Really enjoyed building that guy. The GPU is still a bit louder when playing games then I'd like, not sure I'd go with a micro next go around.

Hey NCASE M1 & MBP buddy.

My M1 build isn't quiet while gaming, but I use headphones so it's no problem.

What chair is that and do you recommend it?

As mentioned, it's an Embody and they are quite amazing. Pricy, but amazing. Re: Noise; It's usually pretty quiet, but some newer games with high graphics you can hear the 970 really chewing it up. I've got it down to silent while not gaming though.

It's hard to admit to myself that I spend enough time sitting at my computer that the cost might be justified.

The Embody is amazing, although they are not the easiest thing to find used. If you spend a decent amount of time in front of a computer it is worth it buying a higher end chair that won't ruin your back and fall apart in a year.

Do not compromise on your chair or your bed, they are both way too important to cheap out on.

Super cheat $100 office chairs aren't worth it but my DXRacer EXTREME GAMING chair's pretty decent. It's held up to abuse. It's still not perfect and doesn't have all the ergonomic comforts, but it's also a big deal cheaper if you aren't ready to drop a grand on a chair. Of course, the usual advice in this thread is to try before you buy because there's no one-chair-fits-all.

I'm reasonably sure those plastic blobs are going to get stuck in your vacuum. :colbert:

New monitors came in.



They look way better in person than in the picture. Now I REALLY need a new graphics card - Chrome runs out of vRAM and crashes when trying to load an 11,520x2160 wallpaper.

A personal creation of mine that I've used for a few years now. iPad retina displays used as montiors, on bendy mic stands to position them wherever I want. Compact, high resolution, low power consumption (1.2mA 5V each)



I'm down to 4 (from 8) after I plugged the bottom row into the wrong Molex connector (12V instead of 5V)



I have spare adapter boards from the first prototype and need to buy replacement retina screens to feel whole again.

also great for never having to overlap windows, and programs like Maya where I can have different views per screen simultaneously and basically see more of what I'm doing without having to swap.

it's the replacement screen for a broken iPad... 2500 x 1500 resolutions (roughly I forget ), cheap ($65) per screen ($35) per adapter.uses 5v power which is already supported in several ways in your motherboard.

And then there's the scaling. With the right card you can push four of these plus 2 more DVI outputs for a total of 6 monitors per card

With a motherboard limit of two of such cards , you could have a setup of 12 screens from what seems like any old desktop rig.

The dimensions of the retina displays are the same as the iPad Retina you are familiar with. You can fit several of them in close proximity to your face.

They're engineered by apple to be great color production, and clarity IPS panels with excellent light production.

All told, along with basic EE know-how (such as soldiering and Volts and Amps) you can build this unit for less than $100 a unit.
