Computer Setup

Those wallpapers are cringe worthy. Nice setup otherwise.

Yeah he lost me at porn station.

Why exactly are they cringe-worthy? It is my understanding that wallpapers should be something you enjoy looking at...

Dude, other people may not find them quite as nice as OP.

And? If you enjoy something, stop being afraid of what other people will think of it!

Hah! A back-handed compliment is still a compliment. Thank you.

Do you ever worry you're going to offend anyone by having those backgrounds? Definitely not judging because...

Nice setup, what are the monitors?

2x 30" Dell 3007wfp and 2x 20" 2007fp (I forget the exact model numbers). I later upgraded to 3 of the 30s.

I'm 42 and quite happily married to a beautiful woman who happens to be a retired fetish model (and bisexual). So the other person in my home (no kids) is just as appreciative of my choices in desktop as I am. Family members and friends are very much used to me and my lifestyle by now, so no... it's really not an issue. It's been this way since 2000 for me. ;)

Wow, your life must suck.. <sarcasm>

A-ha! Thanks for the insight. I'm also married, 37, and in a child-free home. I could probably get away with more than I do =)

Barring sterility, how do you guys manage not to have kids? I ask because a lot of 20 year olds can't seem to not get pregnant

We talked about it before marriage and have just been careful about birth control since we first started dating.

Mind if I ask what you've been doing?

You sound like me when I was that age =)

Dear god where did you get that wallpaper? DO WANT

If you get offended by beautiful naked women you should study biology and why we as man are attracted to such.

No pornstation is complete without a toilet paper holder

As nice as that would be, you'd ruin yourself if you had one. If you don't have a need to go and get some toilet paper or something, you'd just fap 24/7.

Thats a really lovely desk, suits the room and monitors/peripherals wonderfully. I wouldn't mind knowing the specs, I'm looking into setting up Eyefinity in a few months with 24" monitors and hopefully I'll run BF3/4 on max.

Without pulling up the old pcpartpicker link, here you go:

Sounds like you got a great card for your needs. I'm looking at getting two 7970's in the hopes I can run FPS games at max settings at 60+fps. I haven't actually seen many threads on Eyefinity vs. Nvidia Surround but it's nice to hear both have really good support for three screen setups.

I like it! I would like to build one just like that, how much did it cost?

The desk? Since my father built it for me, I only paid for the cost of materials. He would make another like it or similar for somewhere in the $13-$1500 range. There's a lot of oak there. If you're in the Chicago area, I can put you in touch with him.

I'll take care of you when I get home from work, friend. It's in surround mode, so it's a single 5760 desktop. I just photoshop three images together.

Looks great. Really suits the monitors well.

Do you like having the monitors raised up like that? I'm looking for a new desk at the moment and was thinking about getting one with a shelf like yours.

I'll say this: it's new and different. Prior to this, I had a desk with a similar shelf, but it was about 1.5 inches lower. You wouldn't think it would make a difference, but it does.

It's going to be awkward if your mom walks in your room
