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:

    • I think he means you haven't reviewed previous UFC games. Of course it doesn't matter... Every time you just report on something that involves the President even if just simply what happened you guys usually get accused of being anti-Trump. We live in fun times.
    • So how did you solve the problem? Disabling Secure Boot isn’t a solution.
    • Another devilish issue surrounding these certificates is what can happen with old, unsuspecting PCs that nevertheless have Secure Boot enabled. In my case, it was a Dell with a 3rd-gen Core chip (so about 13 years old). As of the last few weeks, it was suddenly BSOD'g within about 5 minutes of booting. Turns out it was because of MS's "Secure-Boot-Update" scheduled task, which is scheduled to run 5 minutes after login. It's explained in gory detail here (this is not my post, but it was where I found the answer), but the short version is that this legacy system would need fairly elaborate, manual certificate intervention since MS's automatic cert update method cannot work. How to do that is linked late in the thread. https://www.bleepingcomputer.c...od-caused-by-scheduled-task Secure Boot wasn't at all important for this particular PC, so I disabled it to be done with the problem.
    • Winhance 26.06.12 by Razvan Serea Winhance is an open-source Windows enhancement utility designed to help users debloat, optimize, and customize Windows 10 and 11. It provides a user-friendly interface for removing unwanted apps, legacy components, and optional features safely, giving you more control over your system. With Winhance, you can improve performance, reduce clutter, and enhance privacy without the need for a clean install. Beyond basic debloating, Winhance offers extensive optimization tools. Users can tweak power plans, adjust gaming and performance settings, control notifications, and manage Windows Update behavior. Privacy-focused settings allow you to limit telemetry and data collection, while system customization options let you personalize the taskbar, Start menu, Explorer, and Windows themes. Winhance also supports installing or removing software efficiently, including external apps via WinGet integration, streamlining both new setups and daily maintenance. New AI privacy groups have been added for Windows AI, Microsoft Edge AI, and Microsoft Office AI, giving users clearer control over AI-related telemetry and feature usage. In addition, new settings in Gaming & Performance introduce AI taskbar pin toggles, options to remove AI apps, and controls for AI services and scheduled tasks, allowing users to better manage how AI components run in the background and appear in the system. For advanced users and IT professionals, Winhance integrates WIMUtil, a tool for creating custom Windows installation ISOs with automated configuration. You can generate autounattend.xml files, inject drivers, and apply your chosen Winhance settings automatically during installation. Most changes are non-destructive and reversible, with clear explanations in the GUI. Whether you’re optimizing a single PC or managing multiple systems, Winhance delivers a faster, cleaner, and highly personalized Windows experience. The Winhance.Installer.exe includes both Installable and Portable versions during setup. Winhance supports both Windows 10 and Windows 11 64-bit versions. It's regularly updated to ensure compatibility with the latest Windows updates and features. Winhance key features: Debloat Windows – Safely remove unwanted apps, features, and legacy components.

Automation with WIMUtil – Create custom Windows ISOs with integrated settings. Autounattend.xml Generator – Automate Windows installations with preconfigured options. Driver Integration – Include current system drivers in custom ISOs. Non-Destructive Changes – Reversible settings with clear explanations in the GUI. Winhance 26.06.12 changelog: Features Builder Mode — build a Winhance config file or autounattend.xml without changing anything on the PC you're sitting at. Flip the new mode switcher to Builder, set everything the way you want it, and save the result as a Winhance config or an autounattend file ready for deployment on other machines. Sponsors & Supporters page — the exit donation dialog is gone. In its place, an in-app page (heart icon or the More menu) recognizes the businesses and individual supporters who keep Winhance free. It works offline and is fully localized. Change History — Winhance now keeps a receipt of everything it does. ChangeHistory.txt records every setting change (before and after values) and every app install or removal, with clear headers for config imports and bulk actions. Open it from the More menu. Hebrew language support — Winhance is now available in 29 languages. New Explorer customizations: desktop icon visibility toggles, This PC folder visibility, an icon cache size setting, and automatic thumbnail cache cleanup. New "All apps view" setting for the redesigned Windows 11 Start menu, and the Windows 11 system tray icons setting is now a dropdown with more control. App-local UI zoom — press Ctrl +/-/0 or use Ctrl+MouseWheel to scale the whole app, just like a browser. New External Apps: EA app, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, Rockstar Games Launcher, PowerShell, and Helium Browser. Bug Fixes Layouts no longer clip when the Windows text size slider is set above 100%. Accessibility: Narrator now announces setting names on toggles and dropdowns, previously unlabeled buttons are labeled, and progress updates are announced. Silent updates now respect your custom install location instead of reverting to the default. Cancel in Review Mode no longer clears your app selections. OneNote is now detected correctly for Win32 Click-to-Run installs. Clean Start Menu applies more reliably by also writing the group policy path. WinGet errors are no longer silent — error details now show in the terminal output. Fixed a startup crash on older Windows builds caused by a .NET runtime regression. Config import now converts power setting values correctly and no longer re-applies an already-active power plan. Improvements App icons load noticeably faster and cover almost everything now, including legacy capabilities and optional features — they come from a dedicated, checksum-validated icon repository and are fetched in parallel. Software & Apps polish: per-icon tooltips, extra table columns, an app sort dropdown, relocated search, and a cleaner compact view. A warning now appears when the Connected Devices Platform Service is set to Manual or Disabled, since some Windows features depend on it.
