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.

    • I really hope the author's health is ok. Squirreling away a official backup of this software. Looks like the internet archive already cached a copy as well - https://web.archive.org/web/20...ldbit-soft.fi/software.html
    • AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.
    • Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.
    • I can answer about the Linux bit. I only used AMD GPUs. I currently have a 9060XT (8GB) that fits my needs, I'm not a gamer, so I don't need that much GDDR. But lately, NVIDIA has grown a lot in the recent years. Oh, the horrors of NVIDIA drivers not working. But they have been getting better. I know a lot of members onm here that are running cachyOS and other distros, and are fine with a 4090/5090 variants. Really, though, I would stick with AMD variants.
    • Everything they say you can already do yourself on the registry by changing some things.
