Hello, Everyone!
We just started a new discussion (a.k.a. sub-forum) called "Battle Stations".
Share your rig and its specs, or your entire Battle Station with everyone. We'd love to see it.
Here is my attempt at nice photos. Ignore the grain. Night mode does that on my phone for some reason.
Pic from last Christmas when I got one of the best gifts I've ever gotten ❤️
This was what it looked like previously
Not the best photo, but here's mine:
SHIELDS!!!
I consider my 'Lian-Li-X3D' a battle station of sorts. It's my go-to machine for gaming with World of Tanks and games of this nature. Now, it sits on a free-standing bar in my basement, but with the mirror behind the bar, I can watch myself gaming and correct my mistakes in real time.
A recent monitor upgrade really made a difference. I'm running the AMD 5600X3D CPU (from MicroCenter) and the 7900XT video card. Alas, I only got 16 GB of DDR4 memory with the motherboard/CPU/memory combo deal. But I love this computer. The old case is something I reviewed many years ago.
I'm sorry, I don't have permission from the Mrs. for a Battlestation, a Livingstation at best?
I'm redoing my battle fleet yet again, but I'll start posting pictures soon. Here is the latest build just finished. I'm going to put the 5600X3D I just bought into this. I have an RTX 3070 in it, which is sacrilege for me, but my son's friend and long-time LAN party participant was getting married and needed some cash. So I bought it and used it in this build. My rig over in the corner uses the black version of this Asus GT501 case, and that has a Ryzen 5800X and Sapphire Nitro 6900XT Limited Edition.
My Current Jank setup lol. I dont move into my own house for another week here where I'll have a dehumidifier and Aircon in my gaming room (chose the gaming room over the bedroom lol). So until then, I need to keep the side panels off and an extra room fan blowing on it ha. I also have a Primochill Praxis open test bench where I'm going to move everything over to after I get some space. That mini ITX case is a heat trap in this climate where the daily average temperature is 27 celsius (I'm Canadian). Anyways, it's hot, she's red-lined a couple of times already when I haven't had the Room fan blowing on it. Love this subforum though, lots of wicked Battlestations in here. Love the creativity. See below for my PC specs.
On Saturday (23 Dec 2023), I swapped locations for my Purrfection and Game-a-Tron-3 computers, so that I would have a good gaming machine upstairs (from the basement) in the den. You see, Game-a-Tron-3 now has a lovely LG UltraGear QHD 34" curved 160 Hz gaming monitor matched to it's recently installed Radeon 6700XT graphics card and the AMD 5600X CPU. It sure was a heavy lift for me going up the stairs. I think it must weigh around 60 lbs.
