Your Computer Setup
Most of us have a Computer Setup, we either use them for simple tasks such as studying to more complicated and advanced tasks such as Audio Production or 3D Rendering. A computer setup is the centre of that.
What are the items that you use in your computer setup? And what do you use your setup for? Preferred but not mandatory post layout: Items Used: (add a spoiler, maybe link the items) Purpose: (self explanatory) Pictures (if necessary or have some just in case): (add a spoiler here of course because I don't want to flood this thread haha .-.) So in my case: Items Used: Spoiler:
Purpose: Schoolwork, Productivity and Really Really Lightweight Gaming (its a mac so i won't play CSGO or gta v with high res graphics haha) Pictures: Will be posted once I come back to my country and if this thread doesn't die :p What do you guys use? I am really curious :P Things you might consider to make your setup feel and look better: Spoiler:

I love these threads. People come up with the coolest setups. Can't wait to see em!
My main PC is integrated into my home theater setup, then I've got my laptop to use while I'm traveling. Here's mine: Gear: Spoiler:
Purpose: I use my main PC for gaming, web browsing, and watching TV. I'm a big audio geek, hence the setup. I use the system for movies, games, and music. I would love to go full surround again, but my room limits my options, so I'm going with classic stereo for now. My laptop lets me do some light gaming and web browsing on the go, but I also use it for coding. Photos: Spoiler:

But I have a question, how do you use it? Do you have something like a keyboard + mouse combo? If not then I recommend this for the perfect home theatre setup! My suggestion is to add some LED lights behind the TV that work via USB (you can attach it to the tv and wrap it around the TV if possible (bam) but other than that it's an amazing setup, thanks for submitting! :D |
I don't have a picture for my pc and my laptop , but anyways let's start! maybe I post it up later.

And it's funny that you mention LEDs because I was just thinking of adding some bias lighting. I'll probably do that soon! Quote:

Ooooh boy. Here we go:
I built this PC in the summer of 2013 and I've been slowly upgrading it since then. Specs 16GB DDR3 Corsair RAM Intel i7-4770k @ 3.50 GHz MSI GeForce GTX 970 ASUS Sabertooth Z87 Motherboard NZXT H440 White (Case) Peripherals Corsair M95 White Mouse Ducky Shine 4 Keyboard Blue Snowball Microphone Sennheiser Headphones - can't find the model number :( Monitors BenQ XL2730Z - 2560x1440 @ 144Hz LG Ultrawide - 2560x1080 @ 50Hz (meant for 3440x1440 @ 60Hz but it needs DisplayPort and I'm using my one port for the BenQ) Dell U2311H - 1920x1080 @ 60Hz The BenQ is primarily used as a middle/gaming monitor. I use the Ultrawide as 2 720p monitors, and the Dell is normally used for Discord. I don't really need a 970 at the moment, but I used to be more into gaming and recording and made a lot of use of it then. Spoiler: Photos

I'm still in the process of putting a final build in it, but it works better than my old laptop so I've been using it. I need to upgrade the processor and add a graphics card.
Computer is for browsing Internet, some writing/text editing programs, and light gaming. Right now I can run Terraria and Stardew Valley decently, and apparently Portal boots. I haven't tested playing it though. Uh... what the hell is my computer anyway...? It's my first build so idk what I'm doing 8) Actual Computer Specs: Spoiler:
Accessories: Spoiler:
I've been a little thrifty with this build. The current processor, hard drive, and monitors were all free. I was going to use an old case originally but then one of the screws stripped when we were trying to mount the motherboard in it, and we had to rip it out of the case. Luckily the motherboard wasn't damaged in the process! Lesson learned: be careful where you cheap out on a computer. :P |

The D[A]LL is a funny easter egg you left there, props to you for that haha! I think you're struggling with the mousepad + mouse, so what I suggest is that you buy this mousepad, and then your choice of a wireless mouse or a wired mouse. I get that you are doing minimal work and possibly are on a budget so I gave you some good priced items, cable management is also kinda great for a dual monitor setup, thanks for the submission! :) |

Spoiler:
but seeing your PC specs, these specs are really good! I think that's for mid-ranged gaming hence the processor and memory capacity, thanks for the submission! :) Quote:
Seeing your Memory, 14gb isn't really seen anywhere haha, I think that's the first PC I encounter with 14GB of RAM. Again, can't wait for the photo submission, but for now- thanks for the submission! :) |
I was going to put a joke about my amount of RAM since someone says something every time I bring it up, but decided not to.
I'll take the pics when I get out of bed. Lazy. There are now pictures. |

Oooh, this is interesting....
Items used Spoiler:
Purpose I use my computer for gaming mainly, but also music production and game development. If I've done all my schoolwork :). My 1080 monitor is my monitor for gaming/using Unity/ being my main window in Studio One and my second monitor (the 720 one) is for watching anime youtube, hosting pop-out windows for Studio One or Musicbee. Pictures Spoiler:
My cable management skills aren't exactly the best. That Black/Yellow power cable is in a really bad position. Not even going to mention how bad the cables are outside my computer - oh wait, I just did. I'm not showing my desk. It's a mess. And finally, for anyone who might be interested, here's my 'retro' Windows PC Spoiler:
