Hello Famcrafters!
A while back, there was a thread dedicated to showing off your computer setup, and I want to start another that's updated! My setup has come a long way since I started Famcraft, and I would like to show it to you!
Note: Respond with any pictures/special information about your computer! I'd love to see where YOU play Famcraft!
Onto my tour!
Here you will see the setup in all of its glory!
I'll dig into each thing one by one, showing you the function of each and how I use it! Let's start:
Here you will see my semi-custom Dell Optiplex 780. As it came, I have upgraded to this:
Graphics card:
From: Nothing.
To: EVGA Geforce GTX 650 1GB GDDR5
CPU:
From: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @3.00GHz
To: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 @2.83Ghz
RAM:
From: 4GB DDR3
To: 8GB DDR3
Everything else is stock, and you can see the specs here:

Here you can see my 3 monitors, one at a 16:9 aspect ratio, and the other two at 4:3. These fit my editing/gameplay purposes fantastically, as I use the side ones for music/Skype windows.
Middle monitor:
Acer S200HL @ 1600x900
Side monitors:
NEC LCD92VX x2 @ 1280x1024
I have gone through quite a few different mice and keyboards leading up to the ones I have now, which were both passed down from my older brother when he got more professional ones. They're not very fancy, but they work like a charm and have suited my needs very well. I also got a custom CaptainSparklez (signed!) mousepad that I absolutely love. It's super colorful, and a pleasure to look at!
Mouse:
Xornet CM Storm Gaming Mouse
Keyboard:
Tt eSPORTS KNUCKER Gaming Keyboard
This is one of my favorite peripherals that I own. It's a Logitech G930 Wireless Gaming headset charged with 10 hours of battery (on a full charge) and REALLY packs the bass! It comes with an advanced equalizer that is extremely customizable, and I've had a great time using it for the past 8 months.
Now, I would LIKE to have an on-brand Xbox controller, but I decided instead to get a $20 rip off, which has actually suited me quite well... The only problem in these rip offs, though, is the bumpers. They break quite easily during shipping, so I don't exactly have a functional left bumper...
Gotta have dat 90's swiveling gray computer chair! So fancy...
I have had these Sylvania speakers for around 3 years now, and they've given me nothing but good sound the whole time. Definately a good buy, and I would totally recommend these to anyone looking for big bass and crisp, clean, treble.
This microphone, the Blue Snowball iCE, has suited me well for over 2 years now. It was $50, and can record REALLY well for what it is. I have it on a NEEWER Sissor-Arm Microphone Stand which I got very recently. It plugs right into it, and can hold it with ease (the mic is around 3 pounds!)
Gotta have somewhere to put mah juicy drinks! Can't have my throat running dry during those long livestreams
(Menchies is a great frozen yogurt place, highly recommended!)
Thanks for reading! I'm looking forward to seeing what your setups look like!
