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:

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***

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.

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).
    • DVD only? What kind of self-respecting optical disk backup/ripping tool doesn't support Blu-ray these days? I burned all my DVDs like 15+ years ago...

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
