Is that the XBox360 cam MS makes? Does it work well in iChat? How does it compare to the iSight quality and framerate wise? BTW, I like your desk, are you running dual Dell 24"?

yes it is... i don't know how it compares because i use it with my 360 :p

and i've got 20" dualies

I'm re-doing a lot of stuff, including our home theater in the living room. This was more of a "demo", testing out our new projector and trying to find placement for a secondary television (32" flat screen). Good idea for football games and what not.

I show it because I sometimes hook the laptop up in the living room to the multiscreens.

Anyway, on to the main computer desk. I still have some desk mods to install and do some wire management (I got some nice lights to put as accents)

You'll notice at the top of the setup, is a 30" widescreen HD TV. I have my XBox360 hooked up to it and it runs 1080i. But this television is also used as my 4th monitor. Commonly my "media" monitor, for stuff like running shows I have on the computer or movies. For the best quality it's hooked up to my graphics card through DVI and I also use it for playing some games (they look so great on that screen)

Right below you'll see the typical dual screen layout most of you commonly have. These are my two primary monitors, 19" LCDs (All I own is LCDs, it's the way to go) this is where most of my focus is usually.

To the right, is a 20.1" widescreen monitor in portrait mode. Commonly I refer it to my "feed" monitor. It's where news and news feeds are displayed so I can stay up to date on news, tech stuff, etc..

The computer is running dual ATI Graphic Cards, one PCI, one PCIe with the latter being 128mb DDR2 and the first being 64mb of Ram. I don't do a whole lot of gaming so I don't need a lot of power, that's why I have the XBox.

Computer is a dual core 3.19Ghz with 1GB of Ram, TV Tuner card, PCMCIA card reader, and Creative 5.1 HD Surround Sound controller.

This setup does have a true 5.1 surround sound system, however it's just not spaced out, that's all.

You seriously need a new desk D:

Hehe, that really must hurt your neck.....

And having those two other monitors set in like that is just silly.

It's not as deep as it looks. From my chair setting, I can see everything perfectly. No neck hurting. I don't dedicatedly watch stuff when I'm on the computer. But if I put on a movie or play XBox I roll back some so I can take in the HD glory.

Not too much has changed, just updating for the quarter...

Looking good. (Y)

What is the product called? Is it networked?

It has onboard gigabit, wouldn't be much use having a 2TB array with no network connection :p

still the same :)

Why do you keep posting the same pics? :unsure:

img0032ho7.jpg

man, this camera is great! better than my friend's Olympus..

Anyway, from left to right..

My 3 drawer cabinet on lower left is packed with computer stuff, cables, pci cards, etc.

You see my ripper, obviously.

Standard Compaq keyboard, Blue Optical MS mouse, 2 x 17" lcds on my main system, Monster, specs in sig, and Logitech x-530 speakers.

My laptop, as in sig.

My Lexmark Z615 Printer on bottom.

The other LCD monitor, keyboard and mouse, is my test system, when I get in friend's and family computers to fix.

My Dad's system on the far right, couldn't include that in the pic. He's running on a Socket A system, soon to be upgraded to a AM2 system, while i update to C2D. He's also running on a 15" and 17" CRT. The blue Raidmax case is his chasis.

I'm planning to get shelving on the far wall. I'll repost when that gets done in a week.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
    • One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.
    • I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.
