Update to the rig - it now has a place to live - work in progress though, still have flooring and some decoration to do - spent two or three days routing cables through walls and under floor.
Same PC spec as before, added GPU stabiliser underneath to combat sag.
Built a floating wall panel behind the monitors - taking some cheap furniture board from Wickes and covering it in vehicle wrap for a high gloss finish (cheaper than painting the panels and gives a nice finish with no brush marks or too much work)
Still have to do something with the wall on the right of the picture which is still the original wallpaper. Planning on wood covering the entire thing but the covid stuff has put paid to popping to the local place to get some wood to start it. Wifi/Alexa controlled RGB light strip top and bottom. Echo dot hidden behind one of the monitors.
Have ran extra cables for HDMI, spare power feed, displayport and a secondary ethernet just in case behind the panelling and in the wall cavity. Though I put conduit in to make it easy to change out.
Desktop is a Ikea VÄSTANBY dining table top - 1.7M across by approx 80CM deep, had to shave 1CM off it but fits perfectly in the gap. As this is part of the extension it is supported on two sides by solid walls with steel brackets - can stand on it quite happily
Gives me a lot of room compared to a standard desk size and is a lot deeper too.
Monitors on full motion brackets with gas lift.
Main monitor is Asus PG278QR (27" 1440P 165Hz GSync panel)
Second is a Lenovo LEN l27i-28 (27" 1080P 75hz Freesync panel)
Keyboard is Ducky/Varmilo MIYA pro Panda edition - Brown Cherry Keycaps. Waiting on a custom USB cable for it at the mo
Mouse downgraded to a G305 (from my G502) as I like the wireless lack of clutter and it feels lighter to me.
Xbox S Bluetooth Pad in grey and green
Audio is taken care of by a Schiit Modi 3 DAC with a Schiit Magni 3 Plus headphone amp. Connected to a set of Sennheiser Momentum 2 wireless but using wired.
All cabling is run through the walls to the desktop area from underneath for power feeds and LAN goes up the inside through the wall to the loft area to a switch.
Other side of the room is the comms cabinet that looks after everything:
Adapted an old wall mount 9U unit by adding some casters to it - do really want this thing sticking out the wall and makes it easy to scoot it out for adding stuff.
Top shelf is a i5 2520M based machine running PFSense for the network. It is an old marine computer, completely fanless heatsink case with an industrial approved PSU and motherboard inside.
Down from that we have my Ubiquiti stack - 1 x 8 Port with POE, Cloudkey Gen 2 and a 8 port non-POE switch. Cloudkey runs my CCTV system for the garage which is up the end of the garden and manages the network. Still have to add another camera for the front of the house and will be changing out my wifi stuff to Ubiquiti once WIFI6 comes along properly.
The two PDU power strips are attached to a APC 1500 UPS system.
To the left just out of shot is my old BeQuiet Dark Base 900 Pro case which houses a UnRAID server.
i7 3770 on a Z77 motherboard
16GB RAM
40TB of hard drive storage with 1TB of SSD RAID cache
Runs Plex, Sonaar, Radaar amongst other things for streaming to the various devices around the house.
