Appreciate everyone that still has my back, you guys are what keeps me going ❤. To the rest that are still upset that I havn't 'moved on'. I have...in the past 5 years I havnt made a video about this dude lol. I forgave and moved on, hell I wished him the best if you stayed and watched till the end. Its more than just selling stuff I gave him, its the way he handled it. Many people were upset for what he did and the way he treated me and my cousin while we were there on our hands and knees working hard on the setup. I just thought this was an interesting article that I couldnt pass up not sharing with my core audience, revealing Filips true colors. Karma is a wonderful thing and im sure alot of people can now rest easy. Regardless, I hope he learns from this lesson and becomes a better person and treats people better.
Ngl I'm not surprised this happened to Filip. I can't believe that it's been 5 years already jeez, I remember watching that very first setup makeover video and seeing his "genuine" reaction to the setup and selling it 2 days after made my heart sink. That's when I made up my mind with what type of person he truly was.
I think the parents first mistake was spelling Filip with an F. Philip is a perfectly fine name, but with an F you are being set up for failure. What kind of Frederick bullshit is this?
What if he needed money cause they needed to pay off bills or medical stuff? Never know what someones going through, not sayings it right or wrong though.
A Sheriff is an elected official and a deputy is one of the Sheriff’s “officers” that he hires to help him. This dude is just an evil person, he deserves a lot worse than just losing his job.
Considering all the other greatful subscribers I think you're doing great. Hopefully he sees his mistake and grows to be a much better person. We're all human but we as humans need to be accountable for our mistakes. Keep up the great work Ed 💪😎
You can see that Filip is wearing a watch on his right hand in both pictures. Usually this would mean that he is left hand dominant, but in this case, he grabs the person with his right hand. I wear my watch on my right hand as well, and I am also right hand dominant so I know this is a normal thing. I just thought it was interesting so I should mention it
Whoa! Knowing that he sold his equipment shortly after you performed such a wonderful thing for him was heartbreaking. I could never conceive carrying out such a task. However, witnessing this again validated the strange impression I got of him after viewing that initial setup makeover video. Was there anyone else who experienced it while viewing it? Watch it again after you've gone. Ed, you really are amazing! You are welcome to bring your entire family if I ever have the chance to win setup warfare; my house is spacious enough. I prepare meals for every guest that stays at my residence. this is soooo shocking.
Make it as hard as you possibly can because people get malicious with money, desperate, gets way over their head or even hostile just too get whatever they can. We don't blame you at all. Just make better systems and security. For yourself and others. We love you and what you're doing for others to enjoy. Keep up the good work man.
I started watching your channel after this all happoened, so I didn't know this all happened. I'm sorry you had to go through all that Ed and I can't imagine how much of a slap of a face it was to you when you worked so hard on building that setup for him. Hopefulyl he does learn from this and become a better person. Appreciate you and all of your awesome content!
I really felt the emotions you had behind the whole situation Ed. I also had second hand annoyment from what Filip did all those years ago. At least with this incident coming to light, every person who thought you were too hard on Filip was shown to be wrong. He was a lowkey douchebag the whole time. Was cool of you to forgive and let it go though, felt very cathartic haha.
Wow, I remember the episode he was on, and the follow-up after he sold the PC. I never could have imagined the story would take this kind of a turn. Thank you for this update!
Wowser! It was so heart wrenching knowing he sold his setup right after you did such an amazing thing for him. I could never imagine doing something like that. But seeing this re-brought up, confirmed the weird feelings I had about him from watching that first setup makeover video. Did anyone else have that feeling while watching it? Go back and watch it. You effing rock Ed! If I ever get a chance to win setup wars, my house is big enough, you can bring your whole family. And I cook for everyone who comes to my house. It’s the Filipino way. 😏
Can’t believe Ed is such a great guy and helps so many people in many ways… and someone like this would take advantage for his own benefit. Just baffles my mind
This is actually a beautiful leason in trust, you can give your trust to someone and they can break it, from there you can choose to never trust anyone again or you can find a way to move on and navigate through life better. im glad he continued to do so. 😊
That's why you have to keep up! That's why we, the true subscribers, are here to give you strength and motivation to keep going and to make us have fun and learn so many things from your videos!
Hey man, I really appreciate all that you do even though that happened to you before, I am a new subscriber and just started watching about 2-3 months ago and your videos inspire me and give me ideas for what I should do when I eventually build my setup.
this is mind blowing what we all have just witnessed and I think it has shown us as the you can't trust anyone even if its someone from another country, but there are good people out there. No matter where we all go in life , you keep moving forward and never give up.
This is the last thing that I expected from not only this channel, but Ed himself and even Filip. The ending made the whole thing a lot more sweet than bitter, but man, how times have changed. Thanks for highlighting your generosity and will to forgive, Ed.
I've been following your channel for a while. it's great what you do for people and what you make them feel when they are surprised like that. Keep doing it!
I love your setup makeovers and they are the reason I started watching your videos. I would never be able to sell a setup I get for free. especially with that much love and thought being put into it. the sentimental value is worth more than any amount. my current pc I plan to keep for a very long time since its my first ever.
@plusultra2058 I don’t believe the guy was in debt. And even in debt I probably wouldn’t sell it depending on how much in debt I am in. It’s not hard to stay out of deep debt that one or two paychecks can’t fix.
