You Showed Us Your Rigs

Features
By Tom Marks published 10 December 2014

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an commission. Here’s how it works.

Each week on Show Us Your Rig we take a look at the workspaces, computers, and personalities of some of PC gaming's best developers. This time, things are a little different. Last week, we asked you, the readers of PC Gamer, to send us a picture of what you use to game along with answers to the following three questions:

— What's in your PC?
— What's the best part of your setup?
— What are you playing right now?

After an overwhelming response, we sorted through nearly 500 comments and put together this list of our favorites. Now, favorite doesn't necessarily mean your PC had to have a GTX 980 or 12 monitors, though there are many here that have that. Our favorites also include classy workspaces, great stories or personalities, and creative ways to make your battlestation exactly how you want it.

Thank you so much to everyone who participated, it was a pleasure to see all of your rigs even if you weren't chosen for the gallery. Feel free to post yours again—or for the first time—in the comments below!

You can see more from our regular Show Us Your Rig piece here.

What’s the best part of your setup?

I'd have to say that the best part of my setup is the whole "ambiance" that it gives out. I usually keep my room relatively dark so the LEDs give it more, I dunno... emotion? Everything from the surround sound to just gaming itself is amazing. The current specs aren't "amazing" but I do plan on throwing in some small upgrades in the near future (ie. keyboard, RAM, and U). It's still an ongoing "project" to finish (if ever possible) the setup as I am planning to build a whole new rig on the side for graphic design and sorts. Possibly a third monitor and more LED's-- Other than that...thanks for viewing and enjoy!

What are you playing right now?

Currently playing Titanfall, Counterstrike:GO, Smite, and League of Legends

What’s the best part of your setup?

It's hard to pick a specific part... but I'd have to say that my main gaming monitor is my favorite (the Asus VG248QE) as the G-Sync module was a gift from the guys at LinusTechTips and Nvidia. It was also the first time I got to pull apart a monitor to mod it. It's also the first monitor I've used with a refresh rate above 60hz... the difference that made was staggering. :P

What are you playing right now?

Currently playing South Park: Stick of Truth, Borderlands The Pre-Sequel, Far Cry 4... and frankly too many games to list... DAMN YOU STEAM SALES!

What’s the best part of your setup?

My setup might be getting a bit old atm but it still can run every game on max settings on 1920x1080 so I´m not complaining :P
Im a huge hardware geek but only upgrade nowadays when neccesary because every upgrade I would want costs too much and not enough gains to justify it. But I would love to build my own case someday with complete new custom watercooling so deffinetly something cool to come!
Back in 2003-2009 I upgraded my PC every month I think.. all my paychecks went into it :P somebody bought cars, I bought PC parts, overclocked them with LN2, DryIce, VAPO, you name it ive prolly done it :)
Though consoles have limited the graphics in games in my mind and thats why we dont need to buy brand new PC-s every month or year nowadays.

Oh yeah, I also am the biggest Youtuber in my country now, making game\hardware reviews in my native language. Some english videos also in a english playlist :) I also love making trailers as a time and a job so check them out too, specially the Project CARS ones ;)

What are you playing right now?

Right now im trying to complete FarCry 4 and then Dragon Age: Inquisition so I could make video reviews of them. Just finished the Unity review, that game is a mess :P
Waiting eagerly GTA V for PC and The Division. Why´o´why do you do this to PC gamers Rockstar :P always at the very end you bring your badass games to PC :(

Video, playing Project CARS.

What’s the best part of your setup?

The best part of my setup is definitely the case, which I made myself. I built myself from scratch. I created the design in Google Sketchup, then build the frame from scrap wood. Next I created the sides and roof out of canvas boards which I painted myself. The leaf patterns cut in the front and sides have case fans with red LEDS behind them so that they glow at night. The interior is lined with organic furnace filter, which does wonders to keep dust from accumulating within the PC.

What are you playing right now?

Right now I am playing a mixture of World of Tanks, DOTA, Titanfall, Far Cry 3, AC: Unity, and Shadow of Mordor.

What’s the best part of your setup?

For me the best part of my setup like many would say, is the computer because it is the one that brings everything on your desk or your setup to life. My computers name is Masus because I used an ASUS motherboard and used the first initial of my name to put in front of the ASUS part. I loved building my computer because it was my first computer build and it went pretty well. The experience was amazing and it makes me want to build more computers in the future.

I love when I keep adding in new parts to it because there's more things I can do such as ing more programs and games, increase my memory speeds, and hopefully I can add in some more screens for work and gaming purposes since I also edit videos on it.

What are you playing right now?

Now I am currently playing Skyrim, Borderlands 2, and Assassins Creed 4. In the future I can't wait to play GTA V when it comes out, along with buying The Crew and future great games to come out!

What’s the best part of your setup?

My favorite part is definitely the screen real estate. I have a 3 monitor setup at work and I always catch myself wishing I had a couple more monitors.

I like to run my games on the bottom 3 with the 770, and the top 3 run off the integrated video chipset, showing secondary apps like hwmonitor and teamspeak for example

What are you playing right now?

Currently I play a lot of battlefield 4 and call of duty advanced warfare.

LONDON, ENGLAND - APRIL 18: Brian Eno speaks during SUMUD, a fundraising event for Palestine, organised by the Amos Trust, at Union Chapel on April 18, 2024 in London, England. Sumud, meaning &#039;steadfast perseverance&#039; in Arabic, is a common term used to describe Palestinian non-violent, resistance against Israel&#039;s occupation. Amos Trust is a small, creative human rights organisation who have been working in Palestine for over 30 years with local and international peace activists, partnering with grass-roots projects, campaigning for Palestinian rights.
