Gaming Rig Logistics

**Pho** · June 11, 2019, 1:12pm

Okay guys I have a logistic issue that hopefully you guys can help me with. I went all out this year due to some good business choices that lead to a new gaming rig and made it look aesthetically pleasing to look at from the side window tower. Only issue is that my desk is in the left corner of a room meaning if I put it on my desk the window would be facing the wall while if I place it on my right it would be blocking my tv mounted to the wall. I hate to see a new rig sit on the floor because I own a cat and all the hair would just vacuum it’s way into the tower.

My question is would I look absolutely ridiculous facing my tower with the back out in the open just so I can see the pretty lights of my tower? Or if you guys have any other ideas I would love to have my options open.

I’ll link my pc parts picker later for some likes along with some photos next week when all the parts have arrived.

Sounds like if you have the window facing you, then the back will be toward the wall correct? That should be fine.

Yeah which you think looks better. Red is monitor and white is tower. Excuse my poor doodle drawing.

You could always put the rig itself on a shelf so you can see it from any angle if you are worried about a certain seating position.

I’d put it straight into the corner, but it’s easy to rotate it 30 degrees if you want to try it both ways

Shelving wouldnt be too bad of idea. Ill check out some durable shelves after i try the two ways first like @skeeve suggested.

on a side note this is my first time building in about 10 years. anyone know if the AIO cpu liquid cooling comes with coolant?

**Bigdrunk** · June 11, 2019, 5:10pm

When I put my new rig together a month ago the cost of buying everything piece by piece and assembling it myself was less than 15% better than buying and having it built and warrantied. I ended up getting it from www.nzxt.com and have been very happy with it.

**Pho** · June 11, 2019, 5:23pm

did you have liquid cooling in your rig?

**Bigdrunk** · June 11, 2019, 5:28pm

Yup, got liquid cooling Kraken x72

**Pho** · June 11, 2019, 9:35pm

Did it come with coolant in the package?

**Bigdrunk** · June 11, 2019, 9:51pm

No idea they assembled it for me.

**Pho** · June 12, 2019, 5:29pm

Alright I’ll just amazon prime the coolant if anything. I’m excited for this build!

**skeeve** · July 1, 2019, 7:31pm

That’s like $150 depending on your build…

**skeeve** · July 1, 2019, 7:32pm

How did the build go?

**Pho** · July 1, 2019, 7:44pm

Silly iPhone won’t let me upload videos.

**Pho** · July 1, 2019, 7:45pm

Less colors tho. I adjusted to just pulse white.

Very nice man! What did you decide to do for placement?

**skeeve** · August 11, 2019, 10:54am

Woah. I just upgraded my 970 to a 1080 ti and feel pretty snazzy, but that thing is a beast!
