I have Neumann KH 80 studio monitors. Best speakers I have ever owned.

Neumanns are awesome. I have the KH 150s (and a 750 sub) which are definitely overkill for the desktop, but my office opens up to a living room and you can crank them up to dance party levels and they fully fill the space while remaining clean.

I had an Asus XG43UQ 43' monitor in the same setup and went back to 34'. 40' is too large if you are sitting directly in front of it. You have to turn head left and right and tilt up and down worse than watching a tennis match. Was really annoying.
That was my concern. I use my 32" monitor for work as well as gaming after work. If you have to move further back to see it all, it's not worth the size jump imo.

My TV is a xSony90J 75" and it's the way to go. I'd probably be happy w/ a 65", but not regrets on the 75. Next one will be a LG C-series in 2032, or if this one fails for some reason.

Best $100 you'll ever spend if you want a "cheap" alternative set of PC speakers. Phenomenal sound for the price. The bass is unreal for their price/profile. I've had them since 2019 and would've easily spent $200-300 had I known their quality.
Nice! I use the Bose QC45 headphones, and they're amazing and noise cancelling. They're usually on sale seasonally at Costco for $150-200, but MSRP at $400.

Ok that back drop of PC games in their boxes is fucking awesome. Nice work :)
Thank you! I have around 300 game boxes. So glad my mom never threw anything out. Younger me would've most likely tossed them when I got my first tiny apartment.

I don’t get it. I just got all those bit last week except for a 5070ti and it was $3k. I’m a bit skeptical that a GPU is another four grand.
Falcon Northwest has always charged a premium for their PCs.

Yea, all of my parts are at least that good, and most are better, and I’m in about a little under 6k total. I went out of my way to make sure my system doesn’t glow and is closed. I’m not a kid and I don’t want a fucking disco. Going with just 2tb for the main drive seems especially cheap.

it's falcon northwest

you can see it too from their bullshit branded cpu cooler

the only good thing i can say about them is they are probably one of the first "boutique" sellers in the 90s and they are still going
