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.

    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
