is this a bag of apples? Is that a sword? Sick. The gunk level is actually not that bad. We asked everyone on our team to submit their setups, and now we're going to judge them. Like last time, we won't know which staff member it belongs to until after we give them a score out of 100, so things are probably going to get a little hairy. But I mean, we're not entirely heartless. Whoever gets the lowest score is going to get free lunch, which we're going to pay for with money from our sponsor, who I'll tell you about after we do a couple of setups. Roast number one, let's go. Oh my God, I don't know what's worse, the fact that that HP monitor contains so many bloody stickers on its bezel, or the fact that they didn't take them off. Them not taking off is clearly worse. Also, this monitor is ancient compared to everything else that they have. This monitor has elegant function it. Why are you being such a monitor shamer? If it's an old monitor, that's fine. My problem is

that the rest of the stuff doesn't look old. They probably spent six times the amount on their keyboard than they did on their monitor. I don't know, this stain on their LTT desk pad looks pretty old or fresh. Oh, when I see a GPU that looks like this, and I see a mouse that looks like that, I see somebody who has their priorities a little who would be psychotic enough to do this. You can replace this with a 1080p monitor, which is even going to be resolution upgrade for $75 or on Facebook Marketplace 20. I would, I would buy a used one, literally $20. Yeah, wait, we have to rate them. No, we have to rate them first. 50, so we get a total score to 100. All righty, we're going to reveal in three, two, one. I give it a 35. Wow, really? No, you are ruthless. Monitor, zero. You don't get any points for that. You might as well not have one. Thought I'm supposed to be the mean one. This is Nolan, Nolan, Nolan his

apartment flooded so this is his. I'll buy you a $20 monitor off Craigslist roast victim number two. Nice. Well, this is obviously Nicole. I'm just going to give it a good rating because I love Nicole. Wait a second, are those headphones? I was going to. Well, there's also ones hanging from the thing, but you wouldn't use these when you have these, would you, though? Also have a lot of crust. On Your Side Glass real estate trading Services. Is there a foot rest? I actually kind of love that. That's kind of. That's kind of. That's a 10 on my vibe right there immediately. I I really like 10 Vibe. Really cool wrist rest. Cool keyboard. Really cool keyboard. Um, why would you take a picture of your nail clipper? And is that one of those ear cleaners? Wait a second, what's going on? This is a new place. No, this can't be Nicole anymore. The individual updated their setup between first submission and second submission, but this is the same person. I I saw the Penguin and I was

like Nicole now I don't know what to think. Let's get some scores in. Well, I think we should rate the current set up. All right, 3, 2, 1, 44, 47. Dang, nice setup. It's really good. Uh, it's Curtis from HR. Ah, okay, that checks out. The only reason why I rated balance down slightly was 'cause the mouse pad. That's true. It's a good value like our sponsor Ridge make those around you Green With Envy thanks to Ridge's Voodoo green wallets and key cases. They're Sleek, durable, and of course Very green. Grab them at the link in the video description. I like a lot of people going with the one vertical one horizontal monitor setup. That's a nice setup. What is to the right of his computer? That's like as big as his computer. Xbox, really Luke, you're so toxic. PC Master race, you don't even know what an Xbox looks like. At least PlayStation still looks like mildly unique. Dude, that is a hot take. What is with the hot? That is a hot take to be.

fair. all the stuff that this person did looks really good. I mean, you never know when you're going to need a gaming keyboard. Better ergonomics, even bashing it. Clearly this photo is staged though, and they still couldn't be arsed to cable manage. I feel like this could be a designer setup, yeah, but then they also have one of the more rare mouse pads, and their setup is quite aesthetic. That's the LTX mouse pad. It's not rare, yeah, but you can't just buy it all the time. You just take it. Oh, yeah. 46 at like 47 a. It's pretty high. This is Chewy, our social media manager. Nice. That checks out. Nice. All righty, roast victim number four, Wicked Cushions. This is neat. Yeah, the keyboard's your temp is zero, so you haven't configured anything. Wait, go back to it for a sec. Okay, the date's right. Are you really going to give them vibe points for having the date correct on their computer? I mean, you can't even browse.

the web properly. If the date's not right on your computer, I like the case. Whoa, just the wheels, some Wheels. Hey, you know what though, you got to store them somewhere. You're supposed to store them inside. It's actually kind of a vibe to have them right next to the computer. I kind of like this. Plof, okay, I don't. Look at me, I'm not saying anything, keep guessing. No, there's no way. Why? Because Plof has aesthetics. Well, no, he doesn't, but he has more. He has more junk. This looks really nice. This is where the car goes. Yeah, how is everything out of your mouth even the nice things? Just brutal. Desk was featured in. Do you need gaming hardware? I bought it off the company the first month I worked here. They said it was okay because they weren't going to send me back to Ontario. Oh, 'cause he would have been on probation, so not eligible usually for a staff discount yet. All right, let's rate it. All right, three, two, one.

