I wanna see your rigs and desks! :OWgrinsgasm:

I always love these threads even if we've had them before because I'm constantly upgrading my setup. Here's the latest! Main gaming rig is on the left, craptop and secondary (streaming/rendering) rig are on the right.

That's one cool looking setup m3ss!

how much does a desk like that (with those rigs) cost? it is somewhere between 3000 usd or more ? This is a sirious question so i expect real answers. ty

All told there is definitely $3000+ worth of equipment / furniture there, but much of it I bought over the past several years or at a significant discount. I was able to get several of the higher priced components on sale (Black Friday deals ftw) or from online friends for very cheap. I bought the motherboard, CPU, RAM, and SDD from a former Battlefield teammate for less than half what they all cost retail, and he also sold me the center 27" monitor for less than half. Below is a breakdown of what's in the main rig and what each piece would typically cost retail.

Case: Cooler Master Elite 431+ ($55)
CPU: i7-3770K ($350)
CPU Cooler: Corsair H55 Hydro ($60)
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V PRO ($425)
RAM: 8GB G.SKILL Ripjaws ($60)
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 680 ($240)
SSD: OCZ Agility 3 240GB ($230)
HDD1: Seagate Barracuda 1TB ($50)
PSU: EVGA 600B ($60)
Mouse: Steelseries Rival ($60)
Mousepad: SteelSeries QcK+ ($18)
Keyboard: Logitech G710+ ($100)
Headphones: HyperX Cloud II ($100)
Microphone: Audio-Technica AT2035 ($150)
Mic Stand: NEEWER Suspension Boom Arm ($20)
Mixer: Behringer Q802USB 8-Channel ($80)
Webcam: Logitech C920 1080p ($80)
Monitor1: ASUS VG278HE 27" 144Hz ($375)
Monitor2/3: ViewSonic VX2268wm 22" 120Hz @ 1680x1050 ($150 x2)

~$2813 total

The desk I bought on sale at Office Max, the craptop is a free hand-me-down from my dad (dude, it's a Dell) and the 120Hz monitor for my second rig was a Christmas gift. Most of the second rig is built from leftover components I kept after upgrading as well. I've definitely spent a significant amount on this setup myself, but I've also been working on it since I moved into this house ~6 years ago.

Now if you want to see what a real baller setup looks like, check out Hiko's streaming setup in the pictures below. The monitors and monitor stand alone are probably worth more than my entire setup.

Wow! After seeing some of your setups, I won't even post mine. You would die laughing at it. :lol:

If I ever get a halfway decent job, I will upgrade everything from PC to desk.

Very nice stuff, m3ss!

by **m3ss** » Sat Apr 25, 2015 9:39 pm

@reflex: Mmmmmm, jalapeno chips. I see you're also a fan of clear desks.

@blackout: Mini-fridge ftw! I need one! I also like the speaker stands on the edge of your desk. Nice touch!

@blade: No worries man, it all has to start somewhere! I remember rockin' the thirty pound Dell CRT running on a potato PC with a $10 microsoft intellimouse. :lol:

@aby0u: What a clean looking setup! Really nice! I could never go all white because it would constantly be dirty.

@uenz: Is that an ottoman under your desk? You filthy casual. :mrgreen:

@Hermione: Bahahaha! Human ingenuity at it's finest! :lol:

Wow I'm in love with abyzou's setup

I also like the idea of having a pouf like uenz instead of a desk chair!

I bought a new computer about a month ago:

CPU: I5 4440 3.1ghz,
GFX: Nvidia gtx 750 TI 2gb,
RAM: 8gb ddr3,
WD 1TB 7200rpm + Seagate 1TB external + another Seagate 500gb external

Monitor:
Acer S240HLBID 24-inch Monitor 16:9 FHD LED 5 ms 100M:1 A DVI w/HDCP HDMI Acer EcoDisplay

Mouse:
An old microsoft comfort 3000

It was a huge upgrade from a 10 year old computer, it was like driving an old van, then getting into a Ferrari :mrgreen:

Just an example:
OLD pC: UT99 face ~90 fps 800x640 everything low
NEw PC: UT99 face ~1700fps 1920x1080 high settings(Limiter off)

Can't really get a good pic, just moved house everything i in the way stll.

I'll update this thread in a month after I move to my new place. Current apartment is a bit cramped and it doesn't do my setup justice.
