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 :)

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
    • I Can't Wrap My Head Around This Number - Google to buy computing from SpaceX at $920 million per month

      By Nick H. · Posted

      What I can't seem to understand is that Google are paying SpaceX? Surely it would be the other way round, with SpaceX needing Google's datacenters etc.? Oh well, this level of money and power is way outside of my comprehension at the best of times.
    • Helium Browser 0.13.1.1

      By cork1958 · Posted

      "77ee94b helium/windows: winsparkle updater (built-in auto-update support on Windows" If that's what I think it is, that is about the only thing that's been missing from this excellent browser. I guess I'll find out the next time I'm on a Windows machine.
