the tiny desk is pretty comfy.

I'm still heating my room with my computer since its still cold here even though it shouldnt be.

I leave for basic in just under a month though.

why are you using PLP instead of LPP?
you could drag windows between the portrait monitors easily if they were next to each other

>>45655764

somebody loves the nu gundam lol

>>45655749

Thanks anon. Desk is a cheap Whalen Cooper desk I got off Amazon. It's OK and serves its purpose, but to be honest I don't really like it all that much - it's not very well put together and the veneer is literally paper-thin. It's a knockoff of the Clybourn Desk, but that desk retails for $2500, which is more than I'm willing to spend on a desk for the time being.

>>45655626
I like it a lot, I think you should get a pair of bookshelf speakers and another monitor though.

>>45655788
Nu Gundam is best gundam.

Post the costs of your setups and how long it took you to acrue all of the finery.

im curious as to the cost of some of these higher end set ups.

>>45655795

Another monitor will be added at some point (used to have 2 4x3 monitors, but haven't bothered using them since making the switch to widescreen a little over a year ago).

Don't do most of my listening in this room, though, so probably won't go for great speakers anytime soon. Might get a nicer pair of PC speakers than these logitechs, though.

>>45655746 Thanks! I was thinking about buying myself a new case, but in the end I determined it would be a waste considering this Asus case is still fully functional and has some nostalgia to it.
>>45655749
>Weird tables. Alright? I was thinking the same about all of the "weird", little desks scattered all over the internet for sale and figured I'd save time and money picking up a few 5ft tables.
You're right though, I need to work on placement. but than again, I don't care.
>>45655763 Keep telling yourself that, it look's pretty bad man.
>>45655764 I approve, look's thought-out, like you put effort and a bit of intellect into it. :) Nice work!

>>45655704
Minimalist. I agree with >>45655762 - will look better (and probably feel better too) with the PC off the desk.

>>45655759
The railing on the edge of the desk is throwing me off for some reason.

>>45655764
Not a big fan of oak desks in general, but I do like this. Probably the coziest setup so in this thread so far.

>>45655813
OP here. I've gone through lots of changes throughout the years but the total cost of it all at this point is around $3500. I'm only counting my desk here.

>>45655828
I'm talking about some cheap $40 Daytons or something.

>>45655813

For this:>>45655626

3 short bookshelves: $60 (an additional $20 went into them two days ago to fix the sagging shelves)
Corner Light: $40
Lounge Chair: $300
Desk: $150
Task Chair: $180
Tall bookshelves: Dunno, had them for a decade or so.
Fan: $30
Keyboard: $75
Mouse: $25
Speakers: $40
Monitor: $180
Artwork: $200 (estimate of prints and frames; don't remember for sure)

Flooring had some cost too, but did that along with the rest of the house (same for painting and blinds)

Books also had a cost, but fuck if I'm going to figure that out. Probably $4-5k or so over the years.

Two computers probably have around $1500 or so of parts in them.

Router was $75ish, same for cable modem.

I think that covers most of the shit there.

>>45655920
Dude you paid too much for those prints.

>>45655936

They're signed, and to be honest more money probably went into the frames. Like I said, these are estimates. Could be off.

>>45655962
I can remove them easily but there would be holes on the desk then

>>45655958
Ah okay. So they are a limited run of prints. Still, for offset prints that's pretty pricey.

>>45655938

Seems kind of cluttered. Could well be the cables.

Thanks, but this is actually old and out dated.

I actually have this popular build now. But ATX was all wasted space for me. If you go m-ITX, buy a good board, get a good case to hold your drives, and you'll be fine. Need a "sound card?" Just get a USB DAC/Amp. Most things people "need" internally can be solved over USB easily.

>>45656006

I'm worried about wall reflection, when my speakers will be angled. So I shouldn't have much.

What case is that, and is it supposed to have a side (there are USB and audio outputs and a power button on the side that is exposed)/what's going on/etc?

>>45656014

I ment more like a keyboard, bluetooth USB hub, something that turns it into a UMPC would be the best.

>>45656182
See below.

>>45656134
It's actually very cool, with the right components. Like a blower style GPU. A PSU with extra wattage so it runs cool and the fan can exhaust ambient air comfortably. A 92mm exhaust, a 120mm intake. Temps are as follows:

>CPU idle ~30-33°C, around 45°C-55°C depending on game, after 15 minutes.
>GPU idle ~40°C, load in games is around 50-60°C
>SSD stays between 19-23°C
>Board ~28-33°C

Good case. Worth every penny. Just use a modular PSU, do a nice job on the cables. And buy parts that work for it. Also, extra wide GPU's (like STRIX, or most ASUS DCU II cards won't allow the glass to close.)

