I've pinched this idea from AV forums but I think there are enough of us on here who are enthusiasts that we can have our own little thread.
So to kick things of I thought I would start with my work in progress!
The computer itself has been built for a while but I have always wanted a Pintrest inspired Ikea Alex drawer/kitchen worktop made desk and this has finally been achieved using two Alex drawers and a Duropal maple block worktop (and an understanding wife )
I still need to finish the cable management tray which will sit underneath and find a suitable chair too.
As for the computer and peripherals, the build consists of the following -
Phanteks eclipse P400s case
Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 7 mobo
intel i3 6100 3.7ghz CPU
16gb Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2400mhz ram
Cooler Master 550W PSU
Deepcool captain 240 AIO watercooler
Sandisk SSDs
3 x Corsair 120mm fans for exhaust
Shakmods white braided cables
Dell Ultrasharp U2312HM monitor
Corsair K55 RGB keyboard
Wireless optical mouse
Spigen gaming mat with custom G1 Gaming logo
Things on the to do list -
Get a longer display port cable
Find another graphics card after the departure of my GTX680
Acquire an M.2 drive and put the SSDs out to graze
Tweak the RGB lighting within the case
Change the i3 out for a 6600K
Await the arrival of a pair of Edifier R1280T speakers
As we all like photos here's how it currently sits

Feel free to show of what you have as I'm sure we would like to see, I certainly know I would. Hopefully it will become a useful place to show progress reports and share hints and tips too!
