    Planned on benchmarking today but my internet speeds had other plans! Got around to touring my setup for 2018 though.
    Thanks for watching!

      it's damn good you should just submit it to randomfrankp , techsource , swashin man
      I like that you're set up is such a minimal one
      I wish I could have one of those
      Or at least a gpu man so hard to build my 1st PC I can't afford these prices dawg

    @g1zmo85 6 років тому +1

    You seriously have the cleanest setups, keep up the great work! I tried building in the NCase but found that my motherboard choice was limiting the cooler options too much so moved to a different case for now. Going to keep an eye out for a better board in the future and then re-use the case then as it is such a sleek little enclosure.

    • @James-wl4wi

  • @annasoH323
    @annasoH323 7 років тому +1

    So, what I would change is to take your setup and put it in my house.
    Joking aside, I was wondering if you had a speaker setup as well or if it's all headphone audio for you? I generally stick to my AKG/Massdrop K7XX's but I do have a Klipsch speaker setup for either ambient music or for when people aren't home and I can crank it :) (K7XX's aren't basshead phones). Also, ever since I saw your mITX cooler comparison video, I've been strongly considering if I should up/sidegrade my RVZ02 to one that can support a larger cooler and more fans without being bigger than my setup can support (though, the good thing about the RVZ02 is that I don't need a separate headphone stand).

    @pkerry12 6 років тому

    I have a LG 5k ultrafine thunderbolt 3 display and a 4k samsung display I don't think I could even do 4 video editing on any other monitors because of the colour perfection and being able to run a full 4k preview and have all my video editing tools open on one display on the 5k monitor. I like the look for the curved displayed but none of them come in 5k or higher.

      @MaZEEZaM 6 років тому

      I wish I could get it, sadly the bloody NBN Co designated my place as Fixed wireless despite us being on the side of a hill surrounded by trees and getting next to no mobile phone reception. I did have them come out to test and hopefully install the nbn but the people said it no where near met the minimum required signal strength. This is made all the more annoying as literally on my street but on the other side of the hill they have Fibre to the Node installed but we are classified as a different post code so yeah, im stuck with 250kb/s actual download speed with the exception of if I reset the modem which occurs around twice per day to get around 380-420kb/s actual download speed which happens to be half of what we got a year ago before the bloody nbn was installed on our street. Friggen Telstra wont fix the line and this is what we are stuck with. SHITTING LIBERALS, should have been fibre to the home.

  • @serban2139
    @serban2139 7 років тому

    I wouldn't change anything because I understand how it fits your needs, but here are my thoughts : 1- the 169 usb mic is a bit expensive, should've gotten a audio interface like focusrite solo and an XLR mic for the same price and better quality; 2- you might like your headphones, they are great, but not the best for gaming at that price, headphones are very subjective, so forget about this :D; 3 - ultrawide monitor is great for video editing, but it's bad(in my opinion) for the games you're playing csgo, rainbow six, pubg. You're just killing the much needed fps for the ultrawide that it's not even supported in these games?; 4- got the same desk, but the top is black, wouldn't change, lol.

    • @SatchmoBronson