40 46 dang, I was going to go higher, but then I wanted to troll Jamie. There you go, you got it Jamie from Logistics. All righty, next person. Wow, I like it. Got the monitor arm, got the cable management, the banana-looking wrist rest is like actually kind of cool, 3D printed headphone holder, no headphones to be seen, but man or lady of culture, and that's the correct era too. Are these CPU boxes a stand for your Tower? Everything else about this is so classy. What the fudge, I kind of like it. Oh, you would. I kind of like it. You need all these computers for, yeah, I like it. Yeah, sick. All righty, 3, 2, 1, 44 46. Nice setup. Yes, I took points off for those boxes, they suck. I put points on for those boxes, they're awesome, but your Vibe is going to be pretty high as long as you've got floppy disc coasters. I think this is Jesse. This is Nick Harris from the labs. Yeah, that makes sense. Dang it. All right, next victim. Why?

is the only thing I can see. This MacBook charger on the floor. We've seen surprisingly few cringe anime waifus so far. I knew it wouldn't last forever though. Cable managed. I like to see management looks fantastic. Cable Management Box. You left the sticker on your subwoofer. Please take the sticker off. Um, okay. I mean that's where boxes go. Even more. Oh God, so cute. I thought it was like, like could plush it first. Very cute. Okay. I thought you were going to say I thought it was Taxidermy. No, fired the graphics card was given to be my lus when he gamed against people for graphics cards and he beat me so hard he gave me another try. This was at the verified actual gamer live event just based on the graphics card that I apparently gave them. Oo, is that a hint? No, this person must. I don't remember this well. This person must not have been an employee at that time. Question mark. Could you compete against you as an employee? I don't think so. I don't think.

so either I just don't remember this rating time. Yeah, let's give a rating. Three, two, one. 40, 48. 40, 48. Did you see them? What you give them a five for Value? Look how much they spent on anime figurines that they could have spent on their computer. This is James Lynn, our new test technician. Oh, roast victim number eight. Oh, they got the water-cooled macro. I forget who bought it or won it at the Christmas party. Um, that a gaming controller next to a Mac. I have so many questions. Yeah, let's go to the Mac gaming. I like it, actually. I think I can be fired for saying this, but I love their mouse. Looks really good. I kind of like that they matched the vibe of it being in the kitchen with the like kitchen-style stool thing. No, your chair needs Wheels. A computer chair should have wheels, Cameron. None, no one needs to see me in my messy apartment. Okay, cool. What rate this? Three, two, one. 41, 46. This is Tatiana from

CRE a warehouse oh that checks out. You're going to lose some value points for gaming on a Mac though. However, wa you rated higher than a 10. However, I gave a 12 for the tower. It's a water-cooled Mac Studio. That's the coolest thing ever. All right, next victim is that a shower? No, no, no, that's a window curtain. I thought it was a shower curtain. Tin of cookies just like. I mean, this looks like it's supposed to be for a racing setup or something, but no wheel to be found. No, no, it's not for a racing setup. Heavy curtains to ensure that no light gets through VI out hard while chilling on the couch setup. That's what it's for. Case the cheapest thing Canada Computers had on hand. Ntg2 shotgun mic. That's what I'm talking about. You see that interface too with camera? Nope. So you're just a serious business gamer with a shotgun mic and the world's nastiest carpet. Like I can see the. I can see the chunks of things.

