Whats up with monitor on the wicker basket? is it a old one? Or some sort of special type monitor? looks kinda weird, and ab it bulky.

Yes it does look a little outsized like that.

When the monitor is flat on the desktop it is too hard for me to read the things on the bottom of the screen. my eyes are poor so elevating it makes things easier for me. I use the wicker basket because it works.

PS I built the desk and the companion piece which my stereo receiver sits on. The glass for the desk I got for free. It is 52"x28"x7/16"

radiused,beveled tempered glass.

I look after our datacenter and servers at work. I use the bottom two monitors to get my work done. Then use the top and side monitors for the datacenter and server monitoring data.

ah, cool, cool...

My greatly smiplified home office, the Studio Hybrid got dumped due to my exceedingly fickle nature...

I don't game on the PC anymore so it's more about media management and streaming to the 360 and PS3 and the ability to work from home now and then. This gear handles it all quite well.

Please tell me you are running some RAID redundancy, I don't know what's up with people these days. They are setting up multi-terabyte RAID-0 setups with no back up because that RAID array is the back up, I mean, wtf?

Are you talking to someone else? I do backup to external drives on a schedule, and across PCs every night, but I hardly need that kind of redundancy.

Not sure if this was aimed at me, or who you where talking too, but my setup is raid 5 w/ any important data backed up nightly to my server in an Atlanta datacenter and then data is also copied to one of 3x external hard drives. (1TB each)

    • Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion to bring snowy region, new updates also coming

      By froggyliver · Posted

      2 was a fun game but felt a bit shallow, like not enough there. I hope this expansion fixes that.
    • Should Microsoft be forced to stop promoting Edge over other browsers?

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      I haven't paid for windows since windows 8. So I guess I would be happy to pay for a new version if it meant seeing fewer adverts (none) or product pushes. But that applies to _any_ service or OS.

    • Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers by Taras Buria Sony is currently offering a big discount on its SS-CS5M2 bookshelf speaker, saving you 35% on a set of high-quality audio equipment. The SS-CS5M2 is a passive 3-way bookshelf speaker with a 5.12-inch woofer, a 25 mm soft-dome tweeter, and a 19 mm super tweeter. This design allows different drivers to handle different parts of the sound spectrum for a clearer, more detailed audio when watching movies or listening to music. The compact cabinet size allows you to place these speakers on shelves, desks, or stands, making them a practical choice for apartments, bedrooms, and small living rooms. Despite its compact size, the SS-CS5M2 delivers up to 100 W of power. Note that since the speakers are passive, you will need an amplifier to drive them. However, if you do, you can use them for high-resolution music, thanks to a claimed frequency response of 53 Hz - 50 kHz. It is able to extend so far high in the spectrum as a result of those super tweeters. While they will work with most amplifiers and AV receivers, Sony says this pair is a perfect match for its AV receivers, such as STRDH190, 590, 790, or 1000.

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By AltecXP · Posted

      So they somehow expect Apple to easily make it so that if I install say DeepSeek that DS can then handle all the tasks that Siri would be doing while integrated in the OS? That sounds like just rediculous.
