[shy rampart]

When Lennart and I have the same ram

[brisk anvil]

Nice

That's my work pc though :p

[shy rampart]

then what is your personal

[brisk anvil]

Those pics are a little old though

[unreal rune]

Damn Lenn, super jealous over here

[shy rampart]

Beautiful

[brisk anvil]

It is really nice :)

Just wish the monitor arm was better and not as wobbly

[wheat oyster]

I think that setup is feaking sick nice job

@brisk anvil

Do you use your laptop for the stream encoding

or do you just run it all off of the main pc

[brisk anvil]

For stream encoding :)

[wheat oyster]

i like that idea a lot actually

very cool

[brisk anvil]

I need to find a better way of capturing gameplay from my main PC

[wheat oyster]

what are you using now?

[brisk anvil]

I usually use NDI with the Scan Converter software

It's free from NewTek and it's usually great

[wheat oyster]

Im not familiar with Scan Converter but I have used NDI on OBS before

[brisk anvil]

It's amazing

[wheat oyster]

I just don't have my new system together yet

[brisk anvil]

It captures the screen and creates a NDI feed

[wheat oyster]

but NDI is awesome and as long as you have higher speeds

[brisk anvil]

Pretty much no performance impact (runs on gpu)

Yeah

[wheat oyster]

before I got my 1 gig down and 100 mgb up it was so bad

[brisk anvil]

It's not affected by your internet speed

But your local LAN speed

[wheat oyster]

yeah

[brisk anvil]

But the problem is that my monitor is half 4k (3840x1080) and scan converter doesn't play well with that

[wheat oyster]

oh

[brisk anvil]

It halfs the resolution

[wheat oyster]

the wide boi

[brisk anvil]

ye

and 1920x540 doesn't look great

[wheat oyster]

so it just downscales pretty hard to fell like normal

*feel

[brisk anvil]

I think it has a max horizontal res of 1920

[wheat oyster]

yeah

[brisk anvil]

Or maybe it just doesn't know to do with it because it's 32:9

[wheat oyster]

yeah

[normal elbow]

cool setup lennart

[wheat oyster]

prolly aspect ratio tbh

cause i would assume it could do normal 1440p

[brisk anvil]

Thanks FigFruit

I haven't tested 1440p

[wheat oyster]

I have a 1440p 165 hz monitor coming in the mail and plan on using my laptop for screen encoding when i get the rest of my parts in

[brisk anvil]

Nice :)

[wheat oyster]

but i have plenty of time so im gonna wait and see how the new amd cards and the 3070 pan out

nice build tho have a good one

[brisk anvil]

Thanks, you too

[sacred hedge]

nice or nah?

That's awesome

[polar sentinel]

hello

[brisk anvil]

Now you just need to add a screen to it so you can do an animation where it freezes

Hello

[potent bobcat]

@brisk anvil oh yes i need to do that. Never done a display before

[brisk anvil]

Neither have I but it looks really cool

[potent bobcat]

Took me a while to do the icicles and the ice on the pump and radiator

[rapid shadow]

but can it run crysis

[untold agate]

@potent bobcat That build is absolutely incredible
Well done!!!!!

[potent bobcat]

@rapid shadow oh it can run it. I got to the loading screen.

@untold agate thank you for your support! It was really fun doing it

[rapid shadow]

nice what is teh ice made out of?

[potent bobcat]

@rapid shadow i made several layers using glue then i painted it with a shimmering clear paint, then used clear coat spray.

