I bought my work Powermac G4 home this weekend to mess about on, so my PC has temporarily been cast aside and I am posting to you from Safari on OSX 10.2.8 :D

Anyway - here is a shot of my (hastily tidied) desk and a close up of the mac... oh, and my aluminium cased PC just sat by the side of it :)

Other Pics (4 computers in my room, although 2 need a few parts like CPU & ram, 6 total in my house) :

Labtec: 4 computers in your room? What represents the use of each of your 4 computer? :|

I upgrade frequently with the spare money I get building computers for friends, family, and some of their friends/family (built about 80 computers and I charge $100 - $200 per computer). Anyways, I have two computers in use always & other two are the ones I used to use before I upgraded the two I'm using now. Usually, I have about 4-5 friends over & they hook up the computers and we scrim Counterstrike online or play other games. I can't do that anymore because I sold some parts from the two computers not in use, I just need a few new cheap parts & then I can sell them. :p

how do u get away with that? i charge about ?50 per pc, i cant afford to charge anymore because people start considering oem's like dell. i dont my compents as cheap as a shop or oem:ss

What do you mean? The people I build for aren't usually cheap, they just say build what you think is the best & they go with it because they trust me & a lot of people come to me (recommendation from their friends). I recently built a P4 2.4C overclocked to 3.0 ghz, Radeon 9800 non-pro (modded to Pro), 512 MB PC3200 Ram, Hercules Fortissimo 7.1, 80 gig WD 8 mb cache HD, DVD/CD-rw computer with 17" NEC LCD1760V monitor for $1550. Computer costed $950 to build & the Monitor was $400 ($1350). Similar spec'ed Model at Dell or whatever with LCD costed $2500 or more and in some cases way over $3000 (although they offer printer, cheap $40 speakers, and some software. I can provide that as well). As for lower end models I can build them decent ones for about $400 - $500 (Barton 2500 overclocked to $400 XP3200 speeds, etc) & only charge $100 ($500-$600 total) & in the end still better offer then what most companies will.

Whats the make of the black case? looks really cool :)

Raidmax: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?...tion=11-156-123 $36 + $15 shipping, isn't that bad and includes a decent 350 watt power supply. The power supply supported Barton 2500 overclocking to 2.4 ghz, and supported my Radeon 9800 in it as well so it's fairly good. But only problem is that it scratches so easily.

i like the mini barbebone case, but since ur into overclocking, air flow must be a bitch in that thing...

Not really, the IDE cables are split open. And the IcyQ technology built in the case. There's 2 fans, power supply directly over the CPU fan & another on the side. With the overclocking I get 50 - 51 degrees (that's with the retail heatsink / fan of the P4 2.4C sometimes 52 degrees when I do heavy gaming) on my friends roomy case system with specific overclocking heatsink/fan he gets 52-53 degrees. It's also very quiet, you can barely hear it.

    • Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
    • Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
    • As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
