You need more VM's!

LOL I manage almost 200 vm's (and growing, so many projects!) in 10 vsphere hosts.

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

Really nice case, though I would personally change the fan at the front for one without a light

No can do as the MegaFlow 200mm is one of the best for airflow, noise and price. I just snip the LED cables on the fan instead and job done!

freak180 thanks! The chair is a Microfibre one from Staples. I don't know the model of it but it was in Staples not long ago!

Hey mate just wondering what your giant mousepad is called, finding its difficult to get one...

Set up looks great!

psp83 mind sharing where you go desk?

I got mine from here : http://www.intercounty.com/price_point_slab_rectangular_desk.html

The main desk is the 1200x800 and the one with the sky box / av on is a modified 800x800 (I cut it down to 600x800 to fit next to the main desk & attached it to the main desk).

    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
