    Believe me no one here cares how "manly" anyone's wallpaper is. I personally quite like how clean and tidy your rig looks!

    Anyone else noticing the appearance of the tape measure on so many people's desks?
    Wonder we all need it for Guess I can't be the only one measuring up my desk to see how tall a tower I can stick under it.

    Bad Djinni! Computers don't go under desks! Only on, or off to the side on a small table.

    RAgamanos. Not trying to be rude, but isn't the point of landscape that you only look at the center monitor?
    That way the bezels won't distract you. The one reason i cant stand portrait is because the bezels are so close and you're forced to look at all 3 screens at the same time.

    Landscape is more of a periphal view. Think Real life, you cant focus on the left or right edge of your view unless you move your eyes.

    another example: Driving a car you can see scenery go by through your side windows but you're still not looking at them in focus. Same idea with surround i guess. Wouldnt want to look at the sides in something like battlefield anyway. Everything zoomed in and you cant really estimate the distance of objects

    on topic: Very nice rig. looks are amazing.

    Got my other Titan back after blowing it up, the HUE looks a lot more blue in these pics than it actually is for some reason. Forgot to turn my under desk LEDs on for the second pic too - helps me see my keyboard!

    Edit - pics too big.

    RAM, H110 and the case is "a lot of Corsair"?

    I doubt he really needs luck to have his case and RAM not "die", AIO maybe but I wouldn't be overly worried.
