It's on a slope, so initially i didn't want it.

I might make shelving that faces to the left someday, but i need to do other stuff first.

Need ideas for the right-hand side (behind the chair and to the right of the monitor)...

They're on the other side of the room next to my bed

A "Spirit" shelf would be awesome. I wanted to do something like that behind the monitor and fill it with DVDs, BDs, Games and Software. Then on another shelf fill it with beer bottles.

Really should just make that corner into a little kitchen, get a kettle and a microwave...

That has WIN written all over it. Only other thing I could think of was for you to get a mod mat and make a very handy repair/build station for projects.

Hmmm, that would be cool but i'm trying to cut down on all the 'open' tech and try to have a mostly normal looking room without all the crazy builds and geek crap everywhere.

Might just get two more 27" monitors and put them round the corner, lol.

Here's the rig:

Interior shot. Not very clean wiring...


From the front, beside a velodyne subwoofer.


Here's some additional images of the setup:

Playing the game "Tera" with NV surround. There is around a 2cm gap between monitors.


My 2nd computer for internet surfing alongside a QNAP 459 Pro 2 (4x2TB).


A picture of the surround satellites installed (B&W MTs)


Took some time to plan and execute the setup with the contractor but it was all worth it in the end. I'm very happy with how it turned out.

Yeah, since I running a 3x 120 rad and a 2x 120 rad in just a mid tower I moved them externally. You can see the power cable and SATA cables running along side the PSU, I just run the cables out the factory SSD slot. Next year I might cut another hole i nthe case in a spot that better hides those cables and run them out a rubber grommet, or maybe bolt them to the exterior with modular ends that I can just disconnect (last idea would be sweet if I get really ambitious).

I wanted to run them externally anyways since I work on others comps now and then, so being able to easily swap HDD's without having to pull a side panel off was a plus.
