I named the computer Gypsy Danger because it started off as a $600 core i3 build with a used GTX 970 years back and I slowly upgraded it to this monster. I traded the GTX 970 for a bunch of half corroded water-cooling parts from 2014 and got two GPU blocks, 13 white only led fans that are molex daisy chained to like 3 different chains. Got a few fittings and two GPU blocks for the 3090 I spent a stimmy check on and the CPU is a 9900k — the fastest gaming CPU possible for the z370
I'll admit at one point this was almost the fastest gaming PC on the planet haha, now it's a relic, but not bad to play with LLMs on smaller models either due to 24gb vram. Thing has more than made its own worth back in value imo anyway
The sound system cost me just under $650 used and repaired some stuff. It's some focal shape 65 on top of Boston cr9 which is the speakers for my coffee bar, a velodyne hgs 10 sub and a decent Denon as an AVR decoder ran off an extra HDMI out from PC that's a dead display but audio out
The PC is literally made out of garbage scraps lol, has parts more than a decade old inside of it 👀, thing can still slap somewhat lol I'm hoping it's faster than consoles until at least 2027
The OLED will go in my bedroom "living room" theater setup and it's an LG c1 wbe panel 48 inch. My neck will hurt less and burn in won't be walking on eggshells anymore lol I raided an entire wotlk wow expansion with a UI that was 90 percent transparent because of that OLED xD
Thanks for listen to my TED talk 🤝

i don’t even give a shit about the cable management, and i understand there’s no space for those massive speakers on your desk, but are you doing anything serious with them that you need accurate listening? because obviously, that’s not proper placement lol. they look like they hit though.
also, wtf is that chair? is it comfy? looks interesting to say the least lol
At one point I was all on the OLED hype train but you get 80% of the quality for 30% of the cost
What’s the chair’s model?, is it comfortable?, how long have you owned it for?
Kind of insane to call a 3090 a relic
Cable management and speaker placement truly makes me want to punch my phone.
I’m a bit confused what even is the point of the sub it’s almost the same size as the speaker subs so it can’t possibly extend the bass much lower
Holy cable management Batman!
I know it is kinda off topic, but I have the same wallpaper hehehe.
How are those Focal speakers? They look rad.
