I have that Toshiba drive, too. And I see what you did there, I'm feeling you.

Same annoyance here...

That LED literally lights a whole room, no sh*t!

WAY too bright (and blue... sigh) LED...

fail, Toshy, fail!

Hi, I just finished my new computer desk and thought you might be interested. I have been lurking on the boards for a while but decided to register to show off my new toy.

Cheers.

Jesus Christ, that's awesome!

That all being quoted, I might post pictures of mine when I get around to finally tidy up again a bit and decorate again! (Y)

Suprisingly, no printers in any of the shots??

Wow, do those still exist ? I tought those were extinct. My granddaddy used to tell us stories about them and how expensive and unreliable those ink cartridges were.

This stock cooler is very impressive actually. It doesn't make noise. System is very quiet and the only noise is the 200mm fan at the top. This cooler was able to run Battlefield 3 at 4.3Ghz at 41C degrees. My buddy has the same i5 2500k with liquid cooling and he is getting about 40C on his for BF3 at 4.3Ghz.

Indeed, the stock ones have improved a lot. When I upgraded my computer a while back when my motherboard decided to break I didn't buy a CPU fan since it looked like the old one would fit, of course the mount for it had changed by about a milimeter to force you to change :p so I just stuck what came with the i5 CPU on there, it keeps the CPU cool and it's pretty silent, the graphics card fan make a lot more noise.

If you were mentioning my office.. yeah there is a printer it was behind me as I was taking the shots.. It's an HP Color Laser printer. I haven't used it in years.

Hard to believe. I have one printer in the office and one at home. Nobody prints anything nowadays at home? Print cards, photos, plane boarding pass, online banking receipts, reports etc, anyone????

Digital photo frames, boarding pass on iphones for some airlines..or they post em to you, online banking is online for a reason...etc..

I haven't printed anything at home in ages...

You forgot the typewriter! :p

Mhhh...

Printing photos I'll leave to professional photo laboratories... Printers are just more expensive and don't look any better unless you invest in really sweet printers, but yeah...

Still more expensive!

In the days of modern networked or wireless printers, there is no real reason to have a rather unsightly printer sitting on your desk. Mine is a Brother laser that lives in the server rack out of the way, and out of sight.

Other note: I agree, almost nothing gets printed on my printer these days.

In order to not spam the thread with pictures I ensured I took a picture of my desk only. I have a OkiData Laser Printer and an Epson Wide Format Inkjet as well as a Server in my "data center" (my server storage area of the room) as well as another PC and TV in the room. Just because it isn't in the pictures doesn't mean it isn't present ;)

The beauty of networked printing is neither of those have to be on or directly located next to my desk :).

And to answer the other part of your question. Yep. I print still at home. A lot. We exhausted at least a case of paper last year.

In that list really I only ever print boarding passes when I take the plane....once or twice a year...

My workspace is pretty cramped, going to get a wall mounted lamp soon and a better screen. Using my old 720p TV just now since I knocked over my old screen and broke it :( Can't wait to get my degree and get a good job, I really want to create a space that I'm proud of instead of just having stuff thats flung together :p Ohh I also want a better camera, the colour balance is terrible and it can't cope with lighting at all :( /rant

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
