I myself lost my father when I was a child. It was my mother who raised me alone. It was very difficult. She went through a lot to raise me. Now I have grown up, I have my first degree on ICT , but I could not get a job in the field I studied, but I didn't give up, I went down and worked Housekeeping to make her equal to other people. iam proud of you all things you say will make me strong thanks edgar .

Edgar, we are all so proud of you bro. Your mother raised an amazing son and I was touched by your story ❤.

Thank you for these videos you post. Often we don’t know what is happening behind the scenes. Thank you for telling us about your life and struggles. You have made your family proud with all these fun videos

This is what makes tech source a whole different channel when it comes to PC building. Thank you for being open about your past. 🙏 And your mom is a soldier. May God bless her.

Thank you for sharing your story. It really hit me, but in a good sense. I was in a similar situation. A few years after I was born, my mom and dad got into debt mediation because of loans my parents couldn't pay off. It was always my dream to have a cool gaming setup, which obviously couldn't be realised. But then my mom got cervical cancer which was a huge blow because we had trouble paying for the treatment my mom was getting. But in the end, we got out of it. But then, tragedy struck...My dad passed away of heart failure when I was 7. My mom was heartbroken and it left a deep trauma in me. But nonetheless, my mom worked her ass off, literally damaging her whole body in the process until we were out of our debt. And a few weeks ago, my dream came true from watching huge inspirations like you. I got my very first Gaming PC. My mom always did everything for me. Edgar, you are a huge inspiration to so many, and as much as we can't compare each others situation because we all have different experiences and ways of processing tragedy and trauma, just know you are not alone! Please keep being the awesome person you are

Dang man. That story was so deep. PC Build itself has that ASMR feel while listening. Mad respect. Have similar dad but was blessed with best friends fathers who decided to teach me the ropes of being a man. Keep that chin up. Good stuff.

I've been watching you for 3-4 years now, Ed, and your channel has been an absolute inspiration to me. 4 years ago, I had no idea content like yours existed on KZread and I had no idea you could build your own computer and create a cool gaming space. I have learned so much for you - from building a pc, to keeping a clean setup and all stuff computer/tech related - you taught me so much. Your dry sense of humor and originality as well as your openness about your life in the channel is the reason I keep coming back (maybe also because I envy all the cool tech you get to play with, ha-ha). It's sad to hear your story but it made you the incredible man you are today, reaching millions in the digital space and blessed with a lovely family. In fact, you along with a couple other tech youtubers inspired me to start my channel. I am still learning in the KZread space, and I have just under 1000 subscribers under my name. And a lot of the stuff I do it because of what I learned or saw from you. I do this for fun and hopefully one day I get to reach your level and maybe meet you. But my point here is that you are a great and self-made guy, and you shouldn't be sad about your past. Not all of us had it easy, but the future is always brighter for those who at least try to make it that better. Godspeed.

After hearing about your story Edgar, it touched me. The fact that even someone like you can have a rough past should really tell everyone, never to judge a book by its cover. You’re an inspiration and I’m glad to be a subscriber my friend. Also I think Edgar’s podcast would be a big hit.

Edgar , my guy.. We both are same in many ways.. your experience was so emotional..I had something similar too in my life. You are strong brother.. My admiration for you went from 100 to 1000000000..Always know , You are a GOAT of PC builds and PC tech imo ❤❤❤

Thanks for sharing your story Ed. It's sometimes so easy for us as viewers to look at successful content creators like yourself, living in a lovely home with a lovely family, and forget that it's not always been sunshine and rainbows for you. To have the strength to do what you've done and succeed the way you have, not only speaks volumes about you, but it speaks volumes about your mum as well, and how she raised you. I'm certain she's incredibly proud of you.

I came into this video with a 3 euro pizza from the bakery with a smile on my face, and ended up with tears in my eyes watching a dude put together a Sick Starfield PC, You're pretty much what I aspire to be my guy, I'm 22 now (in college) and I hope to be in the same position as you one day to provide for my family❤

Thank you for the backstory it adds so much to the channel, makes people understand you more, where you came from and how you ended up where you are now. What’s left now is seeing where you end up in the future, hoping for the best!

Nah the baby break at 12:31 from that deep heart to heart convo was much needed 🥹 May God bless her.

