No, you win the "needs to be on that disgusting show Hoarders award. :x

Seriously man, does it still look like that ? That is not "un tidy" as you put it - that a mountain of garbage.

Wouldnt you feel better if you threw all of that away & started fresh ?

Organize it at least lol

6x Dell U2410 IPS Monitors, great for multitasking!

Running bottom 3 through a HD7970 and the top 3 through a HD6770 eyefinity 5 for the less gpu intensive stuff (remote desktops, office, web etc).

I bought an ASUS HD6670 for the express purpose of having it drive 3 monitors.

I cannot get it to show more than 2 displays at a time. What's the trick? All my monitors are connected via DVI.

One monitor must be connected by DisplayPort, you can get a DP to DVI converter to do this.

It's got a normal ATX PC PSU, a development GC board (bigger than a normal GC board) with various breakout boards, socketed IPL, a large scsi-like connector for the development PC, network debug port, 2 debug COMM ports, digital out, analogue out.

The motherboard underneth the GC board inside has things like RAM, connections to the internal hard drive, connections to the gamepad inputs, connections to a 7-segment display, etc.

So did you develop for GC or how did you get your hands on this?

Nice setup, but god terrible pic Spirit Dave. Makes my eyes want to bleed

haha ... yeah it's a good setup.

No it's not instagrammed, it was a terrible photo (I'm no photographer!) and so I threw a quick color alteration on it in Analog for Mac :D

But who cares about the photo quality ... it's how comfortable I am right now in my office :D

AMD APU 3410MX @ 2.9 GHz xfire with Radeon 6750m @ 770 core & 970 mem.

Yes why not :)? But you should have thought about some cooler like this one: http://www.zalman.com/ENG/product/Product_Read.asp?idx=276 . I've got one like that myself, all copper= needs not that hard cooling like aluminium does ;).

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

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

      If the drive/memory is soldered to the board, which it probably is, then it's a no from me
