I need a better cam and a new desk, but I just got my new Dell 8400 with 19" LCD and wanted to post it...I built my other PC some time ago but now days its cheaper just to buy it already made up...Dell with 3GHz, 512 Ram, 40Gig Drive with LCD cost me 499.00 after coupons and rebates. I will add more HD space later along with more Ram. post-36290-1113852334_thumb.jpg

Not much has changed, Put my Router upright... ummm about it.

Sorry about the poor picture quality, Dodgy miserable British day indoor lighting.

how those Z-5500's treating you? Do you think that it's a good idea to upgrade from Z-5300e to Z-5500? I have 13 days left to decide.

I paid $199 for the Z-5300's, and the Z-5500's cost $365.

btw, I think the router looks cooler when it's horizontal.

I love your setup Hypoxiaicon... it is so clean and all those lovely items... the beautiful speakers... the top-notch LCD and keyboard/mouse... I'm drooling. :D

If you have money to spare, buy them.

There excellent speakers. Just dont use the Master on/off switch on the subwoofer otherwise the fuse will blow.

The Router got too hot sat normal, keeps it cooler upright :)

Why do you say poor image quality that picture looks great :)

The flash made a bad reflection of my Router among other things.

Also, the original Reso + Size was around 2.5MB.

I had to resize to 1024x768 and then reduce quality to fit it under 250KB.

very neat setup  Hypoxiaicon :)

with black thermaltake case i should say WoW

btw whats that keyboard?

i would buy one for my setup  :woot:

Yeh... Im not impressed with the Coolermaster Wavemaster at all really.

Its a Logitech diNovo Cordless :)

to tell you the truth i wasnt all that  impressed with the wavemaster either.

585797614[/snapback]

Yeh, dont hold back Its an average case really.

If you are thinking of replacing it anytime soon, maybe consider a thermaltake shark?

585797636[/snapback]

Hmm, Im not too keen on those either but I shall Take a look when im back

Why weren't you all impressed with the Wavemaster?

585797725[/snapback]

Small internal area, Poor cooling, Top Fan is useless as it makes far too much noise (Yes ive tried different fans and adjusting speeds) Its heavy...

Just generally not impressed with it, I would not buy another.

I only did the side panel today, and I've just done a big clean today as well. You won't get my room neater than this:

post-88749-1113942754.jpg

View from my door, That's my computer on the right and the internet box on the left.

That corner with the desk with the monitor and the computer is the only part of my room which is really mine, as mines the computer room everyone else uses my bed as a seat and the entire room as their own.

post-88749-1113942924.jpg

The internet box with my dad's nice leather seat (I'm on it right now). And before anyone shouts anything those things on the top shelf are CD spindles not one some others would immediately think. And the two bits of paper: ones contact details of the local pc store the other is a scribbled note saying 'No place like 127.0.0.1'.

Witty.

My rig, with the new side panel. Did it all myself, check out the overclocking and pc modding section on the post your Case mod lighting pics section. Page 34 is me.

I've tidied up all the cables as best I can and just under the desk you can see my cunningly hidden speakers. 2 horrible satellite speakers.

The two wires coming to the front are keyboard and mouse which I'll show you how annoying they get in the next photo.

post-88749-1113943167.jpg

As you can see the wires aren't too long, before my brother went to uni (so I could steal his chair) I had to lie on the floor with my head propped up on my bin with my legs all scrunched up, the keyboard in my lap at a 89degree angle and my mouse hand constantly keeping it from falling over. The mouse also doesn't work, it's extremely bad.

Getting a wireless set ASAP.

The chair has made a big difference but now I have to balance my mouse and mousemat on the edge of my knees and they keep falling off, I've still got kayboard and mouse in my lap. Wireless will soon have me lying on my bed playing doom3 properly though :)

All in all not the best setup but until I'm older and can have my own place, job etc. all that, I'll have to live with it, and I'm proud :yes:

    • In what way is any of what I said incorrect? To install an update you need to close all browser instances, upping it from once a month to once a fortnight is an inconvenience for users. Particularly when updates don't offer functionality that users want (notably copilot). Security updates should come as they are needed, not on a release schedule
    • Dopamine 3.0.6 by Razvan Serea Dopamine is an awesome free audio player which tries to make organizing and listening to music as simple and pretty as possible. Dopamine has been designed for Windows 7, Windows 8.x and Windows 10 and plays mp3, ogg vorbis, flac, wma and m4a/aac music formats quite well. The best part? It's created by long-time Neowin member, Raphaël Godart. If you’re looking for a music player to handle a large music collection, you should definitely give Dopamine a try. Dopamine 3.0.6 changelog: Fixed Manually edited album covers are overwritten on the next collection refresh Fixed AppImage package not working on modern GNU/Linux distributions Deleting song from playlist sometimes fails Playback controls only work when clicking on upper half of the buttons It's unclear that files must be tagged with an external ReplayGain scanner (for example rsgain) before normalization can take effect. Change to Artist or Album tags is not reflected in the song list view nor in the Now Playing information ReplayGain issues Smart playlist filters ignore text containing accents or other special characters Some MP3 files trigger an "MPEG header not found" error due to a too-narrow initial MPEG header scan range Changed Updated the Vietnamese translation Download: Dopamine 3.0.6 | 122.0 MB (Open Source) Links: Home Page | Forum Discussion | Screenshot | Other OSes Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.
