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:

    • Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky      
    • Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
