My home for the Summer

[jamesriley94]

Rearranged a few things, got a better screen than the old TV, got a proper mouse and keyboard and even mouse mat, and other than possible graphics watercooling in the distant future, this is my rig and desk complete.



Don't miss the precaution I take for having cathodes in my rig in the next picture...



And finally one from further out, with the animal that reminds me that I have to eat, not just play computers all day...and she generally does this by meowing and walking on the keyboard until she gets fed herself....

Those speakers look rather fantastic - lovely set up you've got going here.
How are you finding the keyboard?

This is what I've never understood about speakers and sound though...the audio quality is so good through them, and yet the speakers cost me £8, and the hifi / amp they're plugged into you can get for like £25 on ebay. Cant ever justify spending over £100 on speakers. Plus these look amazing

and the keyboard feels really nice actually. Not too sure why the macro keys arent mechanical though, and even more unsure why the 'delete, insert, home' etc section of the keyboard doesnt have the LEDs too, but nevermind!

Im not jealous at all :/

Really nice setup James. I love the look of the K90. I'm tempted to get one myself hearing all the good things about it.

 

[Dandaman91]

Great setup mate

Im not sure i could sit at that chair for ages, and i couldn't deal with the cat either

But if the cat reminds you to eat then it has to be a good thing

 

[wassupdoc]

meh, my cat rolls on top of my case until it bursts into flames from all the hair in it

It swings back pretty far actually so it isnt that uncomfortable.

Beggars cant be choosers though - stole this from my mums PC desk...the other option is entirely wooden which I'm sure you'd hate more.

And the cat's lovely. She's one of 3

Was wondering what case that is? Looks rather lush imo. Nice setup btw.

Cooler Master 690 II Advanced

 

[Philib]

Thats what I thought it was but cant find one with the window. Maybe I need to look harder lol.

Very good price if you ask me

 

[seumasbeathan]

^And does that work with all 690's?

 

[jamesriley94]

How do you mean?
If fits all CM 690 IIs and Centurion 5s.
I'm pretty sure it would fit the CM 690 I too as they use the same chassis, just painted differently - but don't take my word on that.
If you're asking about the one you just bought Seumas - it will fit that yes...
But it isnt available in white...
But, you could easily enough take the plastic rivets out of the window, take that out and then spray or powercoat the panel white

 

[seumasbeathan]

Yeah That's what I was thinking, gonna order one tomorrow, spraying it won't be to tricky right?

 

[jamesriley94]

Just a flat panel - should be easy enough.
May be better taking it to a car body shop though and they'll do it properly.