[rapid shadow]

jeez

its so nice

[potent bobcat]

I also used some clear crystals as ice chunks

[rapid shadow]

dammnnn

[potent bobcat]

Hoping to enter this into some competitions 🙂

@reef lodge do it for msi mysic light then for everything lol

[reef lodge]

mystic light is already supported

[shy rampart]

for steelseries stuff?

honestly mystic light is a pain because the actual rgb settings they offer dont act normal

[versed apex]

Yeah SteelSeries and MSI have had partnerships in the past (laptops with SteelSeries keyboards, monitors, mobos) so it would make sense Mystic would already be integrated

[shy rampart]

i just dont see it being recognized at all in the msi software

and i dont like the software lmao

[versed apex]

Lel

SSE is the only RGB software I actually enjoy using

Of course it's def not perfect, but still far better than most others

[shy rampart]

ofc its just like

mystic light could be good but it only has steady, off or then really random rgb styles and none of them are good

[versed apex]

Yeah the RGB software on my TUF laptop is pretty barebones. Just a few effects and brightness adjustment

Oh well, I have all my peripherals set to a steady purple including my laptop board so I don't need a bunch of fancy effects lol

[shy rampart]

with the new keycaps and stuff it makes the effects great but the rgb softened which is great

next purchase for my build is probably an 2 tb ssd to get rid of my hdd

[reef lodge]

for steelseries stuff?
@shy rampart nah, to sync to icue

[shy rampart]

hmmm

[shy rampart]

What about it

[unreal rune]

thats their battlestation

[shy rampart]

Understandable

[mint plover]

my pc for 4000 dollar i have 3887dollar

im 17 years old

This is my battlestation

[humble ice]

weird flex but ok

[rapid shadow]

why does everybody have apex pro tkl not the full size?

[reef lodge]

cheaper

[versed apex]

Because TKL gang

[reef lodge]

and they don't need the numpad anyway

hell yeah tkl gang

just remap numpad to a meta keybind

[versed apex]

OwO

[lament jolt]

why enter button tkl weird

looks like 2013 Logitech keyboard

[reef lodge]

looks standard to me lol

[zinc needle]

65% gang

also there are different layouts, ANSI vs ISO and thats why some enters are big and some aren't

europeans typically use the big enter

[inland mica]

Yeah SteelSeries and MSI have had partnerships in the past (laptops with SteelSeries keyboards, monitors, mobos) so it would make sense Mystic would already be integrated
@versed apex yeah i have an msi laptop with a 3-zone steelseries laptop, it's so old the keyboard's colors come out weird now

[dark ether]

@zinc needle I like those keycaps

[hard mason]

Can someone ask what keycaps those are

To spicy raichu

As he/she blocked me

[shy rampart]

65% gang
@zinc needle what keycaps are those?

[zinc needle]

i believe they're maxkey SA keycaps

[mint plover]

i have razer green keycaps and ducky rubber keycaps#

[shy rampart]

i just went through receipts, apparently ive only spent 1300$ on my total rig

weird

[mint plover]

i have the same headset in black this is the best headset what i ever seen

[blissful wind]

I love how it has dual channel for bluetooth ❤️

[inland mica]

i want that headset so bad but right now i have a perfectly fine razer kraken and just spent a ton of money on my new pc setup so probably won't get anything new for a while

[lament jolt]

i love the orange light

how you do

apex vs apex pro

[crimson apex]

thats huge

I love it

[teal herald]

ikr

its a little worn out cause i used it for about 7 years so the keys ASD are transparent due to lack of paint

[crimson apex]

yeah I use the 7, but my older one from another company was about the size of the other one

[untold agate]

@blissful wind How do you like the NZXT Puck?

[blissful wind]

@untold agate I love it! But I know it's not for everyone! I got mine off eBay pretty cheap

[untold agate]

Ok

Thanks

[hot ruin]

Jeez i still own the apex raw incase of emergencies

With some keys that has worn out paint on it

[nimble cape]

Pudding keycaps are 100% worth it (apex 7)

[lament jolt]

[unborn valve]

oml lol he even says that is a apex 7

[shy rampart]

its just hyperx puddings

[lament jolt]

[valid wolf]

Bro you know you can swap keycaps right?

[strange onyx]

https://i.imgur.com/RN44SFO.png

Prefer these ones tbh

I don't like the HyperX branding on their ones

Plus the font on theirs is weird

Oh nvm HyperX do unbranded ones with normal font too

[scarlet ermine]

theres a list of diff profiles

[hard mason]

are the steelseries ones cherry

thats what id think

[scarlet ermine]

I think so aswell.

