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.

    • If it ain't broke, don't fix it. One Commander Free also available in the Store has been my goto Files Manager for years. It does what I need at a more than reasonable speed. I do occasionally use Files Explorer just because it is there and does what I need without any problems when I use it.
    • I think you missed his point. He wasn't saying that cloud storage isn't possible on GNU/Linux, clearly it is. He was pointing out that you are commenting about your dislike of Windows on an article about OneDrive (not Windows) for Mac (also not Windows). Its about as off topic as coming to an article about Sony improving something on the PlayStation and saying that you hate Sony TVs and prefer LG.
    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Nvidia has a fresh update for GeForce NOW subscribers today, bringing in more games to add to its ever-growing supported titles list. At the same time, the company announced the kick-off for its summer sale for the streaming subscription service, dropping the prices for both its premium packages for anyone looking to upgrade or join. The offer is for the 12-month membership options that the company offers. This drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. Next, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping prices by $70 from the original $199.99. "The Performance membership delivers smooth, high-quality cloud gaming across devices, with streaming up to 1080p at 60 frames per second (fps) and access to RTX-powered servers for supported games," says Nvidia, describing its tiers. "The Ultimate membership steps things up with RTX 4080‑ or 5080‑class performance in the cloud, supporting up to 4K and beyond on ultrawide displays, up to 120 fps, and advanced features like ray tracing, NVIDIA DLSS and NVIDIA Reflex for a more responsive, visually rich experience." With the sales out of the way, here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: NBA THE RUN (New release on Steam, available on June 9) Witchspire (New release on Steam, available on June 10) SpaceCraft (New release on Steam, available on June 11) Duet Night Abyss (Launcher) DOOM Eternal (Epic Games Store) The Elder Scrolls Online (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Farever (Steam) World of Tanks: HEAT (Wargaming) Nvidia plans to add support for a bunch of more games during the rest of June. Find the full announcement from last week over here. Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
    • It's actually shocking how logs filling disks has been a constant issue going back for decades, yet we see very little improvement over the years. Even in the server world, its actually shockingly common for a server to either go totally down, or have a critical alert raised due to logs filling disks.
    • YouTube has finally brought back its DMs feature, but only in these countries by David Uzondu Late last year, YouTube started testing a "new" way to share videos directly with friends, without having to leave the app. Now, the video giant has announced that is now rolling out a revamped direct messaging inbox, which lets you share videos, Shorts, and live streams and have conversations about them, directly on YouTube. The platform limits this feature to 18+ users who are signed in to a verified channel and use the latest mobile app version. Direct messaging on YouTube first became a thing back in 2017 inside the mobile app (later renamed to "Messages"), where users could chat one-on-one and share clips directly, but all that came to an end on September 18, 2019, when Google decided to shut it down after giving users a month to download a .zip file archive of their past chats. No one really knows why YouTube killed the feature, but users were encouraged to migrate to the public Comments section, on Community tab posts, and via YouTube Stories. The previous incarnation suffered from moderation challenges, prompting Google to implement stricter safety guidelines and age verifications for this new iteration. Here's a list of the countries where the re-launched feature is currently available, though note that Brand Accounts do not have access to it, at least for now: Countries American Samoa Austria Belgium Brazil Bulgaria Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Greece Guam Hungary Iceland Ireland Italy Latvia Liechtenstein Lithuania Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Northern Mariana Islands Norway Poland Portugal Puerto Rico Romania Singapore Slovakia Slovenia Spain Sweden Switzerland U.S. Virgin Islands United Kingdom United States Before you can use the feature, you first have to send an invite link to your contact. Invite links expire exactly seven days after you create them. If the person on the other end accepts the invite, you can exchange videos directly and text back and forth inside the app. To delete a message, just long-press on the message and tap unsend to remove it for both users. You can also delete entire conversations by long-pressing the thread and selecting delete, but the other person will continue to see the chat history on their end. To make sure everything remains safe, YouTube monitors these messages to ensure they follow Community Guidelines.
