This is my set up, The desk I was given old headmasters desk from a school.
Pc set up is
22inch AOC monitor
Epson xp-405 wireless printer
Bluetooth speaker that cost me a £1from tesco sales
xbox 350 pad and chargers,Sumvision wireless keyboard with roller ball..that I love only keyboard i can use due to nerve damage in wrists (so want a roller ball mouse)

PC
Silverstone Mlo5
Silverstone sfx gold rated psu
I3 haswell
12gb of ram
40gb ssd
250hdd
XFX r7 240 2GB edtion
2xcoolermaster 80mm red led fans used as intake

*mods the motherboard is actually a matx mobo but the sound ports where dammeged so I gave it to a good friend who knows his stuff about electronics and he desorderd/removed the audio stuff and bottom pci slots so the psu you could fit in the case with out touching the mobo lol.

I also have a 7870 on the desk and a pci exstension ribbon cable so if i want to play more demanding game (very rarly) I just remove the lid of my case and slot in the 7870 and away I go

In the future I would like to replace the mobo with a itx one and a lp cooler and I would love to own a nas setup to put all my games on but I only work pat time workig with diasbled adults and children but hay hoo love the job wouldnt change it for the world.

If it wasnt for friends and family donating parts I wouldnt have my set up soits a huge thanks to them any way here it is not the best pics in the world.

Im open to critism and would like to here you input on budget nas systems and rollerball mice.

Nice. I do think that if you had a bigger case it would be a lot easier for you to expand the system though. Perhaps you could put the R7 up for sale and just use the 7870? Would probably work out a net profit (buy case/sell R7) because basic cases are really cheap.

PS - re: NAS box. I got one off ebay for about £20 if I remember right, with a 500gb hard disk. It's great for media storage and backup but I probably wouldn't want to load any games etc off it because file transfer is slow compared to SSD or even a local HDD.

I actually like the wee r7 I tend to play less demanding games like torch light 2 but I would like a bigger pc but money is tight so went with the cheaper option...90 percent of the parts where given to me the 7870 iv had since launch
