I've got a frosted glass desk (similar setup to FatCat's - there's a pic somewhere back in this thread:P) and it works real well. Hard to see when it's dirty and washes off real well. Definitely the best desk I've used out of about 4 in my life. As long as you don't have big CRTs I'd heartily recommend one to anyone!

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.

IK, what I was talking about is how you wasted the money on those monitors when you could have saved a fortune. I NEVER recommended actually getting anything. I just suggested that IF you got something, DO NOT WASTE THE MONEY ON DELL. ahem, ok?

I am trying to find a desk that will fit both of my CRT monitors without breaking.  My current desk bows in the middle like WhizzKid's since it is made of cheap compressed wood(Nothing against your desk WhizzKid).  I was thinking of getting 2 IKEA Jerkers and making a setup like the guy a few pages back had.  Anybody have any suggestions?  I was wanting to spend less than $500 if possible.

LOL. My desk doesn't bow in the middle, it has a curved front. It is support at the bottom by two metal beams.

Sorry to suggest that. I have a slightly larger desk and 2 large 21" CRTs that put a lot of stress on the wood. Believe me, if that was a bow in your desk mine is much worse. Some days I'm afraid to put my legs under the desk for fear that they might get crushed. I guess that's the price I pay for a cheap desk and large monitors.

grrr... cant ppl stop f***ing with the page layouts by posting large images in their posts :angry:

just use the attachment system. 250k is easily enough for 3x 1024*768 images. just save them to 70% quality and use the attachment system which resizes them nicely!

funcs are kinda un-stylish. however, lotsa the USA cal-i teams swear by them, so long as they are sprayed with a silicon spray. but us euros prefer steelpads understated styling :p

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Useful to know, thanks!
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
