Just moved in and finally got the basics setup. There's a lot I want to do with this. The desktop is in need of a major overhaul (curse my teenage self for thinking orange is a "cool" color). It's a little cramped at the moment but I just need to get a bit creative with some custom storage solutions. Monitors are all 34 inches and 3440x1440. All in all, a good start to what I hope will turn into a solid battle station. Also, glorious shag carpet.

What's wrong with orange?
Nothing overall. My teenage self was a bit of a "all of the colors" type while my twenty-two year old self is a bit more mellow now. Plus, I plan on replacing those desks in the future with a wood one and between that and the walls I just don't think a bright orange case fits in so well. That should also tell you how old that poor desktop is though.
A big solid wood desk and a single mount for those monitors would really polish everything off nicely.

You must be from the 70s.
I just helped a buddy of mine build this beautiful computer 4 month ago, and yesterday we RGB'd it.

I am just wondering where I have seen this build before......are you on Geekhack or Deskthority?
neither lol
Stupidity aside...
What is the Fractal case on the left side under the desk?
I see the fans, i see everything, i cant recognize the case...
Arc Mini? IDK... The grommeted holes above the exhaust fan are throwing me off...
Arc... something
the MATX one.
Is a custom Red Team Plus model.
ironically i didnt get an MATX ryzen system but whatever lol
The standard or the R2? R2 is the best case ever made ever... Arc Mini R2 that is... The easiest way to find out is if the front panel dust filter comes off like that:
The original one does not... R2 it does.
I'm an idiot....
If it have a window it's R2.... R1 is windowless only...
That hat is totally shopped.
