Dusk
First build in a decade. Aim was for gaming rig capable of 1440p/144Hz @ High Settings.
Was just going to upgrade core components (CPU, Mobo, GPU & RAM), but after doing this, it didn't seem right to keep my old (yet great, post-modified) case & an old desk from over 10 years ago. So plans changed, & the core upgrade turned into a full system/desk overhaul.
Performance was the main goal, but seeing many builds online, I took a liking to how certain use of RGB could turn the PC & desk into a cool (yet understated) featured area of the home.
For the record, I detest rainbow RGB. Watching many builders' channels on YouTube, I couldn't work out why so many used that cliche/messy lighting effect to promote their channel/rigs. I prefer subtle, ambient lighting myself.
The lighting theme for this setup was inspired by an accidental combination of two lights; the orange desk lamp + blue rear LED of the new monitor...The light purplish result made me think of a sunset, glowing over the late evening sky...
So as the build progressed, I wanted to focus on maintaining cooling performance whilst adding subtle RGB that reflected (sometimes literally) the above theme. Reflected as in the mini-theme between the mouse pad & keyboard - their lights are mirrored in both colour & fading effect from the point of 'collision', which ended up being a nice touch, complimenting the Orange/Blue/Violet theme across the desk, in the background & into the case.
I work with cables most days, so that aspect of the build wasn't neglected either - I try to keep cable ties to a minimum as I love my Velcro ties (felt side in, so as to not grate away at paracord & to make them easier to slide along cables to perfect spacing).
Very happy with performance-noise ratio. It's Winter here: 10 degree (Celsius) day. With the heater on (~17-20 degrees inside), CPU's Idly sitting at 32, GPU Edge/Hotspot at 32/34 respectively, & at 33dB. Under load, CPU is 68, GPU Edge/Hot Spot are 78/90, at 43dB.

Evolution of My Daily Driver PC
It took a little bit of time to get it all straightened out the way I wanted but this is it.
I will be making more adjustments in the future as the placement of my desk is only temporarily in my Bedroom since we moved our son into the room that was my office.
Enjoy.

Dr When?
A friend asked me to put a PC together for them.
They wanted to be able to do some light photo editing and the husband wanted to see how gaming on a PC would compare to his console (PS3).
I allocated about half of the budget to the GPU and bought the cheapest MOBO and case I could get. These weren't going to be power users so they would need/notice the additional features of a higher end board/case.
She is really into Dr. Who so I did a little custom paint job on the front with black enamel and a home-made stencil of the phone booth (I was told it's called a Tardis but c'mon...it's a phone booth)
And since this thing would be able to churn out damn decent in-game performance I figured that little catch phrase was perfect.

deskCOM - Computer built into custom made desk
A bunch of images of my rig. Finished in 2012, a computer built into custom made MDF desk. It lacks proper cable management and other small details. But overall i'm pleased with the result.

First Build
Built this last year (February 2012) after spending a month on the Internet to learn how to build one. I had just turned 18 and had zero experience before this, so I had no idea what I was getting myself into. But I'm glad I did!
System is a PC/Hackintosh. Components include an Intel Core i5-2500K, Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3H-B3, 8GB Corsair Vengeance RAM, and EVGA GeForce GTX 560. I continue to upgrade parts.
