RE: Show off your gear!
Thanks, I'm very happy with my setup! Been building it for around three years now. Used to have a 4k 32" in the middle for a while, but it makes triple screen gaming basically impossible or at least very awkward (especially using my slightly dated GTX670 - if only I had the money for a Titan, GTX980 or something...)
I miss 4k gaming but I can't have it all, can I? An ultrawide screen would be awesome as well but I'll stick with what I have. Don't have enough time for gaming to upgrade my gear at this point, it's just not worth it.
Loved my 3x24" setup the moment I went back to it and now use the 32" to watch movies in bed using either my Raspberry Pi or laptop - not 4k, but 1080p is just fine for that :)
@Ace: No, can't take off. Unless you count the slightly over-the-top Flight Simulator setup :P

RE: Show off your gear!
So, with the new job paying well and some crazy luck on a sale I could grab a GTX1080 for less than a GTX1070 usually costs. When the HTC Vive was on black Friday sale I told myself that it's a bad idea for several hours, but I still got it. And now, looking back, I don't regret it at all. Best early Christmas present I could've bought for myself!
Everything is so HUGE in VR, it's crazy. From spaceships in Elite Dangerous to blocks in Minecraft. You cannot experience that in front of a screen, no matter how big that screen may be. If you can't afford it - and let's be real, few people can - head out to a store or event that has a Vive or Rift and try it out. You'll see the gaming world with new eyes and better start saving money for the next generation of VR devices ;)
