It's awesome! I love the concrete. I can skate on over to my workstation and some serious work done now.

Note: Sense this photo it also has new drives in it too.

I totally went retro and am rockin the rubbermaid table. Das rite, das how I roll!

What wires???

Holy Crap! I thought I was the only one that did that.

 

[Pako]

Holy Crap! I thought I was the only one that did that.

My back, neck, and arms are happy that I have my desk and an actual chair and table in place now. The table got me through a rough spot when we were redoing the floor, but things are put back together now. 👍

I would do it again if I had to.

Here is my PC:

Here is the specs as from Speccy:

Yes Speccy picks up the CPU as it normally is, but it is OC currently.

Most gorgeous PC design ever made in my opinion. Too bad they went to making trashcans.

Ahh! I miss my Mac Pro. It was the single processor version of yours, the thing is I stopped doing the sort of work that required such a powerful machine - I replaced it with a MacBook Air almost a year ago and haven't required anything more powerful since. I do still have my gaming PC, though, which I will show off here if I ever get around to buying a better CPU cooler. It's just embarrassing to look at the weedy stock cooler right now.

 

[rallydakar]

Glad you like you are not the kind of PC user saying Macs are for dumb people who don't know anything about PC's ... I love it and I can't wait using it with my new GPU!

 

[acascianelli]

I have a slightly upgraded HP xw6400...

Here are the specs when I first got it:

• 1x Xeon 5140 (2.33ghz, dual-core)
• 4gb PC2-5300 ECC
• Quadro FX 3500 256mb (non-SLI)
• 2x Hitachi 160gb

Current Specs:

• 2x Xeon 5160 (3.0ghz, dual-core)
• 8gb PC2-5300 ECC
• Radeon HD 6850 2gb
• Sandisk 128gb SSD
• Seagate 400gb HDD

...I've been considering replacing it with a AMD FX combo, but I just can't justify it because this system is still performing great considering it's age.

It will heat the room when gaming however.

I just built it. Its nothing fancy. I do plan on getting a R9 285 and a Cool Master Nepton 120XL or a Cool Master Evo 212 soon so I can live with integrated graphics, its enough to play new games at 720P.
Specs
A8 6600K w/Radeon 8570k
8GB ram overclocked to 2133mhz.
Gigabyte F2A78M-D3H motherboard
Fractual Design integra 650 watt PSU
Corsair 200R

I have a PC inside a G5 case (a common mod) and it is indeed one of the most beautiful and well built cases ever made. The new (new) Mac Pro is cool but in a very different way and it doesn't really have presence.

Funnily enough the design for the G5 case was inspired by perforated trash cans! So they have come full circle!

 

[Kitten]

My gaming PC I built this summer:

i5-4670K Haswell
MSI Z87-G45 motherboard
8 GB (2X4) Corsair Vengeance RAM
Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus CPU cooler
MSI GTX-760 graphics card
Western Digital 1 TB hard drive
Lite On optical drive
Seasonic 650 watt power supply
Corsair 500R case

I use the same case the Corsair 500R, in Frosty White. no regrets. i love it.

 

[JerseyDriverSS]

I believe I'm done for a while. Ugraded the mobo and cpu today.

I7-4790k, msi z97-g45, 8gb Kingston hyper x ddr3 ram, capstone 650w gold psu, rosewill redbone case. Windows 8.1. Now to test it out.

 

[Anomaly]

I see my picture of the abacus was removed... Are the mods really that tight-assed around here?

 

[TB]

Yes. Yes I am.

Here's my desk setup, I don't really have any pictures of the tower, but it's a very unassuming ASUS box.

why do you need so many screens?
Also be careful as the left one is about to fall off the desk

 

[Davidies]

Gaming, coding, image work...

There could be a number of reasons. I only have one screen, so I wouldn't know all the uses.

 

[BobK]

why do you need so many screens?

Given that I use twelve virtual desktops on my linux box, I can easily see the usefulness of three physical monitors.

Gaming mainly, feels really immersive having the full fov. I also do image work and sometimes I watch videos on one screen whilst browsing on another. It's definitely worth it.

 

[HuskyGT]

I have a custom HP Envy 700-074. Nothing really special, but it gets the job done.

-Intel i5 4430 quad core @ 3.0Ghz (can be OC to 3.2 if necessary)
-12Gb system memory
-Nvidia GeForce GTX 750Ti 2GB (bought this last December)

Enough to play Skyrim at Ultra @ 60+ fps with HD textures, particles and enhanced lighting mods.

 

[Terronium-12]

I just realized I haven't posted my current build.... which needs to be fixed.

I'll be upgrading again soon enough but I doubt I'll be changing much more than the video cards and throwing another SSD in, and maybe some new fans.

And maybe another 1TB HDD (or two).
And maybe some new RAM.
And maybe a new PSU.
And maybe expanding my cooling loop.

My PC Setup:

PC itself is a relatively basic build. Gigabyte G1 Sniper Z87 motherboard, Intel Core i5 4670K cpu, 8 Gb RAM, 250 Gb Samsung 840 Evo SSD, EVGA GTX 780 FTW graphics card. Single card runs my triple 1080p monitors OK in Assetto Corsa which as you can tell by the rest of the set up is it's main purpose. I did however just buy an Xbox 360 controller so I can play some non racing games as well.

Here is the view through the side window when I first built it - since then there has been a graphics card added obviously, and I changed the Corsair logo colour to green to match the motherboard:

 

[Leicht]

My main PC is the first generation (Mid-2012) Retina Macbook Pro running OS X Mavericks. I bought it used around 6 months after it was released and paid a good price for the base unit but with 16GB RAM. The rest of the specs: i7-3615QM (2.3 GHz, 4 cores), 256GB SSD, Nvidia GT650M and a HiDPI display (2880 x 1800). I'm running with the scaled desktop of 1920 x 1200.

Now almost two years later, it still feels fairly fast for what I do: running DAWs like Ableton Live and Logic Pro X or graphics apps like Ai, Ps and Sketch 3. The battery especially has been nothing short of amazing. The battery health is still at 94% and I'm still getting 5 to 7 hours (depending on the workload).

With that said I'm pretty sure with Yosemite (the next iteration of OS X) with its heavy use of transparency will chew the battery more than Mavericks (although there will be an option to reduce the transparency effect).

What programme/app did you use for the battery information?

i like this. nice.

i do mostly car racing myself and currently run a ps3. but im desperate to have a pc now so i can go to the next level with my F1 rig and t500rs wheel combo.

im not very tech headed and outside of the realms of using paint shop and word, im uslesss with a computer.
i want triple screens. do i need to use eyefinity hardware for that.. or does your graphics card take care of that..?
sorry if that seems like a stupid question..
im really farely clueless.
cheers
