Hi,

 

I'm Omar, just wanted to showcase my current rig, nothing fancy, but I think it looks clean and the specs serve me well...

Silence is key in my build, so we begin with the case, bequiet! Silent Base 800 (bought after being reviewed by Linus) & 1000W Corsair RM1000i (zero RPM Fan)

W o w.

 

Nice build(s)! :P 

 

If you clean up your cable management under your desk, get rid of some of the not extremely essential things on the desk, you should definitely enter your setup into something like Setup Wars

Intel i7 6700K | MSI Krait Z170A MSI GTX 980 w/ NZXT Kraken G10/x31 Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD/WD Blue 1TB HDD NZXT H440 | K70 RGB/SteelSeries Rival

can that dark rock pro 3's be quiet text be upright so it pleases the perfectionist in me? -eyes twitches-

I don't think so. With the AMD m-ATX board I had in the DS cube, the orientation was the way you describe, however it also meant the fan was mounted in an odd position so the flow of air didn't make sense.
