My school wants to start an Esports team, for the high schoolers, they got them 12x brand new gaming desktops with the following specs: Ryzen 7 7700 + 16gb ram + 7800xt, paired up with 180hz 1080p displays. They plan to convert a spare room into a proper gaming center rather then keeping them all out in the open like this, will post more pictures once that is done.

Country? School name? Do they take in 22 year old guys as high schoolers?

Of course they still have those cheap Amazon basics peripherals. Hopefully you can bring your own.

Looks awesome, just a shame about those keyboards and mice

Kinda surprises my institutions choose to use setups like this instead of servers and thin clients. I would imagine that route would be more cost/space/thermally efficient. I think 7700 and 7800xt in each machine is overkill for esports. You could easily divide up a couple thread rippers and 4090s for the whole room and still have good performance at each machine.
Cool though, times have certainly changed since I was in HS, that’s for sure.

If monitors were smaller you‘d sit even close to one another?

Specs would be nice

All sat precariously close to the edge of the table with seemingly no backing, on movable tables.
Tech support is gonna be busy the first day a kid starts acting up

my community college just got a dozen gaming PCs (rtx4090/ryzen7800x3D) for our new media program and i couldn’t believe it. schools can really provide you with some awesome resources. take advantage of it while you can!

Is that room called a Lab or a Lan? Game on!

Yeah it’s pretty cool to see. I work for a tech/data/managed services company and not to long ago a project of ours was a middle school that had a focus on game design and coding. They were able to work out sweet deals with alienware for setups and got built two E Sport rooms.

a lot of schools in america are starting to fund an esports team, my local COMMUNITY college has a pretty okay one. my girlfriends university has an INSANE one, all with gaming chairs and other things like multiple rooms for console gaming. they even have nitendo switches with smash bros bruh

My school has so old and thick laptops, they look like you can launch ballistic missiles with it
RBlunder
Gaming PCs with the mist atrocious OEM peripherals to go with ’em lmao (also SG mentioned raaaaah)
Rubfer
That looks expensive (the tuition fees, that looks like a private school)

I feel bad for the last pc in a long line of space heaters. Its like a train of hot air.
TalksWithNoise
Casually using bottom of the barrel monitors.

I am wondering about the specs
ThatOneGuy6810
I wonder how long til highschoolers start trying to grab cpus or gpus lol.
We did that with the computers that we had in the 90s i cant imagine having actual gaming hardware available like this.
Very cool regardless, and to be clear I know nothing about the culture in singapore, my comment is based on US kids in high school. Always thought Singapore was pretty cool though.
