You Showed Us Your Rigs
Each week on Show Us Your Rig we take a look at the workspaces, computers, and personalities of some of PC gaming's best developers. This time, things are a little different. Last week, we asked you, the readers of PC Gamer, to send us a picture of what you use to game along with answers to the following three questions:
— What's in your PC?
— What's the best part of your setup?
— What are you playing right now?
After an overwhelming response, we sorted through nearly 500 comments and put together this list of our favorites. Now, favorite doesn't necessarily mean your PC had to have a GTX 980 or 12 monitors, though there are many here that have that. Our favorites also include classy workspaces, great stories or personalities, and creative ways to make your battlestation exactly how you want it.
Thank you so much to everyone who participated, it was a pleasure to see all of your rigs even if you weren't chosen for the gallery. Feel free to post yours again—or for the first time—in the comments below!
You can see more from our regular Show Us Your Rig piece here.

What’s the best part of your setup?
I'd have to say that the best part of my setup is the whole "ambiance" that it gives out. I usually keep my room relatively dark so the LEDs give it more, I dunno... emotion? Everything from the surround sound to just gaming itself is amazing. The current specs aren't "amazing" but I do plan on throwing in some small upgrades in the near future (ie. keyboard, RAM, and CPU). It's still an ongoing "project" to finish (if ever possible) the setup as I am planning to build a whole new rig on the side for graphic design and sorts. Possibly a third monitor and more LED's-- Other than that...thanks for viewing and enjoy!
What are you playing right now?
Currently playing Titanfall, Counterstrike:GO, Smite, and League of Legends

What’s the best part of your setup?
It's hard to pick a specific part... but I'd have to say that my main gaming monitor is my favorite (the Asus VG248QE) as the G-Sync module was a gift from the guys at LinusTechTips and Nvidia. It was also the first time I got to pull apart a monitor to mod it. It's also the first monitor I've used with a refresh rate above 60hz... the difference that made was staggering. :P

What’s the best part of your setup?
My setup might be getting a bit old atm but it still can run every game on max settings on 1920x1080 so I´m not complaining :P
Im a huge hardware geek but only upgrade nowadays when neccesary because every upgrade I would want costs too much and not enough gains to justify it. But I would love to build my own case someday with complete new custom watercooling so deffinetly something cool to come!
Back in 2003-2009 I upgraded my PC every month I think.. all my paychecks went into it :P somebody bought cars, I bought PC parts, overclocked them with LN2, DryIce, VAPO, you name it ive prolly done it :)
Though consoles have limited the graphics in games in my mind and thats why we dont need to buy brand new PC-s every month or year nowadays.
Oh yeah, I also am the biggest Youtuber in my country now, making game\hardware reviews in my native language. Some english videos also in a english playlist :) I also love making trailers as a pass time and a job so check them out too, specially the Project CARS ones ;)
What are you playing right now?
Right now im trying to complete FarCry 4 and then Dragon Age: Inquisition so I could make video reviews of them. Just finished the Unity review, that game is a mess :P
Waiting eagerly GTA V for PC and The Division. Why´o´why do you do this to PC gamers Rockstar :P always at the very end you bring your badass games to PC :(
Video, playing Project CARS.

What’s the best part of your setup?
I would have to say the best part(s) of my setup are the Playseat Flight gaming chair and triple screen Eyefinity setup. I play a lot of flight and racing simulators and this brings the immersion factor to a whole different level.
What are you playing right now?
Right now I am playing Alien: Isolation, World of Tanks, Rise of Flight, IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad and DiRT 3.

The 3 monitors. Really is a big help especially with streaming. So I'm able to work seamlessly on the other two screens while I game and not have to alt-tab to do so.

I would say the main title I am playing right now is Elder Scrolls Online. But Counter Strike Global Offensive is a close second.
