Why do people feel the need to post artsy pictures of their electronic equipment? It's a ****ing computer.

Umm, I have a question, WHY are you at Neowin if you don't like looking at electronic equiment? Anyone who says "its a ****ing computer" obviously isn't Neowin material... computers are valued more by the people in this community than by the average consumer. :rolleyes:

Of course they are. But do we really need to see an artistic photo of a computer? I mean I could see something just like that on DevArt. I view this thread to look at someone's workspace, not what their photo skills can do.

Some people enjoy taking pictures of their workstation in an "artsy" way. Nobody is forcing you to look at said pictures.

Well, I've not posted here for a while, and hence thought the situation needed to be rememdied. So, without further ado, I present... me:

Firstly, my workstation at a glance:

fullworkstation9hi.th.jpg

As you can see, that is my newly-acquired 22 inch (yes, you read that correctly - twenty two) monitor. I'm loving it to bits, and it's by far the best thing I've ever bought. It also just happened to set my back about as much as a modest 17" LCD would've, yet is considered the best CRT in the world. After having it for about a month and a half, I've decided I'll never go the LCD route, but rather wait for SED displays to become commonplace!

And here's another photo of my monitor: (no, the upper surround isn't curved, it's just my camera playing a few last tricks on me!)

monitor6kd.th.jpg

And now for my headphones:

headphones9lo.th.jpg

They're really nice, with rather good bass, though I feel that somehow they could sound fuller. (basically, they need a proper amp. and not my soundcard.)

Oh, and if anyone was wondering, that's boiling hot tea next to them.

And a nice pic. of my Qpad:

mousepad4ii.th.jpg

If there's one thing that annoys me about some people here on neowin, it's that many users claim mousepads to be useless, (mainly those who've never tried a good pad), and advocate the use of desks (*eugh*) upon which they claim they can use (I'd positively call it abuse), their mouse. I find that my Qpad is just perfect! I've tried a number of good pads, including the steelpad 4d, which I loved, though it tore my mouse skatez to pieces, and large cloth pads like the FatPad and DKTPad. None of them stack up to the hybrid surface provided by the QPad! It feels almost like a cloth pad, yet with less slipperiness, and more responsiveness. It is also very kind to my skatez, as I'm not made of gold, and Teflon just happens to be slightly costly!

Next up is a full view of the shelves ontop of my desk:

shelfall3bw.th.jpg

... and a view of the left side ...

shelfleft2mi.th.jpg

... and of the right side ...

shelfright7cc.th.jpg

The lamp, if anyone should want to know, was bought not by myself, but by my mum - somewhere in Southgate, London, though I'm not sure exactly where.

And, I'll even throw in a pic of the lower shelves:

lowershelves6un.th.jpg

And one of the corner of my desk, where I just happen to keep my toothbrush (for some strange reason):

toothbrushandcord3rs.th.jpg

The calendar is from Rome (my mum bought it back for me after returning from her holiday there last week - I of course, had to stay behind!) The peg there (if anyone was curious) is to keep my mouse cord from sliding backwards through the hole that I've cut for it. I'd get a steelpad cord holder, but I've not the cash right now. The toothbrush (for those interested in dental technology) is a Braun Professional Care 5500!

My case:

case9sb.th.jpg

It's an Arctic Cooling Silentium T2, with all fans inside it (including the PSU fans, thanks to a little bit of clever modding) undervolted to 5V, which is regulated by an antec fan controller behind the fascia-######-door thing. All of my silencing has, believe it or not, made my computer considerably "silent"! I can only just tell that it's on if it's a really quiet night. (apart from the heat which it exudes, which can be likened to a 350 watt convection heater being placed a few inches from one's.)

Last (though certainly not least) is my chair:

chair5sh.th.jpg

It's O.K. at best, and I wasn't expecting much more of a 100 quid Argos chair. However, I'm planning to save furiously, and either buy a Herman Miller Aeron chair (a sound investment, in my opinion), or one of these. I've sat on both, and find the latter slightly more comfortable due to its headrest, though I'd probably say less durable - Herman Miller chairs are simply indestructable!

*Phew* That concludes my rather lengthy post, I guess. If anyone has questions, please ask them!

Post Scriptum: Sorry about the rant when it comes to mouse pads, I just feel rather strongly about the subject! ;)

Hey andrewfee what size TV is that??

Looks nice.

586432597[/snapback]

It's a 32" LCD.

I'm actually planning on selling it now; before I did up my room, I was looking diagonally onto it, giving me about 8/9ft of viewing distance.

I'm now about 5/6ft because I'm looking straight onto it, so 32" is a bit big for SD content. Then again, when the next-gen consoles come out, most of my time will be spent with HD material... :wacko:

It's going to be hard to adjust though; if only you could get good 28" LCDs. (am looking at the new Sony V series displays)

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
