Hi TTG i have not posted in awhile, so i thought i would give an update on what i have been doing.
There is alot of pictures so they may take awhile to load.
2011
2012
End of 2012
1/4 into 2013
3/4 into 2013
Currently
Added third monitor
PC Specs
Aerocool Strike-X ST Devil Red Full Tower
Asus Sabertooth X79 Motherboard
Intel Core i7-4930K @4.6ghz ( Corsair Hydro Series H100i )
2x Asus GTX 680
2x 2tb WD drives
250GB SSD
1200watt psu
I must say that the current setup is currently still a work in progress, I have yet to buy some lighting and the third monitor for surround gaming has still not arrived yet.
Plus for being an 18 year old with limited funds i think i have done well.
Please share your opinion, have i upgraded or downgraded?

Confiscate wroteAt first, it looked like you downgraded. but really it just got a hell of alot cleaner looking. It looks great, especially since it's a work in progress. I personally would get some more colorful LEDs and place them all around, but that's just me. What else are you planning on doing with it?
My plan currently is to get rid of the horrible keyboard i have for a new one, i also have my third monitor ordered for 3 monitors, after that i plan to get rid of the 22inch tv and replace it with a 42inch, and for what you said about the LED's thats what i am currently looking at, cant seem to find any nice ones though?
Any ideas?

After a quick google search I found [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] . I would just stick a few everywhere, behind monitors, underneath the desk, etc. If you do mount the 42 inch, you should get a mount that can be slanted at a 45 degree angle and you can look up at it easily. The Xbox 360, I would stand up to give you just a little more room. I would possibly check out [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] for when you do get the last monitor.
These are great ideas, Problems though, My 360 cant stand up or the disk tray will not open its that old haha, and for the monitor stand i would really love that but sadly my monitor do not have mounting brackets

It's a nice setup buddy, has loads of promise to be an epic one. Just to many visible wires for my liking haha.
BTW: Nice speakers, i use them too. bbn)

Thank you, and about the wires i am thinking about cutting a bit of thin wood just to lay along the back of the desk to hide all the wires.
Also the speakers are amazing.

Yes i am hoping the 3rd monitor will do the trick.
The desk was of IKEA (Scotland where i live), not sure about anywhere else.

I think it looks pretty cool. I'm actually in the process of bettering my setup myself, and this gave me a few ideas. Thanks man, +Rep!
