I like Seagates

:rofl:

me too, ide rather sacrifice the 50gb tbh, my file serever is made up entirley of seagates, also my system has a fw in it, I just use wd raptors for my main boot raid array. I have a maxtor in my media center which is to be sold and replaced with a seagate when i get chance, its noisey.

I'm just getting towards the final stages of re-jigging my room (aka cleaning out all the junk), so not that I've changed my desk slightly, I figured I'd upload some slightly better pics:

This is the view of most of my desk,

main_view.jpg

The wodden shelf at the top of the pic contains some old music CDs, some drinking glasses, and 50 DVD+Rs.

external_hdd.jpg

The above pic is of the second part of the desk, which is pretty empty :) The Belkin Enclosure contains a Western Digital 80GB HDD, and the modem is a WebStar cabel modem. Just to the left of the modem is the audio control for my Creative Speakers, which I picked up this morning.

This is the actual main part of the desk - the money shot :)

laptop.jpg

The laptop is a Microstar 7276 laptop, which has the following system specs:

Intel PIV 2GHz Processor.

256MB RAM <-- I'm hoping to upgrade this to at least 512 next month.

32MB Graphics card.

20GB Internal HDD, 80GB USB2 HDD.

Dual 15" Display (2048x768)

Windows XP Professional Operating system.

Microsoft Natural Keyboard, and IntelliMouse

Between the keyboard and the laptop, I've got my mp3 player, which is a Nomad Zen (40GB Model), it's currently connected to my new speakers (I-Trigue L3500). On top of the fancy empty DVD cases ( :) ) I've got my USB Floppy Drive (above that's the remote control for my TV) and a spare USB cable, which is plugged into a 4way USB 2 hub, which is just behind the cases. I usually plug my camera into this.

second_monitor.jpg

For some reason, this pic didn't turn out to well, but it shows my second monitor, and my Multimedia Keyboard, which is plugged into my second machine, which is in the gray cabinet on the left of the first pic. On top of the Ritz crackers (:)) there's the receiver for my wireless mouse.

tv_monitor.jpg

The monitor / TV Combo is a Samsung 15" TFT model, underneath that's my old DVD Player (Plays multiregion discs no problem, the only problem is it's almost 4 years old, so it's built like a brick). The speakers are just some cheap Labtec speakers, but they do the job.

shelf.jpg

This is the shelfing I've got to the left of the right of the room, along where my desk runs. It runs the length of the room, but I only tend to use stuff in the first two rows. The books are the ones I've recently read, or (in the case of Deception Point) I'm about to read, and then next to them are some of the TV shows that I've got on DVD. On the second row, the black DVD cases (next to the Harry Potter books) are DVDs that I've created myself, they mostly contain computer backups, and other bits and pieces)

So yeah, that's my workstation, the rest of the room is currently full of the junk that I've yet to find a place for, the window and a bed. Under the desk, aside from my subwoofer, there's a 28 litre Fridge, and about 20 miles of chaotic cabling :)

Woo! Nice Monitor i have the same

It is a pretty good monitor - I didn't pay that much for it, and the picture quality is pretty dam good, when using it as a monitor, and pretty good as a TV (not perfect, but that's because of the shocking broadcast quality 'round by where I live). I'm thinking of moving the monitor and DVD player onto the "empty" desk, and getting a 17" widescreen for the second machine (which I use for DVD burning, game play and mainly storing stuff on)

Dark_ph0enix

nice mouse! I have same!! :p :p :p :p :D :D :D :happy:

Also, I see, many peoples, who posted their screens here have MS IntelliOptical 1.1A :happy:

Yeah - I've noticed that as well - I've gotta be honest, when it comes to keyboards / mice the most comfortable ones I've used have always been Microsoft ones, which is something I originally didn't think would be the case, but I guess it just goes to show. As for audio stuff - where possible I try and use Creative (both my mp3 players have been from Creative), for the simple fact that I think they're dam good :)

As for HDDs - that Western Digital has taken a hammering in the last year, in terms of the GBs that have been sent to and from it, and it's still performing excellently - once it's powered up, it and the enclosure are perfectly silent, and it generates virtually no heat.

Here is my temporary one at my parents house until I move out (hopefully soon).

The usual:

Monitor: 2 Samtron 17" CRT's (78DF, 77V)

Mouse: Logitech iFeel

Keyboard: Microsoft Natural Multimedia

WebCam: Logitech QuickCam

Speakers: Boston Acoustics Digital BA790 (2.1 Set) (discountinued unfortunately)

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
