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.

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 updated SSD capacity, no updated specs (not surprised tbf), just nostalgia baiting! Bring back the boot sequence and the UI as an easter egg!
    • Why? It will just cost so much more and make you PC poor and they become PC rich off your calamities! “Just because you can” isn’t a flex either!.
    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon by Sayan Sen In the modern digital workspace meeting recordings and summaries are very commonplace, still finding the right recap later can be surprisingly difficult. To address that inconvenience Microsoft is working on a new dedicated meeting recap application designed to bring all meeting recaps into a single, centralized location. In a recent announcement on its Microsoft 365 roadmap website, the company has confirmed the new applet and has explained how the new experience will work and why it believes it can help users stay on top of discussions without having to search through multiple chats, calendars, or files. For those unfamiliar, meeting recaps provide a summary of key discussions, decisions, action items, and other relevant information generated after a meeting ends. They are intended to help participants revisit important points while also allowing those who missed the meeting to quickly catch up on what happened. Traditionally locating older recaps could require users to navigate through various conversations or meeting histories. The new meeting recap app aims to simplify that process by gathering all available recaps into one dedicated hub. According to Microsoft, this should make it easier to browse past meetings, review outcomes, and stay informed about ongoing projects and discussions. One notable feature of the applet is the addition of quick filters which are meant to allow users to instantly narrow down the list of available recaps and surface specific meetings without manually searching through extensive records. Audio recap is also there. If you're wondering how long these recaps will last before self-expiring, the app will provide access to meeting recaps from the past 30 days or approximately one month. You can view the feature entry here on the official Microsoft 365 (M365) website under roadmap ID 564614. Its rollout is set to begin this month (June 2026). Do keep in mind though that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
    • Does it have couch co-op is the question I have here.
