The Man-Cave

Thanks mate. Think mine will be less complicated than that as it will only be my pc and sons ps4 in the cabin. I was thinking virgin box in sitting room. Wire running round outside of the house into cabin connected to a router with wifi access. Devices connected with cat6 cable to maintain good speeds.

Should work??

As long as the second router is in WiFi access only mode you will be fine. Or turn off DHCP it
 
not big a update but bought a Fractel design XL R2, an amazing case to after it being built. But a horrid case to build in, with one arm. (power supply mounting is terrible). the reason for so many cables on show is no SSD caddies without the drive cahges going to pick up some 3M tape soon!
Anyway Its now totally silent measuring around 10db outside the case.
Also you may notice a 980 is missing sold 1, & the other is being give to its new owner when my 1080 SLI Arrives, Also need to get a 3rd card.
Nvidia 0db + Displayport recommendations?

Smogsy - just a quick one as you recommended using MDPE tubing to case the internet cable running outside to keep the elements off it.

Will 20mm be wide enough or did u go fir the 25mm? Also is there any risk of chill damage in the winter with freezibg etc?

i cannot remember, i suggest taking a ethernet cable with you to check :)
not had any frost issues

trying to hold of predator purchase but notice price has recently dropped on the , must resist :p
part of me loves the x34A part of me hates the x34A.

hopeing games work on 21:9 is annoying specially for older titles.
black bars are just unsightly. this why i kept my 4L 16:9 and 1440P 16:9
 
erm if we just do
Base i used wood & cemented slabs cost me around £300 vs £1k for full cement.
Cabin was around 9K ( can get cheaper)
Electrics was around 500 (for own fusebox + 30 odd triple sockets) (mates rates too)
insulation cost me 200 odd should have cost me more like 600 (found a good deal on gumtree)

thats the basics so around 10K, i would budget 12K

that does not add in Flooring,A/C,Other equipment ofc
paint is around £80 every few years.

if your going to do it & leave it not used for peroids ensure you heat it every few days to stop any moisture condensation etc

if you go here

get a rough price and add in your extras at the bottom.
 
Mine would be used daily, unless abroad :p

Thanks for the info. Did you need any planning permission? Here in London, it feels like you need it for everything...

Get some new pictures up if you can :)
Council depending most say under 22ft by 16ft floor distance NOT building distance does not need it but best to check. As they can knock it down!!
 
Nice build. Only thing more impressive is how many forums you have posted this on... Surprised you had much time to build :p

But why this in your parents place when you have your own place?!

What do you even do for a job?! By the time I finish work and adulting i want to enjoy my own place, not live in my mum and dads back garden!

1) i only posted this on 3 forums. thats it. the rest was done by Ocuk Facebook members. Heck i had people in China asking for permission to use my images.... not sure why lol
2) i design create and maintain automated systems.
3) earning a income on a place is much better than loving in it. for the moment :P
 
just a few updates. my Ankle is fubared again so cant finish off some things in these pictures. lets just say 4K monitor is coming back to my desk soon. & cable tidying is on my agenda.
Currently using a Zimmer frame that is how hard its got right now lol :D
