Out of sight is my HT sub (nothing exciting) and Epson photo-printer (again... not exciting by any stretch of the imagination!)

Hopefully soon I'll either get a work bonus or some residual student loan together and get a nice HD-TFT and an Xbox 360 Premium... My lil xbox is a bit unwell (it sometimes produces a blank screen when loading games... can hear stuff but can't see it!)

Heres my basic setup, pic was taken with phone as my camera decided to die over christmas !! , oh and i love my wired cheapo keyboard/mouse :D i've got that used to them now, gonna be changing the desk soon ( had that since my speccy 128k :p ) to the left of my desk there is a chest of drawers with my ps2/tv/stereo on but theres a gap between the two ( so i can open the drawers ) so losing a load of space going to get a corner desk, and set everything up better, and get a better tv some nice lcd thing :D as for where my clothes will go heh who knows !!

The Genius speakers are somewhat dated now, and they have a russian AC, I got them for ?2 so I wan't expecting anything amazing. I have bought some YT 5007 5-1 surround sound speakers, I bought them a month or so ago, but havn't got round to installing them. I need some minuature speaker wall mounts me thinks.

The keyboard is pretty dated as well, it's a compaq SDM45, I'm looking at the logitec G15 when I finally get round to buying a desktop system. As you can see I'm using the plantronics headphones, nice, but a little irratating around the head.

Sony W800i - great phone, havn't had any problems with it thus far, had it a year and 7 days.

And the laptops an Acer Aspire 5670, C2D 1.66, 120GB HDD, Radeon X1600 512MB, running WinXP home.

Sorry about the picture quality, they were taken with an Sony CyberShot, not the greatest cam, but I got it for free.

lmao

I love it how you cut down on spending!

?2 speakers, free camera, and a keyboard that someone threw out as soon as the purchased the Compaq.

I like the mouse though!

I have a similar one in black.

updated workstation...

changed location/desk. 360 is now to the right of the desk, on a sub.

While I love that setup, I have to urge you to take your 360 off your sub! The magnet in a sub is VERY strong and could quite easily corrupt data on your 360 hard drive (if you have one).

i was looking at a sony ericsson w810i myself.

I've never had a look at the W810i, from what I see in pictures they look sweet, I used to have the Sony T610, that phone rocked!

Some guy at school needed some lunch money, and kept pestering me saying how hungry he is, he then said he'll give me some speakers if I lend him ?2, I didn't really care what quality they were for that money, he brought the genius' in the next day, so it was alright to skip lunch for that lil bargain. At the time they were good!

And the keyboard came from a landfill site, my cousin run the computer recycling area of the campus, and theres all sorts of bit n' pieces to look at, most of the stuff is really badly damaged, but I managed to restore this Compaq. I would take all the big server cases the companys throw in there but my mum doesn't let me bring stuff back into the house.

The mouse was the latest edition, as you may have guessed, hehe.

where are your speakers?

Edit: and why don't you hook your 360 up to your TV?

Speakers are wall mounted, one in each corner.

Also, 360 was connected to my Monitor because I was able to run it at 720 HD mode. Now I have the SCART lead is is actually connected to the TV, but sits on the desk to keep it cool rather than under the TV.

Might as well post (i faintly remember posting this already, but couldnt find it, so if i have already, sorry ;) ).

Monitor: 26" HDTV (marks are from camera flash, edge of TV is shiny), desk: chrome/black glass, PC: Media Center (first machine in my sig ;) )...

    • 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.
