i'm sick of seeing the nice setups. lets see the trashy ones. you all can't live all nice like that all the time. mine gets really dirty really fast, but i pretty much live at the desk. and i'm always building new computers out of old parts. i have about 5 built computers that i work on, then about 4 worth of parts. think i figured it out though, making a stealth computer into an old altec lansing sub casing.. using the mini-itx (via-epia-m) 1ghz board/proc to put into it. will have it for things that use windows only (logitech, sansa media converter, updating firmware and modding the cars head unit, etc) hooked up to a 15" in the other room... basically a computer that doesn't look like a computer ;) which in turn will clean up my setup, but still. THERE HAS TO BE MORE MESSY DESKS! you can't be clean all the time. not at a computer station

[bOO] - i LOVE it.

Sweet setup! I've got an Mbox 2 too (no pun intended). I'm getting an M-Audio keystation49 and the Studio Pro 3 monitors soon.

Where can I get that wallpaper.. I've seen it before but can't find it.

Regards,

I have it in my dA page (see signature)

Sadly, i haven't had much time to use my Mbox 2, but hopefully during the summer i will get some stuff recorded :)

see what a long weekend and too many computer parts turns into? jeez.

what a mess my desk is now

eh, if you want to rid yourself of a computer and monitor, I'm always lookin' for donations *L*
i have the same keyboard for my mac, and sometime use it on bootcamp with vista... do you know how to get all the buttons to work???

Not all buttons will work with Vista. I can get them all to work except for the up/down buttons, iTunes button, and the button under that one...

Not especially the cleanest setup in the world but:

Click me.

The picture of the guy is my dearly departed grampa.

This also shows my Jones soda candy addiction, there are all six varieties of the candy there. :)

You have the mouse pad and printer as I am. ;)

Well each to their own I suppose, I understand why you may think people who have 5.1 sorrounds speakers on their desk don't go out [well not really] but some people prefer sorround sound and while it would be better to spread the speakers out - some people don't have the space to do so so try to do the best with the space they have and despite this still get an immersive experience in gaming and the like. Next time, it'd be better if you just asked "Isn't it counter intuitive/useless if you bunch all of the 5.1 speakers on a desk together - aren't they supposed to be spread out?" etc to get a better response from other members.

I don't want to sound like a jerk but way do some of you go out, get nice 5.1 surround sound speakers, and then bunch all the speakers together. It just seems like a waste.

I was given them for free by Logitech because I shop so much with them, also, I don't have any where to hang the satellites otherwise, I'd hook them up the correct way?.. They're already hooked up to give me 5.1 surround sound.

Ah, that desk brings back memories. :) That's what I had way back when I finally got my own apartment (with roommates, of course). It never came close to being that clean, though.

My memory is fuzzy but I think I had another shelf above the desktop. Did you take that off?

I was just thinking about that after I saw that pic, too. I've been using the same quad-speaker setup for years and have never placed any of the speakers behind me. I think the next time I upgrade speakers I'm going to go for a pair of smaller nearfield recording studio monitors.

    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri by David Uzondu Image via Apple Today, at the opening keynote of Apple's annual World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC), the company announced Siri AI, a "reimagined version" of its voice assistant that runs on Apple Intelligence. Siri AI helps you do things like draft messages, edit photos, and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations. You can access Siri AI through several methods, depending on the device. While "Hey Siri" remains active, iPhone users can also press the side button, swipe down from the Dynamic Island, or use a system-wide context menu on Mac to analyze on-screen text. Image via Apple If you ever need to go back and check previous interactions, you can open the dedicated Siri app to view your entire conversation history. This application privately syncs your data using iCloud, leveraging local Foundational Models alongside Apple's secure Private Cloud Compute servers to keep user data inaccessible to outsiders. On the iPhone, Apple built the assistant into the Camera app, bringing Visual Intelligence to help you split bills or count calories. This feature also expands to the iPad and Mac, letting users use screenshots or shortcuts to analyze images, while Apple Vision Pro users can ask questions about objects in their physical room. Other things to know about Siri AI include systemwide dictation that automatically handles punctuation and formatting, customizable voice speeds, and a spatial 3D interface built for Apple Vision Pro. Apple also added Smart Stack suggestions on the Apple Watch to help you continue recent conversations directly from your wrist. The road to Siri AI was quite bumpy for Apple, which initially promised these capabilities at WWDC 2024 when the Cupertino tech giant debuted Apple Intelligence. Apple later turned to Google, signing a $1 billion annual deal to use Gemini models instead of relying solely on its own in-house systems. However, this deal came only after consumers sued Apple because features Apple promised "did not exist at the time, do not exist now, and will not exist for two or more years." Siri AI is available for developer testing on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and visionOS 27.
    • Real shame the 16 GB versions are crazy more expensive than this.
    • Making me care less about LibreOffice with every tantrum they throw.
    • And within the EU all this Siri AI stuff will probably work around 2030 and the IPhone 25 🤣