>>45656154
Not bad. Not super quiet either. Depends on your fans. Mine isn't overly loud. But something like my old 550D was definitely quieter. I'm using a Corsair AX760 PSU, EVGA GTX 670 4GB (definitely the loudest part, with coil whine), a Silenx Effizio 12-15 (120mm) intake, and two Silenx Effizio 09-15's (92mm), one as exhaust and one on my NH-L9i heatsink. I'd rate the quiet factor a solid 7.5/10 with my set up. Not bad, could be better with a silence optimized case.

There's a deeper meaning than that to why people post on these threads, it has to do with belonging and acceptance... also you're correct, validation, even I feel better after being complimented on my cool case, or my monitors. it's natural.

It's not about you being poor, it's about the arrangement and the prioritization of your gear. Setting a decent PC on a shitbox desk in a shitbox room in a shitbox house with a bunch of shitbox peripherals isn't going to impress anyone, it just looks like you're trying to appease some /g/ god or something

and you all use the same exact shit.. monitor/bookshelf speakers, those fucking $100 keyboards with the numpad chopped off because you're too stupid to recognize that those were originally all sold via viral marketing and you skimped on your rig just to get some clickyclicky even though you type slow as shit anyway, shitty "gaming" gear and LEDs everywhere lmao

What improvements would you recommend, anon? ( >>45655626 )

>>45659961
Now that is a sexy keyboard, what is it?

>>45661751
- Your wall art could use some work. The size, location, and arrangement of your art put too much focus on the computer desk and monitor and make the room feel a off-balance.
- Those speakers look low-quality and they're really ugly.
- The blue LED casefan in the 1337Gam3rCase is atrocious.
- What's up with that thing in the back-left corner with the single bottle on it?
- Bigger and better desk in my opinion
- Could replace that (reading?) chair in the back with a nice comfy couch and make the room feel less congested and more cozy at the same time

>>45661615

Other components were paid by my parents over the course of several years, this generally includes stuff I can justify needing; like mice, keyboards and the PC itself.

>>45661801
Good ideas for the most part. Agreed on the speakers, desk, and case fan.

The chair though is too comfy to get rid of, and there's not room for a couch anyways (the back wall had a big sliding closet door on it). The corner bottle is a bottle of scotch; there's two glasses there as well, but they're obscured by the chair.

Definitely need to play with artwork spacing, though I'll probably hold back on that until I have a new desk.

Thanks for the thoughts/advice.

Big screen is a projector shooting onto a fixed screen.

I put it together over time..it has gone through a few rebuilds/upgrades. Spent probably about 6-8k over it's many lives. That includes desk and shit,which was spendy by itself..it is Anthro. Currently everything seen in the posted pic has been upgraded..only things the same is my desk and chair some of the peripherals and main PC case which I am actually shopping around for a new one currently. Since that pic was taken I have rebuilt the pc, all new monitors..3 Asus 24inch 144hz, new Projector(deciding on new screen for it as well currently),kb/ms..etc etc.

Jokes aside its only temporary solution, smaller fan replaced original cpu fan now cooling the gpu and bigger fan is now new cpu/case fan. An its still going to get its power from (broken) standalone socket. As soon as I finish that project I will post my built log here in /g/

Backtrack is not a OS to use like a normal OS. It's designed for pentesters, not normal users.
If you aren't a pentester, you should look for distros like Fedora, Ubuntu and shit.

>Actually caring about someones number score.
My sides.
It's not about what your machine is sitting on, or the neatness of your desk. The only thing that matters is what you fucking do with the hardware that actually matters.
Sorry, just woke up, I can't think straight, also hung-over.

This was actually taken the day after we moved into our new house, so I hadn't taken the time to tidy them up since I still wasn't sure if u was going to keep it that way. The area looks much better now, bar some Wii u cables I don't tie up because I move it between the desk and a TV in my bedroom.
>>45665189
The desk is just the one in the picture, except we got two of them at the time for about 70 each. It's a great desk, and the only complaint I had was that I received it and it was a tad scratched on one of the corners. May repaint it if I find the time one weekend.

Even though this room has decent lighting I still have to bump the ISO, so it's not as clear as I'd like it

How can all of you have the monitor that low?
Its supposed to be in front of your eyes not your chest
Also, nothing to put your feet on behind the table
Seriously
