You can get lights that change automatically with what ever is displayed on the desktop but cant remember the name of them they come with fans as well to blow air into your face.

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.

Nice thanks :).... I will be getting one soon... :)

There's actually three Computers here. My Desktop which is a custom built Core i7 machine which is connected to the middle and right screen, my Alienware M11x which is connected to the left screen (Both controlled from the Desktop using Synergy) and finally my MacBook.

Main office with my two main workstation\gaming machines

Both I7 2600K with 8-12Gb of 1600mhz ram on P8P67 boards running SLI 570s

At the TV my main media\server terminal

On the table 2 Asus Laptops 1 Gaming N53SN and the other multimedia station I had for 3 years.

All of this is patched either through GB LAN or Wireless N 300Mb.

Fun times for having friends over doing gaming night :)

Is that windows 8?

Hmmmm i'll have to think about it. I do agree the wires are blah.

I may build one of those floating shelves under the desk and put it there.

Work in progress, still waiting for my secondary monitor stand that I ordered online to arrive.

Will be clamped to the desk to move my monitor 360 degrees & all new artwork to hang up.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
