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.

nice setup. I love that monitor. Oce I throw away some junk and clear up my desk, I might look into that one.

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?

So you are saying to throw these away and buy the benq monitors that you have?

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!

I got a func mouse pad and it seems that the steelpad looks a lot better :(

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

what is it with the obsesion some people have over dazzle's computer...

your not stalking him right ???

Thats pretty funny. He went to the place the images are hosted for the selling link in his sig. If you go to the root there is a receipt. :whistle:

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • 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.
