Computer Setup

No offence but that monitor on the left is ugly as all hell

That monitor is from 2001 or something. It was like $600 at the time. Still works.

Certainly doesn't look the best, but I suppose it does the job as a secondary monitor.

The AOC monitor isn't cutting it for me either.

It was $120. 24" 1080p gets the job done. I'm not looking at how the monitor bezel looks or the logo or whatever, I'm looking at what is on the screen.

If you consider that average you have no idea....

What are the specs?

How is that case, OP? I can't really seem to fine one and this one looks nice.

Came here to ask this as well. I have a friend who wants to put together his first PC and he's on a small budget. He was looking at this case. Answer us, OP!

You should know that this case is pretty notorious for having little cable management. If I had known this when I first built the computer, I wouldn't have bought it. It looks cool but I still wouldn't recommend it until you have good cable management skills.

Thermaltake Commander MS-I Snow. I bought it to build my first PC for about $40, I nicknamed the rig 'the stormtrooper' because of its looks. It was ok... Fairly small, but it got the job done. It looks good at first but as the other guy said you kind of start to not like it. I ended up upgrading to a phantom 410 for watercooling.

My girlfriend at the time nicknamed my rig the same thing when I got this case for my first build.

Here is the case:

I'd put that subwoofer on the ground, maybe in a corner. bass frequencies aren't directional or something like that blah blah blah.

No offense to op, but those speakers are really bad to start with.

The speakers are pretty good for the money however a Sub on a metal desk like that must be HORRIBLE.

They are actually not bad. They are $30 at MicroCenter and are way better that the $20 speakers I got from walmart.

Well I had the Z313 a bit better than the ones OP have I have Upgraded to Z623.. I think those are a 15WATT system where mine is a 200WATT system. So if you are used to those I guess they are fine..

What case is that or more importantly how much was it?

Thermaltake Commander, I have one and at first when I got it i thought it looked really "cool"...now, not so much. I hate it personally.

I would get it if I was building a mid tower but at the moment I'm trying to get the cash for a ITX mini rig for moving around.

What Kind of Keyboard is that?

Don't let the lights fool you. It only a $35 AZIO L70 from MicroCenter. The description says that it has "Multi-Key Rollover to ensure multiple keys register correctly when gaming..." but that is total bullshit.

Oh Darn I've been looking for a new mechanical keyboard that's also backlit but haven't had much luck finding one with blue LED's and Red switches.

I would kill for that gaming setup. How much were the PC parts?
