Post Your Workstation Photos

Thanks for your comments guys!

The Antec P180 is a great case. It looks good, it?s very easy to manage you cable inside it, it?s got a good airflow.

BTW

I know the PSU is a big heat source, but since it?s separated from the rest of the case, it doesn?t matter.

It?s located in a sort of a tunnel, just like in the G5?s.

Here's mine,

2 totally separate cpu's one screen/keyboard (Pent4 2.0Ghz overclocked to 2.6, Celeron 2.6Ghz) 2 TV PCI cards in the computers analog/diigtal

Triple Dragon LINUX satellite reciever / Force LCD TV

Maxtor external drive, ASUS MyPal PDA

Logitech wireless...................etc etc

i got the same case as you, but wow i dont know how you keep it so neat, altough you dont have the rear fan and air duct. My p180 is the total opposite, theres NO more room. Actually even if i remove the fans theres still no way i can keep it as clean as yours. Btw the case is great for people who are thinking of getting it. The only problem i have with it, is the psu is on the bottom making the the reach of some cables impossible to reach. My solution i had to buy some extensions, not expensive but still.

Today I finally got my new rig together and it?s working out very well.

Thought that I?d share some photos of it:

Quick Tips for Cable Management

1. Less is more! Do you really need all those cables from your PSU? No? Then try to hide them under/above the PSU.

Be sure to plan how you wire your cables, so you can use all the connectors on it.

2. Sleeve all your cables! It takes a lot of time and effort, but it?s really worth it.

Be sure to pick a sleeving kit that matches the rest of your components.

3. Wire all the cables carefully, you would want them to be as less visible as possible. Make modifications to your chassi if required. Cables can also be wired behind the motherboard.

Hope this will help you out a bit!

Regards,

Caspar

finally tidied up my station enough to show you lot what it looks like!

this is my setup when im at home. when im at uni i only take the main rig (sitting on the desk) and the notebook. but i go to cambridge uni so im actually at home in london more than i am at uni! the terms are like 8 weeks long! hehe! i mainly use my computers for coding, webdesign and gaming. hope you like. details of the rigs are at:-my site.

Ok here's my rig. I have it set up as a dual monitor setup with my 46" hdtv set as as the primary monitor. I then moved all the icons and start menu items to my secondary LCD monitor and all the fullscreen games show up on the hdtv in 720p. I have it hooked up through DVI to hdmi monster cables and it looks immaculate. The pictures DO NOT do it justice because the digital camera really really sucks. But I can tell you whenever I can get a game to work on this tv at the proper aspect ratio and resolution it looks spectacular. I'll never go back to gaming on a pc screen. I only use it for web browsing.

BTW I know my TV needs a stand, just haven't got around to it.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
    • ive always been fascinated by old software this is an old video player for windows from apple
