Well... I've been a member on Toms Hardware for quite a while and even longer just lurking the forums. I've also been a avid viewer of Barnaculeus Nerdgasm. He is quite a famous youtuber and has one of the coolest set-ups out there... untill now... (heres a link to his youtube and room tours https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYyY1z-s5wg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwST7leB0Sc) Its pretty crazy but ever since i was 12 years old on my aspire 5517 single core ati rage craptop. Since then, ive developed a unhealthy obsession. Its turned into the pc in the signature, along with a higher end amd build. (check out my profile) I used to be on par with this youtuber with my seiki 36 inch 4k tv's. that set-up sucked due to 30hz limitations. but was cool, that developed into 3, vizio tv's. I still have the tv's, theyre all wallmounted, cable managed and beautiful. Now the AMD build is runnin the 9590 at 5.0 ghz and a 780 ti and a dell 34 inch ultrawide 1440p. I ordered a obutto r3volution and a saitek flight stick and also have a thrust master t500 set-up. The real reason im here is to fish for ideas, anything crazy.. at all. Price isnt a crazy problem but i obviously cant afford 7, 70 inch 4k tv's. I considered projectors, but then ill want the sony 4k ones and id want to ceiling mount them and mounting stuff to walls like that isnt a possibility. But im curious, what would be the dream set-up. craziest ideas are appreciated. im not a millionaire but i make things happen. Oculus rifts are cool but make me sick lol. i have the dk1 and i liked it but the motion sick killed me within 5 minutes. Thanks for the help. Remember, the more crazy and exotic ideas the better! Cheers and Happy New Years!
 
Hello (sorry for 2nd post),
Good audio is a very underrated component to a good setup. Do you use headphones or speakers? If speakers, what kind of setup do you have? If you don't have a sub-woofer you NEED one. I got one a couple of months ago and it makes a HUGE difference in games and movies. You also might want to look into a pair of studio monitors...
 


I do have the rgb strips just for lighting uniformity, the outline all the monitors and fish tank. As for audio, my friends call me a audiowhore but i know im far from that after looking over the forums. I do have a monoprice tube amp just to get the job done but I currently own Sennheiser hd700, hd 598 and the special versions. Beyerdynamic dt770 and 880 both in 250 ohm, quincy jones akg headphones, the ath mx 50's, logitech g930's, and finally some turtle beaches and astros, along side it all, i have sonos sorround with 4 speakers and a sub. i know its not super crazy but its a start. my next plans for those is the hd 800s.
As for the lights, I prefer not to have to mount wall sockets on the side of the wall, the headach and cost of a electrician would kill me just for some accent lighting, so im pretty sure the rgb strips will stay, i have plans for the obutto stations with rgb strips and buttkicker sim subs. ill have pics in a little bit i cant right now because everything is sorta torn down from a house move /house fire, like i said, any ideas will be explored and considered

EDIT: had everything ghetto setup at new house to at least play some dayz, blew 2 circuit breakers.... only running 1 monitor and fish tank. still pulling 1500 watts. gotta electrician coming in to rewire 1 room to 1 super duty breaker. fml....
