chconline Veteran Posted July 28, 2011 Veteran Share Posted July 28, 2011 I was just looking at a chair just like that one the other day. I am so rough on chairs I am thinking about getting one of thoe fiber, breathable material ones like that. How do you like it? It's ok. I've been using it like 5+ hours a day (Yeah I use my comp a lot :p ) since July 2007 and it's been good. The funny thing is I don't have a single NVIDIA part in my NVIDIA case :laugh: Probably picking up a GTX 570 next week though, so might have it finally!

NikBrooks Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 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. http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/50192365 There's also two buttons on the dial that allow you to set it to automatically flip and fade between colours. Does anyone know if you can get these anywhere but IKEA? They look brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylar0 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Updated workstation after making a trip to IKEA :p I added some Dioder light strips behind my desk and monitor for some nice backlighting. And a few more pictures: Hello I didn?t want to take up space quoting the images in response but could you tell me how/where the lighting strip is attached I can?t see on your Flickr all I can see it doesn?t look like it?s under your desk on the cable tray and it?s not on top of the desk? Just wondering how these attach may get some, and does your Flickr state the name of your monitor planning to get a tri monitor setup for my first desktop. Loving your design choices its elegant love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmin Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 is the trackball a real replacement for the generic mouse :whistle: ? I see more and more owners round here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OoTLink Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 It might be, I use a laptop mouse on my desk and love it but I'm tempted to get a trackball sometimes. I particularly like those huge ones like this: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=trackball&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=cqH&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial&prmd=ivnsr&biw=1092&bih=866&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=8301514163452884180&sa=X&ei=qXQ0TsO8FuTKiALY9ui6CA&ved=0CNcBEPMCMAo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Canuck Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 What table is that? It's a custom table from IKEA. Vika Amon table top with Vika Moliden table legs. :) Does anyone know if you can get these anywhere but IKEA? They look brilliant I think someone mentioned you can buy similar lights at ThinkGeek.com? I can't seem to find them though.

Just wondering how these attach may get some, and does your Flickr state the name of your monitor planning to get a tri monitor setup for my first desktop. Loving your design choices its elegant love it. I have two strips attached to the back edge of my desk, and two attached behind my monitor. They're simply mounted using double-sided sticky pads. The monitor is a Samsung PX2370. As I've told others, it's a fantastic looking monitor, but has a fairly horrible panel. It has magnificent colours but it also has horrendous backlight bleed which also results in terrible viewing angles when viewing dark/black images. They must have changed panels at some time because earlier reviews for this model were good, but now... I'd recommend you look elsewhere. I plan on replacing mine soon.

Thanks for your response any chance in hell you could take some pics for me? Just the IKEA specs show screws and it?s had me baffled for days? I just got get how you can mount stuff to double sided sticky pads lol I know sounds stupid but never heard of using them for back lighting installation. As for your monitor sigh that was one of my front runners after seeing in on your Fickr (hope that doesn?t sound creepy just going to be setting up my office properly after a long period of redecoration and getting my first desktop since I was a child so monitors are now a consideration) any input you could give here for me would be great https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1015750-monitor-shootout-for-new-system-samsung-vs-asus-vs-lg-thoughts/ what are you thinking of replacing it with I hear its direct successor fell short?

Neo003 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 is the trackball a real replacement for the generic mouse :whistle: ? I see more and more owners round here.. I wouldn?t call it a replacement but it comes in really handy if you work with CAD or Photoshop where you need really precision control over your cursor, I have the wired version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it?s lovely but as he said in another post he doesn?t rate it very highly would to know from him among my other question pre-crash, what it will be replaced with because that?s stunning.
