Delish..... I love to see pure Mac homes :)

I am flirting with the idea of dropping a bit of coin on a new Mac Pro with dual 30's. It is one of those things that I have wanted ever since the PowerMac G5 came out years ago. Bump it up to 4GB of RAM (enough to run a couple of VMs) and I would have no excuses to ditch the last of my Windows PCs.

Currently running a standard 15" MBP that I bumped to 2GB. I just picked up an 802.11n Airport and daisy-chained my 4 500 GB drives off it. Yummo, 2TB of storage and no computer required :)

Very organized. (Y)

Oh, you just gave me really bad ideas with that setup...my husband is going to kill me. I need to get a set of those shelves for my office to clean up the 'graveyard' corner in my office. :p

Happy to hear that :)

I am unfortunately very OCD when it comes to my house. Part of it comes from living alone, there is no excuse for a mess. As far as my office setup, it is 1000% times worse.

Nothing new... just a lot of mess:

Route One magazine

Sony Ericsson software dvd

Lynx bodyspray

VO5 hair clay

Tissue

Wallet

Sony Ericsson K800i

Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 box

Glass

Savlon

Scissors

Pencils

Ruler

Remote Control

Glue stick

College work

Keyboard and mouse

Think thats all of it ;)

Those speakers are lovely, what are they if I may ask :) I fancy changing my Sony Bookshelves I use on my setup to aid my towers for something more modern looking.

I know what you mean, i have some towers back home which aren't that nice looking..

But anywho there Mordaunt Short 902i's. From Richer Sounds.

Is that a Samsung 204BW I spy? same TFT as me, do you suffer alot from glare even on low light settings, mine really bugs my eyes after only a hour or so and I am so tempted to get rid.

It is indeed! Can't say mine does suffer from glare maybe a little but i think thats because its dvi connection, its pretty much perfect actually. I have my settings on 100% bright, 75% contrast - seems perfect :)

Is that a 226BW on your wall because mine and as far as I know everyone else's 226BWs have terrible viewing angles especially from the bottom - isn't that a problem for you since you got it wall mounted pretty high and say you're going to move it up even more?

I have the 226CW, the viewing angles arent bad, but better than the BW. I'm not going to be on the floor forever. My desk is currently being used as a work bench.

I use DVI also on a 8800GTS, I have recently noticed *well tonight*, that it was on 59hz and was not using proper scaling, I switched it to 60hz and to Nvidia Scaling and it's been easier on my eyes, much less strain.

I still feel my friends Apple display is far easier on the eyes to use.

Do you find yourself moving from Text to Game alot btw?

    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
