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?

    • When you're in enterprise IT environment, you're kinda forced into it...otherwise I'm not touching any mail client for personal use.  I can't stand New Outlook. It's complete trash - half the features I need in (Classic) Outlook are just missing in New Outlook. I haven't talked to a single person who actually likes the new client. 
    • I think it's cute that Apple is implementing their tools at precisely the same evolutionary level as other devices' tools. In other words, I see no innovation; it's "the same but different."

    • Walmart was still selling the Apple Watch SE 2 on Black Friday in 2024. I got 1 for my mom and one for my dad for christmas.
    • But apple has ASSURED us that this is private. So, it's private. I expect the same "leeway" shown Microsoft to be reflected here.
    • ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE is currently $159.99 on Amazon, down from $219.99. That's 27% off and $60 saved on a keyboard that combines retro and modern design, while being one of the most responsive and adaptable 75% boards available right now (purchase link down below). The ROG Falchion Ace comes with the HFX V2X magnetic switches that allow you to set actuation anywhere between 0.1mm and 3.5mm with 0.01mm fine-tuning steps. It also comes with Rapid Trigger, a feature that resets the key the moment you release it rather than waiting for a fixed reset point, which makes a noticeable difference in fast-paced games. And finally, an 8,000Hz polling rate should make the response time feel instant. The build quality is decent, with dense plastic and powder-coated aluminum, which is expected from a keyboard at this price point. There’s also the onboard adjustment wheel, which lets you tweak actuation and Rapid Trigger sensitivity without opening any software. For competitive gaming, the ROG Falchion Ace is hard to beat at this price. And those who appreciate old-school hardware, especially those white keyboards we’ve all grown up with, will likely also appreciate the looks of this keyboard. A carry case is included.
