it must be awkward putting a game into that 360 with the tray facing the wall when open

also, what is that on top of the tower (with all of the knobs)

That's the external box of the Creative Audigy 2 ZS Platnium Ex.

I know because my MCE got one.

Yes the chair can be comfy, just not for too long periods without a break. Maybe just my bad back.

The Xbox is on the floor just until i get my new display, then it will move, prob onto the desk.

As I have just rearranged my room, the tidyness is only temporary, within a week it will be back to having stuff dumped on it, paper piles, and various other items. But until them I am proud.

The box on top of my is in fact a breakout box for the Audigy 2 Plantinum sound card. Its ok, but is starting to feel a bit dated, so a change maybe required. Dont use half the I/O on it anyway.

Finally got my new monitor :D

On the left is the Dell 2408WFP, right is 2007FP. Yes it looks small, but the one on the right is a 20" standard aspect with 1600x1200 res :| Both has 1200 vertical resolution though, and both are S-PVA panels which is awesome. I don't notice any input lag with the 2408 :p

My main computer is on the right, with the QX9650, Striker II NSE, etc. My secondary computer is underneath it with the Tagan A+ Black Pearl case. Another C2D comp :D

    • 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
