As a German I can tell you that the massive box on DerBauers floor is in fact a huge drill. Most houses and Aparmant building have brick walls, so that hang stuff up you need a big ass drill
Not only brick, the outside walls are reinforced concrete, and 30 feet deep! Need at least a 10 feet drill bit and a drill with enough omph to use it! :-)

@@War_Daddy103 real and true. btw, while you're down the rabbit hole, look into the controversy where LMG was called out for mistreating employees, hostile workplace environment, awful corrupt management (his wife is/was the only HR rep), etc. ... but ofc, the only video covering it at the time was bombed with dislikes by Linus fanboys who had never even worked there, as they always do with anything remotely criticizing Linus (as Gamer's Nexus pointed out towards the end of his recent long video on LTT/LMG) (edit: go to 37:44 of that video to see what I mean about this being a pattern with linus' lapdog fanbase)
Lol this was great. At 30:56 "What's going on with that speaker who's listening to that" At the speaker just pointed in a random direction. I don't know why but that had me jarring right out.
What did you expect from "I did a thing." The fact he hasn't changed out the blades of the fans for knife blades, and isn't waster cooling with industrial pressure washers is a surprise in itself.
10:57 The wall mounted camera is genius actually. Can't knock it over and it doesn't shake with your desk when you're intensely gaming. If I were a streamer, that's where I'd mount my camera. Maybe divert a wall mounted monitor arm for some more flexibility, but I'm totally sold on the idea.
6:30 that is a, sadly, discontinued mic preamp from Universal Audio called the SOLO 610 (you can tell that it is not the SOLO 110 because it has physical switches and not light up buttons). Absolutely phenomenal preamplifier, but also incredibly niche so I’m not surprised that it was discontinued.
20:49 "Don't floss over your keyboard" I thought that was like a new term about showing off just hearing the audio, turned to look at the video, and it's literal flossing LOL. I'm old.
For Kitboga, I believe the device you were wondering about is a Roland-VT-4 Voice transformer and Effects Processor. You know how he has to mod his voice for all his characters. Good video.
yep hank and john are both fantastic fellows. it's great seeing how john has doubled down supporting hank during his cancer treatments too, FAMILY. i follow both on social media and youtube, two of my favorite influencers that aren't in the tech space.
I can't express how excited I was to see you review LGR! He absolutely doesn't get enough recognition in the TH-cam community, especially considering how long he's been a part of it.
You missed the best part of Asmon's setup, he admitted to it as he watched your Starforge video: When he had that old setup it was with a PC he didn't check for compatibility with the case all that well, so the only way it ran was with an open panel and the stand fan blowing air right into it. At 33:53 you can see the stand fan on standby right on the lower left corner.
About the ElectroBoom radio, my man, that's really really useful for debugging EMI issues or immediately finding out whether a beefy H-bridge is indeed firing. When a device misbehaves, you can hear it on the AM.
just in case you were wondering, with Hanks set up that wood wall is known as a French cleat it means you can make, or buy, the shelves so its a modular design that can easily be taken off and changed.
In Austin's defense, I had a diffused panel light once that even at 1% was still way too bright, so I had to do the exact same thing he did to diffuse it even more 🤣
well ... i rubber banded a piece of paper to my desk lamp from IKEA, bright enough for most applications but temporary enough when i want to focus on the desk for more proper stuffs like paperwork and stuff
The house I moved into has a dark green wall behind my desk so I have to have the panel facing me again. Might get a white sheet to hang behind my monitor in the future to solve the issue
4:48 shout out to Hank Green hope u continue to get better you are a great guy and personality. Also glad to see u randomly on a LTT video. A nice confluence of things and or people I like lol.
Ya know what not going to lie that was fun, and a fun way to shout out other creators while using them for content. This could be a regular thing honestly just keep on grathering creators for this kind of video I'd always tune in.
I watched the video(s) of Hardware Unboxed building his special round desk setup a couple years back. He's quite the wood worker and converted that space all on his own.
It was Linus and Austin evans that made me want to build a pc. And I finally did it last weekend. Only took me 4 hours to have windows running and games downloading. Love that you guys make it understandable for everyone. Even a filthy construction worker
Thank you all for participating . huge piece of content in reality with the massive crossover. to say nothing of youtube rewind but a big collab nonetheless . cool video idea LTT . i love wired peripherals and audio equipment so the rat's nest is strong . everything else is so weird.