Thank you Ed for these types of videos. So glad to have you talk more about yourself so we get to know you better. Takes some real heart to be comfortable to share that. ❤

Ed you have so much to be proud of! You’re an inspiration to many of us. Thank you for sharing more about your life, I’m a long time viewer and appreciate you being vulnerable with us. You deserve the world man keep going strong 🖤

Edgar you sharing your story and actually shedding tears only brings us closer together. I only have more respect for you for sharing something so personal for the world to see, I mean this is how u can tell someone is a genuine person. So thank you for sharing, keep pumping out content because u love making it and we love watching it. It's the perfect balance. Yin and yang is at play throughout all of our lives, i mean look how you were able to come from nothing to having such a massive audience that loves your videos and supports you always❤. Your father and my mom's dad both were not present in the lives of their kids and to this day my mom still doesn't even know what her dad looks likes, what kind of person he was or anything. So hearing that golden nugget of you and your dad I can understand how it makes you feel thanks to my mom. Regardless you turned out to be a independent man, a husband and proud father of 2 beautiful daughters Olivia and Shayla are lucky to have you and ofc they gave the whole of the techsource family too. I like to think we are only as strong as how much you suffered and the pain you had to go through in life along with the sacrifices and life lessons you had to learn along the way to get to where you are today.

This video shows that content creators are real people with real lives. Great going Ed. We will continue to support your channel.

Love the baby being part of the build. My girls are almost 17 and 19. They grow up way too quick. Love who they are now, but miss the baby days too. Sorry your dad had his issues. I feel sad for him that he missed you all growing up. Your mom sounds like she’s a Saint to keep trying it with him for her children when she knew the likely outcome. But knew every day he was there was a day for the kids to experience and maybe remember. Good intentions. That said, he didn’t deserve you all. I imagine a mom that raised a man like yourself did great with your siblings too. Keep doing what you do, and keep being the amazing dad you are for your girls. We are all fans and proud of you for persevering and wanting to take care of your mom.

Super hard to admit or even mention half let alone the whole story of what you just told. You have over 3.6 million of your children here for you because you are the dad we all need. You are always there, without complaint, and have a smile. I am overly happy with how your life turned out and how much of a difference you made in our lives as viewers. I can speak for everyone on that, we are here for you and you are all of our dads. Love you bro and keep up the good work. Absolutely love your dedication!

I'm so proud of you Ed, everything you've achieved and worked so hard for, you deserve the world. I can't wait to see you hit the next milestones on your path, we're all here to be part of your journey

Man, to open up to your viewers and followers like that. Takes some next level courage. Always love to listen to success stories. Obviously you're better off now that what you've been through and it is very well deserved for a good guy like you, but that journey you shared makes it even more meaningful and worthwhile and priceless. I'm just happy to see that despite all the success you have right now, you still manage to keep your feet on the ground and share your blessings with other people and you never waver in doing so. A big kudos and standing ovation to your Mom on that part for how she brought you up to be a good and grounded person. More power to you my friend! Love from the Philippines! 🤜🤛🍻

I participated in the giveaway and this build is so 🔥 . Your content is always so entertaining because you do your best to give us content to watch. And also mad respect man for having the courage to tell us your story and life man

That is a really insane PC build dude that's actually mind blowing ❤

Same here my dad never been around in my life and we had the struggle in life aswell. But as a grown up man and dad from two sons and a happy family I got the feeling that I appreciate life even more. Learning the hard way as a kid makes you realize the world even more and you see both sides of a medal! So feel you Ed ❤ keep the head up, stay as you are and enjoy the life you workt so hard for. Best of wishes for you and your family ❤

Don't know how not having a dad feels, but, I can tell that you're doing a pretty damn good job being a dad to your family. That takes alot and I'm sure they appreciate everything you're doing and then some. Nice build, is Starfield worth the hype? Great video, Ed, oh, yeah, I learned how your last name is pronounced, very nice. Have a great weekend 😎.

Bro I'm new to ur channel, and thx a lot for that emotional showed. Made me bring back all those memories about my family. So many great, sad and fantastic moments that sadly will never have them back again cuz all my family palready assed away . Thx for this tears i have now. God bless ur family and ur life.

