Popular YouTube personality TechSource (real name Edgar Oganesyan) has earned a healthy following by way of his insights, tutorials, product reviews, PC builds, and setups. And while you might have yourself some trippy TechSource wallpaper as your desktop background, you’re merely skimming the surface in terms of rolling the way this PC player does. Indeed, every day is basically Christmas for Edgar Oganesyan, so it’s only fitting that his desk setup and gear makes for a list of truly epic proportion. After all, you don’t get to over two million YouTube subscribers if you’re not doing some serious unboxing on a weekly basis. We thus present TechSource’s desk setup and gear. Good luck!
