Picture Of Your Setup!

OK I finally got a picture of my "setup"

If you look real close you might see family pictures behind the printer.
Also the last week's worth of snacks (2 family size boxes of chips ahoy) and a lightsaber. It's winter, so the temperature next to a sliding glass door is terrible, even with curtains.

The whole thing is adorned with cheap headphones and a passable chair i picked up from the thrift shop.

 

I have an HP laptop with 16 gigs of ram.
And that's pretty much all she wrote.

 

Alienware 13" gaming laptop
Razer Deathadder Gaming Mouse (+ Razer Kabuto mousepad ;)
Razer Tartarus (External Gaming Keypad to give me extra buttons and to keep wear off of my main keyboard)
Razer Blackshark Headset

Edit: Oh and a nail I pounded into my wall to hang my headset on! xD

"What are you talking about?! I don't have a favorite brand!" -me

Pictures! Woo!



Can you tell that I need to clean my desk?

Just gonna reserve this spot k

 

I did not know this is even a thing back in November 2016 when I ordered a custom built PC. I wish I had dual monitors, but this will have to do .. I still use my 2015 Macbook Air for email and non gaming stuff, hmm .. when am I not ever using an app that is not gaming-related xD. What you do not see are the heap of messy papers when I do quests or moderating and my snack pile that sits on a short stool by a trash can (I might update this one day).

Spoiler: My PC specs are:

MB: ASUS Z170-PRO GAMING
CPU: i5-6400

16GB RAM

On the periphery: a few external hardrives, ethernet box, USB data hub with 2 charging USB ports, Grian’s Head, & a fully stocked snack bar you don’t see.

THE TOWER (sits on ground to my right)

THE DESK

Spoiler: My desk

 

Hey, we're motherboard buddies! :D

 

Nice setup! Although it is a weird mix of high-end and budget components, and huge towers aren't really my taste. May I ask why you opted for a Z-170 motherboard? Is it for the M.2 SSD slot?
P.S.: I'm planning to custom build a new pc this year, I might do a before-after comparison to my boring old setup!

 

This my new setup.

Thank you! I'm curious, which component do you consider high-end versus the budget?
I'm not use to the huge tower case either. Even my old workplace pre-built Dell PCs were never this huge ... It is quite an adjustment from my Macbook Air laptop to the "tower". I really don't have the room for the tower under the desk, so it sits beyond the table footprint. The Asus Z170 motherboard was part of a basic package offered by CyberPowerPC during their Halloween special. I tweaked/replaced components if I had the budget for it. I'm not knowledgable about mb's. Perhaps look to reviews on MBs. However having received it, the motherboard has a versatile panel and I could connect my older Samsung monitor which needs a VGA cable, and the panel has enough USB ports and a HDMI connection. I do not know if it is necessary to have the Z170 mb to accommodate a M.2 SSD. The case design also has two extra USB ports which I attached a Bluetooth dongle for my speakers. I also added a few extras that the package did not have. A fan controller. And a slightly higher watts Pwr Supply. Although the package offered a free keyboard and wired mouse, I had a specific key type in mind & already owned a better mouse The keyboard was something that had good reviews for the past year offering nice features. I chose not to get a web cam since I'm not recording YT videos for streaming. I already had the bluetooth speakers but for gaming, I use a high audio-quality headphones with the high quality ModMic that simply adheres to the headphone and extends out like a mini boom. PCGamer has a review for it http://www.pcgamer.com/the-best-microphones-for-gaming-and-live-streaming/ I would add that Steam games take up a lot of space on the SSD, and you want the apps to load up fairly quickly. I would probably upgrade the space on the SSD if I can later on.

Hope this helps. xD

But where do you put your feet?

 

he does a split

 

I sit a little bit back with my feet facing it. I tried having the tower to the side of the desk, but having my feet on the tray at the bottom felt odd to me.

 

Wow, That's a nice high-end pc build...

I'm doing a similar build, but without overclocking the CPU and using Kaby-Lake instead. Also tiny. And already got myself an external hard drive. Thought if I share my future PC build. I probably could make it internal...

Maybe try a special stool where you are sitting and kneeling at the same time xD
