It's a CaseLab Merlin SM8 case. The desk dimension are 175cm x 100cm. So it fits nicely under the desk. It's not my first watercooled PC. I used Lian Li cases before. But with Lian Li cases I always got stuck with something, i.e. typically a few mm or cm too less space for the radiators or fans I wanted. Options to attach radiators (fans and reservoir) are also much better in a CaseLab than in a Lian Li case. My conclusion was, the bigger the case, the bigger radiators I could use. With big radiators, you can select radiators, which have a low number of fins per cm. This again means, you can use fans, which don't have to create a high static pressure, i.e.: silent, slowly turning fans (I have Noctua NF-F12 PWM, normally turning with ca 400rpm)
Nice setup! How do you like that Meteor Mic? I was looking at that recently but I was afraid to pull the trigger because I am not sure if it will pick up too much background noise when in game. Most specifically key presses and mouse clicks. I'm too into boom arms as I feel like it would just be a distraction from the screen for me or something.

I love my Samson Meteor Mic. You have to have realistic expectations though. If you're doing a lot of typing on a mechanical keyboard while using it and you're not using push to talk, there will be some noise transferred to the mic. My wide mouse mat beneath my keyboard dampens some of it and I only use my mic maybe once a month, so a mic arm solution was overkill for me. You could always get a Meteor Mic and a mic arm later if you end up needing one. It does have the appropriate threading on the base for that. There's also a hardware mute button on the mic. Clarity of the Meteor Mic is great for the price. I've received compliments.

Yea the mute switch is the main thing I like about it. Thats not something you see on many mics and its more convenient to me than having to open a program to mute. I don't generally use PTT though so that's why I asked. I may just do what you said and grab it and maybe I'll learn to use Ptt until I feel the need for an arm. Thanks for the info and happy gaming.
Most of you folks have me beat for cool stuff. I have very powerful, silent, small footprint. No pic it is just a metal box about 1.5cu feet. I see a lot of you are into home recording. I back that 100%. Today almost anyone can make music which is a wonderful thing.
iMac - Roon or iTunes lossless/AIFF - Eitr to Modi Multibit - Peachtree MusicBox - Axiom Audio M3Ti's. Also Audeze EL-8's and Mad Dog 3.2 headphones. Custom made speaker stands from salvaged red oak and cork with blutac holding speakers and Eitr & ModiMulti. I find myself spending a lot of time in my office listening to music with this set up. Couldn't be happier. Although after editing that photo, I realize that I should probably spend some time dusting under my amp
