never thought I would ever have an HP branded PC but now I do and it KICKS ASS! the reviews and web photos don't do it justice. makes my Alienware and custom built PC look silly.

it's a Voodoo theme and was installed on my machine from voodoo/HP... here is the wallpaper though.

yeah its real... smith & wesson M&P40.... my dog is not much of a guard dog ;)

Nice gun! .40 packs a punch without too much recoil :) Glock model 23 is a little more concealable IMO ;)

New desk and computer.

Glass Corner desk from Best buy

Computer:

Mac Pro (2 x quad core xeon 2.8ghz, 16gb pc6400 edd-fb ram, 4x1tb seagate barracuda drives, 8800GT video card, dual acer al2223w 22" widescreen monitors)

I like it, it works for me a bit. I think i'm going to have to go back to a bigger desk with a hutch and more storage. Unless i can find some good filing cabinets to go with this desk. I'm OCD when it comes to stuff matching

I'd get some more RAM first, if i were you, that 16GB just isn't enough :)

What kinda stuff do you do on the Pro?

I do a lot of video editing (for my company) and I also have a lot of programs open at once with at least one virtual machine running at all times, and with the vm's and the video editing it eats up a lot of memory. I would almost go with a little more but i only bought 2gb sticks and all 8 slots are full.

It seems like a lot but there are a bunch of times where i only have 2gb's or less left.

Gotta upgrade the monitors to two 30" Samsung Sync's in a couple months and add another 8800gt, one to power each monitor. It stinks that Mac hasn't come out with the ability to run SLi or Crossfire.

    • I misread the title and thought Teams itself would be redesigned. Imagine having this one as a native WinUI app.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame by Sayan Sen Last month Neowin reported on a major issue on Dell systems wherein a bug in its official support tool was leading to endless blue screen of death (BSOD) and restarts. Following our report, Dell officially acknowledged its SupportAssist-related crash issue, confirming that the culprit is not Microsoft's operating system but rather a faulty version of its own remediation software. In a newly published support advisory, Dell stated that version 5.5.16.0 of Dell SupportAssist Remediation and Alienware SupportAssist Remediation can trigger blue screen errors and unexpected system restarts. The company notes that the problematic component operates independently of the main SupportAssist application, meaning users should not remove the primary SupportAssist software when troubleshooting the issue. According to Dell, the crashes are linked specifically to the SupportAssist Remediation service, which is bundled with SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools, and as such it has since released an updated version, 5.5.16.1, which is said to resolve the problem. Affected users are advised to first verify whether version 5.5.16.0 is installed by checking the Installed Apps section in Windows Settings. If so, Dell recommends updating SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools through either SupportAssist's "Update Software" feature or Dell Command Update. Dell also advises users to back up important data before performing the update and to ensure systems remain connected to power throughout the installation process. If you are still having issues though make sure to report to the Dell support forum. As it turns out though Dell is not the only PC maker currently dealing with update-related headaches as HP is also facing a separate but probably equally frustrating issue involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates that were released with recent Windows 11 Patch Tuesdays. Similar to Dell, HP also put up its own support article where it explains the issue. The company says that affected devices could hit a brick wall when booting as they run into a BitLocker recovery loop after the April 2026 updates. The problem appears to affect systems wherein the new UEFI Secure Boot CA 2023 certificates fail to apply properly. As such affected users will find themselves entering their recovery key over and over again despite the system otherwise functioning normally. HP says such PCs should be updated to the latest available BIOS version and configured with the necessary Secure Boot certificates before installing Microsoft's Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates. Systems that are already experiencing the problem may require BIOS configuration changes to restore normal boot behavior. Admins can find information regarding that in the support article here on HP's official website.
    • Getting further away from the artistic study of mental disease that was the first game... (which never needed any sequels to begin with) But I get it, a company has to make money. And the second was at least visually impressive, if not in any other way.
    • 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.
