Yes I heard about BenQ's new 120hz hero that is supposedly challenging (and beating) Asus's VG236H. It's been interesting to see the steps in 120hz. I still have my Samsung 2233RZ, the first-generation 120hz legend.

Just got a new, acceptable looking desk. Thought I'd show my full set up.

**Xuvial** · 2012-06-11, 06:57 AM

That's a beautiful desk and you've really put it to good use, love the TV + ps3 and interesting how you've placed your PC so it's behind you when you're gaming. You really got me thinking about re-locating my PC further away from myself so I hear the noise less

The FX-6100 was an...interesting choice....but hey, atleast Switch 810 kicks ass. What GPU you running?

**tetrisGOAT** · 2012-06-11, 07:00 AM

It looks like a cool desk. But me with OCD here, would you really sit like I'm guessing you are, based on the keyboard placement? Wouldn't that make you touch the side of the desk? I'd have to be having equal pressure on both sides if I was going to touch anything for that long, so I'd just rotate that 3-4°.

What's that?

Nothing wrong with the FX-6100. He's running the GTX 560 Ti.
I discerned this from clicking his sig. :P

You're crazy man...

Doesn't having the huge TV next to you, annoy you when playing? O_o

My rig is a transplanted and severely upgraded CyberpowerPC. In fact, the only piece that is still from CP is the 6100. When I bought it I had little knowledge of computers and what I was doing, so I saw "6 CORE PROCESSOR!" and I was like... Sign me up! I never thought I'd get so enthusiastic about my build til I started upgrading, now I regret not building one from scratch and also some of the parts I've purchased. For instance the M5A97 mobo or the 560ti (just a month or so before the 680 came out), wish I'd have saved my money and boughten higher quality pieces. In the very near future I'll be picking up a 2500k and a Sabertooth Z77, and I'm debating grabbing a 670, or just waiting for the 700 series.

I sit somewhat offset, with my left forearm resting on the desk. I actually drive trucks for a living so it actually feels kind of natural.

I thought it might when I first set it up and was contemplating it, but it really doesn't. Its hard to really watch a movie or a sporting event while actually doing anything on the computer because of how close it is, but I generally just listen anyway.

I'm almost done with my build just missing out on some Peripherals that haven't shipped yet and some cable sleeves next month.

The specs!

CPU: I5-3570k not overclocked yet due to some bug in the bios or setting i can't quite yet wrap my head around.
GPU: MSI TwinFrozer II 560 TI
PSU: Corsair AX 850
Mobo: MSI Z77A-GD65
RAM: Corsair vengeance 2x4 gigs
SSD: Corsair force 3 120 GB
HDD: Seagate 2 TB
CPU cooler: Corsair H100
Case: Corsair graphite 600T white

The Peripherals that i ordered is:

Corsair K90
Corsair M90
Corsair Vengeance 2000 headset

I'm going to sleeve all the cables myself and atm it's going to be from MDPC since it's the best i've been able to find and they look very nice! I haven't decided on the color but i'm thinking half blue half black, not quite sure.

And i would like to thank this forum because some of you guys are just great!

Oh ye and this is what i came from 9 months ago http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...ighlight=azome

**tetrisGOAT** · 2012-06-12, 02:02 AM

Even with the LEDs, that is darned sexy.
Kudos. And nice colourmatching and cablework. How did you like working in the case?

**CheezusCrust** · 2012-06-12, 02:06 AM

Looking very nice Azoome

I'm guessing you're going to SLI the 560ti's at some point? (with the PSU that got chosen)

**Azome** · 2012-06-12, 02:09 AM

I love it! one of the biggest selling points was the opening mechanics just love how quick I can get into it and the looks of the overall case is great!

only problem i have with it is that there isn't enough room to put a push-pull on the H100, something i can live with but i would have been nice. And about the cable work, well lets just say that it's great to look though the window but on the back it another story.

Nah, got a pretty nice deal on the case/PSU that's why, thinking about upgrading it to a 670 at some point or just wait it out till the 700 (or what ever it's going to be named) series comes out.

Which actually uses less or about the same power =p

**CheezusCrust** · 2012-06-12, 03:45 AM

Very impressive cable managing, I've never seen anything like it!

I'm taking my plane to Denmark tomorrow, my LAN/HTPC hybrid build is waiting for me there, will post some pictures as soon as I get my hand on the beauty

Fractal Design Arc Mini
Pentium G850
XFX 6850
Antec Earthwatts 550w PSU
Asrock H61M
4GB 1600hz Kingston HyperX (Adding another 4GB from my old computer, along with 3x Noiseblocker fans)

**sumrandom** · 2012-06-12, 07:12 AM

Mine Atm

Welcome back! (to Denmark) looking forward to some pics with better cable management =p

**Butler Log** · 2012-06-12, 11:05 AM

I've tidied the cables at the bottom, but still have to work out how the hell I'll sort out the bird's nest in the top right.

**CheezusCrust** · 2012-06-12, 12:55 PM

Red SATA connectors? Haven't seen those in a while xD

I'm guessing that's the Arc Midi?

*edit* looks at signature, herpderp

**Butler Log** · 2012-06-12, 01:04 PM

I didn't have a black one with a straight connector lying around

**Butler Log** · 2012-06-12, 01:07 PM

My motherboard came with about 4 right-angled black SATA cables and two straight black cables. I don't have a window (yet) and the way my desk is my computer would have the window facing away from me anyway, so it isn't really a high-priority issue for me.
