I have that same desk... it has cable management stuff built into it... did you loose it? there's little clamps for the cables. They clamp onto the back of the desk. I loved that. It actually came as a suprise since I had no clue it had it. LOL.

Yeah I have it still on the back.. Problem is all this stuff I just added, so I haven't gotten back there to start putting them in it. .

Love the case. Can't do that here in Oklahoma though. Too much dust in the air. If I didn't have to open the windows to save on electricity every now and then, I'd be all over a case like that.

how do you guys keep your houses so clean????

LOL, OMG -not saying she doesn't keep her place clean but it's so typical of women (that i know) these days. They come to my place and they go, "WOW!, you're place is so clean for a guy." It seems the rolls have switched as when I was a kid I was the biggest slob ever and girls were always perfectly neat and tidy. Now I go to my female friends bedrooms (the rest of the house is fine) and it looks like a tornado went thru there! There's clothes and crap everywhere!!

And oooooh i want that Samsung Monitor (the one with the lighting behind it - and yes i know it's not built in :D)

What do you use all them monitors for? it doesn't look very practical to me, but i'm sure you have your reasons.

solitaire.......

Usually I have the two outside ones turned off when not in use. When all are on, its general for when I am either working on college work or doing some web design/development. Dreamweaver, Photoshop or Flash, and browser to test all get one monitor each. Last monitor is reserved for chat clients, music player, solitaire....

Thanks...it is deathly quiet...which is the best part. Just blow it out with some compressed air every once in a while and you're good. My dog's loose hair is the worse problem. :)

how much did the lighting cost??? looks UBER cool!

Haha, thanks :)

Yep, I used a set of DIODER lights from Ikea. $39 CAD for a set of four strips! There's a small dial that allows you to change the colour.

There's also two buttons on the dial that allow you to set it to automatically flip and fade between colours.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
