Wow, that desk/case is just so good, i love how you put it together!

@Xpander Nice, Shame no G-sync with you having a 1070! though then price goes stupid because Nvidia!

It is nice to use a high refresh rate monitor, I jumped from a 60hz to 144 which is somewhat noticeable, freesync is nice too

Cheers @dvd

I rarely boot into Windows 7, it’s mostly for the occasional Windows-only game which is becoming more and more rare for me.

Full list of hardware here.

Sorry for the (off-topic) joke but I've just found a recent photo of a real Linux battlestation:



For context it's from the French National Gendarmerie (which is actually using a modified version of Ubuntu). ^_^

No more dual monitor bezels, enter the Samsung CHG90 49". This puppy can do 3840x1080 with picture by picture mode. Some games particularly 2D ones render at the middle of the screen with black borders, however it shines for driving and flight sims.

We've got a couple of those screens at work. I felt more comfortable working with a couple of monitors with normal aspect ratios, but I guess I'm just stuck in my ways.

Looking at your picture, isn't it a bit awkward having some of the important game UI elements so far out of your normal field of vision? Don't you have to keep turning your head a lot? Of course it's just the game, not the monitor to blame for that. I can see how it's great for driving games though.

In some games yes (such as Guild Wars 2 in the picture) and sometimes it's better to run these at normal 16:9. One particular game that scaled really well is Stardew Valley:
