Christ on a stick! As someone who builds computers for fun all I see is fan control modules and cables. So many cables. Cables as far as the eye can see!
Could be daisy chained fans, I admit I don’t know how many you can chain together though.
Still gotta be a mess in there.
Why is this guy posing like he doesnt have the default windows background?
He’d displaying his lack of personality.
I’ve gathered some like that. Or I’ve misunderstood and people are easily led morons. One or the other.
Why is he posing like he doesn’t run Windows 11?
The tech bro is elxokas, a youtuber from Spain
Old one was space efficient af though
Still has a keyboard that’s way too big though. See him having to use the very corner of the mouse mat in order to use it comfortably.

My experience is like a mirror opposite; nearly all mechanical keyboards are less than 100%, and my productivity would nosedive if I had to hunt and peck numbers.
You might not be wrong overall, but I thought it was funny that my anecdote is fully the opposite.
I need to do a lot of number entry for my work, and the southpaw TKC CandyBar saved my life. I liked it so much I immediately bought a second one just in case something happened.
Then I got a Prime_E. I think people over estimate how hard it is to adjust typing habits to accommodate layers and toggles!
Maybe? I’ve never touched one and I’m not rich or idle enough to buy into an entirely new paradigm. My desk is the size of a coffin as well, so I’ve got to fill it up with something. Might as well be a huge keyboard that sounds like a box of staplers falling down the stairs.
Never knew those existed, really cool. I’ll try to remember that and consider one once my old one dies, which by the looks of it will take another decade.
It probably depends on use case. There are plenty of situations where having numpad on the right makes perfect sense for right handed people.
But I’m an oddball who is very much right handed but uses the mouse left handed because my right wrist got so much wear and tear from early life data entry work.
I’ve done enough data entry in the past it just seems unnatural to have a left ten key. Typing hex numbers seems like it would be a major pain.
I recently got a 80% keyboard without numpad and bought a separate numpad to put on the left side of the keyboard.
Game changer.
Yeah I started with a TKL from WASD Keyboards (which seemed like a company that was doing okay, but just suddenly vanished) and it served me great for a year or so and it’s still a pretty good keyboard, but I had one look at the ZSA Voyager and I knew I had to have that baby. Only 52 keys, column-staggered, split keyboard. There’s so much space on my desk now. I can even unplug one half and get even more space for my mouse if playing FPS games. Programmable layers, LEDs, multi-function keys. It’s got the works. Highly recommended piece of hardware IMO.
You can pry my tenkey from my cold dead fingers, haha
Get a keyboard with layers. You’ll thank yourself later. So much damn desk space open to anything. A cup of juice. The mouse in between the two halves of the keyboard (if it’s a split one like mine), no need for extra buttons that take up so much space just sitting there 99% of the time.
The solution is a desk pad. If 100% of the desk is a mouse pad you are never in the wrong spot.
Doesn’t really address my point. If your keyboard forces your hand too far off the side… Even if your mouse has a ton of mat space over there, you still have to reach way over there.
I have my mouse in between my two keyboard halves. Off to the side if I’m gaming, and using only one half of the keyboard, the other half unplugged, or just moved up and out of the way.
Wait wtf, is this paint on the right computer screen?
paint.NET most likely. Unironically it is a really great image editor and has some cool tools for pixel art.
Meanwhile I’m on GIMP spending 2 hours searching for the right tools to do something simple :(
Random tech bro cabinet is Corsair Obsidian 1000D:
Cant even look at these cases anymore. Its the <20L ITX life for me.
It’s a bit like alt med quacks wearing a white lab coat and carrying a stethoscope while they prescribe magical water or wave coloured crystals at you.
I keep getting caught off-guard seeing current photos of Torvalds. He’s just like…a guy.
And honestly I’d rather my mission-critical software be written by “just a guy” than by whoever Mr. Battlestation is down there on the bottom.

I got a hydraulic mechanical standing desk (smaller area), but I also worked with two old nightstands stacked on top of each other, with a larger chipboard board on top for which I did the edge banding.
Are the desk legs actually angled in the bottom picture or is it a weird perspective thing? If it’s on purpose, why?
Dunno but it makes sense, more space for your knees when you swivel close to the edge.
They’re not common at all, but I prefer a desk suspended from the ceiling with chains or whatever - complete and total freedom for the legs.
Feels like you’re wearing nothing at all?
aesthetics, i would guess. everyone has different tastes.
El puto Xokas xDDDD
Imagine have a nice custom setup and using the default Windows desktop. Weird flex…
I can’t imagine spending thousands of dollars on a setup and then running windows on it like it’s in a some office cubicle somewhere.
The effort to change from windows is greater than the continued use of windows when i already have solutions to the trash windows puts out.
I couldn’t even be fucked unraiding the drives my laptop came with, even though I don’t want them in raid it’s just… eh, it probably won’t be an issue before the laptop gets replaced in 5 years
You are likely overestimating the how difficult it would be to just use Linux. Just dual boot until you stop booting windows.
The thing about Linux is no one is fucking up the OS on purpose.
You are underestimating how long it takes to do anything that requires internet (everything does). There’s 0 point booting Linux without games, and games take days to download, sometimes days per game. Also, I already fixed windows, so the effort is entirely wasted.
Fwiw you don’t need to redownload your games. You can just play the windows games on Linux.
Removing the drives from a raid array wouldn’t be that complicated. This is just laziness at this point.
I kind of agree on using Windows though. My two main machines are dual booted for a reason.
Removing raid is a multi month problem due to losing all the data, or a few hundred in new SSDs to backup stuff. Removing raid the moment I got the laptop would’ve been the smart idea, but I didn’t do that so I’m not gonna do it until I get a new laptop.
Why would you buy SSDs for backup purposes? Buy an external hard drive, they aren’t expensive. You should be making backups anyway so it’s not really an excuse, go and buy a NAS or something if you have no backup solution at all. Yes you should have done it right away if you were going to do it. Having RAID 0 as your only copy of valuable data is an awful idea. What on earth are you doing?
If I’m buying any new drive, it’s going in the laptop so I get more total storage.
I don’t have a home network so a NAS isn’t a great option.
Raid 0 is what my laptop shipped with for… Whatever reason MSI had. And I didn’t bother to change it when I probably should have knowing that redownloading all my data on a connection that doesn’t reliably run HD video is a miserable and long process.
I have important paperwork backups on my phone, and/or emailed to myself but literally the basic process of downloading and installing steam is slow as hell and means the internet can’t be used for anything else.
How are you getting Internet without a home network?
But mah system is up-to-date to run Windows the Eleventh!
But standing desks are awesome, I too would pick the top over the bottom setup
Never tried them, but I feel like I’d get tired after a couple minutes
The idea (at least from what I’m getting) is to be able to switch posture throughout the day, not necessarily to stand up the whole day. I’ve tried one for a couple of days and it seems nice, I just haven’t gotten around buying one for home yet.
do you have a walking desk? yes WELL YOU BETTER GO CATCH IT
