Love the chair, what's it called and where from?

Thanks, but I don't really like the chair... it is made from a very soft and delicate leather & plastic. It is comfortable though. The cats have put plenty of holes in it already.

I got it from amazon when it was on sale: Boss Black LeatherPlus Executive Chair

What kind of desk is that? Also, does it have like a glassy top? Nice setup btw :D

By looking at the shelves to the right in the first picture I'd say it's from Ikeas Expedit series, well assuming they use the same names worldwide of course :p

Slugger that's epic!

Mine has not changed that much since last time on top except for a new chair:

But under the hood there have been some changes, more RAM/SSD etc :p

Can't wait until cases are only geared towards SSDs, so much saved space!

I like working on my PC in the kitchen, food is always at hand.

ugh! you tend to get better looking chairs at staples in the UK :(

We have that chair here. I've seen it in Staples a few times @ 11th & Market I'm certain.

mrk - that is one helluva cable mgmt job - I am envious.

Every build I spend an hour or so installing the hardware - but I'll spend 5-6 on getting the cables perfect - and I never get it to look like yours.

I think I am using the wrong PSUs

I gave up on cable management. My case isn't really designed for it (Antec 300), plus the CPU and GPU run so cool. I've got the CPU to bottom at 19c, and tops out at 40c (with Arctic Freezer 7 Pro), and GPU bottoms at 28c and tops out mid 60's. I do have nice fans though, and I guess that can make a difference. Also, it is a suprisingly quiet computer too. I am contemplating on moving to a case with more flexible cable management, but I've just been too lazy.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By SystemX2 · Posted

      Thanks to some of the other recent Windows improvements, I'm optimistic about this one. My quick wishlist would be: perf like the older menu, merge both menus or at the very least, the older menu should be a flyout, not a simulated click to the old menu, and lastly, a customization window to let users move items from one menu to another, so I could bring Send To back to the main menu, and the OneDrive settings to the older.
    • This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE

      This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE by Sayan Sen Recently we reviewed AMD's latest 1440p gaming card, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB, for $549. The card is in stock too at that price, though if you want significantly better performance and don't mind spending a bit more, the Gigabyte Gaming model of RX 9070 XT is currently on sale for just $650 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specifications of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G are given in the table below: Specification Value Core Clock Boost Clock: up to 3060 MHz Game Clock: up to 2520 MHz Stream Processors 4096 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Size 16GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 256-bit Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Maximum Resolution 7680 × 4320 Multi-View Support 4 displays Card Dimensions L=288 mm, W=132 mm, H=56 mm Recommended Power Supply 750W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin Video Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB Graphics Card, GV-R9070XTGAMING OC: $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $740) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
