Why not.

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.

There are a few more pics of it here http://imgur.com/a/dMwCO

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????

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

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By thartist · Posted

      How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.

      Ok.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.
    • Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud.
