My room:

The modded Xbox and jtagged 360 that sit on a shelf at the bottom of my bed.

For anyone who got the wrong idea about my modded consoles...

Behind the TV is an Acer Aspire Revo Nettop that runs XBMC, the paper over it covers an annoying flashing light.

The computer room:

The non modded 360 with a hacked 250gb hard drive and the GameCube.

My gaming PC with a motivational poster about Flying Sharks :p

The various rooms in the house all connect to the gigabit switch by the printer.

Please forgive my awful bedroom but here is my latest system.

Specifications:

Asus Sabertooth X58 Motherboard

Core i7 950 @ 4.2 Ghz

6 GB (2 GB x 3) Corsair XMS3 DDR3-1600 ram in tri-channel.

EVGA Nvidia Geforce 460 GTX Superclocked

Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 TV Tuner

2 TB Hitachi SATA Drive

320 GB 2.5" HDD

LG BD-RW Drive

All housed in a Cooler Master HAF X RC-942-KKN1 case. CPU is overclocked to 4.2 Ghz and I am using a Thermaltake Frio. System was built by myself with quite a bit of sweat. I've made some mistakes building my systems, my last mistake put my current i7 system out of commission for a while since I bent and broke a few of the cpu pins. I sold my old system and used that money to purchase a new motherboard to get the system running again.

I had another 2 TB HDD, which I had sitting on top of my case and my damn cat knocked it off. After that I accidentally dropped the drive on the floor when it slipped out of my hand and the system won't recognize the drive, the drive just ticks when it spins up now. I would of had another GTX 460 in SLI and a SoundBlaster X-Fi Titanium Pro but I put it in my old system which I sold on Ebay.

I cry, I have my awesome HP Pavilion dv7-d185dx with an extra 500 GB HD I threw in it (also has a 250 GB that I ripped out my PS3) and right now I am having stupid power issues. The original power cord stopped working so I ordered a new one off ebay. Apparently, my laptop is "too smart" and sees that the one I got is a "replacement" not Genuine part so it won't let the laptop turn on while charging. Can't even just run off AC power or anything. Kinda crappy.

    • Hello, all is well I was in the UK for just over a week until last Saturday. I am now in The Netherlands.
    • Greetings and Welcome!
    • Feels like Hitman in Bond skin. But overall a great game! 👍
    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
