I've never had the courage to post here as my desk isn't up to the likes of others, but I think it can now hold its ground without being embarrassed by the more advance desks posted here :p !

My workstation, on the left is my Sony Ericsson HBH-DS980 Bluetooth headphones and my Sony Ericsson Walkman W850i. My most recent purchase is the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller:

With the lid down. You can see my Altec Lansing speakers, which are (really, really) old, but hey, they work fine for me :p ! Also shown is my CD/DVD carrying case and Cooler Master pouch for the harddrive:

Left side of my workstation, shown at the bottom is my father's very, very old Packard Bell (Celeron 466MHz, 128MB of RAM :p ). Also shown is his 19" Acer Widescreen monitor, which is connected to his Mac Mini:

Right side of my workstation. The chair is actually a garden chair but it serves my purpose really well :laugh: !

Oh, and before someone says it's too neat, I'm a very, very, VERY neat person. Comes with having a nurse for a mother :p !

where do you get that screensaver from?

PolarClock

You can change the font size, placement, colour and a lot more.

I like the polar clock but ...from this guy website:

" Warning

Some people have reported that the rings of the clock burn into their screens. I have not seen this as an issue, but I suspect that is because my monitor is set to sleep 15 minutes after the screen saver starts, so there isn’t sufficient time to do any damage. So I’d suggest that you do the same on your set up."

:blink:

scary s***

I swear I am not a computer geek :whistle:

Showing 5 of 8 computers. Theres a couple in the basement that I am too lazy to get/take pics of, and then the other laptop, wherever it is too lazy to find :p

Where did you get that clear case? Thats so sick....

Not exactly right. I thought the same until my Samsung LCD TV (LE-27S71B) started to show "burn-ins" 6 months after I bought it. Difference is: It's called image sticking instead of burn-in. This effect results from polarization of the crystal (after a static image remained too long on the display), not allowing it to return to its relaxed state. Don't get me wrong. This effect definitely isn't common in modern LCDs but it can happen.

o didnt know that!

Anything else I could improve?

I know other people have better cases than me with more "bling bling" but I'm quite happy how this turned out. Cable management on this case is okay I guess, they now ship with 3 holes precut. I think the previous versions didn't.

Also have some other stuff as listed in my sig not in the pics.

Nice setup, same as mine :)

I have the green cathode ray awaiting to be placed inside, but I don't really like the mix with the blue and green :?

I don't really buy into the whole thing about getting cases with windows and colored LEDs and whatever else....I just have a stock Dell PowerEdge 400SC case with a few mods and a lot of upgrades.

My main setup:

2251970890_a1828dc945.jpg

2.8GHz HT P4 with 2GB RAM and various other upgrades. This thing is coming up on five years old and has served me quite well. I won't be replacing it unless I start doing heavy gaming or graphics work that requires a more powerful processor...or I'm forced to upgrade to Vista.

Also in the pic is my work laptop, which is a Dell Latitude D620 with something like a 1.6GHz Core Duo and 1GB RAM. It's not a bad machine, but the stock image that my company loads on it really kills performance due to a lot of background processes.

My secondary laptop:

2251175197_eeb7083d1e.jpg

...a heavily modded 466MHz clamshell iBook G3. I use it mostly for chatting - even browsing is slow on that thing, and flash-based stuff like YouTube doesn't work at all. It lives on my coffee table almost exclusively.

And the rest of my work area:

2251177547_368de8a882.jpg

I have a friend who salvages hardware from his office a lot, and he had an extra LaserJet 2100tn that he wasn't using, so I finally have a printer with JetDirect. The cart is full of components from clamshell and 12" iBook G3s that I'm in the process of assembling for sale on eBay.

Yay.

    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off the official live stream of the WWDC 2026 annual developer event. The company began its latest wave of announcements with changes to the controversial Liquid Glass design language, which debuted last year across Apple's entire software ecosystem. A lot of people didn't like Liquid Glass when it first arrived on iPhone and other devices last year. The devices were plagued with transparency issues and whatnot. While Apple improved things over the year, it has now added a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you switch the transparency from clear to opaque. The sidebars now expand to the edge of the window. When you scroll the UI sideways, the refraction continues beneath the sidebar rather than being cut off at the boundary. Moreover, Apple has changed the way Liquid Glass is rendered across the system. There is a separation between different layers, which makes buttons in the toolbar stand out from the background. Apple said it "deeply appreciates" the feedback it received from users and has made adjustments to Liquid Glass.
    • FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
