uhhh you don't gotta baby do yah? yellow rooms make babies cry very loudly!!!

THAT room would make one SCREAM BLOODY MURDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the colour is more subdued ... it was the camera flash that caused the uber brightness. 2 walls are yellow, two are a nice pumpkin Orange. I usually only have 2 lamps in, so that fills the yellow. prefer this to white....

The wall actually looks quite nice. Makes the room feel more alive.

Hopefully I can post my workstation here once I finish moving on the 20th.

Awesome! LOL. I got a dark red office and a hunter green bedroom. I love dark colored rooms!

What's on the board if you don't mind me asking? My organizational skills suck and I need to really work on doing more documenting.

I have it categorised by live apps, apps in production, ideas, misc, social and staff working hours. I found the board to be a great way of organizing myself.

These workstations look amazing. I am moving to Korea next month and I will post a pic of what I'm able to set up. Might just have to pick up one of those Ikea backlights and throw it in my suitcase :)

South Korea I wish! You?re so lucky, loving the Ikea backlights myself but if you?re moving do bear in mind about the plugs and electrical stuff.

I was thinking the same!

Pretty cool room, nice case, nice cable management and a stock intel heatsink, lol

I thought the same thing out of reflex, and then I remembered, I am using the stock fan for my new i5 CPU too, I would have used my old freezer 7 pro, but the fan mounts for 1155 socket is of course different by about 1mm so old 755 socket fans won't fit even though they are pretty much the same in all other aspects, I just thought screw it, put the Intel fan in and haven't bothered with changing it.

Modern CPUs keep cool enough under pressure even with the stock fan and stock fans seem to have gotten a lot quieter the last few years too :p

I know I?ve been asking it for a while now but anyone know if them ikea lighting strips can be used without screwing them into the desk or anything just decorated and can?t really drill in here but I do like the look of them.

They come with adhesive tape.

Nice movie posters some of you have!

I may have posyted this in the old thread:

But not this, new case upgrade to 650D from Lian-Li PC7Fb:

Such a brilliant case. Has helped drop temps 5 degrees idle (39-40 degrees) and 10-15 degrees under load depending on application.

I've been meaning to add these photos for some time but I never had the time.

I recently changed the case of my PSP to Ceramic White, added a Razer Mamba and Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 1.5TB (not pictured).

Oh, as I am sure you are aware, I do have the IKEA DIODER lights at my workstation. Strangely enough, I had them around the same time as Another Canuck placed it on his workstation, but his implementation is better anyway so I have no regrets :p.

Ok so I have been told these just "stick on" stick onto what and how? The IKEA spec sheet shows drilling and I cant drill in this newly done room but want some any chance you cank get me a pic of how yours are done?

Bah, It's Neowin's multiquote thing, I definitely deleted the additional copypaste but it still put it in and I went to bed not long after! :whistle:

Interior is:

cpu: i5 2500K 4.3GHz

mobo: MSI P67A-G45-B3

ram: 8GB Corsair XMS3 1600MHz

gfx: Asus DirectCU Top GTX460 1GB

sound: Asus Xonar Essence STX

storage: 4.5TB SATA II drive (WD Black, Green, Blue & Samsung F3)

case: Corsair 650D

cpu cooling: Corsair H80 on Noctua NF-P12 fans

case cooling: Coolermaster MegaFlow 200mm intake, Corsair 200mm exhaust

LOL, fair enough XD That's a pretty nice hardware list :) Great looking case as well, huge though :p Good thing using those Noctua fans. Using one in the back of my Lian Li case and it makes that much less noise now. The only fan that makes a hearable noise is my EVGA GTX460 EE and the front fan. Thumbs up for the cable management (Y)

^Same here, haha. Everything in BC2 is set to high and it still runs flawlessly here as well. I'll probably be getting an EVGA GTX 560 the way it looks now but I'll be waiting for the BF3 system specs before purchasing anything.

    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.
    • "...will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update...". Three names that all refer to Windows Update. Does the author even understand what he is writing about?
    • and somehow windows is the only one with issue every patch tuesday is a mess, android macosx have all that and it never had issues locking people out of their own data.
    • It's the ol': I told my kids I was older than Google and they thought I was joking. For me I was born the same year as the internet
