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.

    • Microsoft hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC

      By richstad · Posted

      I think every American should have a course in a 'dry sense of humour' at school; and perhaps 'using sarcasm in jest' oh, and also 'the use or irony in humour'. Slapstick is just about all Americans can understand. It's a pity, as this is the most basic of humour, that requires no thought at all. It's hilarious to watch a whole room collapse with laughter while yanks sit scratching their heads...
    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