on it from here. All right, three, two, one, reveal. 23, 32. Vibe one peripherals. 10. What vibe 10. This is Jordan, our writer. Dang it, Jord. I gave it a 10 vibe not because I like the vibe but because it has very strong vibe. I can't give 10 vibe to anything that has this layout for the desktop icon. We're going to have some extras over on lm. g/f flat plane. Yeah, oh, the fact that it's ploof on the desktop wallpaper just means they haven't changed the default wallpaper that Logistics puts on everything. This is a Jamie Pilkey initiative. Yeah, 7 tabt. Is this a flex? Don't have much files to store on it. LOL. I kept watching the uh, what? How he blames me and then immediately says he doesn't blame me. Well, I got. I got to fight first. Um, I breathed in 'cause I was going to do a take. All righty. Victim 10. Okay, the Disney wallpaper. Yeah, with the stuff on the door. Wow, you are clearly still in

your childhood room. The headphones are hung up with the not liking the headphones here. That's going to dent your headband, yeah. Also, this is not enough mousing area. What is this doing here? What is that? Looks like Paddington Bear or something. Something that had a volume knob. All right, I somehow moved into my partner's childhood bedroom. Yeah, all righty. 3, 2, 1, 30, 38. Dang, this is young one of our newer editors. Lame Vibe, young. Although it is a young Vibe, you know what they win as hard as they possibly could with the monitors, which I respect. You can't just grade people based on how many monitors they have. No, I'm just, there's more to life than having a bunch of monitors, Luke. Yeah. And they're clearly like making it work. Good value though, clearly don't waste money. Yeah, Traxis and RC nerd got the project Matt over there. Really like the inclusion of right next to the computer. This is my vibe right here. Great 10 Vibe.

so this is right beside it 'cause you can see oh so it's a turn left which I like even more ooh getting stuff done I agree see this is how you can keep some boxes but have it be tasteful and classy okay stash it you know is that a cushy foot rest I like it computer build wise it makes almost no sense bottlenecks everywhere no no that's okay yeah your CPU could be a little bit more powerful and you'd get a bit more out of that RTX 3090 but it's not that bad 3600 ddr4 what are you even talking about don't beat yourself up so much you're going to lose a point on your Tower you're going down to n for not knowing that it's a perfectly good Tower it was built in a scrapyard Wars type fashion where whatever was cheaper on sale I bought nice I'm giving them the point back no I feel like last time my whole thing was people had really bad mous

pads, and now my whole thing is people only have one monitor. Can you stop shaming people? You know, some of us can only look in One Direction at a time. It's not about that. Reveal in 3, 2, 1, 45, 46. I love this setup. Very good. This is Justin, nice fabricator for the writing team. Really good setup. Yep, and I hadn't even noticed link up here, just overseeing and making sure that everything's going cool. I didn't notice either. Love it. All righty, next person. The cup holder that perfectly fits the LTD water bottle is kind of sick. The mouse pad, yeah, that mouse pad needs some help. You could have spent some of the money you spent on a Mac on having a decent mouse pad. Got him. What is this? Why is your speaker pointing over there? I respect the Box monitor stand though. I respect it, yeah, especially, especially when you didn't have the budget for something better because you spent it all on AirPods Pros. Is that smoke detector? I don't know. Does it hurt?

holding on to a dying IP like this, it does. I know I'm not even holding on, and it still hurts. I know, so you can tell they haven't given up. Yeah, it's modern stuff, my current ERA stuff. Well, some old stuff. This is so sad. It's got the whole vibe just changed. Yeah, that took a lot of the excitement out of this for me. These are super cool though. Yeah, or at least they would have been when Star Wars was cool. Yeah, kind of a cool place to hang out. Yeah, actually got the AC, love it. They put the good Mouse chair, Sor and and yeah, yeah. Wait, what? Better mouse pads. Yeah, why are your better mouse pads over there where there's no computer? Are you operating your air conditioner? 3, 2, 1, 40 live two. Yeah, the Star Wars morning really killed it for me. That's fair. All righty, this is Liam from the float plane team. Yeah. Oh, that makes sense. Who this is a sick setup. This is awesome underes desk mounted Tera managing to have, you know, some clutter but keep it.

super super tasteful. You got some Mario, some Lewis Hamilton, you got your freakin' speaker down there. Vibe Three Holy, no, I cannot. I was so into it until we got to anything to do with audio. If my ears were in my crotch, then this is a great setup. Also, leather mouse pad value for 3, 2, 1, 35, 46. And I'm pretty sure this is Maria, correct. Overall, I think that one's really nice. I just, yeah, find a better. Your ears are up here, yeah. All right, next victim. Bas is this a B of apples going from Maria's setup to this cup of urine on the table. Do get over it. Is that a CERN Cup? Oh man, you're going to need, you're going to need some string. Luke here's some string and lip bal. Vibe 10. I love this, this is sick. Is that a huge bottle of isopropyl, I think so. This can't be that old. Luke the bread plushies from this year, yeah, whatever it's sick. Everything thing about this is

