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. .

My setup...been wanting to post this for a long time.

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. :)

That looks really good :D... I have been thinking about doing the backlightning stuff myself, but have not found anything good.... Did you buy the LED strips in Ikea and can it change color?

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.

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