Considering Steve from Hardware Unboxed has to go up against EA's weird DRM, I'd say yes, all those computers are needed. Also he designed and built the entire space himself with his own hands so no compromise was needed
Thanks LTT! Each time you release video like this, it motivates me to clean the dust off my work table, so I did it again today. Till the next setup roast!
Not everyone lives in a place where power goes out frequently, last time my area had a power outage was 12 years ago. I don't see the need to spend money on a ups when it will serve me once only every 10 years maybe. Edit: some people have talked about power surges, an outlet with a power surge protector on it is a hell of allot cheaper than a ups. That's what I have and still never has gone off once.
@@rekt_ggit’s not good just for when the power goes out. It’s for voltage fluctuation and surge protection. My house runs on solar so it’s essential since it switches from solar to the grid every few days if it’s not sunny and the batteries run out. It doesn’t happen often but it’s frequent enough.
10:05 As a German, that's exactly what I expected from Der8auer: Keeping the visible cables neatly organized while using a functional approach when the cables are hidden from sight (it's also how I do it). German efficiency applies to cable management as well! :D 13:12 Now that's someone who genuinely appreciates the special things he got. Love to see it! 15:50 OF COURSE Mrwhosetheboss has an immaculate setup XD mounting the projector screen so he can pull it down in front of his production setup it is such a genius idea! You don't need a studio and a theater/living room when you can fit both into the same room just like that! Dude just perfect efficient use of space! 21:55 Anything less would have been a disappointment from someone like MKBHD. Although I would definitely clean up those cables. I absolutely can't stand the power cable from the TV just drooping down there, it has to be covered with a slim white cable canal. and I'd hide the cables on and under the desk as well as possible. 25:48 Now THAT'S a setup I would love to have! Absolutely beautiful, it's very clean, very functional, yet not overdone! The only small changes I'd make would be to hide those drooping cables in a cable canal mounted to the underside of the desk (I love stretching my legs under my desk and HATE touching cables while doing so) and I'd replace that mousepad for a northern lights deskpad (no joke, I love mine). Also, those guitars on the wall look awesome, but it seems rather awkward to reach them and I don't see a recording interface (or amps) for them in this picture, making them feel more like decoration than instruments that are actually played which is sad. I probably wouldn't keep them there. But I only got one acoustic and one electric guitar, maybe Zack has a bunch of other guitars he prefers to play over those two...
Loved the collection of creators they got to roast here. And it was worth quite a few laughs. I always wanna hate on the cheese grater macs but GD is it slick looking when someone puts forth the effort
I loved Wendell when he was at techsyndicate. His background engagement was some of the best banter. I miss those days but its completely understandable why he left. If he had a bigger platform with a better budget, he would do some amazing things
Makes me sad seeing so many “pros” using like 2 inches of mouse space. For some unknown reason it’s been ingrained into this generations gamers that super high dpi = super high skill! No, just no please stop. Get a good 2 feet of mouse space and switch to low dpi/sens arm aiming it’s just way superior and more accurate
I can’t figure out why I still use pretty high sens + relatively little actual mousing surface area. I have tons of space and a pretty tiny keyboard (Dygma Raise), but I still hardly move my mouse lol. More wrist movement than ‘at the elbow’ arm movement….and I use a 21:9 display haha.
I think a video that compares all the different "Work Out At Your PC" systems would do pretty well. Would also be nice to have some non-scuffed reviews that compare them side by side. Most of what I have found is fake reviews or people who have only ever used the one they just bought which doesn't tell me all that much.
Hey guys and thank you @therealshadow99. Yeah I need that much space, more would be ideal really. I generally run a minimum of three test systems at the same time, especially when motherboard VRM testing. Also in the big desk area we have a full time editor as well, so he takes up a bit of space ;)
For a roasting video, thank you for not roasting me too much!!! My setup is roasting me enough already!

@@invinsible1987like meat on a hot summer day lol
Luke has absolutely the most infectious laugh I’ve ever heard, he’s perfect for this video
SOOOOOO nice to see him here more again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And Asmongold had the most infectious setup
@@LeDechaine that wasn't even infectious, just straight up a biohazard
Lol this was great. At 30:56 "What's going on with that speaker who's listening to that" At the speaker just pointed in a random direction. I don't know why but that had me jarring right out.
