Post your Workstations 2007

[ernicoats]

hey there I just got one of these drives, I seen in a post that you have it so they auto turn off after a lenght of time. How did you do that? Mine will spin down but the lights stay light.

Perfect...thanks a lot for the input! They really do sound like great ExHD's, even though at first when they arrived in stores, I didn't like them as much. :D

Finally got my new system all put together, and replaced my 10+ year old CRT with the 2407WFP-HC. I'm not quite as good at hiding the wiring as chc though.

Nothing overly impressive about the guts of my new system.

Very nice TBEau

I kinda feel guilty for having so many gadgets cos I just heard someone tell me about their hard childhood back in the 1970 and it makes me feel really, really greedy even though I don't have much; Laptop, tv, bed, mp3, internet, freeview but it still is a lot :/ Sorry just had to get that out of my system.

They do spin down, but they don't go totally to sleep.

In other words, you hear the drive spin down and the light stays on, the chassis cools off as there is nothing going on. If you eject the drive then is does turn off, if you power down or go to sleep, they turn off, but they wake up when the computer does.

Hope that makes sense.

That is - if our materialistic tendencies don't kill off our society first.

Yup! I had some time and a small can of Tremclad paint while waiting patiently for my mobo to arrive. Why not!

BTW Mr.GreanShamanGT

Yes, i like the ATI/AMD combo. I also like the idea of having only one driver package (Catalyst) that install everything at once. I'm not going for a world speed record anyway. It works, it's rock stable and i'm very satisfied.

[KeeperOfThePizza]

Updated it kinda.

Well,, I've never had any problems sitting in the middle of this desk. I thought moving my lcd to the right, but thats mean monitor will be too close to me. In the near future I will buy a VESA mount kit to mount my lcd to the wall.

This is the best decision, imo. ;) What do you think about it?

I believe monitor being close is not an issue since it not very large. Mounting on wall is a nice idea if you have a really large monitor and in need of desk space, but in your/our case it's not really a problem, right? ;) Also, mounting will not allow you to move the monitor where ever you want, but it depends on what you like.

I just tried to move my lcd to the right. It looks not so good, maybe it's because of my table...

As for vesa mount actually you are right :) 19" is not so big for wall mount.

p.s. Do you have a pic of your desk?
