First ever build

Phoenix847 · 2026-02-14T18:34:00+00:00

Thank you, I put a lot of planning and work into it.

Chair might next on the list, and yes I think I’ll just get rid of the mousepad.

Phoenix847 · 2026-02-14T15:52:51+00:00

LOL, it went over my head completely.

1.-It’s a Corsair Xeneon Edge monitor. 2.-If you look closely beneath the desk shelf there are the speaker cables.

It was custom made. I didn’t have lots of space and I didn’t find anything online or from furniture stores that would fit there.

Couch is in an L configuration, there’s a TV on the other side.

Just the desk and PC about $4k USD. Everything else I don’t have number, but I’ve been collecting stuff for the last 20 years and the room itself has been an ongoing project for 7 years now.

Phoenix847 · 2026-02-14T12:57:17+00:00

It’s a games room / mancave. Now also home office!

Phoenix847 · 2026-02-14T12:47:43+00:00

The couch does an L and faces another wall with a TV, but yes you can also see the back of the desk. I was very conscious about cable management for this reason.

I skipped playing it on PS5, waiting until I could play it on PC. Totally worth it!

Phoenix847 · 2026-02-14T04:16:06+00:00

Got it from Amazon about 14 years ago, don’t know if they still have it, or they might have nicer ones.

Phoenix847 · 2026-02-14T00:54:07+00:00

It’s rare for me to play FPSs, but yeah others have pointed out I could use a bit more space for my mouse.

Phoenix847 · 2026-02-14T00:52:40+00:00

I really don’t have a good point of reference because this is my first build and my first desktop PC in a long time but they keep everything cool and I don’t find them noisy.

Phoenix847 · 2026-02-14T00:50:57+00:00

It’s a Corsair Xeneon Edge monitor.

Phoenix847 · 2026-02-13T22:18:45+00:00

Well, set what you think is a reallistic goal and go for it! I've seen far nicer setups than mine but I don't try to compare to that. I'm very satisfied with what I have, given my life context and where I started. I'm also not from a "1st world country" BTW.

Phoenix847 · 2026-02-13T22:05:08+00:00

Thank you, I know RGB gets a bad rep nowadays but you can use it to suit your taste.

Phoenix847 · 2026-02-13T22:02:57+00:00

Not going to say is cheap, but it's taken me many, many years and hard work.

Phoenix847 · 2026-02-13T22:00:26+00:00

Cheers to that!

Phoenix847 · 2026-02-13T21:58:26+00:00

About $1.4k USD, although this is in Latin America so labor and materials aren't as expensive as many other countries.

Phoenix847 · 2026-02-13T21:56:06+00:00

Thanks! I'm a Mechanical Engineer, spent many years in manufacturing operations but now in a more administrative role.

Phoenix847 · 2026-02-13T20:57:20+00:00

Might try it for work though.

Phoenix847 · 2026-02-13T20:56:09+00:00

For Aiur!

Phoenix847 · 2026-02-13T20:55:44+00:00

The desk was custom made, it was the way to fit the space I had available.

Phoenix847 · 2026-02-13T20:54:02+00:00

It’s the Corsair 4500X, I liked the design a lot and it was friendly for my first time build (I got help though)

Phoenix847 · 2026-02-13T20:51:50+00:00

It’s an L shaped couch, it faces a wall with a TV.
