HOLY SPOTLESS BATMAN!!! That is a beautiful set up Markot! Who makes the speakers? Love the Yamaha integrated. Love that rug too!. Everything ties in nicely. What is that chrome cylindrical thing on the floor near the left speaker stand?
MJB, Yes perhaps another pic would be good. You identified components and the guitars which is good, but you failed to mention the beer! What is on top of the Vandersteen? I can't quite make it out.
Thank you both for posting!!
That beer on the desk is a Founders Dirty Bastard, It's a dangerously delicious Scotch Ale at 8.5% abv!
You might want to look into the Asus A4110 all in one, replace the HDD (hard drive with spinning disks) with an SSD (solid state drive) and it will be completely Fanless, and tough as nails to boot *laughs* I'm going with one for my new digital Rig.A little something I tossed together back in April. 2017. My first shot at at totally silent computer..... . No motors, no fans..... ZERO moving parts.

For anyone who is curious, here's the parts list.
Processor: AMD Athlon 5370 APU AM1 AD5370JAHMBOX
Motherboard: ASRock Motherboard Micro AM1H-ITX
CPU cooler: ARCTIC Alpine M1 Passive - Silent CPU Cooler for AMD AM1 Socket
Laptop power supply: AC Doctor INC 19V 3.42A 65W Battery Charger for Gateway M-1628
Hard Drive: PNY 256Gb Solid State Drive
Memory: Random stick of 4Gb DDR3 that I had laying around.
Computer case: Morex T3500 Fanless Mini-ITX Enclsoure
The motherboard is a bit unique. You can use a standard power supply with it. However I chose it because alternately you can plug a 19v laptop power supply directly into it, which is how I'm using it.

You don't realise how right you are haha, I had to bend the frame of the case a little bit to get the GPU in! Next time I upgrade I'll actually need to get a bigger case at this rate.^^^Turnip, that baby looks PACKED with goodies^^^.
Ohighway, that rig is just beyond words!! What gear plays back the audio and displays the video?
Oh...... ha.... That rig doesn't play through any audio gear. That's my kid's system, the one I mentioned as being at the opposite end of the spectrum from my little silent computer mentioned in posts 616, 619, and 623. His is pure gaming. No speakers , but triple 24" monitors....
I have a computer set up with the big TV in the family room. It's another AMD X4-975 based system that I recently repackaged into a Silverstone case that looks to be a stereo component. It's about the same size and shape as a home theatre receiver. It plays through a Kenwood HT receiver through some EV Interface C speakers.
Also have another repackage, the bedroom system....... it's a AMD A6-6400k APU system that I put in a different Silverstone case, plays through a Yamaha integrated amp into Dynaco A-25. Display is a flat panel 32" tv mounted on the ceiling.
I'll try and scrounge up a few pictures.
EDIT: Oh and for my main listening system I connect to my laptop. Pretty crude setup for now but it will improve in the future.............
Today's set up. Swapped a Grant Fidelity dac for a Mcintosh d100 a while back. Yesterday I swapped a Proton d1200 for my mc2255. The ADS 1530's are still are and probably always will be