[lament jolt]

magic apple keyboard

[brisk anvil]

I haven't used Apple keyboards in a while but they used to be amazing

rog came out with a 360hz monitor

so add that to your bucket list

and use the 240hz monitor and the 144 as a 2nd and third monitor

So yeah you're kinda right with the laptop guess except my screen res ;)

That moment when your pc is so shit your chrome stops responding from closing 2 tabs

[mental compass]

oof

[versed apex]

I can only fit 2 drives in this laptop, the NVME which is my C and a 2.5' SSD for my D.....F is just chillin as an SD card with some 4K video footage and pictures lmao

[rigid lynx]

I dont understand how my phone with a supposedly great camera always takes the grainiest and worst photos, surely couldn't be user error

[oblique oracle]

If it's anything like my mums thing @rigid lynx you gotta go into the settings and change them to anything else, then back to maximum resolution, HDR processing on, no limit to storage space and no autocropping.

[buoyant rock]

Anybody know what pudding keycaps work best with the Apex Pro

[burnt salmon]

hyperx pudding caps

they're fairly inexpensive and look epic

[buoyant rock]

thx

[strange onyx]

@rigid lynx what ultrawide is that? I've been looking for some for when I get a new pc

[honest sparrow]

I’d say Samsung, most of them are technically the same anyways @strange onyx

[dark ether]

@honest sparrow its gotta be samsung

look at the legs

those extend quite a bit

[rigid lynx]

@strange onyx i have the odyssey G9

[strange onyx]

@strange onyx i have the odyssey G9
@rigid lynx How is it? I heard the first batch had issues, they stopped producing them for a while and released a second batch which also had issues. (Again, that's just what I've heard)

[rigid lynx]

I have also heard about their issues, i havent ran into any yet however it only arrived yesterday. so too early to tell

[broken hollow]

CorpseMarine#4338 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[strange onyx]

Ah gotcha, is it too much to ask if you keep me updated on it, I'm upgrading my PC next year when the 3080 and stuff will actually be able to be purchased and I was looking at the G9 then stopped because of the issues. Would be nice to see from someone else what it's like.

[rigid lynx]

Yeah, will tell you if i run into any issues with it. So far im loving it. My first ultra wide monitor. However i too am waiting on my 3080 to arrive to make full use of the monitor.

5120*1440 is hard to run at 240hz

[strange onyx]

I have an All in one pc and it's a 34" ultrawide ;)

I wanna go bigger to that 49" though

[rigid lynx]

Yeah i went from two 27" to the 49 so the main difference it the lack of bezel

I wouldnt reccomend going for the cheaper models as you will really want the 1440p for a monitor of this size

[strange onyx]

Yeah plus that higher refresh rate too

[brisk anvil]

I wouldnt reccomend going for the cheaper models as you will really want the 1440p for a monitor of this size
@rigid lynx I use the 3840x1080 49" version and I don't have any issues with the resolution

I actually kinda prefer the lower resolution for higher fps

Even with a 2080 Ti

[versed apex]

Haha imagine being a peasant 2080TI user

He says while using a 1650

[brisk anvil]

[dark ether]

@rigid lynx i thought thats what it was

the problem was with the bezel

at the very top, they typically have a crack

so be wary of that

[shy rampart]

@burnt bridge did you finish the build

do you have more pictures

[brisk anvil]

Looks nice

[zinc needle]

fan splitters or hubs are your friend

[lament jolt]

My Alienware front fan is so loud

I literally need to get a different fan for it

It goes past 40% speed and it sounds like a car w/ the ac on from the outside

[zinc needle]

i imagine the front is also blocking the fan, that can't help

[burnt salmon]

cozy

[honest sparrow]

Cozy but not a lot of extra room. If you have the money, I’d suggest buying another desk and fitting it vertically against that wall next to your originating desk, to make it into an L desk

[brisk anvil]

I'm feeling a desk upgrade incoming

[iron kayak]

yess when one mousepad isn't enough you get 2

[dark ether]

ever since I've been listening to sleep music on my RGB headset I've always been able to fall asleep much quicker

