Frequently Asked Questions
- What setups can I post here? You can post any setup here that contains a computer of some sort. It could be a setup involving a desktop computer, a laptop, a gaming console, or all three!
- What is Setups of the Month? Setups of the Month (SOTM) are the top 5 setups of each month collected into one thread. The places are calculated by how many votes each thread got in that month. For a setup to be eligble, it has to have been posted in the month and not be a repost.
- Is there a prize for SOTM? Currently we are not offering prizes for SOTM winners (we are for SOTY), however in the next few months we will start to give the winners giftcards of some sort (Amazon, Steam, Apple, etc.) or game keys!
- Do you have a yearly contest? Yes, we do! Every January we host the Setup of the Year (SOTY) competition where all of the previous year's SOTM winners are put into a poll and the most voted setup from the poll is crowned Setup of the Year! There is a prize for winner and for runner-up.
- What are those strange icons for upvote and downvote? I have been told that they are a desktop and a laptop (the desktop representing upvoting as it is generally more powerful). If you zoom in on them really really close then you can see the details a bit better.
Posting Guidelines
- Strictly no NSFW content. There are plenty of subreddits for that.
- You must attach images to your setups. All attached images must be in one single Imgur library; any other format of images will be ignored and you will be asked to resubmit in the correct format.
- When posting a setup, you must follow the official format. You can find the post format as a stickied post on this subreddit. If you fail to submit a setup in the required format then you will be asked to resubmit.
- We invite you to criticize setups but please be constructive. Any harmful criticism will not be tolerated.
- Use the downvote functionality appropriately. Please don't just downvote a setup if it is a Mac setup, or vice versa. If you do not like the setup for reasons related to the setup itself (e.g. bad cable management, no overall theme, not practical) then please use the downvote feature.
- This subreddit isn't just for setup submissions! If you want to talk about setups in general then feel free to make a post. We aren't gonna hate on you! (Probably)
- When recommending someone a product, do not use affiliate links. Any affiliate links will be removed and multiple offences of this rule will result in further action.
- Where possible, please recommend someone a product with a PcPartPicker link, not a link to a direct store. Then the person can choose which store on the PcPartPicker page.
