Wow.. very nice man, where did you get the furniture?

Thanks; it was Ikea, of all places. The unit with my TV is two "Oppli" units that have been modified to stack together. (locks together as if it was supposed to be like that)
Iam going to have to seal some stuff from you...

:laugh:

I've now got a 250gig PVR in there, and a couple of Guitar Hero guitars, but I've still not found a decent tripod, so I've not got pics yet.

He! He! .. look at mine ...

Isn't it really uncomfortable to sit cross legged on your bed when you're using the PC?

Here's my setup

My PS2 and PSP along with all my PS2 and PSP games, and some PSone games. Running MGS3 and Metal Gear Ac!d

WhiteZombie, my Mac (or Macalac as the missus calls it)

TheOffspring, my main box with Windows XP on it

146437766_1bd0637798.jpg

Soulfly, the Linux server-esq box with Ubuntu on it. Still in tesitng though

My actual desktop showing Mac with OSX Tiger running and the Windows XP PC playing Final Fantasy XI.

I got the Win and Linux boxes running through the one TFT, mouse and keyboard through a KVM switch, which is amazing.

Though, my speaker system only connects to TheOffspring at the moment, am working with a wire solution to get it working with the mac as well and maybe Soulfly.

Saving up for a new graphics card and TFT to dual-screen my desktop as I am getting into more arty web design with Windows now.

Part of my CD collection for show and my crappy little guitar. Just for show

i like your mousepad

Cheers, been thinking of getting rid of it as it's supposed to be used as USB hub, but I don't use them due to the only extra devices being my PSP going in there, and it's better to have a direct connection.

Could get a custom mouse pad though using my avatar!

I know .. thats why i got a wireless keyboard / mouse .... i generally stack up to pillows .. laydown .. be comfortable and use my pc ....

ahh, here we go another smug person (like I haven't heard this before).... I have a custom built PC I put together myself, and let me tell you neither you nor I can build a PC like Alienware, FNW, or Voodoo. I don't care about saving a few dollars here and there. besides the top builders get there parts way before Newegg. "we mach what we don't have" :p

Ruuurgh, I want to take a pic of my gaming area. >.<

Got sooooo many controllers right now, got my 360 just recently... and so many, many empty cola bottles. ;D

Plus of course my trusty NES that NEVER gets stowed away. It's even been halfway across the country on a little trip with me.

Oh, and I'm thinking of buying a 38" LCD TV with DVI and SCART + some other crap input. Too bad it only goes to something like 1300x1000 or whatever, can't really use it for a monitor. Oh well.

    • Does anyone here know if these updates are integrated into the UUP dump isos?
    • Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.4 changelog: Motrix Next 3.9.4 promotes the 3.9.4 beta cycle to stable. This release refreshes bundled engine binaries, improves task detail readability and copy actions, expands link handling for magnet and ED2K workflows, polishes responsive navigation and text wrapping, updates browser extension documentation, and refines network preference controls. New Features Task Detail copy actions — Added copyable values for task metadata and reusable render functions for long text fields. Magnet and ED2K lifecycle support — Added task lifecycle handling for magnet and ED2K links. History cleanup for deleted tasks — Deleted tasks can now remove matching history records. User-Agent management — Added user-agent management and improved related network preference controls. Browser extension documentation — Added the Firefox Add-ons link for the Motrix Next extension. Improvements Engine binaries — Updated bundled binaries for supported architectures. Task Detail readability — Long task names, URLs, tracker values, and copyable metadata now render more clearly. Deletion messaging — Refined localized task deletion text for clarity and consistency. Text wrapping — Improved URI input wrapping and task name multiline display.

Proxy controls — Improved proxy button styling in network preferences.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
