what makes your setup different?

[mclainlk]

What makes your setup different from everyone else's? Anywhere from your desk finish to your chrome theme works!

[Tea1337]

Well, I'm using a logitech mouse on a steel series pad and using a Turtle Beach headset on a Gateway laptop that has a Kingston SSD

[Bluejay0]

I own it. Duh.

[_ASSASSIN_]

I theme everything I possibly can to make it super clean looking.

My raven rvz01 case and old small tv for second monitor

[tS_kStin]

3 monitors in surround, and none of them match and the GG button. http://www.ggbutton.com/

[TheSLSAMG]

My linusschnitzeltips magnet.

I've painted like everything in my computer

[Antistatic12]

I am pretty sure I am the only person with a Intel 3970X CPU and an AMD HD5450 GPU.
both are from totally different ends of the price spectrum LOL.    (just temporary as I am waiting for 880)

[C1intFunWood]

I use a testbench instead of a case

[Maslofski]

my frames are totaly diferent, everyone is like" yeah, only 50 FPS, cant play this shit". mine goes up to 40 and i feel like playing on a 144Hz Gsync monitor.

[LancerBG]

I use a couple of modded Filco keyboards, one full sized and one tkl. I just got my Saitek Rhino Set up. I use a Denon Ceol piccolo via toslink for my audio.

I guess the only thing I really can think of that makes my setup different from others, is my desk's.

 

 

[Enderman]

55in LED tv and 14.2 surround

[0s4x]

I have a sleeping Pikachu on one of my monitors.

[Kamina]

Well my tower has beenie boos on top of it...  :wub:

[Enderman]

IT'S.... AMAZING...

It would be even MORE amazing with a 4k tv! So I would not have to see the pixels!

I have several policies put into place when I build my PCs, including:

 

 

• Functionality always comes before aesthetics.
• Steel and aluminum cases only. The less plastic, the better. Build quality matters.
• No i7s. I hate when people buy the i7 over the i5 for gaming simply because 7 is the higher number.
• I buy K series processors because I don't like the notion of being locked down, but I don't overclock because cool temperatures and rock-solid stability are more important to me.
• No liquid cooling. Though I experimented with AIO solutions for a brief while, nothing is quieter than air cooling. Liquid cooling is masturbatory.
• No more than 16GB RAM. Putting in unnecessary amounts of RAM is like writing "n00b" on your own forehead.
• No masturbatory high speed RAM kits. I focus on tight timings more than high clock speeds because I prefer a cool, stable system over bragging rights.
• I only populate two RAM slots. I know people who elect to populate all RAM slots for aesthetic purposes and couldn't care less about stability or their IMC.
• I won't touch SLI or CrossFire. Like liquid cooling, I find it masturbatory.
• I won't touch RAID-0. Sacrificing reliability for speed is something only idiots do.
• I run my Samsung 840 Pro SSDs in reliability mode and refuse to use RAPID mode. Again, the stability of my system is more important to me than e-peen.
• I run Corsair RM series power supply units because coil whine drives me nuts.
• I don't get ridiculously overkill wattages. I prefer not to sacrifice the efficiency of my unit and wear the n00b badge that is buying an overkill PSU.
• I run all my fans at their lowest speed setting because I prefer not to sit next to a jet engine.
• All my case lighting is white because it has a classy look and doesn't make my machine look like a fourteen-year-old's Call of Duty box.
• For Chrissakes, no case badges!
• I use IPS and PLS displays. Color accuracy and viewing angles are more important to me because I do more than just play FPS games all day every day.
• I use Ducky Shine Cherry MX brown mechanical keyboards with white backlighting. I love Ducky because their keyboards look like keyboards, not Billy's World of Warcraft monstrosity with a hundred useless keys.

[Ryan Leech]

5GHz.

[yurihellsing]

Mine has it's own way of being useless.

[dev893]

well my PC sits in my closet hooked up to a 23" dell TV/Monitor in a home made shelf. oh and my hole PC cost me around $230 i guess thats about it nothing special

[Enderman]

You need to get a faster potato....

[jaqiefox]

I may have the only core2 quad q9650 @ 3.6ghz with hd6850 in a lian-li pc60 original case, with two 80mm holes custom cut in the back..... tied to a 27" 1080p monitor..... I may not be.  but I probably have the only system with a 1.44mb black floppy drive, and a zip100 atapi drive, and windows 7 64bit.... and use the floppy and zip drives more than once a month (transferring files to and from my beloved 386 scsi system) *shrug*

 

Or I may be the only one using cricket's horrible cellphone internet through a cricket branded blackberry curve 8350 3G for my primary isp.

 

I may also be the only one here that has a decent computer that also lives in assisted living (adult foster care) and is under age 40.  There's a lot more, but I am getting further and further off base I think, so I'll stop typing and submit.

Superiority complex much? Freud would have a field day with you.

 

I agree to some of the points you are making but your derogatory (and constantly sex-based) insulting demeanor leave a whole hell of a lot to be desired.  Anyone care to count how many times in this post this guy talks about masturbation or the like? :wacko: :blink:

Someone who puts their IQ in their signature is accusing me of having a superiority complex? Now, that's rich.