[rose oriole]

its because of the rgb

[iron trench]

I listen to heavy rave music in bed

No joke

[rose oriole]

are you ok

[iron trench]

Yeah just love a good rave

[iron kayak]

those kay caps tho

[dark ether]

pudding keycaps do me nice doe

[mental compass]

niceee

[zinc needle]

compression by your phone or discord probably

that poor mouse, please buy a mousepad for it

provides a consistent surface for the mouse sensor to track

and provides a surface for your mouse skates

that won't wear down as fast/other qualities such as speed and feel

that's not that old

post covid, go to a store and test some

zowie has a thing where they will send you a box of their mice and you keep the one you like the most, or none if you don't like them at all

Since you still have an Xbox are you well informed about proper PCs @dark ether ? I’ve had buddies go with the 30 series cards and 1 gen processor, DDR3 things. Crazy

where do you get those?
@dark ether i got them off amazon sherch up led bulbs

Since you still have an Xbox are you well informed about proper PCs @dark ether ? I’ve had buddies go with the 30 series cards and 1 gen processor, DDR3 things. Crazy
@honest sparrow yes i do im getting a 2080 super ryzen 5 and 32 gigs of ram

[rigid lynx]

Any reason why you are getting a 2080 given the 30xx series is released?

[shy rampart]

they could have gotten it a good deal second hand and think they cant get their hands on a 3070 on drop. Depending on which Ryzen 5 they are using it shouldnt be a bad build

[rigid lynx]

Yeah ive been dealing with Overclockers trying to get my 3080, althought nvidia claim that the 3070 will hav emuch better stock. Dont know how true that may be

[shy rampart]

i wouldnt be doing a 3070 justice by putting it on this board and cpu, til next build lol

First off imnot building its an alien ware pc and my buget is 1500-1800 and the pc with the 3080 is 5k

[shy rampart]

oooooooo

that makes more sense

[dark ether]

Ima keep my pc for a long time if i need upgrades ill buy the new shit for it

Building a pc not too hard im just a lazy mf

[shy rampart]

Alienware might be a pain to upgrade in but that is your choice

[dark ether]

I like the case

Tho

[shy rampart]

A PC is a PC, if it does what you need it to do its chill

[dark ether]

Exactly i dont need no 3080 its more then balf my buget

[shy rampart]

to be fair a 3070 is 1/3 your budget

[mental compass]

tbh 3070 would be worth it

[zinc needle]

we don't know any third party numbers

so i'd be careful saying it's worth it

[rigid lynx]

well for £450 i cant imagine it under performing for that price

[zinc needle]

still

[shy rampart]

to be fair i could charge you $9999 for a 1660

I dont think saying the price of a product as justification of a purchase is justifiable

[unborn valve]

i have a gtx 1650

lol

but i switch for a 2070 super

[rigid lynx]

I think if we are talking about if something is "Worth it" price is 100% important thing to talk about

If at its £450 price point it out performs every card around it, even if its benchmarks are lower than advertised, it would still make it a worthwhile purchase

[dark ether]

im hoping to swap my 2080 super for a rtx 3080

[honest sparrow]

Starting at $500, with 3rd party companies create RGB, other sorts of designs, more of a $550-$600 price range for a card like the guy 3070

@dark ether 2080 super is going to drop in price dramatically when they get the stock on the 3080 sorted out, which is going to be soon. Not telling you to go a couple days without a gpi but in the long run 🤷‍♂️.

Gpu*

[dark ether]

im building a whole new system

so imma just have to lose out on some money

[honest sparrow]

Any specific budget?

[still yarrow]

nice

I would get next 2 but I have no money, and my dad already paid for those 2

Actually, only for shipping thanks to promo codes 😎

[dark ether]

ya

im getting an i9 10900k, 3080, 32gb trident a neo @random hemlock0, 15tb hard drive, and 1tb m.2 drive

[zinc needle]

15tb huh

[versed apex]

15tb hard drive to match my 2tb of ram

[honest sparrow]

15 Tb hd but only a 1tb M.2 🤷‍♂️

Drop the 15tb HD and get a 8 Tb SSD a then dude. Unless you’re going to do YouTube? Or takes several thousand clips.

