On the old photo, the monitor on the left, is that the same as the one on the right? Also what monitors are these, a link would be nice. Are they 24inch? I'm in the market for some new monitors.

Yes I am very happy with the case.  There is a small plastic cage for 5, I think 2.5 ssd's, there is two caddy's at the bottom of the case for 2 3.5 HD you may be able to get 3 in the metal cage behind the motherboard which would normally hold the cd/dvd drive.

Only 2 3.5 HD? It would have been much better if I could have 5 3.5 instead of 2.5.. I guess I'll stay with my current one for a little more. (HAF932)

Yeah they're the same monitors (LG 23EA63V-P), they're supposedly 23" according to the LG website however the box says 24". I believe they retail for a little over ?100 each. I got them cheaper through work as we bulk ordered 300 of them as part of our XP migration/infrastructure upgrade last year and had a surplus of them. Absolutely stunning colour and clarity for the price.

Only at first glance?

 

Yeah, his face looks weird, it keeps changing on me. Dunno, just me.

It's not a computer, but it's a major component of my "Battle Station" along with my PC and police scanner.  I probably spend more time talking on the radio than I do on my computer.  The radio came with a standard little bulb, a really small incandescent one like a Christmas light.  I put a blue LED in it once, and that LED started flickering, even when I took it out and tested it on a battery, so I tossed it and put the factory bulb back in it.  I started noticing that the meter would get pretty warm from that bulb, and even worked on a few similar radios where the plastic had melted from the factory bulb.  Last night I took mine back apart and sure enough the plastic in the meter had begun to yellow from the incandescent bulb's heat, so I swapped it out for a new blue LED.  I think the blue looks sharper anyway, and it's been on all day and the meter is cool as a cucumber.

Here's my desk as a whole.  Kind of cluttered, I've been doing a lot of soldering, working on a few computers, etc.

English but sort of a strange reason for owning it. One of my best internet friends is from Sweden, and Sweden is one of my favourite countries. I bought it at a music festival to mark our tent and kept it ever since.

What do you use this system for? The one with 6 hard drives.

I used it as my main workstation and a host for a variety of VMs for troubleshooting and projects.

I really like your setup but the way you positioned your water cooler is really annoying me aha. The pipes should be the other way:P

It could go either way it doesn't matter :P the way I put it actually looks better, it's the same way Corsair usually position their AIO WC's in their builds :)

Small update. I made a backsplash to mount my monitor to that allows for cable management. Now I have a nice large workspace with no obstruction. No wires. There is a 3/4" gap behind the backsplash. Wow. i never realized how bad the camera on the Nexus 5 was until I tried to take these pictures.