Ed you're a great man I'd say.Not everyone has the ability to forgive someone and still you're giving him good advice. I really appreciate your character.❤
life and death..it would have to literally be 'I do this or someone is going to..not be there tomorrow' before I'd EVER consider selling such a gift. you sir are a prince, both for your generosity, and humble nature. I thank you, for giving of yourself, time, money, effort, to the community, and I for one, appreciate you for it. keep doing what has so many looking up to you and trying their best to emulate you. thank you for being an inspiration.
I can sort of relate to Ed, I built my sister her own setup during the pandemic since alot of jobs were work at home and she didn't have one for herself. I wanted to make her happy while at the same time provide opportunity for work, so every request like the theme, color, preference, use case was taken into account, considering that time, the demand for PC components were through the roof because of the lockdown so you could say that we had a hard time looking for parts and even buying them at a premium price just because she needed it so I was heartbroken after finding out that after 8 months she sold the setup on Facebook marketplace so I msg her and asked why she was selling the setup only the find out because she no longer got the money to pay her bills. In a way maybe Filip is going through something that forced him to sell the setup. Don't get me wrong I agree that what Filip's actions was wrong but I hope that the community just leave the man alone and let him live his life, we don't know what people are going through day to day so let's be kinder to each other. Then this world will truly be a better place.
U be surprised what officers do on a daily basis they abuse the power they have they will use it however they see fit there isn't slot u can do even tho they are still human like us
I cant imagine getting a gift like that and having it assembled and personalized and then just throwing it away. My setup has taken me a year to get it where it is and its not done yet. That stuff is very expensive. Everything from the computer and monitors to rhe desk shelving and decor is expensive and for the average person takes a long time to save up for and slowly put together and in your videos i can tell you put your heart and soul into every setup you give to people. You do a nice thing and spend your own hard earned money to do it. Philip clearly didnt appreciate it. But he got his. Karma always catches up.
Wow! That sucks big time. I understand what you went through and why you have trust issues when dealing with others. I've had some similar situations like that myself. In my opinion, it was a learning lesson to watch out for and recognize people who have an ill agenda towards you.
I recently started watching your videos and I’ve learned a lot from your channel so thank you. You’re a good person and the application should be tough because if you’re going to put in the time effort and money into a setup it should be someone who truly deserves it. Thank you for the content and may God be with you and everyone else on this planet earth.
When you give something away just let it go. Let yourself be rewarded within yourself and by being a good person. You will be rewarded, if you believe in Karma you would know this.
I know I’m pretty late to the party but I only discovered this channel a few days ago. I definitely feel for you here and sorry that this has happened. It’s a horrible feeling. When I first started my Facebook group, my admins and I chipped in to buy a statue to give away to members. From memory; it cost us about $500. The winner then asked to sell it after receiving it, on our platform where they won it, and we were heart broken. It sucks that these sorts of people exist but don’t blame yourself. You tried to do something wonderful and have continued doing so since, and changed people’s lives. Keep up the great work Ed! Love the content!
Hey Ed, what Filip did was crazy and I'm sorry you had to go through that experience back then. I used to be in a similar situation like yours when one of my friends that I invited to my house actually stole a game that me and my brothers loved playing and since then it's been very tough trying to actually trust anyone these days.
The guy is a PoS, we all know that. But you sir, are the best type of person, and we won't let anyone like Filip drag down you, the channel, the vibe or the fun. Happy holidays y'all.
Ed I understand the feeling, but just let it go and start over. What you do is very good and good. The lessons you receive will make you look at it in a different way, but from another angle, the person who has done it will probably remember this lesson for a long time, so let's move on. I always follow you from fans in Asia, Thailand.❤
I haven't been watching for long cause I onyl stumbled upon your channel two days ago, but it's actually insane that someone would sell one of your setups they are amazing. I saw what you did for Anrita, it looks awesome. Keep it up!
I'm not sure you'll see this, I recently started watching your videos when I was making my own small budget pc I just wanna say. You have good heart and God will bless you. You might have made a mistake or two in your life but.. at the end you did it out of the goodness of your heart and that's all that matters at the end of everyone's life❤ continue your great journey AND LOVE THE VIDEOS Detective Techsource
Ed, seriously, you give. That's who you are. That guy is a taker. Don't let him rent space in your head. Since the start of your give aways, you have picked some really deserving people. Just keep doing what you're doing.
You are such a good guy Ed. Kind words despite the facts. What you do for people is unreal and I'm so happy to see good people finding success. Life is hard, and trusting people can be even harder. Listen to your heart and instincts. I hope no one takes advantage of you again. I'm still shocked, even though I know people are capable of worse. It really is shameful to hurt people just because you're in a position of power, or hurt anyone for that matter just because you can. Shame on you Filip. Keep that beautiful spirit Ed! Positive vibes to you.
you tha goat ed. As a follower of christ i really do believe in forgiveness and having understanding towards those who wronged us. i think we live in a world where once you do something wrong u are viewed as villain for the rest of your life and you are just canceled forever. Barely anyone gives people a chance to redeem themselves or even just simply forgiving. i really commend u on this
Dear Edgar. I Can't say that I understand what you're feeling in regards to this case. But what I can honestly say is that you're a great person. I've been following you for quiet some time now. I've seen how you interact with people you meet randomly in your vlogs. Sometimes, there are people like Filip out there who are meant to teach us what not to be in life. And I think that lots of your followers learned something from that incident. We totally support you in the decision to make the Setup Makeovers harder to participate. When you put so much time and dedication into something just for the sake of a giveaway, people that receive it should appreciate the effort at the very least.
I was raised to always be greatful for what is given to me thats why I have so many things from like 15 years ago I still cherrish to this day the only time I would ever sell something given to me is if I needed the money desperately. Im sorry you felt that kind of betrayal its sucks but all we can do is move forward and live life to the fullest. Love the content your doing a good job.
I would have given that setup a good home, I may not be someone made for content but I would have been eternally grateful for a setup like that. As someone who also has huge trust issues, I feel your pain. Have always loved your videos, keep doing you, man.
DUDE!!!! i live just outside denver in the county next to gilpin, i met philip personally while he did Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. he was always super rude and a very very dirty fighter. he would do things like a hammer lock but then push your arm up past hyper extension and that can tear the labrum or rotator cuff or even give you a hillsachs bone deformity. and yes he did say he was a deputy and brag about excessive force to the public, hence why he was politely asked to not come back to the gym i go to.
7:09 I was miss treated I was told “go get your eyes checked” miss treated all day every day for 4 years at my job. I have a disability and the boss did not care one bit
I always feel so saddened that people in positions of law enforcement (and in Filip's case, who've even studied to be paramedics) can say "I'd do this for free" just because they enjoy hrting other people so much. I know many people like this irl, and this is just a reminder. Wish the world wasn't this way.
Us long time followers/subscribers/supporters of you completely understand the sting and heartbreak that this must weigh on you. We are sorry for the pain that still lingers from your experience. You are an amazing guy, have given us so much knowledge and inspiration in the tech world. Hopefully one day you can completely heal from this
Ed, you work your butt off for the community...your community and the tech creator community. Love all around in my household. I am not a man of God by anymeans, but I know how to judge someones actions and those actions were in the wrong and you have every right to feel betrayed and hurt by what happened. Yes some of those products are free from the companies but people do not get to see the other side of that pr system. You have to "shop" around and speak with all the different reps from the companies and they can sometimes be a big pain. You have gone out of your way to try truly think about how you can make an impact in that persons life. That takes real heart! Thank you for all you do and keep doing what you love. If you get down to a few subs just know I am one of them.
Unfortunately you never knew or will know others intentions when they win the competitions you hold. The least the winner can do is ask for a cash out option versus wasting your time and money on trips and set up when someone else is more deserving. It is what it is. Glad you handled it like a gentleman and not fully go full force as it is better to be that way. Congrats to your success and everything you’ve earned in life. Keep putting out good content my friend.
8:20 the guy in the grey shirt has a watch on his left wrist. 9:49 the guy at the desk has it on his right wrist. Most people don’t wear watches on their right wrist. If you doubt this, take a look next time you’re in public: most folks wear on the left. But what’s certain is that people REALLY don’t tend to flip their watch from one wrist to another: I’ve never known someone to do that.
This is so sad we love everything you do and thank you for the setup videos you give away and you have inspired me always so relaxing to see the beautiful setups every weekend ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏
I've been dreaming about a surprise set up and i'm not even in the US 🥲. I think i probably die if that happens. Keep making other people's dream come true, no matter who he/she is. Regards from Cuba!!! ❤️
I really appreciate your philanthropy, and I try the best I can to help friends, coworkers, and family with new PC builds, myself. Right now, I'm building a powerful gaming PC for my nephew, who's been unemployed for the past 6 months, that can do streaming and video editing. I'm building him a Ryzen 9 5900X with an RTX 3070 Ti with 32GB or RAM, and 2TB of storage. I just want him to be successful in his content-creation career, if this is the path he chooses. I love your videos!
Never feel bad for being a good person, and even if you have to keep the lil devil inside you as a plan B, never let anyone changes you because there is good and bad everywhere and this is how the world is, keep on the good work, greetings from Algeria
So glad I work within a division of a correctional department that investigates staff for misconduct. I mean people do things that get them locked up… but they still deserve to be treated like human beings… and I take reports related to use of force and grievances and forward them for investigation… and sometimes leads to correctional officers/other staff within facilities to become residents of those facilities. You asked the difference between a sheriff and a deputy… short answer is the sheriff is the equivalent of a police chief(but is an elected position by the residents of the county) and the deputy is the equivalent of a patrol officer.
Thank you Ed for doing what you do. It's inspired myself and i'm sure several others to do anything tech and setup related. Not only that you've shown myself that even without a helping hand to still pull of what on wants. So thank you! I wish I could tell you this with my voice but I cannot. Regardless thank you big time!
Thanks for updating us. I was watching the video of his makeover the other day and was wondering what became of the guy. You have to feel sorry for someone like that and I hope the consequences of his choices make him grow to be a better person. Keep changing the lives of people who deserve it and thanks for being a good person Edgar.
I feel sorry for the guy he was beating up and all the good cops that have to deal with people like him making the go to feeling of the public, one of distrust for them.
