Here is some pictures of how my workstation looks like.

I used my Samsung Galaxy Note with the camera application called 'Vignette' to take those pictures. I also used the image filter called 'London' in the camera app to get this type of effect. And the pictures might be quite big here to.

Lets start with my whole desktop.

Now to my Logitech Illuminated Keyboard and to my lovely Bowers & Wilkins P3 headphones.

Here you can see my shiny new Samsung 9-series laptop with Intel Core i7-3517U CPU, 8 GB DDR 3 RAM, 128 GB SSD (Samsung SSD) and Windows 8 Professional.

Now to the inside of my main computer.

Remember that the quality on my pictures isn't as good as they would be original, because the filter in Vignette.

What do you think of my workstation i use daily?

EDIT: Yes, one of my LED fans in the front of the computer case is broken, so i had to cut the power to the fan, since it makes werid noises.

Looks a nice rig, I wouldn't use any filters on its photos though,

Filters would look good for a building / landscape pic, but for a rig, needs to be as clear as possible ;)

This is my first post so I oughta make it good :)

This is my desktop at home. Please not that I build computers at both of my jobs. One is build to suit and the other is build to order with fixed specs of i7 3370k and 2gb ram.

This is my desktop at home. I make movies on it, virtual machines to test my ideas on, I write code, do homework, and watch movies. I recently got into Farcry 3, I don't know if anyone here has heard of it but I think it's the best thing ever - right next to pinball and tetris.

i7 960 @ 3.2 on Sabertooth x58 with 6gb 1600 ram, 160gb Intel ssd, 560GTX TI and 550GTX TI work together great for multi-screen but I'm thinking PowerColor 7970 with eyefinity and get 2 more of the 42 inch tv's but I really don't think it'd be necessary. The TV is a 42 inch LG and I love it, 23 inch viewsonic, and a 17' acer (borrowed it from work with a linux box). Macbook Pro 15" i7 2.7ghz 3740qm (i think) 750gb 72k RPM, 8gb RAM, on and my logitech 5.1 set. Windows 8 is in the haus!

If you're lucky, I might put up a picture of the system I scored @micom Systems. Studio machine went down so I had to replace it quick so I'm installing some software now and trying to capture the image in a vm.

If that's your PC on the top, get a new case, so you can stick that H80 in there, and clean up your wire mess.

I would be scared of that monitor on top wanting to end it all and end yours as well...... please make sure you don't push it over the edge emotionally or it will jump...

Anyone with a data-limited plan should turn off image downloading if they are worried about running over. Or simply not go to a thread that is basically ALL IMAGES.

Common sense is rarer than helium/diamonds in today's world, so that would simply just not make sense.

That's a pretty messy build...whats with the cooler hanging out the case? And why are there single wires all over? It looks like you tapped into lines? not exactly safe.

The chair is a bit expensive just a warning lol http://ergohuman.com/products/Ergohuman-Chair-LE10ERGLO-%252d-Low-Back-and-Leather.html

There are a lot of different modes to set the chair so you can feel comfortable. I kind of wish I bought the head rest lol I fell asleep in it quite a few times haha

The desk is from ikea

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