[dark ether]

i meant 6 tb ssd

lmao

[hard mason]

That’s more expected

Still a lot

[balmy pecan]

lol for what r u gonna need 6tb ssd?

but maybe you have subscribed to origin and uplay and a thousand games lol

and those big minecraft modpacks

[zinc needle]

i mean, i'm running a 2tb hdd and that's getting real full. I would love to have 6tb or higher hard drives

it's just when you're looking at 15tb, you're probably looking at NAS territory

it's a bit odd to get that much storage unless you have a specific use for it, and it almost looks like he/she was just putting in a lot of it for the sake of having a lot of it

[spice ferry]

guys i want the karlby countertop but its 180

im broke

[zinc needle]

save up

[hard mason]

How can people be poor

Just

Have money

[burnt salmon]

holy crap u just solved homelessness

[foggy island]

No he solved poorness

[vale flint]

if you're homeless just buy a house

[ruby mesa]

Cleanest keyboard

[dark ether]

@zinc needle exactly

Idk, I find comfort in knowing ill always have enough space

[unborn valve]

If my go-xlr comes today im going to take a pic of my setup

[zinc needle]

Yall making fun of me but a luxury item like a karlby is not comparable to homelessness

You don't need any of this stuff. If you want it, save up for it.

[rigid lynx]

Well, just got an email from Overclockers UK, ive been moved up 40 positions in the queue, from 840 to 800. I may not be getting my 3080 before 2077

[hazy wave]

looks at my 1660

what do you have now?

[rigid lynx]

1660ti

Was hoping to pick up a new card before Nov 18th but that clearly isnt happening

[hazy wave]

ayyy 1660 gang

yeah that sucks rip

[unborn valve]

i had a 1650 at first because my budget was 500

now it is 3,000k

[rigid lynx]

Im planning on building an entirely new rig shortly but i was hoping to atleast have a 3080 or 3090 arrive, i never expected nvidia to mess up the stock so badly

[honest sparrow]

If your budget is 3k wait for the 3090

[unborn valve]

nah

[hot ruin]

The headset is the missing piece

[spice ferry]

@hot ruin I have everything else other than the mouse. I personally don’t like steel series mice

[weak basin]

gonna buy a 8tb ssd

and then just say its my gpu

[honest sparrow]

Yeah good one

Cause itll cost you the same

[weak basin]

lmao

[shy rampart]

You trying to get that while I’m eyeballing a new 3tb HDD

[weak basin]

lmao

lemme see

[azure trout]

nice congrats

[shy rampart]

Same rpm as my 1TB Western Digital for around the same price... i wants it

[unreal rune]

whats the benefit of using HDD these days? Just price per GB/TB?

[honest sparrow]

Might as well go with the 4tv iron wolf pro

@unreal rune Usually you can store videos , clips, games that dont require much horse power, etc

So most people have it as backup, a very large backup And yes price per tb is sincerely better then an sdd , excluding the speeds

[rose oriole]

yeah all my singleplayer games are on my hdd

[honest sparrow]

A game such as modern warfare would go on my ‘SD’

Lol

Imagine that

[shy rampart]

whats the benefit of using HDD these days? Just price per GB/TB?
@unreal rune my wallet says no

[brisk anvil]

I have a single nvme drive and it fits MW fine 😂

Plus other games

[shy rampart]

I have a ssd for a boot drive... that isn’t even my boot drive

[brisk anvil]

A Corsair MP510 1.92 TB is the only internal drive I have installed

I do kinda want more space

[shy rampart]

If I get the 3tb I’d have a whopping 4.250 TBs of storage

Imagine all of the... school files I could save

[brisk anvil]

Should I get the Corsair Force MP400 with 4TB? It's only $750 😅

[honest sparrow]

Pocket cash

😂

[shy rampart]

I feel like a 7200 rpm HDD is pretty close to a average ssd, like boot times are pretty quick

