Build complete. :) My Lumia is off for repair so I had to use an old camera which is a little grainy.

 

 

 

Nice. I'm building a living room PC (ITX or mAtx, Corsair Carbide Air 240 case) and I'm considering water cooling.) Any comments on how much noise the pump makes?

 

I may go SLI too. I have a 770 and a 760 and don't really need to, but as long as I have them. Maybe I'll just dedicate one to PhysX.

Not really "my battlestation" but I don't have anything other than my work laptop :(

What's the phone in the middle? Is that an Astra? Are you looking in to Lync/Skype for Business?

I heard Ikea stuff was cheap and kinda chincy - is that true or was that person being a furniture snob ?

Furniture snobs, sad thing really, make me laugh mostly, I've had Ikea furniture last longer than more expensive and "better"  brands heck my main desk is going on 6  years now, and it's no the oldest daily use piece I have

They are all Cisco phones, not a single one is for anything other than testing though.

 

As a business we are already mostly running Lync for IM/Calls.

Added the Noctua and super slim sata cables. I think I'm done with the insides of this PC for good.

Ya not a furniture snob lol.. but the reason I buy Ikea is because of how long it lasts like you said :) I'm sure Ikea has cheap crap too but there desks usually hold up pretty good.

my desk is from 2011 and stilli s like the day I got it :)

so it came messy? /hides

 

Any desk will last as long as the owner wants. Hell, I had a Walmart desk that was $20-30 that lasted me 4-5 years, but I moved on to a nicer desk (which I sort of regret buying, because it's glass :(). Note to people: glass desks may look attractive, but do not buy them. It requires more cleaning than a traditional wood/laminate/particle board desk (to keep the glass clean), and comparatively, it doesn't support a lot of weight.
