Steelcase Leap - my ass and back love it. Everything else is even more uninteresting or standard. I guess the CRT effect of LightBoost on my VG248QE is pretty damn neat.

Coolest? Definitely not my 7970 whilst folding.  Probably my fan controller. Love that thing to bits. I just sit there turning it up and down, mesmerized by the fans spooling up and down. Yeah...I am a bit weird.

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.

My current setup is my first attempt at building a PC. So there's nothing really special about it. But I do feel that my DIY PSU mod is a cool feature on my rig.

I have them connected to a channel on my fan controller so I can dim them or turn them off completely.

I'm struggling to comprehend why you'd spend nearly $900 on a chair. Having said that I've not sat in one, so I don't know just how much your arse and back love it.

It was only $740. I guess I eventually realized that it's kind of ridiculous to spend thousands on a computer setup and then skimp out on the one item that affects your health the most while using it. Check out random setups. Many won't even show their chairs, or are using folding chairs, wooden dinner table chairs, or non-adjustable, non-ergonomic "executive" pieces from Wal-Mart or OfficeMax. I played that game long enough and my body paid the price.