awesome juice. Get over. Don't bother putting this in your case. I mean, you'd hate to keep track of them. Doesn't need them to charge right now. It's fine. You take it a full level past the box of Kleenex, and you go straight for Fast Orange hand cleaner. You're man. I mean, why contain the mess when you can clean the mess? You know what vibe 11 is? That's a sword. Sick. Oh my god. Well, we found the. We found the. I think there's some. I think it might be tinan. It's almost certainly someone from the Creator Warehouse team. And seeing that exercise ball as the chair. He's very the first aid kit too. Um, he's like Safety First Aid guy. It's like obnoxiously Safety First Aid. He wanted baby gates after I fell down the stairs. I'm just going to say I like the exercise ball. CH. I'm giving him a nine. Ready? I give it a 43. It should have been a 49, but it got a 50 'cause I gave the vibe.

11. That's kind of cheating, but it is tinan next victim. What green zip ties classy power button equally class. Um, wow. It's weird because it's almost like you broke into someone's house who had a really cool vibe, stole a few of their cool things, and then brought it to your weird like mation cave. It's almost like a gradient and then you get to all the like cans, and it's like, right, why is the middle monitor tilted so far down? Oh yeah, look at that. Do I recognize the mouse pad as being a particular person's that may or may not be here right now? I didn't think this is what their setup looked like. I'm not confirming anything, bro. Well, no, I mean I know he has a stupid frame case. That's him too. He has a stupid, he has a stupid, super stupid, is a really stupid frame case. It takes up so much space. It lands. What's really interesting too is you can really how bad the cable management is everywhere because you can see right through the stupid frame face.

there's not nearly enough pathetic simp here though so I'm not sure that this is Elijah yet. But it has that garbage keyboard with that wrist rest. Oh, a beline wrist rest. Yeah, this is almost certainly Elijah. Why are two of them the same? You had opportunities to make custom screwdrivers. You made two that are the same. Except where did you get a Black Shaft? It was in a bin. You know he's the next AMD ultimate Tech upgrade, right? Well, he needs it. I don't even know if I want to go in this house found more simple that's just the same keyboard case. Yeah, but the thing is like why are you proud of it? It looks good on a shelf. Oh my God. You know this, this is more than the average American has in their bank account. This is probably more than Elijah has in his bank account because he put it all here. I will not confirm that. Why is your middle monitor pointed down? Well, the mount is not strong enough for the weight of the monitor. Monor also.

why'd you buy a curved monitor? I didn't. Where'd you get it? Christmas party my old job. Okay, let's get to work. Sounds like I'm getting lunch. Bo, oh yeah, we can't rate him too low 'cause then he gets rewarded for it. I've already decided he's trying to win a free lunch. All right, 3, 2, 1, reveal. I don't want him to get anything. Yeah, all right, I gave him a 30 for balance just so that I'd be able to give him a high score so he won't lose. All my other ratings are real. I love that we coordinated on that. Dang it, I had already given them all tens before anybody said anything and I didn't see it. So well, thank you. At least I can say I have the highest score now. Really high rating on that one. Beloved headphones. PNG. They've been loved. My main desktop is so messy. You don't want to see that. You know what? I love this art wall though. This is so authentic. 10 for

Vibes given how clearly old this is, the gunk level is actually not that bad. Given how old it is, because so to be able to wear all the way through that. Like how do you wear through the entire side of your mouse, that's really impressive. It honestly probably gives them a really good grip though 'cause their thumb's going to like slot into position. It probably feels great. If this mouse dies, they're probably going to be very sad. I remember this chair, yeah, the Costco Delux. Yeah, it's a piece of crap. Why my chair is peeling, my headphone pads are falling apart, and my thumb has destroyed my mouse, and I'm running out of storage space. Please send help. I agree, I'm taking off some points for that crappy chair. I got suckered into the same one, so I'm just mad still. That's you didn't do anything wrong. 3, 2, 1, go. 41, 47. Yeah, yeah, nice setup. This is Hannah, the editor. Oh, nice. Relatively new, just off probation. I hope your mouse never dies.

welcome Hannah she seems to not be that stoked on the mouse. I think you like the mouse more than she does. Maybe Luke would buy it from you. No, 'cause it's not the same. My thumb is not going to go in the exact same spot and it would have to be the exact same spot for it to be good. Ooh with the Evangelion case with the matching water bottle. Okay. Vibes are maxed. You didn't even talk about the CRT yet. Oh, it's sick. I don't know that it's. It looks actually like it might actually be legit. Any tips you're asking for Tech tips. This that's not what the notes are for. Less jarring. 3, 2, 1, reveal. 34, 49. Wow, quite different on this one. Yeah, I really like it. That computer stolen from work. He gets a zero. You know who it is. I know who this is. This is Sam. Sam the editor. Yeah, we just filmed an AMD at his house last week. Sure did. Zero for stealing that computer. No and all.

