Ahh, the life of a single man, how I miss the days... must be nice to be able to play games, have a beer, and wack off in peace.
And look at how clean it is No smudge on the TV, no drawings on the wall

It's like unicorns vomiting chocolate rainbows all over me as I float through a lollipop garden on a magic carpet.

God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.
I've posted pics of my PC which has changed a bit since the last I posted. I got a new power supply and some new fans. I reworked my radiator fans to be pull instead of push. I will probably post an update when I get my 1080TI cards. Here is a pic of my battle station though. I have never posted it before. I am using a 7.4 Klipsch sound system. I have 2, 15 inch subs that are behind the couch.

Yeah it's my baby. I just got it a couple weeks ago and it's changed my gaming experience for the better. HDR in Hitman looks pretty crazy and I hear Resident Evil 7 has an HDR mode for the PC with TV's that support HDR. I had been using 4K down sampling on my 1080P TV before I bought the Z9D. It's nice to finally experience true 4K. I watched The Revenant 4K HDR the other day and it's the most impressive looking movie I have ever seen.
Still think going ITX was the best decision I have done as far as computer upgrades go in a long time. Had friends over the past 4 days for a LAN party, watching them all struggle with their massive cases and all of them ask about how to build an ITX build was satisfying.
Made the switch from onboard audio to using bookshelf speakers powered by a Yamaha RX-V379 receiver yesterday. Klipsch R-15M speakers.
The Maxnomic Need For Seat Office Comfort Chair I got last week. No more back or butt pain while gaming! I love the lumbar support.
Trying to decide if I want to wall mount the speakers
Wall mount them. Should be easy too, you could build out small shelves and place them on the wall that way. Not sure what kind of wood to go with for the shelves though, since your desk already clashes with the walls pretty hard.
That desk looks sweet though. The glass center never gets annoying with the reflection off the monitor?

I spend a lot of time on /r/battlestations and I'm pretty sure I saw this setup posted there recently. Very slick.

I don't notice the reflection while gaming. It's really only noticeable while looking down on the desk. Not sure about shelves for the speakers, was leaning towards using speaker mounts. I want to do something with the receiver that's currently on the floor too, not sure what though. Trying to avoid more holes in the walls than is necessary due to this being an apartment.
Ah, apartment .. I'd avoid wall mounting them in that case. If you manage to get them off the desk, then I'd just move the receiver onto the left side of the desk where the left channel is currently sitting.

I think maybe I'm just confusing what I saw on R3D with something I saw there. I browsed through and can't find what I thought I saw previously.

I've posted a pic with that desk in it before on R3D.
That sub is amazing! Some beast mode builds in there.
On a side note: Took the mesh filter off that goes over the vent for the CPU today. Was coated in dust. Might explain why my CPU temps were in the 70's and I don't even overclock lol. Temps back down to high 50's / low 60's. Got my 6700K down to 1.12 volts (undervolting ftw) at stock speeds. Low profile heatsink.
I am thinking about picking up a 1080Ti now. This 1080 is a Founders Edition. Now I am not wearing headphones, this thing is loud. Especially since I have it overclocked. Thinking about a aftermarket 1080TI. Reading the owners thread on this Raven RVZ-02 over on overclock.net; people are saying aftermarket coolers do work better in this case vs. stock blower coolers. It actually states it in the owners manual too. 1080 non-TI is not quite capable of 165fps in Overwatch or Battlefield 1 without overclocking. And even with overclocking I hover around 120fps in Overwatch, 75% fan speed is killing my ears lol.

I have the same speakers for the rear of my setup. You can see them in my shots. I use these speaker stands from Guitar Center. I didn't want to wall mount mine either. It may not be ideal for a desktop setup. It's good for my purposes though.
Yep, A-H01. A PCM5102 DAC paired with a Bang & Olufsen ICEpower 50ASX2 amp. I Bought it with the speakers in the H01.3 system for a really good deal, then sold the ipod dock for half the cost of what I paid for the system

Wanted a smaller case so got the 460x instead of the 570 like fly. It's really lovely and quiet and tempred glass is cool, only problem is i'm still having problems getting the right door back on despite trying my best to have neat wiring ( the problem is I ran my power cable in the back and have 5 sata SSDs, and the power cable required to be flipped to make it go into the square placements acts as a spring).
But beside that it's great and since it's right by a wall i might just let it be.

I just don't trust AIO or water cooling enough to risk it, I need 24/7 uptime and can't afford anything to leak. But yeah I see how this would fair better look wise with that AOI. Maybe i'll get more RGB fans and put them on exhaust/cooler.

My media server was filling up so I decided to go to the next phase of the build and install another 3-drive bay in the bottom of the machine so I can install more HDs. Had to remove a radiator from the bottom compartment do to this so it was time to rebuild this loop (only a few weeks after the last time, of course). At the same time decided to swap PSUs between my machines so that I could get some more power connectors in my media server which needs many more than the gaming rig does. Moved the 1200W PC Power & Cooling unit to the media server and the 750W Corsair RM to the gaming rig. This also more closely matches the aesthetic of each machine than the previous setup so I'm very happy with the results. The gaming rig is a blacked-out machine with no LEDs and blue dye for the water (so black with blue highlights). The media server is black with a white secondary color and blue highlights. I did the black and red thing for awhile and it seemed like everyone went this route so I switched it a bit.
Took a few pics of the finished product for each system.

Looks like you are cooling it with milk. Nice rigs!
Thanks! It's dye in both systems. Even though both say they don't stain, they lie. Either way, it looks good and it's cheap to do, and the opacity is customizable to personal taste unlike with colored tubing, so I'll probably stick to dye from now on.