I'm happy when Ed is happy, love the energy!❤️🤍

Ed, your story is almost similar to mine. You're an inspiration to so many but especially to fellow Armenians because there aren't many Armenian content creators doing tech stuff on KZread. Hopefully one day our paths cross around the valley so I can shake your hand.

Your channel was the first one I stumbled upon when I began my PC building journey back in 2015?. Seeing all the setups that you have featured and built as well has been really fun and inspiring and it's been a rabbit hole from there. I'm sure your family are proud of what you have built and accomplished. Keep on keeping on, brother.

ive never had dad issues but ive felt very similar pain ed we love your content and you thanks for the dark times youve gotten us through.

I wonder if your dad is one of your subscriber?

Love this side of you Ed. Looking forward for the future of the channel.

Thank you for sharing with us. I think it's awesome that you found a positive outcome having gone through such a harsh ordeal. Bless you and your family.

This went from "yaayy another PC Build" to one of the most heart-warming, eye-wetting stories i have ever experienced. I do relate with how this would feel and it got me sobbing like a baby once again having flashbacks of such memories. It really a heart melting moment. We really appreciate you Edgar. We do love everything that you do, and I am happy to support by watching your videos

So sorry to hear man. Your story is heart breaking. I am very happy to see how far you've come and you can be proud of yourself. You an awesome content creator and human being and what an awesome PC. You've inspired me to try build my own. I've been working for the past couple months and saving to try build my first budget build. Thank you for being awesome. Stay strong brother ❤

Literally the same as me ed. Was always a big fan of the channel but now knowing we share almost the same life story you got my respect and a brother like feeling. Glad you made it and got your family to a better place hoping I can do the same to my mom and my siblings. Just finished college and started to help my family out a bit, not much for now but I’m sure I’ll get there.

Man... love the personal touch. Really appreciate you sharing your roots. Much love my friend ✊️❤️

Thank you that you showed us your story. Its so emotional

Thank you for your transparency and willingness to share your powerful story. You are an inspiration to many. Keep up the great videos and doing good in the world!

Thanks for sharing this with us I really enjoyed listening to your story. Keep up the great videos!

your mom seems like an incredible person, and she did an amazing job raising such an incredible son, all the support to you, your mother, brother and sister

Bruh! I don't need to cry while watching a PC building video!!! Thanks for sharing. I really do hope you get to meet you father one day.

I just recently started watching your KZread channel, and this episode hit deep. I'm glad to know the motivation that keeps you going. You will turn out to be a super dad for sure! And your siblings and mom are blessed to have you. ❤ 🫡

Massive respect for talking about your past openly and being vulnerable, and nothing but love and respect for your mom for doing all that she did for you guys and to you for working so hard to better your family’s situation, you’re a inspiration and example what hard work and a good ethic can get you.

I've been watching since the first big red build, beyond a pleasure seeing do something you love and progressed so far since then. I remember coming home from school watching your stuff and dreaming of my own build. 9 years later ive built several of my own and work with tech in a professional capacity. Never thought it would be possible for my stoopid ass but your videos have kept the dream alive. You're an inspiration to us all man. ❤

You are a great man Edgar! You are amazing. I've been watching your videos and content for 2 years now and I know that everything you do is done with love for your family. I admire you a lot. Thanks for sharing this with us. A big hug from Guatemala for you. ❤

thanks for sharing, very cool to learn more about who you are as a person! Love your story!

I recently discovered your channel , and i have to say its one of best channels i watch. Love that you are honest and care about your viewers. Love from Sweden

Wish you the best luck, i am deeply sorry for your childhood but even that you kept going forward without giving up. I wish you everlasting happiness, sucess and peacefull life ahead

mann !!!!! this channel now motivates me to become a better version of myself. thanks edgar your story helps me to know what person i should be when i grow up and pass my college. work my ass off and keeep my family happy !!!!!!!!!! THANKS EDGAR

Your content is the best, bro. Thanks for sharing your personal stories.

Thank you for sharing your story bro. My mum, little sis and myself went through the same, 18 years now, so I understand. Bless you ♥

Thanks for sharing your story brother. I’m glad you are doing amazing nowadays. We love you!!❤️❤️

thank you ed for sharing such a vulnerable look into your life / past. you should be so proud and i know your mom is buddy! you have done so much for so many people . as always banging video and you are amazing!

