Monday August 2nd the Questor will be @TaleSpinner! Hope you enjoyed this round. I wouldn't exactly call it pimped, or anything like that... Doesn't that require purple shag carpet or whatnot? ^Initial setup of more or less current rig... ^Current setup (it's nice to have an airbrush booth) Processor: Intel i5-10600K CPU Cooler: Cryorig R1 Ultimate, with special edition orange CustomMod covers (these were won in a giveaway on OCN. I was one of two people to win some a few months before they hit retail) Memory: 32GB G-Skill DDR4 3200 CL16 (2x16GB) - probably will be bumped up to 64GB at some point Motherboard: Gigabyte Z490 Aorus Ultra Video card: Asus RTX 2080 Strix Storage drives: Western Digital SN750 500GB m.2 NVME (main drive), Samsung 860 EVO SATA 1TB (gaming drive), Seagate ST2000DM006 2TB mechanical drive (mass storage). Will eventually be adding in a 2TB m.2 NVME (for gaming storage) as well as another 500GB m.2 NVME (for photo and/or video editing scratch drive usage)... And upgrading the mechanical drive to 2x 6TB Seagate Iron Wolf drives Audio Interface: Audio-GD NFB-11 Class A headphone amp Headphones: Sennheiser HD 600's Second audio interface: Rode AI-1 (with a Rode NT1 on a Rode PSA1 connected to this) Joystick: VKB Gladiator NXT Premium (on Monstertech mount) Throttle: Thrustmaster TCWS with CoreHawk3D Impulse Slider (on Monstertech mount) Xbox 360 controller Switch Pro Controller (not pictured) Monitors: 2x Asus ProArt PA278QV 27" 1440p 1x LG 27GL850 27" 144 Hz 1440p G-Sync Compatible monitor Keyboard: Razer Huntsman Elite Mouse: Razer Naga Trinity w/ two button insert Case: NZXT Phantom 820 (Black) with side panels and half the internals removed (I was originally going to watercool it) Desk guardians: - Treat the Dragon, in 2017 Halloween special edition colours - Funko Pop Eevee. My one and only Funko Pop, and as you can tell, it's NOT IN THE BOX. Mousemat was picked up on AliExpress, and has Teemo on it. While I like the character, I hate the game. Eventually I'll get a replacement one, it's just trying to figure out what I want the design to be first. Oh, curious what the rig looks like? Not a perfect shot, but it isn't exactly easy to get a look at it due to it being partially tucked in behind my monitors 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monday August 2nd the Questor will be @TaleSpinner! Hope you enjoyed this round. Well, here’s the top of my laptop, if that tells you anything: I also buy cases for all my portable devices, because I’m a dern klutz, and I like them to be a pretty as possible. My phone has a purple case and my tablet has a nebula case. My computer is set to change my background periodically, from a folder of nasa pictures. My other devices have pictures that express my various interests that I change randomly. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example personalised mousemats/laptop sleeves etc etc? If not, do you have a special screensaver/background? Not really. Back in the day when I built my own desktops I may have pimped one to an extent simply because the air fans/casing had blue lighting (I took air cooling seriously since the previous desktop died from overheating after five years). I played a lot of games back then, so I wanted it to look cool. I should have airbrushed a design on the case of the one that died: Little Steve Austin, the Six Hundred Dollar Machine (yes, inspired by The Six Million Dollar Man, because when frayed wires on the power source blew several components, that was the cost to rebuild him... better... stronger... faster...). Since transitioning to using laptops (for portability, reduced gaming, and reduced disposable income) I don't really do anything. The most I do is give it a name and throw up a background to reflect that name. First laptop was JARVIS, my current one is called GIDEON. I don't think I've used a mousepad in well over a decade. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Background, I may have posted before: That is from the phone ^ screen's background. This is a sample of the surface of Europa, thank you NASA.