seriousness. He wanted at the Christmas party. He wanted at the Christmas party. Super nice computer. Hold on, let me fix this. That's the equivalent fix this for you. 44, 44 bin Laden. What Laden, okay. This person wants the free lunch. A lot of action here. Got a Xbox body piercing spray. That's a weird thing to have on hand. Is that a Dreamcast? Yeah, all right. You might be slightly. Oh my God. No, I know who this is. There's no way that this isn't Tanner. Oh my God. Why is it? Why are there so many P? I don't even think this is Tanner anymore. Is that, no, that's one of the LTT Bean. Oh no, hold on. Wait, no, 'cause Alex D's place is nice. Now I'm so confused. Now that is a Dusty V. How many pictures do you need? Who are you base Star Fox? It's almost too tidy to be Tanner, though. All right. I think I've seen enough. Really? You're not going to take the wrap off of that CPU?

block all righty that's higher than I intended 3 reveal 30 42. I don't really Vibe with it, and the value is not good. You've spent too much on Wii games. You said you think you know who it is, who is it? Yeah, this is Emily, yeah there you go. I know because I painstakingly assembled that piece of correct in her Intel extreme Tech upgrade. I give this a Vibe of 12 um and a balance of 10. It is very balanced, the expense paid for retro games is very balanced across the entire room. Cable tie. jpeg, okay I can see why it was included. That is the world's cutest cable tie. That is a very cool cable tie. That's a really long headphone holder. Do your headphones hang low, do they wagle to and fro, what is the point of that ninja printed Luke's favorite. You've just got a 10 for your peripheral. He hasn't seen anything else yet. I don't know, you might end up with a

six for having only one monitor maybe seven actually that's my standard score. Looks pretty great. I like that mouse pad. Yeah, Sarah did a good job on that one. It's limited edition. No, by and large, our staff have pretty nice setups, other than Elijah. What the heck. All right, 47 40. I like it. I took some points off for that chair. This is Natalie from Creater Warehouse. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not rating the chairs so much 'cause I find chairs are so specific. Yeah, it looks like an off-brand DX racer, which is already not a good racing chair. Yeah, no offense, Natalie. If you stole it from work, then at least I could have boosted your value. Mark 117 117 117. It's so might like Halo. Not sure. Yeah, I got a couple. What are those Funko Pops or whatever, like Master Chief. This is under your desk. This is where you display the world's most useless place to put those. Yeah, they're already useless if you're not going to put them on display. Good.

Cable Management though you did not pay extra for a my hero Academia value down you took too many pictures. I'm taking off a point for that all eight lucky setup love it 43 this is Mitchell good stuff. Customer service from customer service oh that's pretty awesome okay. Paper on top of your computer yuck. Mouse pad hanging off the edge equally big yikes at least it's hanging um the same on both sides yeah that's cool though super cool. I'm not 100% sure what's going on there. UPS though UPS very nice I respect it. I respect the uninterruptible power supply there's a lot of cables but they did do some work to make them not horrible. This is not how ring lights work ring lights have to be close to you. They put in the effort yeah they stole a lot of extra large cable Arches from work. This individual bought them they bought them yes and couldn't figure out the Key Bar holder struggled with it for two hours the only person I can think of.

who's this dedicated to? Sticker bombing things is plof. Isn't that literally how he sticker bombed his cooler though? I don't remember that. Now this is a very different setup, I think. Yeah, did he move? Where's all the... Oh, wait, no, he has gotten into figures, hasn't he? Oh my God, does this guy really need more hobbies? Oh yeah, hold on. Outed, freaking outed. 3, 2, 1, 36. I didn't write a total, but a lot. Great vibe, zero value. I think you waste more money than Elijah, which is truly remarkable. I gave him extra points for the monitors just 'cause I thought that would make him happy. No other real reason, to be completely honest. And also, um, gave him 12 for the vibe 'cause I really like the couple setup and how they're kind of meshed together. Is really cool. And he's got a UPS 'cause he's trying to be smart. And just like, there was a lot of things that contributed to good vibe. All right, well, well, that means
