+1 for KoL's setup.

Sorry for the cellphone quality, it's all I have. It sucks because it doesn't bring out my workstation much.

Got new speakers, the Z4's are BADASS. Comments appreciated. ;)

Are these speakers really so good? I mean for this price. They looks awesome, but how about sound?

my workstation for the end of the year!

I used to run on a 15" HP Monitor but I finally got a 26" LCD TV less than a month ago! I love it, VIZIO is pretty top notch got it for $487, awesome price and it's great, I use it as TV, Monitor, and for my 360!

Got a new ext. HDD, Freecom 500GB Classic. Will be getting another Samsung SM226CW to replace the crappy second monitor, And then a Lenovo/IBM Thinkpad R61. I love jobs that pay. <3

Wow, kinda late but thanks again for all the great comments. :D

I'm gonna save up next for a white office chair or something, I've seen a few nice ones at Target. ;)

Oh man... let me tell you. Clicking that checkout button was the hardest thing ever, I just couldn't see myself paying $80 for some computer speakers, I couldn't justify doing it, so I just closed the window and waited till the next day. On the 5th attempt, I finnaly sucked it up and went with it.

I'm upgrading from my old Altec Lansing 2.1 speakers, I've forgotten the model number to them and they're so old that I can't find a single picture of it on the web. But they were the best $30 speakers I have ever purchased. The bass level was very satisfactory and it stood strong for years.

I honestly didn't expect too much from these speakers. But damn... once everything was set up, I turned the bass all the way up and set the volume to %50. The room was dead quiet, once I clicked that Play button in WMP, I knew instantly that I made and AWESOME purchase. My jaw literally dropped, the bass, the clarity, it was incredible. :blink:

I definetly recommend them to anyone who doesn't want to go 5.1. I know these speakers are pretty incredible, but Logitech also has the Z-2300 2.1 speakers, which is a huge step up. Lord jeebus I can't imagine how good those sound.

Ruiz, I think you had the AVS-300's previously?

If so, I had them as wel(Y)Y)

Radish?

Yup! Those were the ones. Awesome little speakers! I passed them onto my sister, she's upgrading from crappy monitor stereo so she's really siked about them. Merry Christmas sis.

:pk :p

The Logitech Wave keyboard (upgraded from Logitech Internet Navigator 4 years old kb :p ) and Logitech ChillStream controller (xbox360) which I got for my birthday. :p

you by far have the best looking setup IMO! I finally found that desk you have at best buy. I'm sure it's not the SAME one, but it looks just like it. I've wanted a full glass desk for the longest but the keyboard tray has always been on the wrong side. I also just ordered a second Acer 22" widescreen that, now that's to you, will both be mounted on the wall!

good job!!!

    • 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.
