second that! mrk, your case is super tidy! mine is an absolute mess.

Ehh what the heck, I had a free afternoon and if someone says it's not tidy then something must be done :p

Maybe now he will like it :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :yes:

Tidied up the front empty bay area via cable ties and rerouting

Tidied up the PSU cable array

Rerouted the main cables and tied them to the chasis, rerouted the DVD drives UV cable too so it's not poking out the middle

Tied down the UV lights switch and tidied the cabling to it

Routing for the front 120mm and also power input for the UV routed round the other side so they cannot be seen (same as before but better management now)

Look what turned up in the mail today... :D

It was time for our kit in IT to be replaced, so instead of the boring Optiplex towers that we had (which are very good, don't get me wrong), I thought seeing as our Account Manager at Dell was being promoted and said she could give us a brilliant deal (which she did btw) I'd get us some decent machines.

Theres 3 of them :D

Side by side with the new Optiplex 745's that the users get ;)

The screen that goes with it. I couldn't justify the 30" screen so plumped for the 24". A compromise.

My friends dad owns a big company and they thought alot of stuff was broken and said we could go through it. Well we went through about 40-60 pc's and found 6 working 15in LCD's and about 12 80GB Hitachi Drives. It was pretty sweet lol

Ye true its quite alot more for 6" none the less i bet it is a great set up.

Certainly is. Vista RC2 looks lovely on it. However, the Nvidia beta drivers are rubbish for DOD:S (we play at lunchtime). If in full screen then theres tearing, so I have to lower the res and run in a window.

I've got 2 additional 19" monitors either side of the big screen. I'll take a decent shot of it all tomorrow :)

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,
