Not too much has changed this past year. Just a bigger, faster Mac. Looks the same...

Also, totally unrelated, but why can I not use BBcode? Is that not a thing anymore?

This is my man cave and my place of work (at home)

 

I Rebuilt my Pc in October.

 

i7 Skylake, 32gb DDR4, 512gb NVME drive etc, very little to actualy take a picture of once its built.

 

In January I got myself a few new Christmas presents for it ...

 

The PHILIPS Brilliance BDM4065UC Ultra HD 40" LED Monitor, and I finally got a sound output worthy of my Rokit 8 Monitor speakers, a USB soundblaster X-fi coupled with a Musical Fidelity V90 DAC .  Wish you could hear how good it sounds,  next on my list is the KRK Rokit matching Studio Subwoofer, there's plenty of punchy mid-bass, but it would be nice to get the sub-bass too.

 

Pictures ...

 

My Desk now ...

 

 

The DAC ..

 

 

The Creative Soundblaster thingy (TBH this serves as a volume knob and gives a clean optical out, its other features are unused)..

 

 

 

The Rest of my office ....

 

Workshop area for repairs and builds ...

 

 

Mobile Devices ...  Surface Pro 3 (i7 / 8gb / 512gb) iPad mini 4 16gb LTE with Logitech keyboard, HP Stream 7, Lumia 930 (Plus iphone 6 128gb in my hand)

 

My 2 old Monitors are behind, I was thinking I may get 2 monitor arms and put them either side of my new one in Portrait orientation.

 

 

USB Hub/ Phone/ Printer / Paperwork etc zzzz

 

 

 

I've got cupboards full of paperwork and spare parts (mostly used) etc behind me but there's no need to post that here.

My work Battlestation, hasn't changed much (still the same HP Z800 with dual Xeons X5690 and 48Gb of RAM), except for the 27" monitors ^^

[SouthGate]

[Bryan R.]

Not much different than last year but I did upgrade to a 43" 4K. Picture is taken with my new Lumia 950.

[Ryoken]

 

Was talking the Photo for reasons and decided to post it here as well.

First, yes, that is a Kushan Mothership. Second, yes, that is a Mad Cat OmniMech.

 

Laptop off the edge is an older Apple MacBook Air 13".

Flanking monitors are Dell 23" Ultrasharps U2311H, centre is a 27" HP Pavilion 27cw.

Soundsystem is a Z5500, as I'm sure most people can recognize given it's been around for an age. Headset is a wireless Creative Tactic 3D Omega.

Keyboard is a SteelSeries Apex RAW. Mouse is a Logitech Performance MX. Also shown is a Logitech Harmony 700 Remote, which is one of the greatest things ever invented.

Controller is a Steam Controller.

1) I think that looks more like "The Pride of Higara" itself than the Kushan Mothership - there doesn't seem to be that empty space in the front, from where we can see it.

 

2) Where did you get that *and* the Mad Cat / Timber Wolf?

 

(You can surmise that I'm very much a "Homeworld" fan (looking forward to "Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak"!!) *and* a MechWarrior / BattleMech fan as well)

 

To sum it up: Well done!

The Mad Cat is a WizKids miniature/toy/whatever you want to call it, just happened to find in a comic/game/etc hobby store. I never played the WizKids game but I saw it and had to have it, as the Mad Cat is the iconic Mech of my time (I got into MechWarrior/BT with MechWarrior II). I'd kill for a decent small model of one, the TT Ones are too small, and the big one is too rare/expensive lol. I do have a TT version of the Ryoken (Stormcrow) also.. you know, to go with my name handle and all

 

Pride of Higara, Mothership.. close enough in my book

 

I want toe Deserts of Kharak, but alas it's probably gonna be a while before I can afford it

Also waiting on the new Battletech game by HBS

I think you and I have similar desks. Although, yours looks like a corner one where mine is just rectangular. How do you find having a glass desktop?

[Snoopy2005uk]

Heres mine.

 

[Tantawi]

Here is mine for 2016. Not much have changed since late 2015 other than the new wall mount for speakers, and upgrading my AC USB antenna from a Linksys USB 2.0 one to a Netgear USB 3.0. Oh and some better cable management  

[Cosmin]
