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 :)

    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
