I have a nice desk, but got banished temporarily to the loft on to an old table while people needed to study...and it's more effort for significant other to come in and chat....so I've stayed there coding, repairing, doing electronics

Why have pizza when you can have biltong, the food of the gods!
How do you know what biltong is OMG???????????????????? :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :))

You'd be surprised. Biltong is pretty popular in the UK :)

The keyboard kinda looks like tetris
I have monitor envy!.
What video card is needed to drive that thing in UT2004 at full frefresh rate I wonder? Not sure my RX580 would be up to the job...
It's a 3080ti. It's so, so different playing an fps at that size - it's like relearning UT from scratch...probably not a bad thing :D
RTX 2070 works good with my 3440 x 1440, 100 Gz monitor.
GXT 770 was not enough, had to buy a new card after i bought a new monitor.
Make sure you adjust FOV when you change aspect ratio.

Which FOV would you recommend - it's at 100 at the moment and tough to play.
Try 125 first, if it's too much go 120.
oh that's much better, thanks. found the HUDx scaling setting too so all is good again :)

This is my man cave/office.
I decided to convert part of my garage into a sound-proofed/insulated office to allow me some personal space when working from home, and to crank up the volume without annoying the neighbours.
I was going to start a build blog, but haven't had much time recently, so here are the main materials:
1000 Gauge Damp Proof Membrane all around
100mm Rockwool all around.
ProSound SoundBoard 4 - Walls
ProSound SoundMat 3 Plus - Floor
Acoustic Plasterboard - Ceiling
25mm Celotex - Ceiling.
420w Infra-Red poster for heating if required.
Underground armoured Cat6 cabling into switch.
Underground armoured SWA cabling into CU.
Customer UPVC door with ABS Avocet lock.
3 x compartment trunking.

ASUS PN51 NUC
Razer Huntsman V2 Keyboard (optical switches)
Razer Basilisk v3 Mouse
CO2 monitor (this is a sealed room, so I have to keep an eye on the levels if I shut the door, or else keep the door open slightly.
ThinkPad Hybrid USB-C with USB-A Dock. Handy for quick switching between work and play PC's

Running a Ryzen 9 5900x and a Ryzen 5 5600x (on mine)
Asus mobos. X570-p
16 gig ddr in both Corsair ddr4-3596
Radeon RX6600 in both
27 inch MSI (mine is broken after two years, can't handle 144hz anymore, I advise against MSI) on mine and 24inch Ilyama (it's actually pretty good considering I'd never heard of the brand before)
Corsair modular PSUs in both
MSI known for being lower end spectrum of computer hardware; surprised you have not come across Ilyama; highly rated in corporate circles for general graphics applications and gaming (sturdy; I have had 5 of these; 2 at home (gaming mainly) and 3 at my last place of work for general computing and spcialised graphics applications. Sorry, but I would never have gone down the MSI route for any of the uses :)
At the end of the day; all is down to personal preference and finding what is best for you!
Aye cheers plassy, my dad had an MSI mobo once - had no end of issues with it - hence I only do Asus these days - always reliable and drivers are easy to find :)
Aye my missus has a black hawk edition one only 75hz but is better than my 144hz!
Good point I agree with you, don't do MSI! I bought a Cyrix 333 pentium equivalent once - biggest waste of money I ever tried to save!!
Aye true, but it's always good to have some reviews from people you know or associate with online - you know they are not a bot :D
After a lengthy debate with myself, I've decided to push the boat out and build a gaming PC.
I already have a gaming laptop but it's only used that for browsing and bog-standard PC tasks.
My current UT machine is an ASUS PN51 in an Akasa silent case (Radeon Vega 6 Graphics).
Most of the components will be here today/tomorrow, but I have to wait until mid-week for the GFX card.
Should be up and running by the weekend :)
Case: ASUS TUF Gaming GT502 (white)
MoBo: ASUS TUF GAMING Z890-PRO WIFI
PSU: 850W FSP Fortron Hydro TI PRO ATX 3.0 80+TITANIUM
CPU: Intel Core™ Ultra 7 265K 20 cores
RAM: CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 64GB (2x32GB) 5200MHz CL40 Intel XMP iCUE Compatible Computer Memory - White
GFX: ASRock Radeon RX 7800 XT Steel Legend 16GO, 16384 MB GDDR6
Storage: Samsung 990 PRO NVMe M.2 SSD, 2 TB, PCIe 4.0, 7,450 MB/s read, 6,900 MB/s write, Internal SSD
CPU Fan: Noctua NH-U12A, Premium CPU Cooler with High-Performance Quiet NF-A12x25
Case Fans: 4 x Noctua NF-A12x25 5V, Premium Quiet Fan
When completed, it should look like this.