What did you expect from "I did a thing." The fact he hasn't changed out the blades of the fans for knife blades, and isn't waster cooling with industrial pressure washers is a surprise in itself.
i was surprised there wasn’t a severed body part on his desk
UK TH-camrs have really great setups
Arun and Vik really shows how neat their setups are
Can't say the same for Tommy
Kon did all that work and Linus only saw one of the setups smh
@@dsi24 true. he's so good at creating setups for the sidemen and others
@@ToyotaorsomthingDid you notice that he doesn't even use the keyboard he built with Glarses lol
10:57 The wall mounted camera is genius actually. Can't knock it over and it doesn't shake with your desk when you're intensely gaming. If I were a streamer, that's where I'd mount my camera. Maybe divert a wall mounted monitor arm for some more flexibility, but I'm totally sold on the idea.
21:00 No no, they skipped over Ludwig saying that he is "Pretty big about cable management."
of course schlatt's setup is immaculate, it perfectly contrasts his online persona
Fr. Legit one of the best streamer set up in this vid
His setup is clean because thats where he hid the evidence of what he did in 1999.
i wish he had a picture from the cameras point of view with the pope in the background and a pile of smashed keyboards XD
6:30 that is a, sadly, discontinued mic preamp from Universal Audio called the SOLO 610 (you can tell that it is not the SOLO 110 because it has physical switches and not light up buttons). Absolutely phenomenal preamplifier, but also incredibly niche so I’m not surprised that it was discontinued.
For Arun’s setup, the blue panels are colour changing, allowing for mood lighting for his list videos.
Shocked he didn’t also share the wall of phones
20:49 "Don't floss over your keyboard" I thought that was like a new term about showing off just hearing the audio, turned to look at the video, and it's literal flossing LOL. I'm old.
For Kitboga, I believe the device you were wondering about is a Roland-VT-4 Voice transformer and Effects Processor. You know how he has to mod his voice for all his characters. Good video.
I love seeing Luke in videos again. So happy you're back, homie
I love Hank and John's content. Great people that genuinely make my life better with their videos.
Two brothers with two totally different approaches
+
And saving lives!
yep hank and john are both fantastic fellows. it's great seeing how john has doubled down supporting hank during his cancer treatments too, FAMILY. i follow both on social media and youtube, two of my favorite influencers that aren't in the tech space.
"Mark: proceeds to roast himself"
"Linus: Proceeds to call himself short"
I'm glad someone finally exposed the TH-camrs we all watch 😂
Their crimes will never be forgiven.
I certainly dont watch the garbage Hasan
@@knockdadeathstroke3799 I certainly don't care what your watch history looks like.
@@knockdadeathstroke3799that’s right brother. I only like watching Hank Pecker because he’s a true blooded American. non of that Hasan liberal
Both of the Green Brothers' setups are pretty much exactly what I would expect.
I can't express how excited I was to see you review LGR! He absolutely doesn't get enough recognition in the TH-cam community, especially considering how long he's been a part of it.
I do love the way wendell's is on first blush completely immaculate and then you see the absolute jank that ties it together.
You missed the best part of Asmon's setup, he admitted to it as he watched your Starforge video:
When he had that old setup it was with a PC he didn't check for compatibility with the case all that well, so the only way it ran was with an open panel and the stand fan blowing air right into it. At 33:53 you can see the stand fan on standby right on the lower left corner.
This is the kind of React content I'm a fan of.
Roasts are always enjoyable
About the ElectroBoom radio, my man, that's really really useful for debugging EMI issues or immediately finding out whether a beefy H-bridge is indeed firing. When a device misbehaves, you can hear it on the AM.
@03:20 I don't plug my DP to my GPU since my mobo supports plugging it to my mobo DP and still using the GPU rendering.
Been using it since 2020.
Guys, THIS WAS SO FUN! Thank you for this neat crossover!
pog content
just in case you were wondering, with Hanks set up that wood wall is known as a French cleat it means you can make, or buy, the shelves so its a modular design that can easily be taken off and changed.
In this case it is completely custom made tho, not store bought.