[rigid lynx]

the read write speed of a hdd is drastically lower than an ssd

[zinc needle]

the thing about hard drives is that it's not only about rpm

it's also about platter density

[shy rampart]

Also that but it is what it is

Who needs a headset stand? Cuz I don’t

[versed apex]

Lol imagine having a headset stand

[shy rampart]

how are the cans

[versed apex]

Pretty good. I like the carbonation but mostly bought them for ease of use since I like to grab one when I leave for classes and such and usually don't have time to mix up the powdered stuff

That being said I'll probably get a tub or two when I run out of cans lol

[shy rampart]

I just dont really imagine carbonated gfuel

[versed apex]

Lmao that's what a lot of people say but honestly from the ones I've tried it doesn't diminish the flavor any that I can tell

But I'm also used to drinking Bang so that might be why the carbonation doesn't really bother me

[rose oriole]

honestly the overall flavor of the cans is better imo

the carbonation is a little strange and a shock if you're not expecting it, but its good

[versed apex]

Yeah, that too. For example with Bahama Mama I don't think I'd like the banana flavor as much in a shaker as I do the can

[shy rampart]

maybe if they stop avoiding my state like the plague then i could pick up some cans at a gas station or something

[versed apex]

Yeah I wish I could find cans off the shelf, but we ain't got no G Fuel down here in Bum F**k Alabama lmao

I just ordered a variety pack off the website. It got here in 5 days which was pretty lit and all the cans were still intact

[thorn jolt]

hi guys i just take arctis 3 bluethoot. I want to open 7.1 but i cant open it . i can open at stereo but in stereo i cant speak at discord . when it is at hands free ag i can speak at discord and play games but i cant open 7.1 .
If you know the answer to the question, I will be glad if you answer

[shy rampart]

thats for #archive-user-support buddy @thorn jolt , its more likely that they will see that and help there

[thorn jolt]

thanks

[weak basin]

all these fools

with their miniscule ssds

i present to you

gpu lookalike and costs the same ssd

[hard mason]

Lol

[steel bramble]

The headset is the missing piece :rooVV1:
@hot ruin lmao i have the exact same things but the mouse is missing

[hot ruin]

My buddy is missing the keyboard

[mental compass]

damn bro nice apex pro

too much flex for me

lol

[steel bramble]

Thanks Thanks it was a hole for my Wallet tho

[honest sparrow]

Pretty sure the oled display is what kills the wallet , the actual keyboard itself is almost identical to the razer huntsman elite and TKL , which are fairly priced at around 100

[sour ferry]

@steel bramble jealous! I'm just missing the Prism

Dreams in 3XL

[peak dust]

Ehh my setup isn’t great but it’s fine

my mouse is orange because of sse

i have a steelseries arctis 7, apex 3, rival 110, and a qck small. Im 13 so i have a pretty tight budget and my tv is 12 years old

[honest sparrow]

I was going to say with all fair ness, that tv is not outputting anything over 480 p lol.

The desk doesn’t match everything else, should look into a new one if you work the budget

[shell basalt]

sorry if messy just wanted to show off my kinda trashy setup

im too poor to afford steelseries

but i still love their products

[peak dust]

Nah my tv 720p

[sacred hedge]

how r u 13 and have a nice setup

im 14 and mostly i got my items from bday

[iron kayak]

ayee your reading the outsiders

[runic prairie]

@shell basalt Bitwit would kill you LUL

[honest sparrow]

Slaughter*

[normal elbow]

who needs a headset stand, just use a banana holder

they are like $5

[sacred hedge]

just use nothing

its cheap

[vernal kernel]

just ordered some new keycaps for my apex 7 😎

[honest sparrow]

Got a desk with a headphone holder

[shell basalt]

ayee your reading the outsiders
@iron kayak i love reading the outsiders

its a great novel

@shell basalt Bitwit would kill you LUL
@runic prairie also whats bitwit

[runic prairie]

[shell basalt]

oh cool

[mental compass]

👌

[peak dust]

Clean, I like it

[shell basalt]

clean and sleek

[spice ferry]

@sacred hedge that’s my setup and I’m 14 lmao

[mental compass]

nice

👌

[shell basalt]

damb

nice setup

[ripe mason]

where do most people get there desk
asking for when i get a pc

[zinc needle]

reddit loves the ikea setup

alex + karlby is a common one

[shy rampart]

i want an ikea but am kinda stuck

[versed apex]

standing desk gang!

