My desk is pretty spartan for the most part. The boards are a Magicforce 68 with MX Blues and Vortex double shot PBT shine-thru caps, and a Vortex Pok3r with MX Clears and double shot black and white PBT caps. My PC is nothing remarkable. It's an ITX Z170 build with an i5 6500 and a GTX 980. I pretty much just use it to play older games on Steam and Overwatch. I should really untangle the cable for my headphones though....

LevelSteamhow is the mx clears, do you type a lot on it? i liked the tactile feel of it on my tester, but was afraid it will be too fatiguing to type on as a main board . I ended up getting the Vortex mx brown instead.

HellboyI'm a very heavy handed typer so Clears and Greens feel nice to me. Clears are my favorite switch by a long shot though, and I like to use them for typing and gaming. I don't find myself getting fatigued at all though.
Edit: I just realized I didn't ever upload a shot of the inside of the PC.

CresSamsung 27" CF591. I honestly don't recommend it; it's a bad monitor for the price (I paid $300).
It's a decent monitor, but I got it mainly because its frame's colors matched my build perfectly, which was dumb. The picture is really great in brightly lit games and for desktop work, but in lower light stuff like Alien: Isolation or Soma I've noticed that the pixel response time is really low, and as a result the image smears across the screen a lot, even with the response time maxed and the monitor properly calibrated.

LevelSteamOh, that's too bad. It looks really nice on your desk. To me response time and refresh rate is a big deal because I have a 10 year old dell monitor that's still working but has horrible screen tearing.

CresIt's a 60Hz panel but it does have freesync which would help with your screen tearing if you use a Radeon card, but yeah, the pixel response time is for darker colors is not great. Up until this monitor I'd always used LGs and had been very happy with them. It might be worth checking out their various lines for your next panel.
