Do you like the look of my new PC?

[Lynx122]

It arrived today! :) It's like twice as wide as my last one XD I've got it mostly set up now. I also want to get a new 4k OLED monitor but apparently the one I want is hard to get right now. I hope it'll be delivered soon though!!

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

GPU: Radeon RX 9070 XT

for those people who care :)

You can turn off the lighting too which is nice. I think I'd go crazy if I'd have to watch this all the time.

Tempted to ask the obvious question
How much?


Because I’m a big PC guy myself but this level of setup is still a pipe dream at the moment

[Lynx122]

I paid 1950 Swiss francs which is 2’351 us dollars atm.

[Zack-Bann]

That’s not so bad.
Definitely high end
Hope it runs well :)

I still don’t like that a PC can cost more than a car sometimes.
As a software engineer I find that “spiritually wrong”

[Lynx122]

It's doing great so far :) I just started playing Baldur's Gate 3. Yeah the price is manageable. I only buy a new PC every 7-8 years so I want to get something good when I buy a new one :)

Eh nice futuristic aquarium, but it feels lonely without fishes 🫤

[Lynx122]

I'll get some soon no worries :)

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Then I challenge you to make a post about this 😏

[Lynx122]

I'll do it when I buy the next PC then I'll turn this one into an aquarium ;)

"the one I want is hard to get right now" I wonder why. Are they made in China, by any chance?

I don't care what my computer looks like, I care what it does. But yours does look pretty, I have to admit.

[Lynx122]

Yes ASUS makes a lot of products in China but I don't know if that's the reason. There are places I could get the screen right now but I'd just have to pay more I chose to go with a cheaper option and I'll have to wait longer but I'm ok with it. My 16 year old ASUS monitor still works great. I'd like to see 4k Oled quality but I'm a patient person :)

There's no CD drive though? How do you play CDs or DVDs on that? Needs a mouse and a monitor.

[Lynx122]

You can stream any movie online. I had a drive on my last PC I never used it.

[Shiprex]

You stream it but it's not yours

[TheSpaceGnome]

Needs more RGB.
MOAR!!! O_O

Also don't get a 4k moniter, get a 4k dumb tv. They are cheaper, come in more sizes, have built in speakers, and have just as good picture quality.

[Lynx122]

Lol :D I turned most of it off now it's too much But it does look nice for a short time :)
In the size I want they only have 6 TVs and they're neither 4k or oled so it wouldn't work. But I got a good deal on my monitor and I think I'll have it within 2 weeks so no worries :)

[WonderingManII]

I think it is really cool! If I had more room I would build something like that.

[CaptainSmartass]

Fancy. Looks kinda like something out of a sci-fi movie.

Simples...

[OlderAndWiser]

Do you need that much computer?

[Lynx122]

Yeah to play games :) And I'll keep it for a long time. It'll be outdated less quickly if you buy actually good components :) in 2 weeks or so my 4k monitor wil arrive and then I can truly experience the time jump from when I bought my last PC :)

[anmari2001]

It's naked
This post should be taken down

[Lynx122]

XD I'll let the mods know right away

[Jeff51]

Yes. It's cool

[MisterWack]

Looks cool.
