about your channel. To your point, we HAVE seen a lot of them and a lot of them start to feel similar, but I think that's part of the challenge? We see a lot of similarities, and then you have a few who wants to be further challenged and differentiate themselves to stand out from the norm 3. I also happen to LOVE interior design/decorating and follow a lot of those channels as well. A lot of the interior design channels reviews and discusses what's trending, what's in and what's not, what's timeless and HOW interior decorating and design evolves over time and how design styles come in and out (example: A few years back, everyone was OBSESSED with grey interiors....grey walls, grey floors, so a lot of people renovated or built homes with grey everything, etc and now interior design styles have evolved to introducing warm and dark moody colors. Who knows, grey interiors might come back in the future again!). I think of Setup wars in a similar light to see how gaming setups evolve over time and what comes and goes :)

[@robertvelasco6475]

Luke is the reason why we watch set up wars. A lot are similar with different configurations but every once in a while you see something that inspires you to rethink what you thought was good.

[@dillbill2A]

How are the temps on Luke's drawer PC though? Something like that would be so easy to keep clean and to change parts out when the time comes. That's such a neat idea.

[@mothy_2451]

the only reason why im still wanting to watch this even after 5 years is because i love to see the personalitys through peoples setups

[@cerberus812]

I started watching during the pandemic when I needed a new hobby while locked down. I still watch to live vicariously through others' set ups. I cannot continually update/upgrade my setup so I enjoy seeing what else is possible.

[@Kellobytes]

your series is one of those things that helps fill the void of my need for entertainment. KZbin being one of the avenues. it helps pass the time. And Techsource just so happens to have content that i enjoy consuming.

We're all here for the community. It's awesome to watch the trends change and the way all of us have our own flavor of a setup. Please don't kill the series. You were the first channel I ever saw when I built my first pc in 2017. Thank you for all the episodes and helping us all share our passion'

[@PandoRides]

Honestly the biggest reason I come back even after a year or so of watching.. is mainly because of the setups (ironic right?) I love seeing everyone's take on setups, from small to huge, from expensive setups to cheaper ones. It even helps me build mine by taking ideas from the setups into my own setup, and it's also just enjoyable to watch these videos when they get uploaded.

[@aleks8077]

I literally can't believe that I'm watching setup wars since I was in 7th grade and now I'm in college. Time flies so fast, I'm also grateful that I manifested to have a mid range laptop to work on since I'm freelancer, it's not the best but I'm grateful that this series inspired me to learn more about tech as I grew older. It also inspired me to work hard so that I can have my own setup. One of the reasons why I still watch the series is actually dopamine, to motivate myself and to see people have cool stuff/cool setups that they love and how they were passionate to build or to design them.

[@ThatOneLazyNerd]

I've been watching for about 5 years now. I've watched for so long because of all of the amazing set ups and all of the inspiration this show gives me. I'd like to see an episode of sit/stand desk set ups.

[@zingbear2731]

It's like art. There is never one exactly like the same. I keep watching because I see something new each time, each one helps me set goals for my own setup. Plus, it is nice to see the passion of everyone out there.

[@TechOptimal]

First off, when you have a hobby like building pc's, it never gets old seeing someone else's build. I think in the last few years having a room based around your pc build has become so popular, but it's great seeing it just the same. I could, sometimes do, just watch people build their setups from start to finish, it tickles the ocd I think!

[@livingdauntless]

I only started watching this year - but even still, there's so much creativity and personality in each and every one of these set ups. Everyone starts somewhere, and the best thing is that building a set up means you never have to keep building it better

[@elviejokiba]

Hola Edgar, a tu pregunta, y si estoy escribiendo en español, sigo viendo tu serie, por lo bonito que es ver la creatividad de la gente y como va evolucionando a medida que otras personas tienen diferentes ideas, y estas se van retroalimentando, creo que el primer capítulo que vi de Setup Wars fue el 30 mas o menos, ya que empecé a buscar maneras de ver mi mesa mucho mas limpia y atractiva, y gracias a ti, puse mis primeras luces Led, detrás de la mesa y a día de hoy lo sigo mejorando con cada idea, que aporta esta maravillosa comunidad. Por último y lo más importante, son los momentos que nos has dado a todos y a mi en lo personal, por mostrarnos esta faceta tuya y que tanto me ha gustado, comento en el noveno aniversario, ya que el 9 es un número muy importante en mi vida, ya que en muchas fechas con el 9 he tenido momentos importantes y trascendentales en mi vida. Por esto y mucho mas Ed, muchísimas gracias y feliz noveno aniversario. :D

[@zoubeirtouhami5322]

honestly very simple this is the series that ever since i started watching it in 2020 inspired me to switch to PC and build a whole setup (considering participating in setup wars myself) and i love watching the series every time an episode drops, it just keeps the setup passion alive and update and its true that while some setups and designs come back multiple times we can still see the trends slowly evolve over time, like nowadays seeing more mature setups with the wood panels for exemple

[@Grammerssetups]

TechSource says “why”. The reason why I’ve been watching and keep watching is not just for the inspiration but to hear you give your opinions to help people make their setup better, and you give such detailed reviews. Thank you TechSource

[@EerieClay]

I know I watch for a few reasons. Firstly it's like a nice habit, the quality and effort make them easy to watch and I enjoy seeing Ed. Secondly it's just simply pleasing to the brain to see symmetry and most of the featured set-ups present something unique whether they're considered "best" or not. Finally would be the inspiration, I've been recently upgrading my set-up more and it's been making me happier and even helped me finally start making my own content.