[mental compass]

i need a bigger desk

[versed apex]

I could have gone with a 55" but I was in between moves and wasn't sure how much room I actually had in my new apartment so I went with a 48"

Still a lot bigger than what I was using lol

[shy rampart]

im on a 42" rn, wanna bump up but the color and type of ikea i wasnt isnt much bigger

nvm i forgot its quite a bit bigger

59" Linnmon Black/Brown

[versed apex]

When I get back to a desktop setup instead of using a laptop setup this desk will probably feel much bigger, it's just that my 17" laptop takes up quite a bit of room with my KB+M and everything

[shy rampart]

the schools that im looking at supply desks and stuff but i think i can opt into bringing my own desk which would be clutch

[final olive]

me with my dell 2014 pc

[versed apex]

Lol this was my old setup when I was living at home

Vs the one I have now

[final olive]

better than mine

[zinc needle]

the tented laptop is interesting

[versed apex]

The second pic is from when I had just moved in but nothing has really changed much

[zinc needle]

the top pic looks like it has a bigger mousepad

[versed apex]

Lol yeah I really didn't have any room even without all the extra stuff on the old desk for dual monitors with the laptop

Same mousepad in both pics

[final olive]

bro i have a 2014 dell pc with a 75hz monitor hahahahahah

[versed apex]

Also all my peripherals are purple now instead of rainbow barf lol

[zinc needle]

excellent

purple is a great color

[versed apex]

Yee Yee. My next tower is going to have the same color scheme with the LED strips on the 500DX

[final olive]

nice

ur setup is amazing

[royal lily]

@versed apex Looks neat 👌

[versed apex]

Thanks man. I definitely put actual effort into this new one lol and tried to hide as many cables as possible but I'm gonna get some cable sleeves and stuff for my tower to make it look better

[final olive]

bro ur setup is 100x better than mine

[versed apex]

I have too many USB hubs and random wires with my current laptop setup to really hide them without loosing functionality

[final olive]

what do u play on ur laptop

[zinc needle]

8/10 computer parts, 2/10 desk and chair

[mental compass]

👌

[versed apex]

Ayye laptop on desk gang lol

#2812 what do u do on ur laptop

[versed apex]

You could just tag me my guy lmao

[final olive]

yeh sry

[versed apex]

But to answer the question, I game, do uni work like papers and a few other projects since I'm studying journalism and poli sci and video editing + content creation for my job

[final olive]

ok

[versed apex]

It's fine for most of the stuff I do. My main issue is just the mobile CPU and GTX1650 that's slowing me down for video editing and such which is why I'm going to build a new desktop in the next few months

[dense swift]

I just put 7 dollar led lights in my room and it looks fancy as hell

[zinc needle]

i expect an optimized build from you alan

[final olive]

nice

[versed apex]

Want me to drop my parts list in #💻-building-a-pc so you can judge me oh wise one @zinc needle? lol

[final olive]

yeh drop them in there

[zinc needle]

yes 😄

[dense swift]

Go on

[weak basin]

@versed apex do you not live at home now

[versed apex]

Nah I'm a big boi and have my own apartment lol

[weak basin]

lmao

pog

[versed apex]

Yee

[weak basin]

what are your current specs

couldnt find the link

[versed apex]

For the tower or my current laptop?