@@sagerwraps9990 Oh yeah definitely
In Austin's defense, I had a diffused panel light once that even at 1% was still way too bright, so I had to do the exact same thing he did to diffuse it even more 🤣
well ... i rubber banded a piece of paper to my desk lamp from IKEA, bright enough for most applications but temporary enough when i want to focus on the desk for more proper stuffs like paperwork and stuff
The house I moved into has a dark green wall behind my desk so I have to have the panel facing me again. Might get a white sheet to hang behind my monitor in the future to solve the issue
Linus crying and Luke laughing at Asmon's OG setup is beautiful comedy gold.
4:48 shout out to Hank Green hope u continue to get better you are a great guy and personality. Also glad to see u randomly on a LTT video. A nice confluence of things and or people I like lol.
Ya know what not going to lie that was fun, and a fun way to shout out other creators while using them for content. This could be a regular thing honestly just keep on grathering creators for this kind of video I'd always tune in.
I’ll co-sign that. Would love to see at least a round 2
I watched the video(s) of Hardware Unboxed building his special round desk setup a couple years back. He's quite the wood worker and converted that space all on his own.
It was Linus and Austin evans that made me want to build a pc. And I finally did it last weekend. Only took me 4 hours to have windows running and games downloading. Love that you guys make it understandable for everyone. Even a filthy construction worker
33:01
"I feel like I'm somewhere I have to pay to be" - The perfect description from Luke.
It's a good thing Hank had his office remodeled recently. L & L would have had a field day with the way it used to look.
honestly, build redux has been a sponsor so many times that i wouldn't be surprised if LMG is actually on their christmas list
not sure if the christmas lists of pr departments count.
Another amazing video. Although, I couldn't stop laughing at 13:45 as Luke went full shaggy mode in that reaction.
Thank you all for participating . huge piece of content in reality with the massive crossover. to say nothing of youtube rewind but a big collab nonetheless . cool video idea LTT . i love wired peripherals and audio equipment so the rat's nest is strong . everything else is so weird.
Love that Kitboga was on here. He does great things and more people should know about people like him and his work
We know and love that boy.
no joke.!!!!
Ah, I finally have something in common with internet celebrities: we have messy desks.
i love Luke so much. he’s so intelligent and his laugh is contagious
My God, its awesome to see more Luke! Really nice vibe in the videos, please keep it going!
Considering Steve from Hardware Unboxed has to go up against EA's weird DRM, I'd say yes, all those computers are needed. Also he designed and built the entire space himself with his own hands so no compromise was needed
Thanks LTT! Each time you release video like this, it motivates me to clean the dust off my work table, so I did it again today. Till the next setup roast!
but what kind of dust :wink : :wink :
@@PrograError possibly cheeto dust
to notice you have the bliss wallpaper there that i also have on my pc because its literally calm af taken by a real photographer i love it XD
From roasting Chinese set ups to roasting Jesus's set up 💀
😐
You forgot Gamers Nexus...
where was Steve in this video? would have loved to see him
Props to Anne Munition for using a UPS, too many streamers/pro players are just raw-dogging wall power and it kinda frustrates me.
wholeheartedly agree lol
Not everyone lives in a place where power goes out frequently, last time my area had a power outage was 12 years ago. I don't see the need to spend money on a ups when it will serve me once only every 10 years maybe. Edit: some people have talked about power surges, an outlet with a power surge protector on it is a hell of allot cheaper than a ups. That's what I have and still never has gone off once.
Exactly, and the batteries die many times between drop outs.
Intelligent person vs someone who "asks chat for the solution to their problem".
@@rekt_ggit’s not good just for when the power goes out. It’s for voltage fluctuation and surge protection. My house runs on solar so it’s essential since it switches from solar to the grid every few days if it’s not sunny and the batteries run out. It doesn’t happen often but it’s frequent enough.
32:55 👀thx to Kon 👀 most of the Sidemen's setups are almost perfect
we need an entire episode on Asmon's setups! :D
10:05 As a German, that's exactly what I expected from Der8auer: Keeping the visible cables neatly organized while using a functional approach when the cables are hidden from sight (it's also how I do it). German efficiency applies to cable management as well! :D
13:12 Now that's someone who genuinely appreciates the special things he got. Love to see it!
