I would just like to say thank you to those who entered this weeks Setup Wars and I hope you and more people enter Setup Wars over the coming weeks.
Don't Forget, the Team here have been looking at EVERYTHING and is judged accordingly.
Hints and tips will be given at the end of each submission to help improve your setup if you wish to enter again.
Only 2 entries this week and both were excellent, considering they are both Digital audio workstations and I love music recording.
So here is the runner up for Setup Wars week #2...

If I had it my way this one would win, just because of the guitars included in the picture (played myself for nearly 30 years.) but alas, the team agreed that I can't always have my own way.
Lets start with the PC, a Ryzen 7 1700 system with 16Gb of DDR4 memory and an AMD RX 580 with a 1Tb HDD. It is a dell Inspiron system so it will more than likely be an OEM motherboard and case. But it is still an impressive system non the less.
There is also a Macbook pro on the desk which has an i7 CPU in there along with 16Gb memory and 256 SSD.
In the rest of the image we have... 10 Guitars, FX Pedal Board, 3 Bass guitars, Drum kit, 3 amps and one speaker cab, violin, full size keyboard (musical), Focusrite Clarett 8 Pre Audio Interface, a pair of studio monitors, Bose companion 5 audio system, xbox controller, a logitech 420 headset and an awesome painting of freddy Murcury.
To try and win the team over, he included his 2 handsom looking dogs, Banshee and Ghost, (did you name him ghost because he is white like Jon Snows dire wolf in Game of thrones? If you did, that is awesome)
Overall the workstation itself looks very tidy on the surface but cable managment is an after thought. I know from experiance how god aweful it is to keep audio cables tidy withought breaking them, but perhaps use some velcro ties to keep them altogether. The same can be said behind the PC tower and back of the desk.
Maybe get a larger desk to acomidate the equipment you have and make it more easily accessable, it wont look as crowded as you said in your submition. Also you will be able to get the pc tower of the floor, especially if you have dogs, as fur can be dragged into the system and clog it up.Other than that, great setup and i am very jellouse, i only have an 8 and 7 string guitar and want more.
And this Weeks WINNER.....

Well what can i say about this set up? I love it.
Aside from the dangling cables from the headphones and game pad, the cable management is super clean and well hidden.
So in this setup we have an i7 3770 system with 8Gb of ddr3 1600Mhz Kingston memory and an MSI GTX 970 GPU all built onto a mATX Asrock B75M-DGS revision 2 motherboard. It has a single 120mm corsair H55 AiO cooler in a push/pull config to keep things nice and cool and a big yet very quiet 20mm intake fan to create a cold/positive airflow in a beautiful Thermaltake V21 mATX case.
There is also a 128Gb SSD for the OS, a 1Tb HDD for programs with 2x2Tb HDD's in raid 1 for storage.
On the desk we have a Sharkoon mechanical keyboard and XL mouse mat with a Gamdias Ourea mouse.
Audio consists of some impressive looking Floating Synthese 3 Speakers on either side of the desk with a custom 100Kg 15” Cerwin Vega Sub. To power these we have a pair of Mono Marantz MA-500 amps. The DAC is an Audiolab M-DAC that is ported to a Tisbury mini passive preamp to divide the signal to the headphones and speakers. To power the Beyerdynamic DT-990 headphones, there is also a little Dot 1+ amp.
As it stands, the setup screams organization and you can see that this is a true Digital Audio Workstation.
Not overly keen on the lamp, it dosen't fit the overall look of the setup so perhaps change it out for something a little more modern looking? Maybe one that can be mounted behind the monitor? And the only other thing that is staring me in the face is the red sATA cable in your tower....
Props for the e-smoker/vape, just quite smoking myself and I am so desperate for a smoke so I'm sucking on it like a prostitute.
Congratulations @xyzposter, once all the posts from the week have been added up and collected, your well earned Steem Dollars will be transferred over.
I would like to say again a big thank you to those who submitted their setups and hope to see more of the same in the coming weeks.
Runners up are free to submit again in next weeks Setup Wars if they wish.
Thanks for reading.

Hey, thanks man! I'm glad you liked it, too bad there were few contestants to battle against :) (the lamp was a gift)
Happy new year!

I'm shure it will. Maybe in the future with some more exposure you will have too many contestants to choose from. Keep in mind that steemit is a platform where you can earn crypto's on the most low end systems. So a lot of people are on here with just a laptop or tablet/phone.