Looks good Grim :)
Asus is the best for mobos, in my opinion, less faff and never had any problems!
M2 drives are soo much quicker. I've still yet to trasfer windows onto my faster M2 drive, just cba for the past 2 years!
I always go for modular PSUs these days - so I can lose all the cables I don't have plugged in!
Got my missus a 5900x for xmas, twice as many cores as mine - really notice the difference on multi-threaded games! Good choice, even though I'm not an intel fan :)
Curious to see how much difference the ram makes compared to 16 gig, that I have in mine.
Everything should have been here by now, but Amazon sent cables instead of case fans...TWICE!!!
They also sent the PSU with a Euro plug rather than UK, and I've had to buy the CPU from Currys Business as Amazon have let me down with delivery. I'm not concerned though, as those nice customer service agents at Amazon are doing the needful and have told me not to worry. Bezos can bite me!
I hated the bad old days of having a vipers nest of cables inside the case. As well as restricting airflow, the molex and sata cables were an eyesore. Shouldn't be an issue on this case, as it's dual compartment and the PSU is kept separate from the MoBo, GFX etc. Only problem with that is that the case is a PSU's depth fatter than a regular case as it mounts on the side rather than at the back.
I used to opt for AMD chips when building a machine, as AMD were traditionally better suited to gaming and Intel fared better at number crunching tasks, but either would be more than enough for my needs.
The GFX card arrived today. I haven't take it out of it's ESD wrapper yet as I don't want it covered in drool.
If this doesn't up my game, I'm going back to MS Solitaire :)

I hate to bring the bad news, but since 13th gen(2022 i think) Intel is good only for heating and electricity generation.
Yeah. I wouldn't go Intel unless I wanted to use it in place of a boiler to heat my house.
It won't be running any warmer than room temp' for a while yet as Amazon have again sent 3 x cables instead of 3 x case fans...f'n nuggets!!!
Aye, IDE cables were even worse. I only realised the holes in the metal plate where the mobo is mounted are cable runs (in the last decade). I was a bit slow mentally!
Hope you get it sorted soon Grim.
Ordered an air purifier from amazon last year. They accidentally sent two instead of one. In effect it was buy one get one free, in the end. They didn't want the second one back.
It's about time I posted here, this is the setup I built about 2 years ago (couldn't post the pics (as a nab))...

I thought I should show it as it is before I change/upgrade again. The photos don't do the PC justice as it's all gold lit (camera colours are off) with gold trim on black. Sometimes I turn off the LEDs as I can take it or leave it :) Oh, and I play UT2004 in 4K Ultra settings to make it worth my while having the PC in the first place heh.

Oooh a lefty!
That's a sleek looking setup you have there.
I'm also liking the monitor and desk. I've a new monitor on its way, I could be swayed into buying a new desk though :)
I'll be mounting the GFX vertically, just waiting on the cable getting here.
It's great playing with all settings cranked up to 11. Harobed really needs someone to trim the grass at the base.
What are you looking to upgrade to?
Yes, I'm a lefty Grim and have to grin and bear the higher iq over righties :)
Thanks for the helpful edit :D
Next up it's a new monitor, a 49" or 55" (Odyssey G9 or Odyssey Ark). I couldn't go back to a non curved screen after my current one. I'll do a lot of research though before taking the plunge and committing.
Then, it's an RTX 5090 once they're available and prices go down a bit. My mouth's watering at the ROG Astral Dhahab because it's gold but I dunno will I ever be able to source it (or how much it will cost).
https://rog.asus.com/me-en/graphics-cards/graphics-cards/rog-astral/rog-astral-rtx5090-o32g-dhahab-edition/ (https://rog.asus.com/me-en/graphics-cards/graphics-cards/rog-astral/rog-astral-rtx5090-o32g-dhahab-edition/)
If I cant get it I'll go for nVidia's Founders Edition as it'll take up a lot less space.
Lastly, a switch to AMD's 9950X3D and a motherboard to go with it but I'm not too pushed about this particular upgrade for now.
I have to check the forums to see if there's a thread to donate old hardware as I tend to have a lot of bits and pieces gathering dust (even Noctua fans I no longer need) :'(

I'm liking the colour scheme you have going on there, Grim and the whiteness of everything (damn you're tidy hehe). For my build I really wanted a white pc with beige noctua fans, but I found it too difficult to source white parts at the time. Any particular reason you went with the Intel cpu this time? (just curiosity) and from my experience, you really can't go wrong with asus mobos - They've lasted me years over the years ;) A job well done by the looks of it, enjoy! ;D
No real reason for going down the Intel route other than Quiet PC were selling a model called Serenity Ultimate Gamer i18 and it came with an Intel chip installed. I figured I'd build one with similar spec' and source the parts separately.
This build has really helped up my game, it has propelled me from a crap player to a mediocre one in a short space of time. It almost feels like I'm cheating O:-) >:D O:-)

I got a test intel nuc i5-7260U with 24Gb and 640gpu.
When I start unreal it goes in chopper mode.
This compared with my "production PC" is a terrible game experience.
So I can imagine that your new system would and should make progress. >:(
"mediocre" maybe, still better than me imho O:-) :))
Just picked up a new monitor the MSI one I had can no longer handle higher refresh rates.
Can't remember who suggested a curved monitor but it seems a really good spec for £120
AOC C27G4ZXED .
Haven't tried it with UT yet...
My setup has been altered a little bit since this post:
My keyboard is now a Logitech K270 Wireless Keyboard - my SteelSeries keyboard was bought used off of Vinted, and it unfortunately died by static(?)
My mouse is now a Logitech G203 Lightsync - my original mouse packed in after being used for about 6 years.
I also have the best addition to my setup :D
