Under the desk (excluding ups and other pc's)

NXZT 410 Chassis
Antec 750W
Core i7 4970
16GB Corsair Ballistix
Sapphire R9 280X Dual-X 3GB OC Edition
2 x 128GB SSD
2 x 1TB Spinning Rust
1 x 500GB Spinning Rust


A bit on the monitors:
My monitor setup was the hardest purchasing choice I made.

I was deciding between a 4K UHD vs the current setup, the UHD's have some operational issues but the rotated 15.6" monitors NEARLY match the vertical resolution of the primary monitor and they can plug directly into the usb 3 sockets on the main monitor, so this is working for me. Vertical pixels are my most important pixels, otherwise I think 3xFHD panels would have been better for gaming. 2560x1440 is sexy as hell though and I'm managing on 1 graphics card (concerned my PSU isn't strong enough to drive an extra card).

And for those wondering, 1440 vertical resolution gives you ~43% more workable space when doing code, the portrait mode usb monitors are ~34% better than Full HD for my needs.

The main rig is getting a bit old but its specs are decent

AMD Phenom II Black Edition 955
8GB DDR3 RAM (Can't be bothered by the manufacturers)
Asus Crosshair 3 Mobo
2 x 2TB (1X Seagate 7200, 1 X WD Green hippy thingy)
1X NAS Seagate 4 TB
1x 128GB Adata SSD
1x Hauppauge HVR 2200 - WinTV doesn't load so this is pretty much useless
KB I picked up in NYC in 2010, it lights up and says Saitek :D
Mouse, I don't even know the brand, it just works lekker!
Monitor 1: Samsung BX2331 LED Full HD DHCP Monitor
Monitor 2: Samsung LA26D400 - some old HD ready TV that I use as a second monitor for convenience sake
Newest additions are
EVGA GTX760 SC Edition 2GB GDDR5 (Newegg) (May 2014)
Corsair CX750M 750W modular PSU (Best Buy) (May 2014)

Laptop (Not the one in the picture)
Packard Bell MH45 (Purchased October 2009)
Core 2 Duo
4GB DDR2 RAM
1366x768 Display
Adata SSD (best thing I've done to it)
Old 320 gig put into a caddy and replaced optical drive

Laptop still going strong!! :D :twisted:

Tablet - purchased an iPad in December 2011 also in the US of A to see what all the hype was about, I use it as a video streamer for when I'm in the shower, a remote for VLC when I'm in bed and an e-reader when necessary

Phonograph - given as a gift thought it looked nice, sounds good too!

How did you do it? Because Newegg does not ship to South Africa?

Here is an older pic of mine from +- a year ago. I haven't changed anything in the pic except I moved to a different city and I got rid of that ugly ADSL router with the antenna that could probably be used to communicate with Martians





Specs:
Asus P8P67-M Pro motherboard
Intel Core i5 2500K @ 4.0GHz
Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB 1600 (8-9-8-18)
EVGA GTX570HD
CoolerMaster Storm Scout with LED strips to accentuate the lighting
Corsair H80i
OCZ Agility 3 60GB for Windoze, 1TB for storage and 500GB for installing stuff onto

I think that's about it?
