The official 2017 post a picture of your setup thread
« on: November 07, 2016, 01:17:11 PM »

Eh, 2017 is only a few weeks away, so why not just label it 2017 to get it out of the way? After all, all the car companies are doing it so why not us?

So let's see what you got! Here's my work/personal setup I'm currently rocking. I will post some more detailed pics later of the Narwhal case to the right of my desk. By far the best computer case I've ever owned.

At work, my stand-up desk.

What's your take on the stand up desk? I've been going back and forth as to whether or not I want to get something like this or just continue with the traditional sitting desk. (Obviously not that exact model given it's cost, btw)

I've been exclusively stand-up desks for the last 8 years, at work and at home.

I think I'm going to have to take the plunge. I stood for most of my life in the restaurant industry and then as soon as I got a desk job I got two of the worst injuries I've ever sustained in my life so far. I think there's something to be said for being on your feet and being active.

Here are some more pics of the Narwhal case from Raidmax. They really thought through the layout of the case to make it easy to move around, as well as decent cooling capabilities right from the get go. Though, I'm not a big fan of the 120mm fan on the front with the LEDs but I'm too cheap to swap it out so I'll have to live with it.

Here are the specs:
Corsair RMx Series RM1000X 1000W PSU
MSI Z170A Tomahawk AC LGA 1151 Intel Z170 mobo
EVGA GeForce GTX 960 4GB
Intel Core i7 4.0ghz
64gigs DDR4 3400
Samsung M2 256 gig SSD
1TB WD SATA hard drive
Windows 10

EDIT:
1) Screw cable management - ain't nobody got time for that
2) Screw dusting it out for pictures. My compressor is in the garage and I don't feel like running the air house outside so I don't get dust all over the place in the garage.

The real question is... are you rocking an Android phone or an Apple?

Oh wow, right from the get go back in 2009. Sometimes I'm tempted to give the iPhone a try since every Droid I have ever owned has always gone to hell after about 9 months of use.
