Custom built 8 foot desk, total glass top, all components in the desk.  Thin white translucent Dupont Corian sides with LED for illumination.  Z99 MB, 32 GB RAM, custom cooled with acrylic tubing and 3 Frozen Q T-Virus cylinders.  Tri-SLI with tri-monitor setup (whatever I could get that would run tri-monitors in 4K).  A sound system that would rattle the poodle next door, studio headphones that'll probably cost 4 figures.  256 GB SSD boot drive. 2, 2 TB SSD RAID drives with 2, 2 TB SSD RAID NAS backup.  I'dl figure out the smaller stuff like the KB / Mouse later.

Gonna be a while on that DRACONEM, car inspection + mortgage = no new mousepad.... (I would be open to writing a review about it with my Level 10 mouse though       ....)

With the gold and exp weekend with Diablo 3, I've been giving this thing a most serious workout, and I'm very impresed, been at it for hours and my hand isn't cramping at all, still haven't found that sweet spot with the axis, but I'm sure I will.  And I still don't know why some are complaining about that DPI switch, I haven't accidentily hit that thing once, and I've been using the middle "back" button quite a lot, so it's not like I've been keeping my thumb away from the sides.

Ears don't hurt either with those Level 10 headphones (more impressed with those than I thought I'd be, to be honest, those things are really good).

Ugh, I have to eat.  Food, Diablo 3, sleep.   Well....nah, I don't need to sleep.

I love this case!

+100% bonus to gold find and exp all weekend on Diablo 3.  Know what my wife and I are doing all weekend!!

I'm ordering this via Amazon tomorrow.  Can't stand fabric mouse pads.

I love this case!

I love this thing, got it in red.  Heard SO many complaints about the DPI switch, and yes, this mouse will take some getting used to, but after you train yourself a little on it, it's amazing.  My thumb never hits the DPI switch accidentally, but I do find myself changing the DPI to suit whatever I'm doing.  My mother in law was looking at my build the other day, looked at my mouse and said "wow, that's an awesome model car".  She knows I'm a big NASCAR fan, looked at the mouse and thought it was a model NASCAR......no mom, that's a mouse.

Do NOT use this mouse with a fabric mouse pad, it sucks!! Don't know if it's the mouse design or the pad, but it "sticks" and doesn't glide easily over the pad, at least the one I'm using.  Ordering the DRACONEM pad tomorrow, thinking that will fix the issue.  Also, use a large pad, the small "pad" on the underside of the mouse, by the wire, gets stuck if it goes over the edge of the mousepad.

I love this case!

Hi, Happy Buddhaman
 
Happy Halloween~
Thanks for the professional suggestions ~
I used to use Level 10 M on fabric mouse, but due to the aluminum base sometimes it could cause unconformable movements especially around the edge. I think Draconem could solve this problem! 

I'm the guy with the Pledge Wipes, cotton swabs, and a bottle of rubbing alcohol, especially for my keyboard!  I'm neurotic with keeping it clean.  Keep positive air pressure in your case and it will cut down on dust collection.

Since this became a pinned thread I shall post in it.  A few quick tips if you plan on buying this mouse pad is the four rubber feet on each corner do not stay on if you move it.  I applied a small dab of adhesive in each one and have not had a problem since. As for the bungee, instead of adhesive I used double stick tape so you have the option to move it around. Also the mouse cord does not like to stay in the slot provided in the bungee if moved or tugged on. I have the Black Combat White mouse which comes with a pre-attached velcro strap for winding up the cord for storage purposes, which I then wrapped around the bungee to keep it together. I used a second piece of velcro to make sure it doesn't move.  Overall I love it!   It is well made and can be cleaned very easily. If you have any more questions about this mouse pad , please feel free to ask in this thread and I will reply asap.

After reading a lot of reviews about a lot of different headsets, I decided to get these in black.  I heard a lot of complaints about the base level, I don't know, maybe people wanted artificial base, or wanted to blow their eardrums out listening to EDM at some nuclear level, (nothing wrong with EDM) but I'm really enjoying these.  If paired with a good sound card or good quality on board audio (I'm using mine with the ASUS Formula VII MB, which has AMAZING on-board audio), they sound pretty #### good.  They are very flat, which I really appreciate, because I can control the sound easier than headphones that crank the bass and kill the treble.

One piece of advice, could use a clip on the wire close to the volume control.  The volume control keeps getting caught right under the lip of my desk, if I could clip that volume control to my shirt, would just make things a little easier.   Something I'll add myself.

I clean mine out every 6 months. I use compressed air, a vacumm and wet/dry wipes I completely strip the case down and take all the components out of it. Normally takes the better part of a day but it must be done!

Thanks Andy.  Still having an issue and I can't confirm what component is the troublemaker.  Posted it here ---->  http://community.thermaltake.com/index.php?/topic/751-water-30-extreme-formula-vii-rog-front-base-issue/#entry4235

That sounds stylish. I know some people do and some people dont. It just depends on the person.

Honestly, a CD drive, I only have one in mine now because I had some CD media to install, after that, it's useless.  I'm going to rip it out and keep an external drive for the few times I'll need one.  Might put this in instead when I do a total liquid cooling loop, since I'll have a dual bay available.

Everything is digital, games, music, movies, occaisionally I'll buy a hard to find a music CD, and hook up an external CD drive to rip it, or burn a copy of some downloaded music but that's about it.

Awesome and thanks for the info!
 
sounds like maybe both were trying to communicate via SMBus possible causing conflict.
 
Im glad its working well for you now!

I have a 5 foot desk, need a 8 footer when I add a third monitor.  Desk room definitely .

very nice looking build
Great job

Wow, that's very nice man! the fan LED's go very well with your keyboard! ditch the 650ti? what you going to get instead? or will you be SLi'ing the Ti's

I have the Level 10 GT Snow edition. I'm also using an ASUS Formula VII MB but I'm painting the armor white. Need a strong power supply because I'll be adding dual SLI cards (possibly dual processor) next year, along with a custom liquid cooling loop, that's why I'm looking at 1200+ watts (currently have the EVGA Supernova 1300 G2). Was also going to change out the cables with red single braided cables. Black works, but that white just pops!! I'm thinking on removing the side fan when I water cool and replacing it with some plexiglass, so the PSU would be visible. It's a work in progress.
