Also, totally unrelated, but why can I not use BBcode? Is that not a thing anymore?

This is my man cave and my place of work (at home)

 

I Rebuilt my Pc in October.

 

i7 Skylake, 32gb DDR4, 512gb NVME drive etc, very little to actualy take a picture of once its built.

 

In January I got myself a few new Christmas presents for it ...

 

The PHILIPS Brilliance BDM4065UC Ultra HD 40" LED Monitor, and I finally got a sound output worthy of my Rokit 8 Monitor speakers, a USB soundblaster X-fi coupled with a Musical Fidelity V90 DAC .  Wish you could hear how good it sounds,  next on my list is the KRK Rokit matching Studio Subwoofer, there's plenty of punchy mid-bass, but it would be nice to get the sub-bass too.

 

Pictures ...

 

My Desk now ...

The DAC ..

The Creative Soundblaster thingy (TBH this serves as a volume knob and gives a clean optical out, its other features are unused)..

The Rest of my office ....

 

Workshop area for repairs and builds ...

Mobile Devices ...  Surface Pro 3 (i7 / 8gb / 512gb) iPad mini 4 16gb LTE with Logitech keyboard, HP Stream 7, Lumia 930 (Plus iphone 6 128gb in my hand)

My 2 old Monitors are behind, I was thinking I may get 2 monitor arms and put them either side of my new one in Portrait orientation.

 

 

USB Hub/ Phone/ Printer / Paperwork etc zzzz

I've got cupboards full of paperwork and spare parts (mostly used) etc behind me but there's no need to post that here.

Was talking the Photo for reasons and decided to post it here as well.

First, yes, that is a Kushan Mothership. Second, yes, that is a Mad Cat OmniMech.

 

Laptop off the edge is an older Apple MacBook Air 13".

Flanking monitors are Dell 23" Ultrasharps U2311H, centre is a 27" HP Pavilion 27cw.

Soundsystem is a Z5500, as I'm sure most people can recognize given it's been around for an age. Headset is a wireless Creative Tactic 3D Omega.

Keyboard is a SteelSeries Apex RAW. Mouse is a Logitech Performance MX. Also shown is a Logitech Harmony 700 Remote, which is one of the greatest things ever invented.

Controller is a Steam Controller.

1) I think that looks more like "The Pride of Higara" itself than the Kushan Mothership - there doesn't seem to be that empty space in the front, from where we can see it.

 

2) Where did you get that *and* the Mad Cat / Timber Wolf?

 

(You can surmise that I'm very much a "Homeworld" fan (looking forward to "Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak"!!) *and* a MechWarrior / BattleMech fan as well)

 

To sum it up: Well done!

Thanks :)

 

The Mad Cat is a WizKids miniature/toy/whatever you want to call it, just happened to find in a comic/game/etc hobby store. I never played the WizKids game but I saw it and had to have it, as the Mad Cat is the iconic Mech of my time (I got into MechWarrior/BT with MechWarrior II). I'd kill for a decent small model of one, the TT Ones are too small, and the big one is too rare/expensive lol. I do have a TT version of the Ryoken (Stormcrow) also.. you know, to go with my name handle and all :)

 

Pride of Higara, Mothership.. close enough in my book :p

 

I want toe Deserts of Kharak, but alas it's probably gonna be a while before I can afford it :(

Also waiting on the new Battletech game by HBS :)

I think you and I have similar desks. Although, yours looks like a corner one where mine is just rectangular. How do you find having a glass desktop?

I found mines at office depot. It believe the brand is from Realspace

Here is mine for 2016. Not much have changed since late 2015 other than the new wall mount for speakers, and upgrading my AC USB antenna from a Linksys USB 2.0 one to a Netgear USB 3.0. Oh and some better cable management :)

    • App, useful & Teams shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
