To generate more traffic for this interesting thread, I've moved this thread to General.
Meahwhile, while my office/desk is too big of a mess to show in entirety -- I'll show off my two year old Blur Busters system, colored in Blur Busters logo color!
I put a lot of effort in the frosted UFO. Intel X7740 all-core 5Ghz watercooled overclocked in a ASRock Taichi X299 motherboard with an AORUS GeForce 1080 Ti Extreme. While only 4 threads (8 hyper), it makes Oculus Rift VR games total silk. It's a 100% legacy-free
INWIN 303 case with no drive bays in use at all (there's a few hidden ones available under the motherboard if I ever need them). All I need is the three M.2 slots -- two of them currently filled with a few terabytes of SSD. Who needs old-fashioned drives?
(It looks better in person, the camera underexposed part of the system)
That said, I need a little more RGB to light up my custom frosted UFO better.

I generally prefer the clean-case look over the gnarly multi-faceted look of most gaming towers.
An unexpected side effect of RGB has been visual power mangement at a visual glance
<1 watt -- OFF state -- everything OFF
3 watt -- Sleep state -- only RAM lit up
60 watts -- Idle state -- GPU RGB light off
350 watts -- Gaming state -- Everything lit up like a christmas tree
(Kill-A-Watt meter measurements)
So RGB is more than just a bit of bling, I've put my computer to sleep a bit more ("the system's still disco, let me sleep it") to save electric bills whenever I'm away from the office, and the sleep state makes the RAM become a safety nightlight for the office.
Your turn. Post your desk pics or tower pics.