[weak basin]

tower

and laptop

B)

[shy rampart]

I need a second monitor

its decided

[shell basalt]

cool

[rose oriole]

second monitor is pog

[shy rampart]

its either gonna be the same as the current one or i invest in like a 144hz

[iron kayak]

seconds monitor is life

[brisk anvil]

Oh yes

[shy rampart]

almost sold my mom on the idea of a new desk lol

once i told her the table top is like 30 bucks lmao

[brisk anvil]

I regret not reading past "almost sold my mom" at first lol

[versed apex]

Lmaoooo

[cedar axle]

xDD

i have like 2 $80 monitors that do me fine, but trust me 2 monitors is a godly upgrade

[rose oriole]

yeah i want to get a 144hz but right now i just have 2 60hz, one is super old but theyre both totally fine

[iron kayak]

yah same i have a super old one to

[zinc needle]

once you go 144hz it's very hard to go back to 60

[iron kayak]

not for me i dont notice a difference

[zinc needle]

you sure your monitor is set to 144hz?

[brisk anvil]

You might be legally blind if you can't tell a difference 😂

[iron kayak]

probably

how do u make sure its 144

[rose oriole]

the cable youre using needs to support it too iirc

not every cable was created equally

[brisk anvil]

Very true

Like the good old days where you needed the right kind of DVI cable to get 120 hz

[rose oriole]

lul

i know most of them support it at this point & if yours doesnt they're like at most $10

[brisk anvil]

You're not even old enough to have owned a CRT monitor :P

[rose oriole]

we're not doing this again

thanks

[brisk anvil]

I don't really miss my 15" Nokia CRT, ngl

[iron kayak]

yah it says its 143 hz for me

[cedar axle]

imagine being old lmfao

[brisk anvil]

Yeah, imagine that

[rose oriole]

i had a crt though & those boys were c h o n k y

t h i c c

[zinc needle]

okay, try switching your 144hz monitor back to 60hz

you should definitely feel it

[iron kayak]

my second monitor is 60hz

the only difference i notice is it has better colors

[zinc needle]

have you tried the ufo test on both monitors

[cedar axle]

that sounds interesting

whats the UFO test

[iron kayak]

are we testing aliens now

[brisk anvil]

chonks

[rose oriole]

a true chonker

[iron kayak]

i used to use one of those chonhy ones

[brisk anvil]

But holy shirt it's crazy to look back at old photos of me

I do not look like myself lol

[rose oriole]

i tweeted a comparison of me now & me 10 years ago and like nothing has changed feelsbad

[brisk anvil]

Like fork me

[cedar axle]

are you your profile pic?

[brisk anvil]

starts profusely searching for gym clothes online

[rose oriole]

me

[brisk anvil]

Yes

[cedar axle]

damn you look different

[brisk anvil]

I mean putting me next to a heavy dude doesn't make me look less skinny but still

That's from my first E3 in 2013

[cedar axle]

those jeans are well fitted

[brisk anvil]

I think i'll take the pics down since they arent really battlestations :P

[cedar axle]

the driving sim. kinda was lmfao

[brisk anvil]

A tiny bit :P

but it wasn't my setup :P

[weak basin]

when you're at 60hz

you'll think its fine

but now i have a 144hz monitor

and i literally cant go back

lmao

for me the initial switch to 144hz wasn't extremely noticeable

but when you got back to 60hz and compare it

you'll see that 144hz is much more fluid

and there are less afterimages you could say

[honest sparrow]

You’ll see the difference between 60 and 144 more then 144 to 240

[brisk anvil]

For sure

[bitter marsh]

My battlestation with my Arctis pro +gamedac

Got a laptop stand/cooler for my setup! Looks great

You might appreciate the cardboard under the power supply adapter thing to not burn the house down

[scarlet ermine]

the cardboard is a fire hazard

take some insulative rubber and aluminium plates

[versed apex]

Yeah lol the cardboard might actually be worse than just having it sit on the carpet 😂

[grim bloom]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[weak basin]

lol

just use ants

[cedar axle]

EH

[honest sparrow]

That cardboard is the worst thing you can put under it, second to a match.

Lol

[weak basin]

EH
@cedar axle problem?

[cedar axle]

ANTS?

[weak basin]

ants are the best when toasted by a psu

[cedar axle]

😳

[versed apex]

Maybe the reason they aren't responding to our comments about the cardboard is because their house already burned down

[cedar axle]

true true

[honest sparrow]

Couldn’t save em in time

Honestly he’d probably be better off just putting it in the trash can
