Also added som extra 1024mb to the system :) So now it has 1536mb pc3200 :D (1024 before, 512mb+2x256mb) - Now 3x512mb :)

Took my old 2x256mb and added to my vapochill system...

I'm gonna post mine soon once my camera makes its way back from Germany on Tuesday ;)

I just got my new desk and chair and even the monitor and tower look small on it and its 20.1" TFT with a big midi tower :pinch:

I've got my speaker system dotted around the room to with my TV/Hi-Fi/PS2 exactly opposite where the pillow on my bed is. Thing is, I don't get hardly any reception :(

Other thing thats a bummer is: My desk doesn't match the rest of my furniture, its light beech and the rest is a darker beech. :wacko: :unsure:

Apple bidet, anyone?

Yeah it'd fit right in with their other white cases. I've been saying Apple stuff looks like it belongs in a bathroom for a while.

Very nice vaio, and im I have noticed that alot of laptop users keep there factory stickers on them. Just a random thing I have been seeing. If it was me I would rip them off immediatly...

I pulled the Centrino and XP stickers off my thinkpad pretty quick. They start looking bad once they start getting worn from typing.

And about the 20" vs 24" comment. Don't remember your username. Why? If he got the 20" for the 400 dollar sale price then it wouldn't make much sense. If he paid 750 we can all laugh at him. What's funnier is the fact you paid almost twice as much for the same panel in that Apple and you could have gotten a 2405 for a little more.

Same panel, different backlight and case. I couldn't stand having one of those Dell monitors next to my PowerBook. They're not bad, but I wouldn't want one. ;)

Apple 20" Cinema Displays might have the same panel as the Dell 2005fpw, however the aesthetics of the ACD are of a much higher caliber than the Ultrasharp line. Think about it for a second. Would you rather have black on gray plastic with a dell logo, or brushed aluminum with gloss sides and touch activated buttons?

I would choose the ACDs aesthetics anyday over the ultrasharp style, however the ultrasharps are better in value, as they are significantly cheaper.

I personally, am planning to purchase a 2405FPW and a 10.6" Sony Vaio Laptop with either a Mac Mini, an iBook 12" or a Powerbook 15". (can't decide, but prob the iBook)

there is nothing like a ACD, hes just jealous

Nope just pointing out that you can get a 24" flat panel for a little more than a 20".

The aesthetics are something you have to figure out for yourself and your budget. See the 2005fpw thread and you'll see I'm not totally against the Apple display. If I bought it though I'd feel like I overpayed. Just my opinion.

There is a head to head on Anandtech's site I believe. Apparently as long as you get a good 2005fpw (and you should at some point if you're shipped a bad one.) then there isn't much difference given the case and gimicky buttons. (Don't get me wrong it's cool but I could see it getting annoying if not implemented correctly. I'd imagine accidentally turning off the display by brushing the side or something.) The main differences I think was the Dell was brighter with better whites and the apple had better darks.

Well, here's my room.. at least for another month. Hopefully my next room's a bit bigger :(

My desk... note the penny jar - that's my video card upgrade fund :p

room1.jpg

Closer view of my desk, complete with ATI Remote Wonder and PS2 controller for use with emulators :happy:

room2.jpg

My guitars (Ibanez RG7620 7-string, Hamer CX2) and my DIY sub, which needs a LOT of work

room3.jpg

Close view of my guitars and my Digitech RP2000 effects processor, which outputs to the line-in on my Audigy

room4.jpg

My beater.. Samick "Professional", which I'd probably get rid of, but it was my first guitar so I can't for sentimental reasons :rolleyes:

room5.jpg

Teh Linux Box, tucked away in the closet.. no, it's not actually a Packard Bell.. I just liked the compact case

room6.jpg

ok rite, i waz jus wonderin how do you get thoze nice big iconz for the desktop screen??

585985615[/snapback]

It looks like IconX/DesktopX which are Stardock products. Those work pretty well, you can also use AveDesk to give your desktop big icons, though the Stardock products include more options and effects (for desktop icons).

Yeah it'd fit right in with their other white cases. I've been saying Apple stuff looks like it belongs in a bathroom for a while.

    • In what way is any of what I said incorrect? To install an update you need to close all browser instances, upping it from once a month to once a fortnight is an inconvenience for users. Particularly when updates don't offer functionality that users want (notably copilot). Security updates should come as they are needed, not on a release schedule
    • Dopamine 3.0.6 by Razvan Serea Dopamine is an awesome free audio player which tries to make organizing and listening to music as simple and pretty as possible. Dopamine has been designed for Windows 7, Windows 8.x and Windows 10 and plays mp3, ogg vorbis, flac, wma and m4a/aac music formats quite well. The best part? It's created by long-time Neowin member, Raphaël Godart. If you’re looking for a music player to handle a large music collection, you should definitely give Dopamine a try. Dopamine 3.0.6 changelog: Fixed Manually edited album covers are overwritten on the next collection refresh Fixed AppImage package not working on modern GNU/Linux distributions Deleting song from playlist sometimes fails Playback controls only work when clicking on upper half of the buttons It's unclear that files must be tagged with an external ReplayGain scanner (for example rsgain) before normalization can take effect. Change to Artist or Album tags is not reflected in the song list view nor in the Now Playing information ReplayGain issues Smart playlist filters ignore text containing accents or other special characters Some MP3 files trigger an "MPEG header not found" error due to a too-narrow initial MPEG header scan range Changed Updated the Vietnamese translation Download: Dopamine 3.0.6 | 122.0 MB (Open Source) Links: Home Page | Forum Discussion | Screenshot | Other OSes Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.
