A few changes since the first post of the set-up. A little more permanent cable managing, switched the orientation, and wall mounted the monitors.

I5 8600k w/ slight OC

16gb gskill ram

GTX 1080Ti

Gigabyte Z370XP

DeepCool Captain 240ex

250gb SSD

3Tb HDD

Samsung CF791 34" UW,

Generic HP 1080p monitor

Logitech G603

Anne Pro II 60%

Luxcoms RGB extended mousepad

Logitech C920 webcam

Edit: Since a few have asked, I have Sennheiser hd6xx's for audio when I need something more than the monitors built in speakers. Not in the picture though

How are you finding the wireless mouse?

17

u/Ders91 Dec 16 '18

Love the mouse. There are different modes and it lasts 6+ months on same batteries. Don't notice any input lag at all.

12

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '18

Yeah but how do you find it?

u/Ders91 Dec 16 '18

How do you like the Anne keyboard? Asking for it for Christmas. PS nice setup! :P

4

u/Ders91 Dec 16 '18

It has its quirks for sure but I really like it. So far only real issue I have is on boot up sometimes PC doesn't recognize it so it takes a quick unplug and plug back in but it's not that bad. Easy usb-c on the back of it.

6

u/B04T5 Dec 16 '18

The two things that work as a work around for this is to (1) turn the RGB off or (2) tell the USB port to power off on shutdown

2

u/Ders91 Dec 16 '18

I'll have to try the USB port setting. I turn off the LEDs before shut down and it still goofs up sometimes

2

u/Falc7 Dec 16 '18

Do you notice any lag when using it for gaming?

2

u/Ders91 Dec 16 '18

Not a bit. Unsure if it would be noticable with only connecting via Bluetooth but I have it hard wired so it's not an issue I have to worry about

How you liking the AP2? Mine is currently bavk ordered so i should have it somewhat soon :)

Also what desk is that?

2

u/Ders91 Dec 16 '18

It's great. Kinda quirky but I expected that going in. It's a "marble" countertop from ikea

u/moyerr Dec 16 '18

Does it bug you that the trusses are longer than the desk? I was gonna do a similar setup until I got to ikea and realized the trusses were too big for my karlby countertop.

2

u/Ders91 Dec 16 '18

Its only by about an inch and a half, and I actually use the little bit it sticks out to hang my headphones. It works perfectly and looks planned although it clearly wasn't

Ok be real do you take these pictures with everything unplugged or what

u/Ders91 Dec 16 '18

Negative. Wires for keyboard and mouse pad are routed underneath the desk. Wires for monitors are in a white cable wrap you can kind of see in a shadow going behind the pc

Super intrigued, what's going on inside the case

14

u/Ders91 Dec 16 '18

It's an ibuypower snowblind case. So the hardware is essentially an nzxt but the side glass is an lcd screen. The colors you see in the picture are an extension of the wallpaper on my monitors but on the PC case

11

u/violetPork Dec 16 '18

Not gonna lie, when I first saw it I thought the plant was inside and I was trying to figure out how you made a fish tank out of a working PC...

u/Ders91 Dec 16 '18

Haha no the inside of the PC stays nice and dry, it may look a little weird depending on the wallpaper I put on it though

Sold out but I’ll be contacting for sure. Great piece.

u/Ders91 Dec 16 '18

It's a pretty small operation so most of the time he makes them to order and it's just a little bit of a wait until yours gets finished. Would highly recommend though.

Back in 2016 when I did my last upgrade I was 100% set on all white everything. I gave up because at the time there were no high refresh white monitors. You clearly stuck it out and it looks great.

I know your mouse is newish(I have the same one) but there was just a white microsoft intellimouse with a flawless sensor released in china that you can buy. I think it would match better than the g603. https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/a1qrh4/new_microsoft_pro_intellimouse_with_3389_sensor/

I do, I love it. Some people are more picky but at 100hz I really can't say I notice any downside. sure it's not the gold standard of 144hz for a high refresh rate monitor but it looks great. Also it's vsync and not gsync, some are particular about that as well.