I agree. To be honest, I doubt he will change significantly, at least not until he's old and fraiI. But I certainly hope he does. This is the only way forward.
i would like to adapt your concept of setup makeover in france but i couldn't do it even 1% as good as you do. i will probably give used condition setup, and demostrating how to find the best deals. so no lights, nothing useless.
Bro its been that lomg goddamn 5 years sheeesh i was like 11,i remember watching the vid with my lil bro, he sold his setup and bragged about it on ig or twitter,since day 1 it came out goddamnn,bro has resurfaced,no cap tho ed your like the only youtuber ive consistently watched for about 6 years now
Hey there I don't comment much on channels! But your videos are so good and give good training I built my own computer so now I play, working on big projects on the computer etc! People must show respect and thanks for nice gifts Big time ! So keep doing what you're doing! I'm no techie but those are nice videos you make here on the channel! is awesome my friend!
Wow, that was emotional watching this. Still can't believe you haven't been offered food or a simple glass of water the entire time you were in that room (in season 1). I'm glad your cousin was looking out for you! I used to have trust issues when I was like 18 or 19 for like 5, 6 years but now, I only trust my family. As much as I would like you to build my set-up, I don't actually have a set-up. I'm in debt, I owe around £5k but I have been watching your channel for a while, and watched at least 7-8 videos. I wanted to build a gaming PC for myself because like you said in one of your videos, "if you don't try, you won't learn. That's how you'll learn to be better" or something like that. So yeah, once I'm done paying off my debt hopefully by April/May, I'm gonna build a gaming PC mainly using Asus. I'm not gonna say what components or which products I will use but I will let you know once I'm done building the PC, hopefully by the end of this year as I also want to save some money for myself in the future. I really learned a lot from watching your videos as I'm actually a PS5 gamer and I don't know much about PC, obviously thanks to you and your well detailed videos, I know so much in like 2 months or so. I cannot wait to watch more of your upcoming videos and I sincerely hope you don't come across another unfortunate event because you don't deserve to be treated like that, noone does! So while I'm not asking you to build me an Asus gaming PC, I'll be more than happy to host you and your family in my house in London, United Kingdom! Stay warm Ed! 🤙🏽
I'm very disappointed in that filip guy, I feel your pain because when you invest so much time into something so special, you can't put a price on it because it's priceless. To trust a total stranger takes a lot, and to be betrayed for doing good and just blessing someone, I have to say you did an amazing job. I salute you for how you handled the situation and didn't let it stop you from helping others who truly need a dream set up. # I love the amazing work you do.
Tech source I have a pc but it’s not very good and always blacks out while I’m doing stuff on it I know it’s a long shot of you seeing this and I haven’t been watching you for very long but I’m always begging my dad to watch you and it would mean the world and more for you to build a pc for me.😊
i didn't realize this happend to you my guy, people just suck, i've been watching your channel for a while now and i can tell your a good person sorry that guy done that too you
It is the same watch on the arm. So I don't think it could be another person than him, or then there needs to be a person that looks like him very much.
I can’t believe what I must’ve felt to know about what he had and since then has done and what you had to go through. I don’t know what has to go through someone’s mind to just sell something that a man out of the kindness of his heart, spent hours and even months preparing and building a setup just for you to basically throw it out the window. Sorry you had to experience this Ed.
As an Police Officer myself, this hurts so much. Your passion and time that you take for these magnificent setups to make people happy and than to receive stab some knife in the back. Pff it's so painful to see. I love also to make my own setups and got a lot of tips by watching your videos. But having 2 sons and working at the force, I spend all my setup money to my two young kids to give them everything to play games in the best way to experience it. It would be a dream to have an new setup someday to get back into gaming :) and it would be an amazing experience if you made my setup. Looking for to the next season !!! Keep up making these great content videos especially these make over setup videos!!!
That's sad Edgar, I was a home theatre installer before becoming a project manager and put my heart and soul into each install as everyone was unique because no two houses or systems are the same. I can understand your feeling of disappointment but not from a giving point of view, more of a respect. Don't let him get you down, we all love you and how generous, kind, hilarious, sincere, and brilliant you are.. PS: it keeps unsubscribing me from you for some reason..
I understand how you feel. All your dedication and hard work for it to be tarnished. Idk what his situation was at the time. Might’ve been he needed money quick but for the fact to just not care enough to give you a heads up or just a “hey man, I need this money for it.” Would’ve gone along way. But after this came out to light. You can definitely see what kind of person he really was. Just sad to see a man call himself a Christian, use his role of a protector to hurt.
DAMN BRO! I cant say i understand how you feel but i sympathize with you. You poured your heart and soul out to gift a subscriber with some pretty expensive equipment for them to sell it. THATS JUST MESSED UP!! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL BRO!!! KEEP THE CONTENT COMING! 💻🖥🖱
Soooo now its time for kind and good people to get a PC setup build.....😉....I'm ready Ed lol! It sucks you spent alot of time and effort for that person! Watching your videos you are a very humble and grateful person which is why I love your videos!
A County Sheriff is in charge of a County Sheriff's Office or Department, while a Deputy is pretty much what they call an Officer in the Sheriff's Office. A Sheriff is the equivalent of the Police Chief while the Deputy is the equivalent of a Police Officer (standard policeman).
Appreciate everyone that still has my back, you guys are what keeps me going ❤.
To the rest that are still upset that I havn't 'moved on'. I have...in the past 5 years I havnt made a video about this dude lol. I forgave and moved on, hell I wished him the best if you stayed and watched till the end. Its more than just selling stuff I gave him, its the way he handled it.

Karma is a wonderful thing and im sure alot of people can now rest easy. Regardless, I hope he learns from this lesson and becomes a better person and treats people better.
don’t let the bitter people in life get to you and keep doing what you love
I love your content and have been watching for several years now. You should make a video about your watch, since that is one NICE richard mille

Hey man, I really appreciate all that you do even though that happened to you before, I am a new subscriber and just started watching about 2-3 months ago and your videos inspire me and give me ideas for what I should do when I eventually build my setup.
this is mind blowing what we all have just witnessed and I think it has shown us as the you can't trust anyone even if its someone from another country, but there are good people out there.
No matter where we all go in life , you keep moving forward and never give up.
❤
This is the last thing that I expected from not only this channel, but Ed himself and even Filip. The ending made the whole thing a lot more sweet than bitter, but man, how times have changed. Thanks for highlighting your generosity and will to forgive, Ed.
I've been following your channel for a while. it's great what you do for people and what you make them feel when they are surprised like that. Keep doing it!
I love your setup makeovers and they are the reason I started watching your videos. I would never be able to sell a setup I get for free. especially with that much love and thought being put into it. the sentimental value is worth more than any amount. my current pc I plan to keep for a very long time since its my first ever.
@plusultra2058 I don’t believe the guy was in debt. And even in debt I probably wouldn’t sell it depending on how much in debt I am in. It’s not hard to stay out of deep debt that one or two paychecks can’t fix.
Ed you're a great man I'd say.Not everyone has the ability to forgive someone and still you're giving him good advice. I really appreciate your character.❤
I feel you bro having trust issue from an experience like this. Still, keep doing what you do. The real people that supports you are a lot more.
life and death..it would have to literally be 'I do this or someone is going to..not be there tomorrow' before I'd EVER consider selling such a gift.
you sir are a prince, both for your generosity, and humble nature. I thank you, for giving of yourself, time, money, effort, to the community, and I for one, appreciate you for it.
keep doing what has so many looking up to you and trying their best to emulate you.
thank you for being an inspiration.
That guy was a big D I’m 57 and wish one of my kids could have a setup like that or even close, keep up the great job
I can sort of relate to Ed, I built my sister her own setup during the pandemic since alot of jobs were work at home and she didn't have one for herself. I wanted to make her happy while at the same time provide opportunity for work, so every request like the theme, color, preference, use case was taken into account, considering that time, the demand for PC components were through the roof because of the lockdown so you could say that we had a hard time looking for parts and even buying them at a premium price just because she needed it so I was heartbroken after finding out that after 8 months she sold the setup on Facebook marketplace so I msg her and asked why she was selling the setup only the find out because she no longer got the money to pay her bills. In a way maybe Filip is going through something that forced him to sell the setup. Don't get me wrong I agree that what Filip's actions was wrong but I hope that the community just leave the man alone and let him live his life, we don't know what people are going through day to day so let's be kinder to each other. Then this world will truly be a better place.
that’s a great thing you did for you sister bro, I’m sorry about what she did in return tho.
W brother, hopefully your sister is in a more stable financial situation now. And hopefully your going well also, sounds like you deserve it
Bruh filip has a 4000sq ft house in california . Backyard pool gated community green grass front yard id say he was well off
Philip in prison now I guess or lawsuit lol
Bro you are a great guy, thanks for doing everything you do for others❤
As a Christian I’m vary sad and hurt to see a police officer let alone a “Christian officer” act like this it hurts my soul
He is not of god but of this world.
Who cares
Well, christians - and religious people in general - don't have a good track record. Someone being religious doesn't mean that they are a good person.
U be surprised what officers do on a daily basis they abuse the power they have they will use it however they see fit there isn't slot u can do even tho they are still human like us
@@ethanconnelly3872 yes he is man it’s sad to see someone represent Jesus so poorly
I cant imagine getting a gift like that and having it assembled and personalized and then just throwing it away. My setup has taken me a year to get it where it is and its not done yet. That stuff is very expensive. Everything from the computer and monitors to rhe desk shelving and decor is expensive and for the average person takes a long time to save up for and slowly put together and in your videos i can tell you put your heart and soul into every setup you give to people. You do a nice thing and spend your own hard earned money to do it. Philip clearly didnt appreciate it. But he got his. Karma always catches up.
Ed your such an amazing person and have a huge Heart. Love you man and thanks again for the great opportunities.
Wow! That sucks big time. I understand what you went through and why you have trust issues when dealing with others. I've had some similar situations like that myself. In my opinion, it was a learning lesson to watch out for and recognize people who have an ill agenda towards you.
I recently started watching your videos and I’ve learned a lot from your channel so thank you. You’re a good person and the application should be tough because if you’re going to put in the time effort and money into a setup it should be someone who truly deserves it. Thank you for the content and may God be with you and everyone else on this planet earth.