Thank you for sharing your experience and thank you for your videos

Man this video had me 😢! I semi relate to your situation as my parents came to this country with nothing and worked their tails off to make sure we had everything we needed. They struggled a lot working at a factory with not so favorable working conditions for over 38 years. I just lost my dad a few weeks ago and appreciate now more than ever the sacrifices they made not only for themselves but for their kids! You should be proud of your mom and how well she raised you brotha! Make sure you tell her as often as you can, how much you appreciate those sacrifices she made for her children! Keep up the great work on this channel, I enjoy every video you have put out! Actually just finished purchasing most of my custom pc parts and a lot of the parts I purchased were recommendations you made! I appreciate all the time in effort you put into this!

Ed, wow. We all appreciate the story you shared. It's been a pleasure watching you for many many years, you're a huge inspiration to everyone. Please never stop being you, you're incredible

Thank you for opening up and sharing your story with us we appreciate you 🙏

Thanks for sharing Ed! Sending you love from Norway

Big fan. For years now. Keep it going!

You deserve everything that you have right now and what's to come in the future, Edgar. Your mom is very proud of you. I'm sure of that! Always keep the faith and never stop what you're doing. I may not be able to watch all of your videos, but I'm here, including every single one of your subscribers to support you! 💯

Thanks for so personal content it’s really nice for me! Be proud of your mom. 😀

Really great hearing your story, Edgar. The community you've created and grown is one of he best I've been a part of! Keep doing awesome bro 🤜

One of the best videos i watched since i came across your channel

I'm sorry for what has happened to you and what you've gone through all these years. I've been around here for about a year and enjoying your PC builds but little did I know about your background and I can totally feel you. I'm happy for you.. now your daughters have a very supportive and Great Father. I'm very proud of you! ❤ Idk if I should also share this but I have been planning on getting my first every PC(Laptop) since 2014 and I'm still hoping I'd get one on one fine day. I can't dream of PCs in my situation but enjoy your videos on building them. Thank you for always sharing your captivating content.. ❤

Hat's off to you bro, you faced a lot in life, fought the odds and came up in life! Kudos for that. Love and respect from India I'm your old subscriber!

Got yourself another subscriber. I know I’m a no body but for a man to open up like you did I just really respect you for that and had a very common child hood just both my parents were like your father. Keep being real brother!

It feels like I know you alot more now hearing about your childhood. I am so sorry you all had to go through that. Noone deserves that. Lots of love for you ED. Really proud of you and your family ❤️

Man, your story is inspiring! Salute to your Mom. Love your contents, bro. I was just curious of the title of the video but never thought we'd go deep into your past. So proud of you and your Mom!

Very touching, thanks for sharing your story, i found your channel 2 years ago and have loved every video too. though my step dad was a bad person, my mother has helped me and my sister get through my life, unfortunatly she died last summer from breast cancer, and your story made me emotional knowing other people could have struggles just like mine. Thank you and much love ❤️ ❤

Very touching story, I just recently found your channel and been watching a lot of your videos. After my first build around a year and a half ago I’ve been so hooked on all things pc related, your videos are so good. Thank you for sharing your story with us bro

Very touching story, regarding your childhood. Luckily you’re doing a lot better now and you can support your mother, your wife and your daughters. I’m fairly new here but it’s rare to see someone share memories from their childhood. Keep up the good work 🙌🏽 I didn’t even know, that you had a giveaway going on but I’m not on IG a lot

Thanks Ed for sharing this with us. Been watching for a long time and I appreciate your content and you as a person. You got me into cable management, into organizing my space well and making sick builds. Thanks for the amazing content as always and hope things continue to get better for you and your family, especially your mom too. Much love.

damn .. seeing a jolly and a happy go lucky ed cry like that made me cry as well..its true that when you talk about your moms sacrifices and struggles just to give you food on your table will make you cry no matter how tough you are... i cried because i can relate your story man :( i grew up without a father .. i can say he is a pile of crap as well for cheating on my mother and for abandoning us.. this is the first time seeing you lkke this man and it made me emotional..as a subcriber since 2017 and the person responsible why i built my own PC i think its time that we get to know you more brother.. more videos like this please. happy to see what you have become despite of what you have going through.. youre such an inspriration..

