How can you see with that tiny monitor!!! j/k Glad to know i'm not the only one using a huge display. I take it you watch movies and play a lot of games on that beast.

Certainly do, i love it, most people are surprised my eyes don't hurt, but if it's pushed back a bit, you dont really have to focus to see what your doing, you can't miss it!!!

What size screen have you got? mine is a 37" using DVI to HDMI cable.

Thanks guys for kind words about my setup. The monitors are new 19" Dells. I bought 3 of them this week and paid around $460, they on sale plus don't forget to use your 6% AAA discount. (I replaced 20" ACD monitor). The desk is Fredrick from Ikea if anybody interested.

I believe that I've stated how envious I am (and others) are of your monitor setup...but this is something I didn't notice before...

What, exactly, are the two monitor-looking things behind what I believe to be a webcam?

Go to home depot and get your self a small bag of these:

100 is too many. They should have a smaller bag. Then get a small bag of nylon cables: (what you have their on your right leg)

Peel off the tape and stick a few bases to the back of your desk. Put the wrap through the base and loop it. Then just run your wires through the loops. Work like a charm. You can then use the wire wraps to wrap the exposed wires all neat and run that down the leg or something. If if some are exposed if their all wrapped up tight together it will look a lot cleaner.

Use some double sided tape if the power strip doesn't have any holes to mount it with screws. Stick it on the metal or even to the bottom of the desktop.

@Cephas: Is that the Samsung 204B on the left? Have you considered running it in portrait mode? It would be a perfect match to the 30" with a vertical resolution of 1600 pixels at .255 dot pitch.

Kind of what I had in mind, only that I didn't buy the 3007 because 3008 was about to be released at the time, then the price put me off. Got a 42" 1080P instead. Will update my work and entertainment stations when everything gets here later this week. :)

four screens? damn, what do yo udo w/ all of that space?
Too many screens, don't you think? :p

Where's your server?

I have them mostly for convenience. When programming, I can view multiple source files at the same time plus a reference or two, and I usually have a TV show playing (I don't actually have a TV). I also keep stuff like Winamp, MSN, download programs, etc. on the right screen so they don't distract me. Playing windowed RTS games while browsing the web or watching TV works too. Oh and my server is in the corner on the other side of the room.

It's a 225BW (and Acer X223W on the right). The dot pitch is quite a bit higher but it doesn't really bother me. It doesn't swivel, but back when I had a 2405FPW, the lag from the graphics card's rotation (tried it with ATI and nVidia) made it impractical for most things other than reading.

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
