Clockwise from the top we have a Halo 3 poster I picked up over the weekend, a Samsung 19" SyncMaster 940MW, a Dracaena Marginata (kinda overwatered), chair, computer, generic keyboard and Mighty Mouse, 2 wireless 360 controllers, keys and crap, The God Delusion, 2 DVD-RWs, post (mail for the Americans), an Xbox 360, college prospectuses and BioShock.

Think that's all of it :p

finally got around to taking some pics of the guts !

@fusion2k : How do you rate the Logitech Z-2300's? I'm considering getting some.

I give them 9/10

if you haven't got a good sound card theres no point getting them thou otherwise i think they sound like theres to much trebble but if you have got a good one, the bass is really good and you can hear music the way its meant to be heard, in stereo!!!

for games they are very good the only downfall on them is its not 5.1 so you only really going to be gettign the noise from you line of view in games and dosent add to the realism but other then that buy them!

    • 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.