Powerful story mate, and sorry to hear about the struggle for you and the fam in the early years. However, someone like that wouldn't be a good and healhty influence for your fam as well as yourself. You did good, but I do get the questions that it raises on your end. Some people aren't worthy parents. Taking this experience and doing better yourself is (in my opinion) the only good way to go. Kudos! Thanks for sharing!

I love these we need more of these i respect the effort and the great videos you make

Thanks for sharing the story i started watching your channel this year and I don’t regret it keep it up ❤️❤️

The video had lovely juxtaposition with you sharing about your dad and your lack of relationship there... but then seeing your daughter come into the room and how you interact with her. Big props on becoming the father that yours should have been ❤

Damn dude. Mad respect to you! They say the best revenge is living well. Also learning to laugh about trauma always helps. In spite of all that, you've managed to provide for your family. Have a beautiful wife and two beautiful children. Congrats to you, and enjoy life without that burden hanging over your head any longer. Cheers!

Thank you for sharing the story my man, it always empowers me as an individual to come across such people like yourself who build themselves from the ground up. This wasn't just a video. This was cinema. Much love Ed

i salute you sir for having the courage to talk about your life (childhood) in your tech channel. im just new here and find all your content so enjoyable. Thank you for having this kind of talk it really hit home.

Loved this video. It is very hard to have the courage to share these things and I’m sure I can stand for many of your supporters saying we are open and wanting to here and are here to help. Maybe not directly but just by having someone to talk to free of judgement. I remember watching your videos as a young kid and it has been amazing to watch you grow and always give such great and heart filled content. Love you bro!!!

Thanks for sharing man. I too was raised by a single mother and had a very absent father. It’s hard for young people to understand the struggles our parents go through, and we can only really appreciate the sacrifices they made much later in life. It’s cool to see we have something in common, and that you’ve have found success despite the struggle from your childhood. Good on ya Ed! Your mom is proud

Appreciate you opening up to us all. Takes a lot of guts to open up to the world and show people yourself in a vulnerable state

Thank you so much for sharing, you are setting the bar hire. Just so awesome and amazing you sharing! You have a beautiful family and I'm sure a great father. So awesome!, Great build, great video.

I found your channel a couple months ago and Its amazing! Thanks these videos.

I don't live with my parents but I'm glad to know they love me and I cherish my time with them every time I get the chance 😢😊. I'm sure you love your parents 😊

You deserve everything that you have earned in life and I know you will continue on to do greater things you want to accomplish. You're a truly inspiring person that I personally look up to as a man, husband and father. Don't forget that you are worthy and matter and hope you find more healing and reconciliation in relationships and in everything you've been through. You doing so good, you got this big bro. Thank you 💯

Wow, that went in a different direction than what I was expecting. Thanks for sharing.

love your story brother. You are the american dream and I love hearing these things. THank you for sharing personal moments and keep kicking ass! You, your wife and your daughters deserve EVERYTHING that you have coming. Thank you. Sometimes knowing a crappy father is better than not having a father at all and wondering. Also, as you mentioned, makes you a much better father. Thanks for what you do. I still don't have the guts to submit for set up wars, or build my own PC. But your channel is the inspiration for my office and basement/mancae/gaming room. hope it's ok to say all this.

To think I’ve been subscribed since 2016 on my old account and 2018 on this one and hearing his back story he has the best will power to keep pushing forward no matter what

So refreshing to hear what all it takes for a content creator to get where they want to be. We see the end where everything looks perfect from the outside, but we forget what all we must overcome in our lives. Personally I feel that we need this kind of content to remind us to not give up when times are hard, but to focus on where we want to be. Thank you for opening up and giving us a fresh take on content creation.

Ed I love the content you produce and everything you show us. I appreciate you sharing your life with all of us and respect you so much for taking care of your family and being the great person that you are. Your such a great example of making your own way and working towards your goals and your family's. Thank you.

My father was also out of my life - glad you still came out on top Mr. Edgar! Beautiful family many blessing!

Keep going Ed. Your story is so inspirational. Love from the Philippines. ❤
