New case :p

My CPU is now running at 35c-45c, before it was at 45c-50c :)

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.

    • I don't find them "bitchy" or "whiny". I think the term you should use it, uhm, "passionate."
    • Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
    • Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
