    On the contrary it's a nice build. PSU could've been better and I recommend an aftermarket cooler, but neither are problems.

    Last I checked they cost a bit more than their Enthusiast series, while delivering only 80+ badge, nor being modular or anything. D:

    So I was hoping for getting home a new camera for taking pictures but meh not going to happen so instead I picked up the old touristy pentax optio consumer crap camera and took 5 horrible pics. They'll have to do though I swear this camera makes everything look more ugly and untidy :P

    Front-> Insides-> Moar insides->

    Pic of desk w/o flash-> More desktop->

    So setup as in sig. Just because I like listing stuff:

    Case HAF 912 Plus (or the one with interior painted black)
    Intel Core i7 2600K @ 4.6 GHz
    16 GB DDR3 RAM 1600MHz Corsair Vengeance
    Motherboard Asus P8P67 EVO, (chose it over PRO due to dual NIC, so I could bridge connection to the Mac.)
    2-way SLI Nvidia Geforce GTX 460, overclocked and stuff.
    WinTV HVR 5500 HD (TV tuner card)
    120GB Intel 510 Series SSD
    3x 1TB WD Caviar Black (Setup in RAID 5 through IRST)
    3x 2TB WD Caviar Green (No RAID, don't care)
    750W PSU, Corsair HX

    Laptop on table is mah trusty Vaio EB-series

    15" Screen
    Intel Core i3 330M - 2.13 GHz
    ATi Radeon HD 5650 - overclocked 585/900 MHz core/mem
    Intel x25-M G2 SSD 80GB
    Kingston 32GB SD Card
    I have an external 1TB WD Passport for it too :P

    An then there's the Mac.

    PowerPC G5 Dual CPU 2.0GHz
    Nvidia Geforce FX 5200
    2GB RAM
    Total of 1250GB HDDs
    Uhm it has an iLife and a Final Cut Pro 6 license

    And then there's the screens
    The Mac is connected to only one of the two screens, the one on the desktop. The screen on the wall is a Philips FullHD LCD TV that doubles as my secondary monitor (and is usually set to be just that)

    GL, seems anymore they design computer desks around imac's or office cubicles

    Yeah, I like mine, took me a while since not many companies make them like it anymore. Found it from a guy on Craigslist about 2 years ago. Plenty of room.

    I just need one with plenty space underneath. No need for these damned shelves cramping both sides of my legs.

    Need to make a new one, get my cat sleeping under there, with my switch bolted under the desk as well. But too much crap on TOP of it ATM to warrant doing so.

    Don't like glass. Feel like I'll scratch it up. And this coming from someone who's worn glasses since 6th grade. *_*

    As for noise, it's not silent, but it's not loud either. The fan in the NP7280 to the right of it is far noisier. I don't like glass desks, can't bolt/screw things into them.

    Updated.






    Desktop:
    AMD Phenom II x6 1090T @ 3.2Ghz (stock)
    Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro
    MSI 760GM-E51 Motherboard
    G.Skill 4x2GB DDR3 1333Mhz
    640GB/1TB Western Digital Drives
    EVGA GTX 570 Stock Clocks
    Seasonic 850W Gold Plus PSU
    NZXT Vulcan Case

    Peripherals:
    Logitech G110
    Razer Naga
    Dell Ultrasharp U2311h
    Turtle Beach HPA2
    Western Digital 1TB (the black box next to my computer)

    Laptop:
    Sager N8130
    Intel i7-2630QM @ 2Ghz
    8GB RAM
    Nvidia GTX 560
    750GB Seagate Drive

    So without flash everything was extremely dark but with flash it makes the pictures look bad. : / Oh well. The cables are messy and there's not much more I could of done in an M-ATX case, but temps aren't a problem so I'm fine, but it still bothers me.