When you give something away just let it go. Let yourself be rewarded within yourself and by being a good person. You will be rewarded, if you believe in Karma you would know this.
I know I’m pretty late to the party but I only discovered this channel a few days ago.
I definitely feel for you here and sorry that this has happened. It’s a horrible feeling. When I first started my Facebook group, my admins and I chipped in to buy a statue to give away to members. From memory; it cost us about $500. The winner then asked to sell it after receiving it, on our platform where they won it, and we were heart broken.
It sucks that these sorts of people exist but don’t blame yourself. You tried to do something wonderful and have continued doing so since, and changed people’s lives.
Keep up the great work Ed! Love the content!
Sorry to hear this Ed.
You do great work and I thank you for it!
Id love to see you build a sleeper pc, like youd get a tower office pc case, place a 4090 and a 14900k and try giving it to someone
Hey Ed, what Filip did was crazy and I'm sorry you had to go through that experience back then. I used to be in a similar situation like yours when one of my friends that I invited to my house actually stole a game that me and my brothers loved playing and since then it's been very tough trying to actually trust anyone these days.
My man fillip went from selling a setup with love to bragging to his friends on how he loves being a pissed off cop. 💪
The guy is a PoS, we all know that. But you sir, are the best type of person, and we won't let anyone like Filip drag down you, the channel, the vibe or the fun. Happy holidays y'all.
Ed I understand the feeling, but just let it go and start over. What you do is very good and good. The lessons you receive will make you look at it in a different way, but from another angle, the person who has done it will probably remember this lesson for a long time, so let's move on. I always follow you from fans in Asia, Thailand.❤
oh gosh that is really bad... i feel for you man... Much love and thanks for the great vids !!
I haven't been watching for long cause I onyl stumbled upon your channel two days ago, but it's actually insane that someone would sell one of your setups they are amazing. I saw what you did for Anrita, it looks awesome. Keep it up!
I'm not sure you'll see this, I recently started watching your videos when I was making my own small budget pc
I just wanna say. You have good heart and God will bless you. You might have made a mistake or two in your life but.. at the end you did it out of the goodness of your heart and that's all that matters at the end of everyone's life❤ continue your great journey AND LOVE THE VIDEOS Detective Techsource
Ed, seriously, you give. That's who you are. That guy is a taker. Don't let him rent space in your head. Since the start of your give aways, you have picked some really deserving people. Just keep doing what you're doing.
Lol, doesn’t give things quick enough when he says he will….
You are such a good guy Ed. Kind words despite the facts. What you do for people is unreal and I'm so happy to see good people finding success. Life is hard, and trusting people can be even harder. Listen to your heart and instincts. I hope no one takes advantage of you again. I'm still shocked, even though I know people are capable of worse. It really is shameful to hurt people just because you're in a position of power, or hurt anyone for that matter just because you can. Shame on you Filip. Keep that beautiful spirit Ed! Positive vibes to you.
Ed you have a heart of gold! Your content is solid! Thanks for all your hard work 🙏🏾
you tha goat ed. As a follower of christ i really do believe in forgiveness and having understanding towards those who wronged us. i think we live in a world where once you do something wrong u are viewed as villain for the rest of your life and you are just canceled forever. Barely anyone gives people a chance to redeem themselves or even just simply forgiving. i really commend u on this
Dear Edgar. I Can't say that I understand what you're feeling in regards to this case. But what I can honestly say is that you're a great person. I've been following you for quiet some time now. I've seen how you interact with people you meet randomly in your vlogs. Sometimes, there are people like Filip out there who are meant to teach us what not to be in life. And I think that lots of your followers learned something from that incident. We totally support you in the decision to make the Setup Makeovers harder to participate. When you put so much time and dedication into something just for the sake of a giveaway, people that receive it should appreciate the effort at the very least.
I was raised to always be greatful for what is given to me thats why I have so many things from like 15 years ago I still cherrish to this day the only time I would ever sell something given to me is if I needed the money desperately. Im sorry you felt that kind of betrayal its sucks but all we can do is move forward and live life to the fullest. Love the content your doing a good job.
2:22 ed flexin on us with that source tech monayyy 😹😹😹😹
Lmao, I noticed it too
got no words but these one's "Love you ed and keep up the great work"
I would have given that setup a good home, I may not be someone made for content but I would have been eternally grateful for a setup like that.
As someone who also has huge trust issues, I feel your pain. Have always loved your videos, keep doing you, man.
to get a makeover from you would be such an honor, I don't know how someone would ruin that.
Damn tech source rocking a Richard Mille 😳😳
DUDE!!!! i live just outside denver in the county next to gilpin, i met philip personally while he did Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. he was always super rude and a very very dirty fighter. he would do things like a hammer lock but then push your arm up past hyper extension and that can tear the labrum or rotator cuff or even give you a hillsachs bone deformity. and yes he did say he was a deputy and brag about excessive force to the public, hence why he was politely asked to not come back to the gym i go to.
He's one of those douchebags that hides his true-self by acting nice. I hate people like him.
Dam! Dude sounds like a sociopath What was the name of the bjj gym?
