Here's mine. It's kinda got cables everywhere because I recently had to move rooms, but I figured I might as well post my new desktop. The pictures are horrible because it's just an old 1.3 MP camera that I use to take pictures when I need a small file size :laugh:

Well anyways, here it is:

Is that an alu front or is the whole thing alu too?

Looks sleek!

If you were talking to me :rolleyes: then yes... it is all alum on the front... even the cover over the front USB/Firewire/Audio is alum... it's a nice case.. was dirt cheap too.. very quiet...

Almost got that exact case... instead I bought the Centurion... very nice, good price and quiet.. and no tool's required..

Thanks :D I'm using the 350D still yep with the 17-55 lens but you can get just as good results from your 18-55 too :)

For those kind of shots you really do need a dedicated flash gun (I'm using the 430EX speedlite) to bounce the light off the ceiling or wall to get the all round lightness feel. wide apertures also help in keeping depth of field nice and smooth. I recommend using M mode and experiment with various shutter speed whilst keeping the F number at a constant value, for your lens leave it on f5.6 all the time and just adjust shutter from say 1/30sec to 1/80 sec indoors and see what you come out with - adjust ISO as well as you'll soon notice how shutter speed relates to ISO and then with aperture values in any given scene :)

Thanks alot.. :)

Cooler Master Centurion 5 Case ;) I have the same one :)

Yeah, I love this case, especially since it comes with good airflow right out of the box (80MM front fan, 120MM Back fan). You can't beat the price (like $40 + Shipping) for someone who wants a good looking case and doesn't want to spend a lot of cash (Y).

^ You should lift your LCD monitor to eye level for perpendicular viewing on the horizontal plane for vertical alignment. You'll get a much better image perception... otherwise, I'll take your height adjustable stand, I could always use an extra one :p

Here is another update. This room was clean until my friend stayed the night again, but I did add more posters and organize my things enough to take pictures of the rest of my room. About the sword... The sword I bought is a replica of Tensa Zangetsu. I didn't really realize that it was a bit too big until I pulled it out of the box (62" long). The TV here is a 42" TV from the late 90's, lol. And all that random birdhouse crap and snowman stuff is things I have yet to remove from the room. This place used to be a giant storage room that my parents put random stuff in, so every cabinet and drawer you see is filled with stuff that isn't mine.

The printer there is also an 18"x** printer that has a roll feed on the back.

Yes, thats NG, may parents used to get them all the time and I do read few them at random. Personally though, I prefer Popular Science and Popular Mechanics with a bit of documentaries on TV.

@ tonyh21 - Nice setup, its really difficult to get glass tables to hide wires, and you did a fantastic job :)

Your screen looks very yellow! I think you might need to make some adjustments.

I've got everything done now... well I still haven't got any order to the wires behind the desk ... I've been looking at some NICE workstations and have decided to go ahead and post mine.. tell me what you all think!!!

Everyone's seen my main setup so I thought I'd post something different this time around. Here's my 'homework' setup. Usually do uni assignments here since I find it easier to code/ssh to uni/etc. with two monitors.

Vista Ultimate ® Box on the far right (main system). UPS Underneath

Ubuntu Linux.

My everyday tool laptop on the desk (Tecra A2, lightweight but...).

5 fixed at ceiling and sub on the left side

and some cables heading to the kitchen, on the 24/7 box.

Soon the desk will meet my LCD dream and the xbox which is now in it's package.

Perfect spot of my room for studying and other activities!!! :p:P

    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.
    • "...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...". Three names that all refer to Windows Update. Does the author even understand what he is writing about?
    • and somehow windows is the only one with issue every patch tuesday is a mess, android macosx have all that and it never had issues locking people out of their own data.
    • It's the ol': I told my kids I was older than Google and they thought I was joking. For me I was born the same year as the internet
