I have a glass desk as well and in no way do I regret getting it.  I think it looks more sleek and it isn't as big a deal as IK says it is.

It does look very sleep, thats why I bought it. I guess its not as bad as I said it is.

Glass Desks look cool but I'd imagine finger prints, smudges etc would be annoying.

Id also think twice about thowing my wallet down it :blink:

Also, You have to use a ugly mouse pad :(

They are annoying.

but not expensive?

IK .:. 47, you should mount one of those monitors up on the wall, and have a central monitor. Sort of in an upside down T, like that funky tetris piece. I was thinking of getting a 4th monitor, but A) It was a waste of money, and B) It was 100% pointless. I do a lot of programming now and that's why I have it set up the way I do, however, I recently converted the leftmost monitor to a linux box so it's no longer 3 screens on 1 machine. No matter how sexy it looks, it was 1 big waste.

One thing I am glad about, I didn't waste as much money as you IK, hahaha poor soul. BTW, do you even have all 4 monitors hooked up? I skipped a few pages and last I saw only 2 monitors were running.

^^  I use windex spray.

Once my desk is clean, it looks pro.

But a minute later, you see dust particles on the desk.

Thats what annoys me.

but, what can you do right?

its all good.  :happy:

I use the spray too, but for slight touch ups I use the wipes. But then it doesn't look right with part of it being clean so I have to do the whole desk. And yea, mine gets dusty instantly too. That part sucks, but I like having glass overall. :)

well at least i know IK 47 and "candyshop" may have a bunch of monitors but cant take pictures worth a dime. Maybe they should sell one and get some photography lessons.

I agree with you 108% When I take pictures with my dad's nikon, they all turn out nice though. Its just with this stupid sony that they come out all unfocused and with bad lighting. 80mm forever!!

I agree with you 110%

Also, You have to use a ugly mouse pad :(

585328841[/snapback]

well...

a. mousepads are NOT ugly if you get a *real* mousepad. not some ratpadz bs or sumthin. go for either a steelpad s&s or qpad xxxl lowsense. or, if you like pure cloth and not hybrids or plastic, you can get the steelpad qck+

b. all those ppl saying "does a mousepad make such a difference". YES YES YES YES YES! without a mousepad i would be driven made by the inaccuracy and as well by the NOISE! just try out a steelpad s&s with a good mouse and some skatez... i promise you that you will be amazed by the difference! if something happened to my steelpad i would seriously commit suicide :p

oh ye, and its worth mentioning that almost ALL pro gamers use steelpad s&s's. these include sk-gaming, astralis, d-skyline, alternate attax, mouzesports, pcg, Skolpojkarna, pentragram.cnn, 3d, D!E, MIBR. the only two pro teams i know of who dont use them are EYEBALLERS and NoA (who recently won cpl winter) they use qpads and x-ray pads respectively.

i cant believe how many people here dont use pads. its blasphemy. you cant call urself anything in computing without a decent pad :rofl: and ppl spend so much on mouses, the least you could do is to let the mouses be accurate!

BUY MOUSEPADS!!! :angry:

soz for all the banging on, just really does make a massive diff. :yes:

omg scraggles!

I only bought them because you told me too!

remember not too long ago I pmed you about it?

then you said it was good?

omg, $2300 down the drain...

Im definately thrwoing these away.

Maybe you should've used your head?

Hello,

I really admire your 3 LCD setup, and was wondering how to go about and get myself one.  Just wondering,,

What type of graphics cards do you need to support 3 monitors?

Do you get good performance in games?

Is your setup on Analogue or DVI?

What size monitor is the best?

Currently, I own a 17" dell ultrasharp, and am thinking of either getting a 2001FP or two more 17" ones.

Thanks,

IK

Thanks. I use 2 video cards. Both are GeForce FX5200's. One AGP, which one monitor is plugged into, and the second has the other two plugged in, which is PCI. The whole setup is analogue. I'd say if your going to get any other LCD's go straight for BenQ. BenQ is the company that manufactures dell LCD's.

I don't get good performance on games, because the card I use for games sucks. I'm going to be upgrading it to a 6800 ultra at the end of this month.

Oh okay,

So all i have to do is a buy a pci graphics card? good. Thanks for your help.

Cool desk, I'm tempted by a nice glass desk. Could be my next purchase...

thanks guys :)

I have this desk http://www.officemax.com/max/solutions/pro...ckOID=537078873

I wasn't expecting to find anything nice at Officemax but the desk spoke to me it was perfect. It does get kinda dusty but I have this nice cotten cloth I had with my glasses it takes the dust off with one swipe I don't have to spend a lot of time scrubbing. And yes the holes on the keyboard and mouse thing (what ever you call it) sucks I tried putting a piece of paper underneath twice but ended up picking up a really thin mouse pad. Most importantly the table was so simple to put toghether.

    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
