PC Rig Comparison Thread

Yes, I tried reusing them, but they were really bumpy and partly lost their shape. I think it might be possible if you are extremely careful and lucky, although I tried to be careful and it didn't work.

And damn, 15€ is like a third of what it costs on amazon now.

Nice, now I can get egoboosts in CPM again
Also OT: went back to the

Just you wai't. I will get huge train and make lots of ninja rails and damagé!

Also OT: What is with the steelseries logo? I saw those remade wmos on e-bay and wondered if they used some steelseries parts or whether they somehow sponsored it or if it's just there to confuse people.

I honestly haven't got a clue. I got mine from eBay and as far as I can tell, it's just a stock wmo with a paint job (though the cable is a bit shorter than I remember from my old wmo). Maybe takasta (the eBay wmo/ime guy) has some kind of sponsorship thing going on with SS?

Took pictures for other uses so might as well up one here for better quality. These default keycaps are pretty bad.

A kings background?

I like them.

Took these pics with my galaxy s4 so they may be a bit average. Anyway here's my personal setup.
Specs are:
Desktop:
AMD FX 8320 3.5ghz 8 core
12GB RAM
2x 1TB HDD's
ASROCK 970 Pro3 r2.0
Sapphire AMD R9 270x Toxic Edition
Corsair H50 liquid cooler (Closed loop)

Laptop: Asus ROG g74sx
Nvidia gtx 560m
16gb RAM
2x 720gb HDD
Core i7 (Dont remember model atm)

Do you actually like those LEDs or did you buy those particular illuminated parts because they were cheap?

I originally got this case from a friend who was upgrading a long time ago. The fans just happened to be included. I've been thinking of upgrading the fans to something more quiet like some noctua ones but at $30 each they're too damn expensive.

OMFG there are cabels everywhere

Ah yeah I finally replaced the old secondary 17" and 19" 4:3 screens with matching 21,5" 1080p screens:


before I'd have argued the difference would not be that big, but it turns out having matching screens is quite a difference, not only for a few games, but only i.e. when you move notepad++ to the side: it won't suddenly have a ton more linebreaks.

What is your central screen? Almost looks 16:10 but I guess that could be because of the bigger bezel. Did you go for 21.5 instead of something like a 24 for cost or because of table space? Or perhaps because then they would be larger than the central monitor? Just curious about your thinking as it may aid me in my own thinking for a future setup.

EVE player I see - I bet your spreadsheets look so much better on those

Only started playing eve a few weeks ago. And yes those spreadsheets look so damn good when I can place them on all 3 screens

They are all 21,5 1080p
I got the 21,5 a few years ago as my first 1080p screen and had old 4:3 screens next to it for a while. 21,5 simply because I like the size, bigger without more resolution imho doesn't actually help since you don't actually get more space if you have the same resolution and I sit rather close to the screens anyway. And much bigger would simply not fit on my desk. 21,5 looks like the limit.
The news ones are 21,5 to match the central one as closely as possible. Though there is a difference between the middle one and the secondaries: The middle is a fast 2ms tn panel. The secondaries are 5ms IPS panels. I think the better view angle of IPS matters more for the secondaries, since they aren't exactly in front of me.

Thanks for taking the time to answer. Aesthetically your current setup looks nice and symmetrical but I'd be tempted to put an IPS directly in-front for your main screen as IPS screens are so much nicer. The TN would still be angled to face you so the angle in theory should not be a major problem. Regardless, it is a really nice setup which I hope to somewhat emulate one day

Just got a 512GB Crucial MX100 SSD, very happy with it. Very unhappy with MS, won't let me reinstall Windows to the drive without calling their support channel. Bliddy hell.

I mean I could hack it across, but that involves booting into Linux or another Windows-based HDD.

RIP the rest of your gaming life

Played EVE for 10 months, didn't use a single spreadsheet

Yeah writing my own programs to do analysis is better anyway. It does print out a simple table with stuff though.
