Here is my new setup:

Removed the second monitor

Removed the platform

Added a new mouse

Moved the tower onto a side table (better air flow)

Better wire management

Upgraded to Windows 7 7000

I have that same keyboard at my mom's house hooked up to the desktop.

Camera sucks balls. Even though its 7.2 px it takes grainy photos mid day!

Use to have the same speakers as you.

Hey, where did you get that mouse? I could use something like that.

So since I tend to spend more time on the 360 with friends from work I decided I didn't need a gaming PC any longer, so I shrunk things a bit...

I love your new Dell. It looks like an external DVD drive :)

Thanks, suprisingly snappy and more than enough for my primary uses (web, IM, music, HULU, remote sytem admin, etc...). So quiet and saves tons of room, only problem now, my wife wants one. So I finally silenced my Windows Home Server and if I get rid of her tower this room will actually start to look and sound like a home office instead of a home server room.

I finally cleaned :D

Monitor: LG FATRON W1934S 19"

Mouse: Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 v.2

Computer: HP Media Center Pavilion a6518f

Speakers: Altec Lansing Dolby High Definion Surround Sound

The white thing in the corner is the Microsoft Wireless XBox Connector. It works well for certain programs (Freecell, Flight Simulator) but doesnt work on Google Earth :(

I have been looking for a corner desk like that titoist. Where did you buy it and how much did it cost?

Well I went to Home Depot, bought 4 sheets of plywood and other pieces of wood. I made it in the summer like 6 years ago. Spent $40 in total if I remember correctly including paint and such. It's actually bad quality as it leans to one side as you can see in the pic. It's not the camera :p.

The closest I have come to finding that type of desk is the ikea galant and it starts at $210, so I think I could justify the leaning for only $40. Did you use wood for the legs or do you have the plywood sitting on top of something else?

    • If only Windows would have a toggle switch named "Get the latest updates as soon as possible" inside Windows Update settings... But nah, let's hide the new stuff inside a controlled feature rollout, even if the user is explicitly asking for the new stuff as soon as possible.
    • After watching the Apple event earlier this week it is quite the contrast. Apple is going back and tweaking the code to make things more efficient in many areas of MacOS. Windows is boosting your electric build to hide their issues.
    • It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.
    • Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.
    • I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
