Hotness.

I once looked into getting a rotating mount for my 50" TV. They are not easy to find, and they would not be easy to rotate on a daily basis as I switch between a shmup and anything else.

My PSU died and took my motherboard with it, I decided rather than investing in another Z77 motherboard for my Ivy Bridge, I jumped up to Skylake.

So now I have a Asrock Z170 Pro4, 16GB DDR4 2400Mhz and a i5 6400 currently at 4.5Ghz.

thanks man. I still feel like I want this to look nicer than just a couple of shelves pushed together. I have no woodworking skills unfortunately.

I could get one of these:

Assuming that (A) I could fit both of my Hori EX's on it instead of buying an X-Arcade, and (B) that it is in fact tall enough to stand at... but even then I'm kind of like, ugh w/ shipping this is like $425 for something that seems like a pretty basic piece of wooden furniture. No?


EDIT:

I've considered something like this as well:

You can get these standing desks for under $200. Seems like I could fit the 2 Hori sticks on that keyboard shelf, and keep the PC underneath. Might be a nice fix. Although I can't tell if I can get it tall enough - you think?

Out fit it with some pneumatic jacks and you could have a sitter and a stander.

Finally upgrading my 9600gt to a 960 gtx. Should come in this Saturday. Soon my GPU will have as much RAM as my pc.

This is an interim upgrade. Once we rebuild our shed, I get to build a new pc with the left over money.

Currently eying a:
i5 6600k
16gigs of DDR 4
Gigabyte GA-H110MA
256gig SSD
