At this point i've spent close to $3500.

So not that much, considering what that *crap* can cost :D

I'm gonna get a new (flat) bench soon as i don't feel the current one is solid enough for the weight i'm pushing.

It's an incline bench where the only thing keeping the back/seat up in the movable area, is the safety pin.

Somehow i don't think that 230-35 pounds hammering down on my chest feels like a tickling sensation :x

That's not bad at all! :)

Yeah its awsome I'm really pleased with it, and I like the way it works in bios etc before windows starts. Only slight annoyance is the volume and media control buttons randomly stopped working earlier but restart seemed to fix. Bought a second one to go with my htpc but having some trouble getting hold of another compatible dongle for it.

Well, here's my dorm, currently attending the University of Florida, started in the summer term. Loving it!

Missing my Manhattan poster next to John Lennon, and haven't put up my "My Goodness, My Guinness!" poster yet, 'tis why the wall next to my bed seems so empty.

Do you have a roommate?

Actually, yes! I have 3 of them, but it's an apartment-style dorm, so we each have our own rooms plus we get a kitchen, a living room, 2 bathroom, and a vanity counter. It's the most expensive dorm on campus, I just got it because I signed up for housing late, I had chosen conventional dorms as my top 3 choices, now I'm really happy I got Lakeside instead. Here are some pictures that show what it's like:

XCraft 250, which has a bit of of problem as the WD drive inside it needs too much power, resulting in the use of a second USB.

Your HDD enclosure is nice. Is it a for 3.5" or 2.5" hdd?

By the way, from the old "Show us your workstations" post, thanks for your advice. I'll be sure to look for a new table. Ikea do make nice table but quality not so much. :pinch:

No problem, I like your rig, especially your PS3 (Y) . As for the hard drive, it's 2.5 and supports USB 2.0 and eSATA. However, there is a problem with my Western Digital HD as it requires two USB ports instead of one. I need to go to SS2 to change it but I haven't got the time. This is actually my second enclosure as my first one broke down on me. It was a different Cooler Master as it had a one touch button but it took too long to replace, I had to wait for three months before they told me it was out of stock, typical of Malaysians :rolleyes: .

ubertwoten, nice setup. I have the same model notebook from HP. Where did you get that keyboard protector? How is it like typing on it? Is it uncomfortable? Thanks.

Thanks. I purchased the keyboard protector from eBay (it's actually for the dv6000t or some previous model not the dv6500t because the arrow keys doesn't align and neither do the f keys). I really like the keyboard protector because it keeps the keys nice and oil-free, and I never have to worry about anything falling into the keyboard or worse, spilling (coffee is often next to the notebook). Typing, well that is definitely preference. I honestly love it because its a lot harder to miss a key as your fingers won't slip, but some might think that it restricts fast typing because of the silicon surface. You can search on eBay and i'm sure you'll come up with something ( i got mine for ~10 dollars shipped), just be prepared for it not to fit 100%.

here's some close pics:

Looks pretty similar to the one I have from the picture given by the seller, but keep me updated whether it has a better fit! I think you'll like it - even if the F keys and arrows don't completely fit 100%, it really doesn't bother me (probably because i hardly use the F keys)

My guess is that it's for the dv5000 series as the arrow keys are slightly lower on that notebook. I should know, as I own one :p .

    • Opera for Android gets redesigned home page with FIFA World Cup tracker by Taras Buria FIFA World Cup 2026 is kicking off in the United States later this week, and Opera, a popular cross-platform browser, is making it easier to track matches on mobile. Today, Opera announced a redesigned home page for its Android browser. The new home page is now "more immersive" with easier access to common browser features. Users can now customize Speed Dial icons (round, square, or squircle), enjoy a new weather widget with real-time conditions, and open AI Mode or a private session with a single tap. Additionally, the browser now has a built-in football tracker, allowing you to follow your favorite team without using dedicated apps. The tracker displays live scores, notifications, and statistics in a dedicated football hub. You can also check out line-ups, match events, and more. Opera surveyed its users, and 38% of responders said they plan to follow the FIFA World Cup 2026 in a browser. The tournament starts on June 11 and ends on July 19, 2026. "By providing football fans with instant access to live scores alongside a more considered design, we’re ensuring they are never more than a tap away from the action, even when they can't watch live," said Tim Lesnik, Product Manager at Opera Mobile. For Opera users in the United States, Opera runs a contest, offering them a chance to win tickets to a match in Miami in July, Android smartphones, PlayStation 5 consoles, smart TVs, and Amazon Vouchers. Users can participate by posting on social media with the #OperaFandom hashtag from June 12 or by signing up on the official Opera website. Opera will announce winners on July 3. You can download Opera for Android from the Google Play Store using this link.
    • That definitely doesn’t match my experience with using Outlook. I use the new Outlook with a local account, connected to a email account, that absolutely isn’t connected to a Microsoft account without an issue.   I used Thunderbird/Firebird once, lost some very precious emails and memories, because of the way it stored emails. Swore I would never use it again, it technically wasn’t the fault of Thunderbird, but an extension but the underlying reason it failed was due to the message format.
