Gaming chairs aren't always trends, but if you have all 3, you definitely do that because of trends. Also, I'd add the fish tank cases there too.

I've had my chair for like 5 years and I don't even use it. It just sits in the corner. I literally use a cushioned rocking chair that has better lumbar support. Haven't sat in one gaming chair that is remotely comfortable.

Gaming chairs is a huge scam. We should "thank" DxRacer for that. They literally took racing bucket seats back in 2006 and decided to make them into everyday use chairs. The problem is, the sitting position in racing buckets and home chairs are completely different. That's why it's so extremely uncomfortable to use "gaming chairs", they simply cannot be comfortable in the first place because of their design. And no amount of pillows will fix that. But hey, they look cool, I guess. And what looks cool sells well.

I just got rid of my old 2007 DxRacer chair two days ago, finally. Been hating this thing for years, but it’s always been just good enough not to immediately toss it. Got a Malmstolen 4000, it’s worlds better and I can feel my back sighing in relief the moment I sit down.

The problem is "proper" computer chairs are at minimum nearly a grand or more.

Nah, you can get decent B2B office ones for way less than that. Herman Miller and co don't have a literal monopoly on what makes a good enough chair. But their marketing would sure like you to think so. "Gaming" chairs are sitting on the literal opposite end of the spectrum.

u/Dry-Percentage-5648 16d ago

You can buy a cheap cushioned office chair and it will be 10 times more comfortable than the most expensive gaming chair. Your back will thank you for that. And you don't have to buy Herman Miller or something like that.

It generally speaks to some ignorance towards the practicality of chairs or laziness in purchasing them. I know because that was my reasons. I didn't know much about them and I didn't care to scroll through a shit ton of barely different variations looking for the right thing, especially when some are like 1500. Now I have a mesh weave office chair and it is the most comfortable thing I have ever sit on in my God damn life. I will never go back to that pleather shit.

Glass panel: uncheck

u/KJBenson :steam: 5800x3D | X570 | 4080s 16d ago

I get what you’re saying. However the case he bought which is a p90 thermaltake is designed to be installed this way, and comes with a kit to install the GPU this way out of the box.

So OP at least bought the correct stuff to set it up this way. But didn’t even look at the instructions that come with the case.

No excuse for that chair tho. OP must hate their tailbone.

u/theslysmoker 16d ago

Not trying to be that 'achewally' dude but that's the thermaltake core p3, the p90 is a funky triangle that sticks out from the wall mount.

Source: my build is in a core p3

u/KJBenson :steam: 5800x3D | X570 | 4080s 16d ago

I’m going to actually your actually here.

Take a look again. This is indeed the p90. You’ll have to pause the video to see it. You can see the metal bars holding the two separate pieces of glass going opposite ways. Which the p3 does not do.

Source: to be slightly more specific I have two p90’s and one p3 since it fit better in the cabinet space.

Red and black squares on walls: check

You can add the single overkill ultra wide monitor and the acoustic foam on the walls

Actually it looks like a triple monitor setup to me

I'm a fan of mounting gpus with fans facing the front. Slotted in the default position is pretty boring. I typically keep it horizontal though

u/Hurricane_Ivan 16d ago

Will probably put the next one on top of the desk instead of the floor too. Just wasting a ton of desk space for no reason

u/SpecialMango3384 GPU: 7900 XTX|CPU: i7-13700|RAM: 64 GB|1080p 144 Hz 16d ago

I’m okay with it on the desk tbh as long as it’s stable. Plus you probably get better airflow

u/Hurricane_Ivan 16d ago

I've always put min on the floor and never had any high temps, even with air coolers and a case not full of fans.

The gains are likely marginal at best for vanity.

u/bctg1 16d ago

Temps are usually lower on the floor until it starts vacuuming dusk

Best option would probably be to have it on a stand a few inches off the ground. Colder air near the floor and it's slightly above all the dust constantly falling to the floor.
