I want your keyboard mat.

that Nike Box monitor stand is great! But your little mouse looks a bit out of space there...

Is there a reason you're buying a new power supply? That CX500 will be capable enough for the hardware that you listed.

Thanks dude, to be honest the S340 case should take most of the credit here, it's so easy for even someone so horrendously inpatient as me to make a build look nice :)

Can you read the code from where you sit? I have 27" 1080p monitor and I sit 1 meter away. can barely see the text.

Yes no problem reading text, my eyes are ~65..70cm from the display. The big monitor is 40" 3840x2160 the small one is 24"

Greetings, liking this community a lot, enjoying the youtube channel as well. I'm a huge resolution junkie, so i decided to take part in the battlestation sharing movement :) This is my setup with the much hated Philips 4k :) I'm very happy that i'm not the only one with the 4k+40" mania :)

  • i7 4790K 4,5GHz + Be Quiet Dark Rock 3
  • MSI Z97 Gaming 5
  • Corsair Vengeance Pro Red Kit 2x8GB 2400MHz
  • 2x MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G OC (1480-ish on the core clock, 7,7GHz on the memory clock)
  • Corsair AX860 with Corsair sleeved cables
  • Corsair Obsidian 750D with NZXT white led stripes and 3x Be Quiet Silent Wings 2 fans
  • Samsung 840 EVO 500GB + WD Scorpio Blue 2,5" 1TB, because removed HDD cage keeps me calm
  • Corsair K70 Cherry MX Red
  • Razer Imperator (from 2010) + Steelseries QCK
  • Thonet&Vander Turm active speakers (i hate headphones)

Planned upgrades: 850 EVO 500GB for moar games, Mionix Castor + Sargas 900, a big maybe for an H110i GT, i'm happy with my air cooling, but it keeps things cooler, MSI Gaming SLI-bridge for homogenic appearance, the new high airflow front panel released for the 750D, and maybe a pretty microphone, because the current one is a junk, but i don't use it a lot so i basically don't care.



Uhoh, i got a longer dp1.2 cable since i took this photo :)

Nice room there, I like the wood setup.

This setup tickles my bottom nicely

Thumbs up

Love that Corsair case, one of the best out there. Nice simple and clean setup. Also really love the way that window looks.

Here we go. My humble battle station in my mancave:


The battlestation


Network substation for the battlestation


The Ol'one; oldie but goodie =)

Edit: Just realized that you were not asking me. XP

Center is an Asus MX279H

Auxiliary monitors are Acer V196WL

At some point I'll upgrade the center monitor to a 1440p with a landscape screen height that will mate well with the portrait height of the auxiliary monitors.

I'm curious about the 'bequiet!' cpu cooler. How did the installation go? I've heard that it is a pain to install.

Nice looking setup.

Thx :) It was not as easy as a Noctua, but it wasn't difficult, no problems whatsoever.

I need one of those JD mouse pads, where did you/she find that?

I work in a bar and that is just a "bar runner" . A quick ebay search or your favorite liquor plus "bar runner" should find them. Hope that helps.

My current work are without my desktop due to waiting on a CPU. Yes I share my computer area with the girlfriend a 5 year old and a 2 year old. And yes all the computers here are owned by myself and there are 3 other laptops missing from the photo.

This is how the room looks when the kids play for a day.
