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 :)

    • SpaceX has secured a significant cloud-services deal with Google, agreeing to a monthly payment of $920 million for computing power.  This agreement, covers approximately 110,000 NVIDIA GPUs and other components.... https://cio.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/investments/google-to-buy-computing-from-spacex-at-920-million-per-month/131543026    
    • no thanks is overpriced and its not the fastest ram neither.
    • It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a new Xbox console reveal from Microsoft celebrating the gaming brand turning 25 years old. This is to be a new limited edition Xbox Series X and controller collection that draws on the design of the rare green version of the original Xbox console. The "XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition" is coming out later this year with its matching controller. "Inspired by the look and feel of the original XBOX console, both the console and controller feature a translucent OG Green design, with subtle tributes to the journey we’ve been on together," said Microsoft in the announcement. The Xbox Series X|S line has received several new variants over the years, but this will be the first edition with a translucent design. The Xbox Series X25 will have one terabyte of internal storage and a green light on the X to signify the console lines' history. There is a 25th anniversary logo printed on the front plate. Microsoft is also teasing that the community will be able to find "a few hidden surprises throughout" the machine as well. As for the new X25 Special Edition Xbox controller, this is also coming with the classic translucent green design for its front and back plates. "From the original ABXY colors, to the timeless green, every detail calls back to the beginning, including the bumpers honoring the original black and white buttons on the original “Duke” controller," says the company about this release. "The back case and battery door are fully transparent, revealing the classic XBOX logo." The XBOX 25th anniversary collection, containing both the translucent console and controller, will be available for purchase in November 2026 as a limited-edition release. Microsoft will be offering the new XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition separately as well. Pricing details and pre-order information will be coming later.
