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.

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 :/

My System Specifications

Creative 2.1 Speakers + Subwoofer

Microsoft Sidewinder x6 Keyboard

Sunsonny 120DPI Gaming Mouse

Edirol PCR-M30 Midi Keyboard

AMD Phenom X6 1090t 3.2 GHz

MSI ATI Radeon HD 6950 2GB Twin Frozr II

CoolIt Eco 120 CPU Water Cooling Kit

500GB Seagate Baracuda (Operating System)

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.

    • Absolutely NOBODY has suggested such a conclusion. I am affirming the sober reality check that AV2's overall market adoption will take longer than AV1's adoption rate -- which, by the way, is the whole point of the article! While PCI-SIG is productive (on paper), other WGs have created all sorts of confusing progress plans that consumers have tuned-out of their improvements... HTML/W3C, USB, HDMI, BT, WIFI (ieee802.11) as a few other groups where spec naming conventions, split progress paths, overlapping ambitions... I'm not critiquing the AV specs group; I'm simply affirming that adoption for AV2 faces headwinds beyond the macroeconomics of it all.

    • No thanks! WebView trash is unacceptable. I only use software that's native.
