Quick, how's the wire clutter behind the TV?

It's nuts, I have everything hooked up to mutiple things, at one point it was undercontrol and not visable but its impossible now, i keep chaging/adding things... like just last week i added 2 optical splitters for the 360 and my HDTiVo, that added 4 more optical cables :(

verry nice dazzla and quick !

Thanks.

Dazzla, i love that computer desk and tv stand, very nice. Is it uncomfortable on the arms when typing?

Teehee.

Here's my room.

Awsome room! now thats what i wish my place looked like :(

The keyboard is actually butt up against the iMac normally, I just moved it to the middle for the photo so it's cool to type on. I decided not to fit the keyboard tray when assembling the desk, it fits level with the 2 units under the glass but I don't like them. It's from Argos as well.

The K750i is still there, check the desk on the right hand side in the compartment above the glass door. I realised I posted the same picture twice, here's the other one I was supposed to post. Just a different angle of the desk.

dang i wish i had a setup like that. can anybody recomend me a desk i just have one computer and a 5.1 surrond system doesnt need to be huge

an ikea jerker is the most popular choice....however, for me it didn't have enough places for storage built in. I like a desk that is kinda like a small office desk w/ a hatch. I just went and searched the local computer retail chains (office depot, staples, etc..)...I ended up with one from office depot for $150....http://www.officedepot.com/ddSKU.do?level=SK&id=922097&&An=browse . I'm going to post some pictures of my setup as soon as my girlfriend gets back from NY with my camera. The only thing I found out about this desk a couple days ago is that the backing on the desk won't allow my Antec P180 to slide all the way back in the tower cubby hole thing and let the door shut. It hangs over like a 1/4...no big deal really. I just took off the door...i like it better this way really, so I can see my lovely case that I paid as much as my desk for.

Rite ill start from the top......

I?m new on here (registration wise) I?ve always read things on here; mainly XP customization which I?ve sadly got a bit too lazy to deal with now?..

At the moment my setup is as follows, id like to think I?m not a newb but I just don?t remember what the specifics of my tower are o in a nutshell :

AMD XP 3200+

1 GB ram

?nice mother board ? its not the best at the time but does the job well?

16x DVD rw

m-audio 24/96 soundcard (rca)

128mb 5600 graphics

Analogue TV tuner card, with free view box running through

The worst mouse and keyboard combination ever

Cooler master centurion black case

A 21in crt monitor

Here is my disgrace for a setup at the moment?..

My aim is to make everything nice and happy

I figured I need to have a major rethink and sort something out. I?ve come to the decision that I?m selling my turntables and mixer and desk etc. that will solve 2 problems?.lack of space and lack of money

My plans/hopes are to get a full new nice desk I?m looking around 100pounds plus a new chair again just short of 100 pounds (I?m also considering modding a leather car seat as an alternative) I think it was quick that had one from Argos which looked nice with the glass top?. I?m after something that?s ?contemporary? possibly with glass incorporated. I?m trying to make my pig sty into a minimalistic ?zone?.

So from the top. I?m getting rid of all the furniture you see and the turntables then I want to get rid of my brick of a monitor and replace it with a good tft (I?m under the impression that tft is ?better? then plasma)?.I want to use this screen I get for my pc and TV.

Where do I start. What?s a good size to look for? What?s a good model/brand?

Any help much appreciated. looseone

alright geez. you will probably get moaned at for asking these upgrade questions and things on this thread but anyways... here is my opinion:-

monitor: they do not actually make plasma monitors, though they do make plasma tvs but these are huge and not so great. flat panel monitors are all LCD - liquid crystal dsiplay- models. i would suggest a 17inch digital TFT, (by digital i mean u need to look for it having a DVI input). however it is unlikely that your graphics card will support DVI so you will have to use the standard vga connection for the time being... but at least the monitor will be future proof.

decks: don't sell them, i think it is a shame to sell expressive things like that. unless you are really skint.

desk: ikea do cheap ones. and pc world do good leather chairs.

peripherals: get a cheap logitech wireless combo in black. that will look neat and tidy on your new minimalist layout.

beer: stop drinking stella, it tastes like cats pee. drink some grolsch.

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).
    • DVD only? What kind of self-respecting optical disk backup/ripping tool doesn't support Blu-ray these days? I burned all my DVDs like 15+ years ago...

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
