@suntzu, nice setup. are your cases suspended off the floor?  and because of the curve on the front of those dell boxes, it looks like yours is halfway in the wall

Yes, the are strapped to arms that clamp on the desks (only $10 from ikea!). They are really sturdy too!

That's a sweet setup  but do you sit on the couch while on the PC?

LOL, no I just moved my chair out of the way for the pics, although i do tend to pass out on the couch after long counter-strike sessions!

OMG You have aliens floating in your room

I noticed that, my lens is apparently filithy!

Sunt, specs in the Rosewill case?

The Specs are as follows:

Black Clone PC (Windows Media Center 2005): P4 3.2Ghz, 2GB PC3200, 250GB SATA, RADEON 9800 PRO, INTEL D865PERL MOBO, AUDIGY 2 PLATINUM, LITE-ON 16x DVD+-RW DUAL LAYER, 2x ACER 1731 MONITORS, LOGITECH Z560 SPEAKERS, MICROSOFT FINGERPRINT READER/KEYBOARD.

The Gateway on the top shelf (Windows SBS 2003): P4 2.4Ghz, 1GB PC3200, 250GB PATA, the rest is crap!

Dell Optiplex GX270 (Suse 9.2 Professional): P4 3.0Ghz, 2GB PC3200, 200GB SATA, RADEON 9800 PRO

Well here is "the lab".? Yeah Yeah, I know I am missing a monitor for the dell on the end, my 3rd acer crapped out yesterday:((.? My 5 year old daughter helped me lay the carpeting yesterday, and I drove almost 2 hours to the closest ikea for the desks, but I think it was well worth the drive!

Yeah! I like the desk! The depth is alittle to much for my space. Those circles in the pics are ghost orb:blink:k: But many people that have them didn't know that they are ther:):) . For more info you can goto indianaghosts.homestead.com

Yeah I know ikea is sooo cheap! It was my first time there, as I stated I live in Milwaukee, WI and I had to drive to a suburb of chicago, il just to get there! The whole desk setup was less than $550 with all the addon shelves, wire racks, and swivel shelves, plus i bought 2 of the file cabinets, and 2 of the cpu holders. A similar "lan station" from cdw, or tech data is easily over 1000.00! I am very very happy with the quality of the parts also. I highly reccomend!

Hi wonder if one of you guys with the ikea jerker desk could tell me if a 21" CRT (Iiiyama vision master pro) will fit on it ok, It says on the website that it can take upto a 21" monitor but not sure if it means a 21" TFT or both, thanks  :)

Well, it does get quite annoying when there is about 10 pictures @ 1024x768 in one post alone, let alone in a post just to add "OMFG! WOW! WHAT A ****ING NICE SETUP!"

I don't dispute that but the original poster stated it was against the rules and I have never seen anything about quoting images in any of the neowin rules.

I was trying to figure out where this was so I could take a look at them.

My Z-5500's packed up the day I got my 2005FPW. Just no power going through them at all. Logitech said its a hardware fault and I should get them replaced from my POP (Point of Purchase) Which is eBuyer. Shame there out of stock.

The 680's look so old school compared to the 5500's!

And my 2005FPW... Well i'm not happy with its quality, Dead pixels, Backlight bleed, TERRIBLE screen door.

If you want a picture of it ill do one, but i'm not happy with it at the moment.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
