Was actually quite impressed right now when i popped open the system information. 8 gigs of ram, i5-6500 quad core. I complained one day over a year ago about blue screen of death and the next day I came in and found this. I was using a 13 year old all-in-one with an intel core duo and 2 gigs of ram.

A new build for the wife and I. I also dislike Windows like NYR99, but not enough to pay the difference for a Mac Pro and a Mac Mini. Sticking to a MacBook Pro for laptops though...

AMD Ryzen 3950x and 3600
Msi Gaming X Trio RTX 2080Ti and GT 1030
64GB and 16GB DDR4
2 x Dell 38" 1600p and 1 x 32" LG 1440p

Far right (top as it’s displayed) is an ESXi server. Middle is team render for C4D and left is for spare parts. They cost me £50 each for dual 8-core Xeon E5s. The only problem is the noise. I need to relocate them.

I just built the gaming PC as the 2011 iMac's GPU won't play the latest games ;)

Am I crazy for thinking about replacing this with an iPP? Haha.


I change my up peripherals a lot out of boredom, mainly mice. Have kept this keyboard for a while (by CODE) really like the MX Clears, so just changed caps. Would like a 60% but would miss the numpad.

Very happy with them, I had a Klipsch sub paired with them originally, but got rid of it as I was happy with the bass of the BT3s and to save space.

Nice. They seem like great stuff, would love to try a set someday but I'm happy with my Bose and Paradigms atm. Having owned and heard so many others, if anything I feel like Q-Acoustics offers elegant design and integration with it's whole range above most.

They look clean as hell in general. Gotta love color choices
