Show us your Workstations - 2011 Edition


Recommended Posts

uhhh we got lots of old houses here LOL.... plus you can never trust contractors....

there's areas that attract those types... you never know you've moved into one of those till several months or even years later. the first one shows up, then more start to show up and you've got lots of 'splainin to do.... then you try to plan out and new identitiy and move out to Utah and become a mormon and nobody would ever know. Plus out there you won't have to deal with the streakers..... right? anyone from UT wanna comment on that?

But what does all of this have to do with how people setup their workstations. You're going off topic a lot in this topic :/

Yer, I can't justify spending more on the IPS screens :p

lol I know that feel, I have only 1 Dell 2007FP and I think it's running out of juice, it's great though for panoramic viewing when I need to ready pdfs and other ebooks.

Whole rig listed above would be worth around £1,000. Same performance and speed as higher spec machines (Cause of the bang for buck AMD Processor) for a lower price. Infact just the machine would cost that if I went Intel.

Will be posting a build log if people are interested.

Thanks for reading/looking,

Is this one of those newish 23" LED LG monitors ?

it's only 22" and not a new model. i simply picked the cheapest 1920x1080 screen i could find locally. it is LED though and very thin - but that's kind of irrelevant when you're using it. :p

@remixedcat, you should seek professional help. :D

I have a jar of vaseline on my desk too, as I have eczema on my hands and it comes in handy when I'm having a "bad hand day" where my hands keep itching like mad or they get all dried up. If I don't keep that in check the skin starts cracking and bleeding, and I hate it when that happens! Back when I was a kid the problem got really bad for a few years and people would avoid me because they thought they'd catch it -_- I don't think you'd want that problem lol, plus everyone thinks you're some kinda perv when they see vaseline on your table.

Why the heck would you use vaseline for that anyway, it's hard to wash it off!

Here's my lovely little contribution - I know a few weeks ago I posted a picture of the setup in my new home, but over the weekend I went to our old house with my family to see if we left anything in the garage. While I was there, I couldn't help but snap a picture of where it used to be! We lived in that house almost 16 years, and it's funny but my desk area was in nearly the same space for that whole time. I remember as a kid, having my 286 on a table in front of that back side window. lol :D Someday I'll dig up a pic of it (I have one laying around somewhere)

Yes the inside of my case is a mess, but I don't mind because as you can see I never see it. Yes it's a plain case only because I have no need for windows and lighting. Yes my desk is messy as all hell which is weird because I usually keep the rest of my room neat LOL.

Moved into my apartment last June, just got around to updating my setup and finishing hanging everything up.

NZXT H2 Case

Gigabyte 990FXA-UD5

Phenom II x6 1055

4 x 4GB Mushkin SIlverline

XFX 6950 1GB

Lite-On Blu-Ray Burner

OCZ Vertex 3 120GB

3 x WD Green 2TB

Have to say I was pleasantly surprised with this case, I had a NZXT crafted series with my previous build and it was quite chincy. This one however is a tank, the side panels hardly even flex when I take them off. The Modular front panel is amazing as well, no need to ever take the bezel off.

    • The AI data centers need it more than us so...let them gobble it all up at that price!
    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.
