Hopefully this is appropriate for this subforum (and not P&M), but I always enjoyed looking at other people's computer/AV setups and mancaves. The original inspiration came from the HardOCP.com forums, so I thought I would kick it off by posting pictures of my rats nest/home office.
It is where I do 90% of my work when not traveling, and where my dog occupies half the room on a queen sized bed that he has made his layer.
There are 7 computers and 6 computers in what is a small sized bedroom. It is the ultimate fire hazard, but oh gosh does it make me happy.
Picture of Server and Workstation rat nest (Everything is on its side, because I am too lazy to properly mount fans, and I like having direct ram/VRM cooling for max OC)
Server (on left):
[email protected]
32gb Ram
Geforce GT710
16TB Mechanical Drives, 128Gig Boot drive
Workstation
Delidded 7820X@5ghz
64GB DDR4 3200@3600mhz
GTX 1070
4TB Total SSD and 3TB Mechanical Storage
Main Monitor Setup:
1 x 49" LG 4K UHD
1 x 32" Acer QHD
1 x 28" I-Inc 28"
Server Monitor:
1 x 24" LG
Media Center/Server #2
42" Westinghouse 4K
[email protected]
16Gig Ram
R9 290x
Laptops:
MSI GE62
15.6" 6700HQ, 16Gig Ram, GTX970
MSI GS70 (I purchased this recently second hand, because I like the larger screen, and I got it at a steal $500CAD)
17" 5700HQ, 16Gig Ram, GTX970
Dell XPS 13 2-1 (2015)
i7 4700u, 8Gig Ram
Cube i9 (Chinese Surface Clone)
10.6", 6Y30, 4Gig Ram
I actually had 3 more computers that I have recently given to family and friends (a 3960x, a Surface Pro 3 and Dell Lattitude 6330).
I don't have many hobbies, but I remember as a teen, I would actually hang out at the local computer store with my friends (we knew a couple of the techs that worked there). Being around the latest hardware (Pentium 4s, Geforce 2 etc) made me really happy even though I couldn't really afford it.
Now that I have a real job, I still get that same rush by being surrounding by computer hardware. Realistically, I barely use anything other than my workstation and the Dell XPS, but I am still always looking at Kijiji for the latest deals on server equipment etc.
Post what you got!
