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:

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:

    • 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.
    • <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...
    • ive always been fascinated by old software this is an old video player for windows from apple
