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 :)

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

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.

    • So what is it, "Some exciting upgrades happened under the hood, and one of those upgrades is now available to all Windows 11 users." or "Also, you may need to enable it manually, as new features are rolling out gradually. Here is how to do it:" We keep hearing these are rolling out but they never seem to show up, we have force them on with ViVetool. Getting a bit tired of it.
    • Seems very lazy, so basically drain more battery power on laptops/tablets if this is turned on.
    • Edifier's popular R1280Ts bookshelf speaker can be a nice upgrade for your PC desktop audio by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a very nice discount on Sony's high-resolution SS-CS5M2 speakers, which are currently on sale for just $178. It packs the rather rare super tweeter that offers an additional level of clarity and "airy"-ness which a tweeter cannot provide. It's a passive speaker though which means it will require external amplification, which will cost extra. Let's say though that you have a budget of under $150 but still want a decent-sounding speaker that's active. The Edifier 1280Ts can help in this regard, as the unit is currently at a decent price of $130 (purchase link under the specs table down below). While you will not get deep sub-bass from the 1280Ts, you should get clearer vocals and highs like cymbals than a cheaper satellite-based 2.1 system. Obviously the soundstage and imaging will also improve due to the better reproduction of highs. As mentioned above, the Edifier R1280Ts is active and so does not need a separate amplifier, as it's a powered system with its own amplification. A great thing about this model is that you can add a separate active subwoofer to it too using the "sub out" option, which essentially acts like an LFE. This way, you can add in the missing deep bass. The technical specifications of the Edifier R1280Ts are given in the table below: Specification Value Total Output Power 42W RMS (21W + 21W) Driver Units 4-inch mid-range/bass driver + 0.5-inch silk diaphragm treble driver Frequency Response 52Hz – 20kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) ≥85dBA Input Sensitivity Line In1: R/L: 500±50mV Line In2: R/L: 700±50mV Inputs Dual RCA inputs Outputs Sub Out port for external subwoofer Get it at the link below: Edifier R1280Ts Powered Bookshelf Speakers - 2.0 Stereo Active Near Field Monitors with Subwoofer Line Out: $129.99 (Sold by Edifier Online Store, Shipped by Amazon US) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Appreciate the focus on UI performance, but this is going the wrong way. Instead of optimizing performance, coding to lower latency, etc. this is just throwing horsepower. This is lazy.