I haven’t watched you in years but I see you are wearing an RM so you are doing good man. Good for you
7:09 I was miss treated I was told “go get your eyes checked” miss treated all day every day for 4 years at my job. I have a disability and the boss did not care one bit
I always feel so saddened that people in positions of law enforcement (and in Filip's case, who've even studied to be paramedics) can say "I'd do this for free" just because they enjoy hrting other people so much. I know many people like this irl, and this is just a reminder. Wish the world wasn't this way.
Us long time followers/subscribers/supporters of you completely understand the sting and heartbreak that this must weigh on you. We are sorry for the pain that still lingers from your experience. You are an amazing guy, have given us so much knowledge and inspiration in the tech world. Hopefully one day you can completely heal from this
Bruh that arrest footage happened on my birthday 😂😂
Ed, you work your butt off for the community...your community and the tech creator community. Love all around in my household. I am not a man of God by anymeans, but I know how to judge someones actions and those actions were in the wrong and you have every right to feel betrayed and hurt by what happened. Yes some of those products are free from the companies but people do not get to see the other side of that pr system. You have to "shop" around and speak with all the different reps from the companies and they can sometimes be a big pain. You have gone out of your way to try truly think about how you can make an impact in that persons life. That takes real heart! Thank you for all you do and keep doing what you love. If you get down to a few subs just know I am one of them.
Unfortunately you never knew or will know others intentions when they win the competitions you hold. The least the winner can do is ask for a cash out option versus wasting your time and money on trips and set up when someone else is more deserving. It is what it is. Glad you handled it like a gentleman and not fully go full force as it is better to be that way. Congrats to your success and everything you’ve earned in life. Keep putting out good content my friend.
8:20 the guy in the grey shirt has a watch on his left wrist. 9:49 the guy at the desk has it on his right wrist. Most people don’t wear watches on their right wrist. If you doubt this, take a look next time you’re in public: most folks wear on the left. But what’s certain is that people REALLY don’t tend to flip their watch from one wrist to another: I’ve never known someone to do that.
This is so sad we love everything you do and thank you for the setup videos you give away and you have inspired me always so relaxing to see the beautiful setups every weekend ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏
I watch almost all your videos and I love them, keep going and you will have the 4M quickly,, road to 4M🎉🎉
I've been dreaming about a surprise set up and i'm not even in the US 🥲. I think i probably die if that happens. Keep making other people's dream come true, no matter who he/she is. Regards from Cuba!!! ❤️
I make My own money bro, but You don't know what it's like for some people. Believe me
I really appreciate your philanthropy, and I try the best I can to help friends, coworkers, and family with new PC builds, myself. Right now, I'm building a powerful gaming PC for my nephew, who's been unemployed for the past 6 months, that can do streaming and video editing. I'm building him a Ryzen 9 5900X with an RTX 3070 Ti with 32GB or RAM, and 2TB of storage. I just want him to be successful in his content-creation career, if this is the path he chooses. I love your videos!
Love you Ed, keep doing you brother!
The word abusive in the title made me think this was the police department on a case, lol
Never feel bad for being a good person, and even if you have to keep the lil devil inside you as a plan B, never let anyone changes you because there is good and bad everywhere and this is how the world is, keep on the good work, greetings from Algeria
Jeez i remeber that when it happened, still glad thst youre keeping up continuing to do amazing things!
My god! Filip returns!
So glad I work within a division of a correctional department that investigates staff for misconduct.
I mean people do things that get them locked up… but they still deserve to be treated like human beings… and I take reports related to use of force and grievances and forward them for investigation… and sometimes leads to correctional officers/other staff within facilities to become residents of those facilities.
You asked the difference between a sheriff and a deputy… short answer is the sheriff is the equivalent of a police chief(but is an elected position by the residents of the county) and the deputy is the equivalent of a patrol officer.
Thank you Ed for doing what you do. It's inspired myself and i'm sure several others to do anything tech and setup related. Not only that you've shown myself that even without a helping hand to still pull of what on wants. So thank you! I wish I could tell you this with my voice but I cannot. Regardless thank you big time!
Awesome ending! Forgiveness does so much for the person who received harm. I'm proud of you for growing in that area of your life!
i love you ed, thanks for sharing such intamate story with us, feel lucky to have you in my life ❤
Thanks for updating us. I was watching the video of his makeover the other day and was wondering what became of the guy. You have to feel sorry for someone like that and I hope the consequences of his choices make him grow to be a better person. Keep changing the lives of people who deserve it and thanks for being a good person Edgar.
I feel sorry for the guy he was beating up and all the good cops that have to deal with people like him making the go to feeling of the public, one of distrust for them.
I agree. To be honest, I doubt he will change significantly, at least not until he's old and fraiI. But I certainly hope he does. This is the only way forward.
I hope Ed chose a subscriber here from the Philippines. I'm sure he will not be disappointed and treasure his setup makeover most.
OMG! that's him. WOW! At first I would have said no, but totally looks like him
i would like to adapt your concept of setup makeover in france but i couldn't do it even 1% as good as you do. i will probably give used condition setup, and demostrating how to find the best deals. so no lights, nothing useless.
Hey Ed, what model RM is that on your wrist? It looks dope.
Bro its been that lomg goddamn 5 years sheeesh i was like 11,i remember watching the vid with my lil bro, he sold his setup and bragged about it on ig or twitter,since day 1 it came out goddamnn,bro has resurfaced,no cap tho ed your like the only youtuber ive consistently watched for about 6 years now
Karma has a way of finding us all in the end, he got what he put out.
