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.

    • "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.
    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time by Sayan Sen Memory prices have been through the roof for a while, though it seems like things might finally be getting better. If you are in the market for one, then grab this Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000 CL36 kit with RGB for a low price of just $340 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The kit is compatible with both AMD and Intel systems as it supports both EXPO and XMP overclocking profiles, respectively. 6000 MT/s is often the sweet spot for many systems as it provides ample data transfer speed while still being on Gear 1 mode.

The technical specifications of the Corsair Vengeance memory kit are given in the table below: Specification Value Memory Type DDR5 Memory Size (Total) 32GB Kit Configuration 2 × 16GB Form Factor UDIMM (Desktop) Pin Count 288-pin Speed (Data Rate) 6000 MT/s Speed Rating PC5-48000 Tested CAS Latency 38-44-44-96 Voltage (Tested) 1.35V Performance Profile AMD EXPO & Intel XMP Heat Spreader Aluminum heatspreader Cooling Type Passive (Heatsink) Lighting Ten Zone RGB Software Support Corsair iCUE Get it at the link below: CORSAIR Vengeance RGB DDR5 32GB (2 x 16GB) 6000 CL38 – Gray (CMH32GX5M1E6000Z38): $339.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US, Fulfilled by Amazon US) This Woot deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
    • It's a local account with the ability to reset a password at a very base level. I really don't get the issue that gets whipped up around it But you do you
