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...

"cool factor" It's kinda cool having big speakers right in front of your face

I don't like this setup as much as I thought I would, I am probably gonna move everything a little and sit those big speakers up on a shelf I have. Gimmie a week...

As long as it has clean sharp lines and it's darkgray/silver/black, it's OK for me :D

My new house office loft area:

wow :woot: your setup looks awesome. i love it because (no offense) it doesn't look all "year 2020 modern". Even though that looks is nice in a picture...your setup looks comfy and high tech at the same time. 5 stars for you (Y) !!

I want new things....... :( This thread has just inspired me to buy my self the LogitechZ-5500. It's about time I get rid of my decade old 'stereo'. I can have a real good clear out with that gone. And having a projector and 90" screen and no proper 5.1 is sacrilege. Pictures by the end of the month :)

Do you get much work done there Boz. I don't think I would, very nice.

ew onkyo :no:

onkyo speakers is just junk in box form :whistle:

this is just all my envy talking for your 42", $1500 or so worth of dell monitors, stuff like that :(

Dude that's just for the office area it's not a high powered home theater like I have in the living room.

Here's the living room one, where I actually game and watch movies:

Boz what do you do for a living? If you dont mind me asking.

I deal here and there :) LOL

I'm joking. I do web interactive stuff for movie studios, real estate corporations, design, 3d and stuff like that. And also hoping to start a chain of high quality european type cake shop for local deliveries :)

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      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?
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      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.