15:50 OF COURSE Mrwhosetheboss has an immaculate setup XD mounting the projector screen so he can pull it down in front of his production setup it is such a genius idea! You don't need a studio and a theater/living room when you can fit both into the same room just like that! Dude just perfect efficient use of space!
21:55 Anything less would have been a disappointment from someone like MKBHD. Although I would definitely clean up those cables. I absolutely can't stand the power cable from the TV just drooping down there, it has to be covered with a slim white cable canal. and I'd hide the cables on and under the desk as well as possible.
25:48 Now THAT'S a setup I would love to have! Absolutely beautiful, it's very clean, very functional, yet not overdone! The only small changes I'd make would be to hide those drooping cables in a cable canal mounted to the underside of the desk (I love stretching my legs under my desk and HATE touching cables while doing so) and I'd replace that mousepad for a northern lights deskpad (no joke, I love mine). Also, those guitars on the wall look awesome, but it seems rather awkward to reach them and I don't see a recording interface (or amps) for them in this picture, making them feel more like decoration than instruments that are actually played which is sad. I probably wouldn't keep them there. But I only got one acoustic and one electric guitar, maybe Zack has a bunch of other guitars he prefers to play over those two...
When Linus laughs at your set up, you know it's bad!
💀💀
"The worst they can say is no"
Looked like he wanted to cry when looking at asmon
At least they didn't let him drop any of it.
Linus is legendary at his ability to entertain and inform.
i swear to god
(7:18) "Is this a beaker of milk?" Are you canadians from, like, another planet? 😉🤪
Yes! I couldn't stop laughing 😂
I mean, they do sell milk in bags so is a beaker really that strange for them?
I thought he said: "speaker of milk"
This was really fun!! Always great to see a peek behind creators and celebrities
Loved the collection of creators they got to roast here. And it was worth quite a few laughs. I always wanna hate on the cheese grater macs but GD is it slick looking when someone puts forth the effort
27:15 That's not just a spindle of discs, but rather a disc dispenser where you hit the button and it pops one out for you!
6:35 it's a universal audio solo 610 tube preamp for microphone. There's an apogee duet sound card on the side.
I loved Wendell when he was at techsyndicate. His background engagement was some of the best banter. I miss those days but its completely understandable why he left. If he had a bigger platform with a better budget, he would do some amazing things
With Anne being a graphic designer, her setup tracks. 😊❤️
🏳🌈
It makes me feel better knowing even millionaires do janky things with their setups 😂
Makes me sad seeing so many “pros” using like 2 inches of mouse space. For some unknown reason it’s been ingrained into this generations gamers that super high dpi = super high skill! No, just no please stop. Get a good 2 feet of mouse space and switch to low dpi/sens arm aiming it’s just way superior and more accurate
I can’t figure out why I still use pretty high sens + relatively little actual mousing surface area. I have tons of space and a pretty tiny keyboard (Dygma Raise), but I still hardly move my mouse lol. More wrist movement than ‘at the elbow’ arm movement….and I use a 21:9 display haha.
@@pcmasterracetechgod5660it’s fine we can just keep dunking on them with our two feet of space while their crosshairs fly all over the place
@@pcmasterracetechgod5660 sounds like RSI to me. glasses + gel wrist rest + ergonomics yo. granted, I don't use 2 inches, more like 2-9
These are just neckbeards that happened to go live one day and someone turned it into a career
19:00 quick tip: on mac right click (on the desktop/finder window) and click Cleanup. That will position everything to the grid. You are welcome.
Please more videos like this. They are simple, fun, and sometimes I don't need a learning outcome.
I think a video that compares all the different "Work Out At Your PC" systems would do pretty well.
Would also be nice to have some non-scuffed reviews that compare them side by side. Most of what I have found is fake reviews or people who have only ever used the one they just bought which doesn't tell me all that much.
Just a note, Hardware Unboxed actually have a video of the desk being made as they built it from scratch. Very cool video.
And when you're doing in-depth testing, you do need that much space
Hey guys and thank you @therealshadow99. Yeah I need that much space, more would be ideal really. I generally run a minimum of three test systems at the same time, especially when motherboard VRM testing. Also in the big desk area we have a full time editor as well, so he takes up a bit of space ;)
The thing on the desk that looks like a soldering iron is an outboard microphone pre from Universal Audio, the Twin 610 or something I think.
