Anyone else here into computers? Do you have a cool system you would like to show off or maybe to post your Baldur's gate nest? I just finished tricking mine out and would like to share. I built my computer from scratch and recently added a custom cooling loop to it. I use my computer to build 3DCG cut scenes for personal enjoyment mainly. I am working on a few scenes for a mod that is not BG related. I also use it for video editing, gaming, and internet. I have it hooked up to my home theater so I can do everything from one spot. Pictures of consoles and Home theaters are welcome as well.

    now that's a serious unit, back in the day I loved spending 1000s of dollars on killer PC's but I don't really play hardcore games anymore so I try and refrain from spending big dollars on my PC, I could take a picture of my unit, but I don't have any good photo taking mechanisms ( I still use a flip phone hahaha ) but my PC weighs 50 lbs, and there are wires golore in my PC, yours looks so nice and neat, and mine is just a mess hahaha

    Being that this is a forum for Baldur's Gate, it doesn't have to be about an all powerful system. A good chair and a nice homey room is best for the gate. I'd be interested in seeing the setups of people who blow hours and hours on this game. I say go for it,this thread could be fun to see what people are playing on since the game can run on a phone or a supercomputer. My system is powerful but only because it's a hobby of mine and I use it for other things. Baldur's Gate doesn't look or play any better on it than any other system from the last decade. I would imagine some people may even use Nvidia shield or similar to stream Baldur's gate from a laptop into their home theater for a more relaxing gaming experience.

    Hmm, that wouldn't be the same rig we've tried to roll out of your house on a truck, would it? :)

    Hi All, I do like the above systems but I am about to put you all to shame; may I present my mobile command battlestation...



    Sometimes, when I don't want to wake the motel I might be staying at, I attach my sound system (headset) :blush:

    Should I mention the specs? Well OK then:
    Omni 10, Intel Atom processor Z3770 (1.46 GHz), 2GB RAM, 10.1" 1920x1200 Screen, 32 GB eMMC. It was water cooled once when I unfortunately spilt my drink, but I found that I didn't need it and wiped it off.

    Righteo stop salivativing, I know you all want one...
    Gus


    Seriously though, it is only the beast I play when I am away for short periods, otherwise my other is a Clevo P157SM1 notebook connected to a 24" ASUS monitor & Artlec Lansing speaker system.
    I might add that I am very much into computers (Network Manager) and used to customise for performance. These days, I don't really play the games require a huge beast; more into isometric RP games and some 1st person (Elder Scrolls etc).
    I don't have a mobile system. I do have an android phone but I am not sure I want to play with it. I would like to have something like what you have for when I am on the road.

    Not my battlestation, yet. But I'm surely planning of getting something like that after my current setup hits the fan! Gotta love steampunk computers~ <3</p>
    That would be an awesome setup to add a custom water loop to. You could make it look like a steam engine or something. Seriously stylish. You could just attach all of the computer components directly to the desk and make them look all rustic. That would be a king mod.

    @the_sextein, it has its place but now a bit old in the tooth... Currently shopping for a Hybrid 2in1 with a bit more grunt.

    Had a 'Samsung Galaxy Tab S' but found that I was installing all my old favourites (BG Series, IWD, IWD2 etc) to play on it so am opting to go back to a Windows platform for mobile. I also have a Note 4 and have played BG on that with little to no problems; size of screen was the prob but when you need to play, you play!

    Could people edit their posts to put pictures behind a spoiler tag? I know this was done in another thread for good reasons, and here at least it'd solve some annoyances while trying to view the thread.

    Thanks much.

    And I really dig your setup. Thanks for sharing it. :)
