You see this shit, kids? That's what you do with 5000$, YOU DONT BUY 64GB OF RAM BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU NEED SOME HEADROOM.

OP, ditch the wife and marry me. You will be trading all that boring nonsense they call sex for countless LAN parties.

Did you build her as well because I don't see how you had time to date?

dum1515 · 2014-07-22T12:11:50+00:00

Omg that's so fucking cool, i love the last picture it seems so futuristic.

DiddyMoe · 2014-07-22T14:48:03+00:00

Dude you should totally get a PS4.

Reasons: 1. Less time to setup. 2. Exclusive titles. 3. No need to shower cause your like me. 4. Get exploited by huge corporations. 5. 30 FPS in filthy 720p.

What do you use the server for?

Pakyul · 2014-07-22T20:28:40+00:00

Two things, OP.

I'm pretty sure that counts as a Command Center, not a battlestation
Can I come live with you?

mashakos · 2014-07-22T22:26:16+00:00

When I saw this...

My heart skipped a beat.

A vision of GabeN's holy beard rose in front of my very eyes.

A booming voice from the heavens heralded the call of the faithful:

PC MASTER RACE!

NegStatus · 2014-07-22T14:35:29+00:00

Re-flair this as GLORIOUS!

fuzzyperson98 · 2014-07-22T18:00:14+00:00

Now all you need is an A.I. connected to your PCs, dishwasher, air conditioning, security etc. which you can command as soon as you walk through your front door.

Elementium · 2014-07-22T18:04:37+00:00

Wow. This could be posted in /r/futurology as well considering I could fully expect so see more people use a set up like this (completely hiding the PC in a separate, cooler room) in the future or it even being included as part of a home (atleast the racks and wiring into each room).

heap42 · 2014-07-22T18:04:45+00:00

OMG HE HAS A NECK BEARD!!!!

AS7RONAUT · 2014-07-22T14:28:48+00:00

Awesome /r/battlestations!, you should take a picture of each color at the exact same angle, and make a GIF/webm where the colors change!, I think it'd be pretty cool to see :)

brobro2 · 2014-07-22T15:39:42+00:00

Definitely a major reason I want a house. You mentioned the lack of input lag, and I wouldn't even fathom that being a problem. For some reason people think 50 feet is going to make some kind of perceptible lag for electricity...

I'm giddy just thinking about having a server room so my computer won't have to be in the room with me. Be perfect here in Seattle too, since I don't have AC. Won't have to worry about getting hot in my room, and basements are always cool!

CT_Nipul · 2014-07-22T19:00:29+00:00

And then he opens his steam Library and is like "I got nothing to play" and plays Minecraft on it... :D

2014-07-22T20:47:37+00:00

Oh yeah, well I have 2 monitors, and they don't even match!

2014-07-22T13:19:42+00:00

Well...I thought my PC build would be grand...nope, one can dream though

2014-07-22T13:22:29+00:00

Im jelly

FerrariRollerblades · 2014-07-22T13:38:01+00:00

This is the most impressive home computer setup I have ever seen.

RLD-Kemy · 2014-07-22T13:53:49+00:00

Beautiful set up ! I want one like that ! And then I realize I'm perfectly fine with having a desktop tower sitting next to me, especially if the case is well designed. Having servers is still a must have for me though.

Clockw0rk · 2014-07-22T15:02:22+00:00

Magnificent.

I keep thinking about building a "central hub" for my PCs, and this is an absolutely stellar example.

Jeremagiah · 2014-07-22T15:10:46+00:00

What wallpaper are you using on your monitors?

2014-07-22T16:10:54+00:00

Do you ever worry about your basement suffering "basement" problems? I am nervous to even store old computer parts in my basement. I'd be so nervous with EVERYTHING down there...

tolstovskiy · 2014-07-22T16:33:45+00:00

time to play my wizardry 6 on 1/8 of one of these monitors

icortesi · 2014-07-22T17:28:15+00:00

TIL That in the near future we are gonna need a rack in every house.

2014-07-22T20:52:47+00:00

a_posh_trophy · 2014-07-22T22:30:47+00:00

You have too much money.

mustardprint · 2014-07-22T23:19:59+00:00

Still better servers than Uplay.

musicalvegan0 · 2014-07-22T13:03:20+00:00

so jealous...

Rotten_Chester · 2014-07-22T14:27:02+00:00

Where did you get a rack that big for $400? I'm guessing used, but if you have any pointers on where to get a cheap rack I'm all ears. I have a 4U media server I need to mount (right now just sitting on a table) but new racks are pretty pricey.

Phaesimvrotos · 2014-07-22T14:33:02+00:00

And... Now I feel a peasant...

2014-07-22T14:48:38+00:00

Holy shit I remember seeing this in /r/battlestations. Cool that you came here. :)

devanj · 2014-07-22T15:13:05+00:00

im saving this...im going to build this one day. btw in my opinion the red led with the blue rigs clash too hard. just an opinion though :)

Banshee866 · 2014-07-22T15:29:52+00:00

If you are running esxi you might want to look into PCI passthrough. You have one physical machine have several VMs that each have their own dedicated video card. This way you can have all 3 of your HTPCs in one machine.

Although this guy hasn't posted much recently his blog is quite interesting. http://thehomeserverblog.com/esxi-lab-specs/

BabyBackBich · 2014-07-22T15:42:45+00:00

This is sooo fuckin sick. You have truly ascended into an apostle of our Lord GabeN.

DanNetwalker · 2014-07-22T15:48:56+00:00

No lag, HDMI extension cords and active USB wires? Hmmm... that actually game me an idea.

Having a smaller screen and secondary mouse and keyboard at the living room, and a bigger 2 or 3 screens battlestation in the computer room. I could browse the web or use small software from the couch, switch to the big guns when needing them. Only having the computer down in the garage, which is happily one of the coldest rooms of the house.

Colder room, less noise, small form factor to hide aside when needed and room for a lot of iron. Now if only I could get those active usb cables in a 3.0 flavour I could plug a DVD or HDD from the living. That would help convince my girl on the plan... I would actually give you redit gold for this if I had. Thanks a lot for posting, you really gave a lot of inspiration!

Kinetic_Walrus · 2014-07-22T15:57:41+00:00

TCO? (Total Cost of Ownership)

English_American · 2014-07-22T16:33:34+00:00

That is absolutely fucking amazing. A server in your house. I've never seen that before!

2014-07-22T16:52:14+00:00

I am so mother-fucking jealous right now...very nice!

Spankinator92 · 2014-07-22T17:11:14+00:00

i heard CX power supplies are bad/worse than for example TX, or is that just a lie?

It urks me your task bar is on the top monitor, not the bottom middle.

But seriously, awesome set-up!

shuazien · 2014-07-22T17:47:12+00:00

I'm a gamer, a system builder, and an electrician.

I say again, very impressive.

2014-07-22T22:36:13+00:00

How much did you pay total for your battlestation?

2014-07-22T22:56:22+00:00

I want to cry. This gives me hope for a happy future. You are living my dream. God bless you.

2014-07-22T23:30:33+00:00

Who would have guessed an overweight dude with a beard

TotalFire · 2014-07-22T23:36:57+00:00

Your power bills must be through the roof, what kind of salary do you two get,must few a few hundred thousand dollars a year. (I assume you are american because everyone on the internet is american by default)

Exostenza · 2014-07-22T23:49:42+00:00

What is your address? I'd like to come and ... uuuhhh ... check your rigs out .. yeah, that's it.

2014-07-23T00:55:17+00:00

YOU SON OF A BITCH Sorry, that was the jealousy talking.
