If he's low tier, then I can't even be ranked. I like the table.

I have weighted matting in my (black, featureless) case, but loud, high power fans to allow me to run SLi in such a cramped space, and because I can't sleep without the white noise of a computer anyways. I run MX Blues for the feel more than the sound, though I find the sound to be both satisfying, and a useful feedback beyond tactile for accuracy. Mostly though, I'm a lifelong diehard music gaming arcade nerd with a bunch of arcade-replica control decks for Bemani games, all of which are loaded with proper AC-spec 100g Omron microswitches, the real big kind. Buttons on anything that don't feel and sound like a proper microswitch just don't feel right to me. Stealthy-sleek is for looks, not sounds
Without loud fans, this thing would be an incendiary device - a mandatory tradeoff to fit all that roar in such a small box, good thing I love the sound.
Eventually, this PC will be host to my (currently nonexistent) home listening station... which will probably just be a second Valhalla, a second Uberfrost and a T1 or something. I like my office setup so much I'll probably just clone it, and step up on the cans to the open-backed flagship. That, or the HD650, which I've wanted to own for a long while now.

Kind of the same for me (Das with MX Blues). I have my power and HDD lights plugged in, but they're so small and dim I hardly notice them. My Lian-Li case is totally black otherwise and I put foam inside to make it quieter.

Anyone know any "loud typers"? I do, some people just pound the keyboard! In a big meeting full of sales guys you can hear one or two above the others!

You've got more Missions than I've ever had! I only have a pair of 771s in my bedroom at the moment because I've diversified my portfolio of speakers, but at one point I had a pair of 767s on the living room floor and some 770s at the office. Now I have some Klipsch Tangent 300s for the living room, and I no longer have an office.
It's too bad that Mission is no longer what they used to be.
They are indeed 771's.I also have am a huge fan of older mission speakers. I bought a pair of 761i's on closeout around the time they stopped selling Mission in the US. Had those forever and fell in love with mission speakers.Since then I am always looking for good deals on older mission speakers on Craigslist and eBay. Recently bought 4 Mission m70's and a m7ci center that I use for my home theater. No where as nice as the 771s but pretty decent for a cheap home theater setup.
