I'd put PC on the floor for more free space around)))
Then you can't see it, plus opening the side panels (they swing out) is a bitch.

Besides, that stand is custom built with two fans carved into it for cooling the PSU from under it and exhausting out the back of the stand ;)

It needs some vinyl wrap or something I know, preferably some ARGB after the wrap, but its still my own work.

The USB runs to a port on the back of the PC for power, or even a wall adapter if I want. But it was designed to be powered by the PC. I noticed its unplugged atm and looks like it trails off to nowhere lol.

Only need it while benchmarking or running really GPU heavy games, my 3090 sits right above my PSU shroud which is metal...vertically mounted obviously.

EDIT:

Besides, I think I wasted more room on my display case and old Chassis sitting next to it I could move instead :LOL:

wrap it or paint it, it will look good, i'd carbon fibre wrap :)
rtx3090 with only z270 with maybe i7 6700k, you should upgrade to more modern cpu. otherwise great :)

carbon fibre wrap
exactly the plan, to match the desk.
upgrade to more modern cpu
I kept the Z270 and i-7 7700K for Windows 7, which i still run since I have all the updates downloaded myself...I need an upgrade, true, but I'll still be putting that board in one of those old chassis with the 1070 in the box and keeping it for Windows when it was Windows, just like I keep the XP rig for DOS when it was really DOS :LOL:

7700k and 1070 perfect combo and than 13900k with rtx3900 ;)
i would be happy with that, i have ryzen 7 2700x 32gb ram with a RX 5700 XT. so its old but ok 🤷‍♂️
you game at 4k, i only have 1440p monitor

Well, one upgrade at a time. It was the 1070. 3090 first before EVGA cut ties with NVIDIA and all GPUs became garbage lol.

But i would get another i-7, again...consider it intuition, the math is wrong on the 13900K, threads and speeds...it would accomplish more on a benchmark, but die (or dye) faster at lower actual speeds, and E-Cores suck.

true or just get ryzen 7800x3D, no e cores. :) i'm not a fan of hybrid cpu architecture
but for gaming i7 13700k is perfect, you just get 8 more e cores with the i9 and 100watts more wasted

You do realize AMD does everything in that way right? Even the GPUs match up to the processor for better functionality.

And the 2070 GPUs had 11 GB of memory, didn't mean they were a good idea, actually its the exact reason they were a bad idea.

I'll know when i go to buy the next mobo/processor...and thats all there is too it for me heh.
