i must not have been clear......sorry......im wanting to basicly make a media center.....my graphics card does support dvi but im thinking big

ive seen an acer monitor thats a 19inch wide screen for 175, how naff is it going to be?

im thinking about maybe a 32inch or maybe 42 depending on price tft to use as tv and do away with my 22inch monitor and tv in my room.

as for the turntables...i want to "cash in" before its too late. i could get them anytime but ive come to the realisation that there like a 40 yearold buying starwars figures due to missing out as a young 'en. i dont need them and there an impractical waste of money

Someone can explain me what is that thing on the right with blue display? i've seen it on many desks here, but i haven't understood what is yet :D

it is the control pod for the logitech Z5500 5.1 speakers.

whats that desk like youve got? ive seen it in the catalogue but is it up to much, ie is it as good as it looks in the pics, or does it feel like its going to fall appart?

mite be the desk for me, if anyone else knows where i can get a nice glass topped desk from whack up a post

Here's mine. Normally I have my dual moniters on my desk, but lately I've been moving my main one to the floor sometimes and using the 2nd one just for foobar. That's 2 keyboards hooked up to it, redudnant I know. Blue LAN cable going out my window, down a story, into my dining room window, across two rooms and into a router. That's ghetto right there :D

You can see various other things, my Nintendo DS with Mario 64 and FFIV in it, my new Edgar Poe book, my hookah and waterbong, iriver etc. I'm quite comfortable in this room. I know it's unorganized, but it is clean. There's a difference. ;) I like my room how it is, many of the ones I see in this thread are far too sterile fo rmy liking. I enjoy having my walls crudely painted in black, then covered in various spray paintings. Stuff like that. :D

Why do you have such large speakers on your desktop? Hard of hearing? Can't imagine why you would want speakers so close to your ears...

id presume so he can have them on at a lower volume, yet be able to hear the music as well without pi**ing off the rest of his house?

he should have just gone for headphones tho

^everyone on here seems to have the ikea jerker desk

Yeah i got like the whole Jerker collection in my bedroom ^^

My working desk is top nutch tough. Got it from my sister-in-law's father.

Liking the silver matching my Antec P180

I really like that hotel style room ... congratz man. God wish my room was like that.

I lack the skills to design it and build it myself. Come to think of it ... I lack alot of skills :D

i think i have seen that acer monitor too. if i remember rightly its not true widescreen, its ratio is 16:10 and it should be 16:9. So it has a rather random resolution.

in general samsung is a great make for lcds though. try viewsonic and dell as well.

as for the tv, i think panasonic, lg and samsung are the main makes i have seen on here. also phillips are realy well priced in the uk.

i would probably getter a better gfx card anyways... it would pay off with super slick graphics

I think all WS monitors are 16:10. 16:9 is just for TVs.

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
