I bought my work Powermac G4 home this weekend to mess about on, so my PC has temporarily been cast aside and I am posting to you from Safari on OSX 10.2.8 :D

Anyway - here is a shot of my (hastily tidied) desk and a close up of the mac... oh, and my aluminium cased PC just sat by the side of it :)

Labtec: 4 computers in your room? What represents the use of each of your 4 computer? :|

I upgrade frequently with the spare money I get building computers for friends, family, and some of their friends/family (built about 80 computers and I charge $100 - $200 per computer). Anyways, I have two computers in use always & other two are the ones I used to use before I upgraded the two I'm using now. Usually, I have about 4-5 friends over & they hook up the computers and we scrim Counterstrike online or play other games. I can't do that anymore because I sold some parts from the two computers not in use, I just need a few new cheap parts & then I can sell them. :p

What do you mean? The people I build for aren't usually cheap, they just say build what you think is the best & they go with it because they trust me & a lot of people come to me (recommendation from their friends). I recently built a P4 2.4C overclocked to 3.0 ghz, Radeon 9800 non-pro (modded to Pro), 512 MB PC3200 Ram, Hercules Fortissimo 7.1, 80 gig WD 8 mb cache HD, DVD/CD-rw computer with 17" NEC LCD1760V monitor for $1550. Computer costed $950 to build & the Monitor was $400 ($1350). Similar spec'ed Model at Dell or whatever with LCD costed $2500 or more and in some cases way over $3000 (although they offer printer, cheap $40 speakers, and some software. I can provide that as well). As for lower end models I can build them decent ones for about $400 - $500 (Barton 2500 overclocked to $400 XP3200 speeds, etc) & only charge $100 ($500-$600 total) & in the end still better offer then what most companies will.

Whats the make of the black case? looks really cool :)

Raidmax: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?...tion=11-156-123 $36 + $15 shipping, isn't that bad and includes a decent 350 watt power supply. The power supply supported Barton 2500 overclocking to 2.4 ghz, and supported my Radeon 9800 in it as well so it's fairly good. But only problem is that it scratches so easily.

i like the mini barbebone case, but since ur into overclocking, air flow must be a bitch in that thing...

Not really, the IDE cables are split open. And the IcyQ technology built in the case. There's 2 fans, power supply directly over the CPU fan & another on the side. With the overclocking I get 50 - 51 degrees (that's with the retail heatsink / fan of the P4 2.4C sometimes 52 degrees when I do heavy gaming) on my friends roomy case system with specific overclocking heatsink/fan he gets 52-53 degrees. It's also very quiet, you can barely hear it.

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
    • Hey what's about the proton vpn firefox extension ? It's not working today
    • On what though? Not Ray Tracing.
    • Agreed, but now my muscle memory immediately creates a layer for each text portion, so editing is made a little easier.
    • Happy for him, it is one of the first apps I install on a new Windows machine, been using it for years!
