I know everyone hates on using a tv as a monitor but hear me out:

 

So this summer I ditched my old silverstone case (cant even remember what model). Lets just say it was hidious. The case im using now is quite unique, a 10mm tempered glass top display coffee table that I custom built myself. Inspired by Linus's desk pc videos I built the table and for the time being I stuffed my old setup inside. I7 4790, gtx 1060 6gb, a pcmate z97 mobo etc.

 

My question is what should go inside? I definitely want to do some overclocking, definitely like to game and I do a bit of rendering on c4d and after effects and would like to have the option to possibly run zbrush or similar software but keep the fps in gaming reasonable also. I will be upgrading my 1080p tv to a 4k 60-70inch tv soon.

 

Linus if by chance you end up reading this, i challenge you to make a coffee table pc!!!

What do you mean by what should go inside?

 

Also, each picture should have included the dag. Dag is win.

@dizmo sorry what is a dag? Im not super experienced with forms.

 

And i mean what would people build inside the "case" if they were to update a system like the one i have inside right now. I would like to build a new system in the table and im looking for insights :)

 

Thanks for your help!
