You are one spoilt mofo. That loos like a hackers or gamers dream. Loving the whole black/silver/glass theme. Looks amazing,

@DarkBlackCrow - Going for the minimalist approach? I like it.

You know jack **** about hacking. Hackers don't have dreams like that. Lights out, glass desk, dual monitors... all they need is any old laptop, *nix, and a few minutes. Anything beyond that is just frosting on the cake.

I recently got my CEH and have run into a few dedicated "Security Specialists" and none of them are your TV hackers. Better do your homework before you start the assumptions.

Thanks. I like it too but then it is only temporary. I want to get a nice big glass desk but I don't know if I will ever really want to spend that kind of money as I have to have an empty desk about the size of this one for when I have paperwork everywhere between games (I work from home at the moment). A piece of glass that big will be expensive. I also need to finish my system first as it all needs watercooling and a reservior building out of another Coolermaster. I also need to settle in one place as I am moving around a fair bit at the moment; when I settle I will get a three bed place; one as a bedroom, one office and one gameroom ;)

It's funny that was with the lights on, well lamp. My lights are in the ceiling on the other side of my room. Sorry couldn't get it brighter, I tried the flash but it doesn't come out nice.

Thanks again for the comments guys.

Do any of you guys have your center speaker right next to your computer case? I have a HTS center speaker (rather large), and its shielded, but I'd like to keep my case on top of my desk. I can't shake this feeling that even though the speaker is shielded it would still do damage (long term maybe) to the computer itself. :(

Any thoughts?

My homework = most my friends are hackers and I've done my fair bit and let me assure you, we'd love to hack from that desk.

It'd just add to the 'i'm better than you' effect.

And no we weren't black hats either, we just liked to feel the power every so often.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Danielx64 · Posted

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