Hey there I don't comment much on channels! But your videos are so good and give good training I built my own computer so now I play, working on big projects on the computer etc! People must show respect and thanks for nice gifts Big time ! So keep doing what you're doing! I'm no techie but those are nice videos you make here on the channel! is awesome my friend!
Than you Ed, you are so inspiring, and Im sure you have also inspired many others.
Wow, that was emotional watching this. Still can't believe you haven't been offered food or a simple glass of water the entire time you were in that room (in season 1). I'm glad your cousin was looking out for you! I used to have trust issues when I was like 18 or 19 for like 5, 6 years but now, I only trust my family.
As much as I would like you to build my set-up, I don't actually have a set-up. I'm in debt, I owe around £5k but I have been watching your channel for a while, and watched at least 7-8 videos. I wanted to build a gaming PC for myself because like you said in one of your videos, "if you don't try, you won't learn. That's how you'll learn to be better" or something like that.
So yeah, once I'm done paying off my debt hopefully by April/May, I'm gonna build a gaming PC mainly using Asus. I'm not gonna say what components or which products I will use but I will let you know once I'm done building the PC, hopefully by the end of this year as I also want to save some money for myself in the future.
I really learned a lot from watching your videos as I'm actually a PS5 gamer and I don't know much about PC, obviously thanks to you and your well detailed videos, I know so much in like 2 months or so. I cannot wait to watch more of your upcoming videos and I sincerely hope you don't come across another unfortunate event because you don't deserve to be treated like that, noone does!
So while I'm not asking you to build me an Asus gaming PC, I'll be more than happy to host you and your family in my house in London, United Kingdom!
Stay warm Ed! 🤙🏽
I'm very disappointed in that filip guy, I feel your pain because when you invest so much time into something so special, you can't put a price on it because it's priceless. To trust a total stranger takes a lot, and to be betrayed for doing good and just blessing someone, I have to say you did an amazing job. I salute you for how you handled the situation and didn't let it stop you from helping others who truly need a dream set up. # I love the amazing work you do.
Tech source I have a pc but it’s not very good and always blacks out while I’m doing stuff on it I know it’s a long shot of you seeing this and I haven’t been watching you for very long but I’m always begging my dad to watch you and it would mean the world and more for you to build a pc for me.😊
i didn't realize this happend to you my guy, people just suck, i've been watching your channel for a while now and i can tell your a good person sorry that guy done that too you
Cmon Ed last bit was emotional af haha! Almost got me there.
Can’t believe this, he looked like such a likable guy in that video bro…
It is the same watch on the arm. So I don't think it could be another person than him, or then there needs to be a person that looks like him very much.
I can’t believe what I must’ve felt to know about what he had and since then has done and what you had to go through. I don’t know what has to go through someone’s mind to just sell something that a man out of the kindness of his heart, spent hours and even months preparing and building a setup just for you to basically throw it out the window. Sorry you had to experience this Ed.
As an Police Officer myself, this hurts so much. Your passion and time that you take for these magnificent setups to make people happy and than to receive stab some knife in the back. Pff it's so painful to see.
I love also to make my own setups and got a lot of tips by watching your videos. But having 2 sons and working at the force, I spend all my setup money to my two young kids to give them everything to play games in the best way to experience it.
It would be a dream to have an new setup someday to get back into gaming :) and it would be an amazing experience if you made my setup. Looking for to the next season !!!
Keep up making these great content videos especially these make over setup videos!!!
That's sad Edgar, I was a home theatre installer before becoming a project manager and put my heart and soul into each install as everyone was unique because no two houses or systems are the same. I can understand your feeling of disappointment but not from a giving point of view, more of a respect.
Don't let him get you down, we all love you and how generous, kind, hilarious, sincere, and brilliant you are..
PS: it keeps unsubscribing me from you for some reason..
I understand how you feel. All your dedication and hard work for it to be tarnished. Idk what his situation was at the time. Might’ve been he needed money quick but for the fact to just not care enough to give you a heads up or just a “hey man, I need this money for it.” Would’ve gone along way. But after this came out to light. You can definitely see what kind of person he really was. Just sad to see a man call himself a Christian, use his role of a protector to hurt.
DAMN BRO! I cant say i understand how you feel but i sympathize with you. You poured your heart and soul out to gift a subscriber with some pretty expensive equipment for them to sell it. THATS JUST MESSED UP!! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL BRO!!! KEEP THE CONTENT COMING! 💻🖥🖱
Soooo now its time for kind and good people to get a PC setup build.....😉....I'm ready Ed lol! It sucks you spent alot of time and effort for that person! Watching your videos you are a very humble and grateful person which is why I love your videos!
Love this! Well done. Keep up the great work Ed! Ps…. pC Setup season 11 for me….. 😊
No plz for me
A County Sheriff is in charge of a County Sheriff's Office or Department, while a Deputy is pretty much what they call an Officer in the Sheriff's Office. A Sheriff is the equivalent of the Police Chief while the Deputy is the equivalent of a Police Officer (standard policeman).
your setup to react to this video is better than the standing one. with the mousepads in the back and the lights its nice imo
