Ryzen 5950X, AMD Vega 64, 32 GB DDR4. Running KDE Wayland nicely for the past few weeks!
Is that an Akko mech keyboard I see in the picture? I have one and it’s fantastic.
It does look close but it’s a Varmilo Sakura!
Ah that’s why, mine is a Sakura as well (Akko)
Love the little lights winding their way across your desk!
My setup here. Turned out nicely.
As for the specs Its a Ryzen 9 5900x with 32GB ram and an AMD RX 6800XT for the pixel-cruncher. Running Garuda Linux on it, which has worked reasonably well for all the games I’ve played so far. Though i was still on windows 11 when i took the picture.
Steamdeck mainly
Endeavouros, 3070ti 12600k 32gb ram
Updoot for EndeavourOS!
Wow, that is quite a stunning setup!
Ty! it wont go even further here I guess, but my bank account seems to be happy it seems to be finished for a while. Or maybe I need another chair?.. Argh here we go again
Assembling a new one after almost 10 years :D
Still buying the pieces, but basically i9 13900k, Asus ROG strix Z790 mobo, 64 GB ram, NVME SSDs, Lian-Li Lancool III case, 1440p 170Hz monitor.
Still undecided about the graphic card, surely NVIDIA but haven’t decided which model yet (torn between 30* and 40* series because of the connector thing).
Linux MX is my main OS.
I play a lot on my Steam Deck these days, but the main battlestation is just a regular old upper midrange workhorse. R5 5600x, RX 6700xt, 32GB of DDR4 3600 and a few terabytes of NVME storage.
I’m still just using vanilla Arch because I haven’t found anything better for an enthusiast desktop.
I think the only part where I kind of cut against the grain is that I’m running Gnome. It does what I want with minimal tweaking and it handles my FreeSync monitor without any headaches. It also just looks pretty, and I’m not about to pretend I don’t like eye candy on the desktop.
EDIT: Forgot to shill for the case I’m using: A P-ATX. I really wanted a small form factor computer, but I also think ATX motherboards are a better deal than ITX, so this seemed like a good option. When I bought it, the only other thing that came close (from Thermaltake) was out of stock, so I ended up with this and I’m actually really liking it, despite it being a pain in the ass to assemble.

Workstation + Battlestation combined.
Don’t underestimate the 1070 Ti. Just finished Ghostwire: Tokyo (on dual booted Win 11) at 1440p 60 fps locked.
1070 TI is a fantastic sleeper card. I had the MSI Armor one that was undercooled, I kept the heat plate but removed the shroud and cooler and installed an Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV. Been using it since just after it released, and even after upgrading my gaming rig to an RX 6700 XT, I swapped the 1070 TI into my desktop machine, still runs and games great.
I’m gaming on a NUC 11 Extreme kit with a Sapphire Pulse Radeon 6700 XT running ChimeraOS.
Currently it is doing really well, though some games appear to not be using anti-aliasing and I’m not sure why. But aside from that I am super impressed with how well Proton and Lutris have come along!
Dual-core laptop.
i3-10100F, 32 GB RAM, Nvidia 1050 Ti, 23" acrylic Cinema Display
The tenth generation i3s are surprisingly capable, similar performance to the old staple i7-4790k with much lower power requirements. And I like running graphic cards that don’t need their own power cable.
It’s enough for Skyrim, Witcher etc.,
7950x3d, Sapphire nitro+ 7900 xtx, 32 gb ram, arch/kde/wayland.
Recently upgraded from r5 2600 and rx580 and it’s nice to be able to actually run stuff without tweaking to get a decent balance between performance and graphics
7700x 7900xt on a gigabyte b650 aorus elite. 3 nvme triple Pop os/Fedora/win 11 triple boot. Runs like a champ. I spend most time on Fedora.
I’ve been with the same platform since about 2015, save for GPU and disk upgrades. i7 4790k and a 6600XT, about 16 TB of slow storage and 3 TB of faster stuff. Running Pop for about a year, because my girlfriend and I share the PC (it’s a living room TV PC).
Tbh, I’m still really happy with it, though I’ve been eyeing a mobo/CPU/RAM upgrade. With the games I play I haven’t felt the 4790k too much --occasionaly a tweak here and there, but at 1080p and with the games I play, the GPU always gets most of the load.
My (non-work) laptop is running Arch and Hyprland. Kind of love it so considering a general switch with the impending upgrade.
If it’s affordable for you, I would say take a look at the NUC Extreme kits for a living-room PC upgrade. Custom small form-factor that was designed for standard GPU sizes (check the dimensions carefully - my Sapphire 6700XT fit the specs but was still a tight fit), and it’s fairly quiet even with graphics settings set up to high.
My wife has been happily playing her games in the living room this past week, and I’ve been able to sneak a few hours in between.
Thanks for this suggestion. Even though it’s a living room PC, I don’t really have a small form factor requirement – the machine itself sits in a rackmount behind the wall behind the TV. Thanks to that it also pulls double duty as a regular PC in the next room over, though I use it less over there. But I’m planning to upgrade with a full size ATX mobo.
A Lenovo laptop with external mouse and keyboard hooked up to a TV. Yes, I’m weird.
This Quazatron? I’ve always adored Quazatron in static screenshots in magazines. An isometric/3D-ish Paradroid?! <3! But I guess the Zedex was too alien to me to get around to it.
That Quazatron. :-)
Lovely little game with absolutely atrocious scrolling. Quazatron seems to be the Speccy version of Paradroid (which I never played, but will someday).
You can actually play it online. The controls are a bit weird for the WASD generation, but if you can get past that there’s a neat game in there.
They are the same game in many ways, but Paradroid has a flat top-down view with smooth omni-directional scrolling and can quickly become FAST AND DEADLY on any of the more dangerous decks…

Yeah I was saying the other day how if I really needed to I could probably just use the Steam Deck as my main PC. A bigger drive, a dock, bluetooth M&K I’d probably be pretty much good to go I think.
