Hello reader, Steemian and/or setupwars judges.
I thought I'd give this challenge a go.
The picture quality is not great, but natural light in my room is limited, the ceiling lamps are yellowish and I only have a phone to take pictures. That being said, here it goes:
PC (my SteemMachine) :
The case is a Thermaltake V21 fully modular micro-atx case.
Powersupply is a corsair HX-620w modular Bronze certified psu.
Ram is 8 Gb of DDR3-1600 kingston valueram (from back when it was cheap).
The mobo is a simple Micro atx ASrock B75M-DGS rev2.0
GPU is a rather well performing MSI twin FROZR GTX 970
Together with the rock solid intel I7-3770 (not K, i know, sigh) it performs well enough for 1080p.
The corsair H55 AIO watercooler keeps the cpu well in control and with the radiator in a push-pull config it acts also as an exhaust fan. In the front is a 20 cm fan that was provided with the case that creates more than enough airflow at a mere 800rpm. (yes, that is a 200 mm fan).
For the OS and a few programs is a dedicated Kingston 120 Gb SSD together with a 1Tb HDD for the rest of the programs and 2x2Tb of HDD's in RAID 1 for the music library.
Periferals are a ultra wide sharkoon mousemat (900 x 450 mm) together with a complementary Sharkoon mechanical keyboard (brown switches) and a Gamdias Ourea mouse.
The monitor is a acer low latency full HD IPS display.
Audio setup :
The most important parts of the setup are the peculiar Floating Synthese 3 Speakers. Paired with a 100 Kg (220lbs) heavy hand made 15 inch Cerwin vega subwoofer.
The Mono amps powering the Speakers are a pair of Marantz MA-500. The DA-converter is an Audiolab M-DAC that outputs to the wooden Tisbury mini passive preamp on top that divides the audio to speakers and headphone amp. The headphone amp is a Little dot 1+ and he headphones are a pair of Beyerdynamic DT-990.
All the audio cabling is hand made by me and a friend of mine (but isn't managed very well XD).
The desk is a simple desk from ikea and so is the chair (which is definately the first thing to upgrade, i'm having back pain)
Very soon I will have ended my studies and will start to work, by then I'll start upgrading the PC section. (maybe a dual monitor setup too.
So yeah, that's it for my setup, hope you liked it