[@sgxsaint3130]

The thing with set up wars is that we can see how aesthetics changes through time and that people will find inspirations from these to build their own set ups. Theres an unlimited number of ways to build a set up and its cool to see how it changes throughout the years.

[@glebasmilasius6963]

Ed, setup wars and any other series is like therapy, with each new video upload, there is something funny in the videos, something inspiring, joyful to watch and also happy 9th Techsource anniversary, keep up the great work, and keep on inspiring others. Best feeling ever.

[@colbylackie38]

Here is a new series idea for setup wars. Do a throwback edition and review some of the older setups again from the beginning episodes of setup wars and with the knowledge you have now critique the setups with how you would fix them now!

[@TropicXV]

There's no expiration date on creativity. I love how other people tackle their setups their own way, and it also keeps giving me new ideas an inspirations for my own setup.

[@RheyneMusic]

I find these very inspirational for designing my own setup, which is usually just temporary… I like to change things around for a fresh perspective, and seeing new takes on ergonomics (or lack thereof) is very inspiring.

[@codyd7841]

ive only been watching setup wars for 2 year now i think people keep watching it because the backlog doesn't get featured in the algorithm as much. the new videos are always going to bring a new experience to someone. it sounds like setup wars has become a part of you over the years of doing it. Regardless of where setup wars goes ill always remember this is as a place that started a new world of sharing how we make our own setup ours.

[@emotionalrabbit531]

Initially, I subbed and liked watching the episodes just for relaxation with a bit of entertainment. But yeah, I gained more than that as time goes on. Eventually, I learned a lot more than I could have thought of. And who wouldn't love watching those beautiful setups? It's like an obsession that's good for my mind and keeps my hopes up, like "Someday I'm going to set up my own and send it to TS for feedback, tips, and advice." I may not be a regular viewer or have been subscribed for years, but I love watching your videos. For some personal reasons, I couldn't be on the list of your top viewers. Lastly, Thank you for sharing all those ideas and works you put in for us(viewers).

[@shangobashi]

It's relaxing asf and you make me laugh (few can). Binged a year's worth when I discovered your channel a year ago. Life's been tougher since then so whenever you drop and I get some time to watch, it calms me like few things left are able to.

[@phoenixlord4808]

I love watching setup wars because I’m always trying to optimize my setup and to find the best gear. Setup wars is the main center of inspiration for upgrading my own setup and I love seeing others’ creativity.

[@CoarseLemon]

I think setup wars is done with perfection. Ive been watching for 7-8 years and ive tuned into many, many videos. Its you techsource that makes the videos enjoyable! your choice of words and your jokes and everything are awesome!! thats why I watch!

[@havokharakiri]

Congrats on 350 brother! Even with my years of building setups and content creation, I still get inspired watching setup wars! Especially seeing the custom work that people do in there setups. It motivates me to keep upgrading mine. XD

[@mamdouh5069]

Honestly Ed, I watch the show mostly because of you and not the setups. The way you present the setups and the series as a whole it clicks in with your charachter, and I also watch it for setup ideas to improve mine!! Keep it up

[@TheStrangeMann]

I think the reason this series is so popular is because the creativity is INSANE! People all over the world get inspiration because of all these setups!

[@Needmegadarkrai]

Everyone is different, everyone buys different gear, has different personalities, etc. Setup Wars is a great outlet for these different products, personalities, styles. Super inspiring... it really helps people find new gear or styles they might be into that they would've never known about before. I will always expect new unique layouts with your series because you have a good fanbase that like to try new unique setups to submit on the show.

[@LuhSyco]

I keep watching because I come back around every month and enjoy seeing all the new things people do in their setups. Even in short periods of time styles of setups change so much.

[@Kane_Jr.]

Why do I keep watching set up wars? No set up is the same. Set ups are a reflection of your character. It’s nice to see how others prefer their set ups and how they spend their free time. No matter how many episodes we may see we can always find a new inspiration and motivation in someone else’s set up. Thank you for keeping this going.

[@lyteedge]

I still enjoy watching Setup Wars after all these years because it remains fun and inspirational! You do a great job hosting and it's always interesting to see what kind of things people come up with.

[@Panchosworld-u9v]

Bro do not ever scare me like that lol you got me towards the end with that statement of ending setup wars!!!! this series has really inspired me a guy who knew almost nothing about PCs or setups like this, and in watching I have got into pc world and now I have my very own setup. keep up the awesome work it really helps and inspire us.

[@huangziyun]

I keep watching setup wars after a friend of mine introduced me to one of your videos a few years back and now I've just been OCD with my setup ever since LOL I have been upgrading my own setup using tips here and there from these videos and it really helped me. Keep up the good work with these videos! Love them

[@romilatmaramani3637]

I loveee the setup wars series , I still get inspired. Everytime I watch an episode I head on to my setup and start cable managing stufffn. Ngl this is the best series and you're the best host putting episodes regularly with a whole family to look after

[@GrantJones-eq5pe]

To answer your question about why we watch. For me it's about ideas for my own setup. It's also about how much entertainment I get from your videos. I personally like your style in the videos you make. You keep me informed on what technology is available for setups. I started watching your videos back when your office got robbed and you impressed me by how you responded to the idiots who said you staged the whole thing. I love the fact that you always put your family first. And sometime in the future would love to meet you and your family. I know that's not possible yet since I've only been lurking in your KZbin channel these past years but someday I would like to see you in person. You seem to really have your heart in the right place.

[@justin_lawrence]

The troll😂 I thought it was ending 😢 Really enjoy seeing the creativity of every submission and it's always inspiring to see how unique the setups are. I've been watching for about 3 years now but still enjoy each episode.
