Slightly updated, showing 3 desktops of mine :) Main desktop (The one with window) updated with a Thermaltake DuOrb on my 8800GTS, see the blue LEDs :D The one in the corner in the P182 has just been rebuilt and still testing. The one built with the Danger Den Torture Rack (Front) is my hardware testing platform. It usually sits in my closet unless I am benchmarking something :p

All 3 are Core 2 based computers too, where the two with cases have DDR3 RAM :yes:

Cabling.......So.....Organized.....O.O

Two Quad Core Xeon 2.66GHz (Clovertown, 8 Cores)

8GB FB-DIMM 1333MHz FSB

GeForce 8800GTX SuperClocked

2TB Hard Drive space

X-Fi Elite Pro

Dell 30" HC LCD (2560x1600)

APC 1500VAC Smart UPS

What speakers are those?

?100 for a keyboard, woah:oo

Yeah, but it looks nice though, doesn't it(Y))

What speakers are those?

They're Paradigm studio speakers. Very very very high sound quality. The amp is a Yamaha RX-V495 and it's plugged in via optical. Using the x-fi and this, there is literally no "fuzz" when you turn them up all the way without sound playing like most speakers have.

Thanks :happy:

These are 3 quick shots of my space.

Don't have the time to clean from dust at the moment. Also, I need to find sometime to manage the cables behind the case.

Can't shoot the other side of the room because of the mess :p Will post some pics later.

Any comments are appreciated :)

Excuse the quality of the picture, I'll post new ones when I get a decent camera.

Clicky for biggy.

Wow, that's amazing. Makes me want to get a 24" :( (Currently have a 20" for the last 3 years, itching to get a new monitor :p )

    • 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.
