The Time Has Come

I’ve noticed most setups have the PC to the right of their monitors. Is that just for the tempered glass aesthetic or is there a functional reason why the right hand side is the go-to option? With my wall socket and surge protector on the left hand side logistically it seems like having PC to the left would make things easier.

Shorter cable runs for peripherals as well, presuming you're right handed.

The cables....

@AgentCooper Look what he's done!?!

The worse it looks now the more impressive it'll look once I've sorted everything

hopefully I’ll do enough not to haunt @AgentCooper.

It’s too late….

Yes, cable management is non existent, will make it nice and tidy once PC arrives though. Not sure if I’ll make it to Amazing Spaces but hopefully I’ll do enough not to haunt @AgentCooper. MX Silent keys feel nice, still audible, nice and tactile too but doesn’t seem like they will reverberate through the entire house.

Looks like you have airbrushed both sides of this pic, you hiding cables?

PC is at the depot, should be arriving today!
Have some meetings 3-5, hoping that it'll arrive before that slot, otherwise I will have to dial in on the move, PC will definitely be the priority!
Looking forward to having it installed and making my desk nice and organised, will be taking lots of photos.
A small shame as I managed to find the narrow window where I didn't qualify for a free copy of Resident Evil Village, but I've nabbed a few other games in the Steam Summer Sale so have plenty to sink my teeth into.
If I can work out OBS on Thursday potentially going live on Twitch for the first time on Friday afternoon.
Once again, want to thank everyone for being a part of this build; I got input from so many people to have this all come together and I can't wait to share the finished setup!

Look forward to seeing it, just make sure no stray cables in any of the photos

I might keep a couple, just to verify it's actually my own build

Probably worth checking with mods if I'm alright sharing it in my thread, otherwise gonna be a DM.

If you could DM anything like that please, that would be grand 👍🏼

DM all of us, you know what to do 👍

It has arrived! No visible dents or cracks which is good. Slightly concerned that it was on its side during transit despite the clear “this way up” icon on its side. Also seems to be a heavy boy as the handle gave way completely as I was carrying the box indoors. Looking forward to unboxing further, although might not be until tonight as unfortunately have some meeting this afternoon!

 

[rouchie]

We need to see the unboxing
