I'll give this a go :D

Although nothing impressive at the moment :(. This is my Uni room where I'm stuck for a few more months. Sorry about the picture quality, took them on the iPhone... got no batteries for my camera :D

Hope they scale OK on here. Ideally... I want to add another monitor, get a new keyboard and mouse (I'm tempted wireless for both, but I find wireless isn't that responsive for gaming) and also a new PC case to shush it a little bit.

Ah the godawful V+ HD box, i hate mine constantly locking/freezing/taking ages to change channels....

Haha! It is absolutely terrible!! Mine ALWAYS locks up at 12am daily, and is so slow when compared with Sky boxes. I long for a Sky+ HD box... but that's coming in September when I move to a new student house :D

they do. its just rebranded using a different name.

Fredrik != the Jerker

The Jerker is much more stable and larger :)

Wow, I like the way you mounted your displays, what are you using?

The mounts are from www.monoprice.com: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product....=1&format=2

$11.39(ea) when you buy 2-9. :)

Terrible cellphone camera shot of my home office. Nothing notable on the other walls, one has a futon; to the right of my desk is a stackable drawer unit with my switch/modem/stereo on top. Shelving to come soon, trying to decide on a way to make it look decent. Same with a new desk, probably going to go with something wooden instead of glass - it's impossible to keep this thing clean. Maybe tomorrow I'll get a shot of my cube at work.

cool. Did the brackets for the mount fit in the pre-existing holes on the Jerker?

Look at all that space....Heaven!

You're right. It's an eSATA/USB2 drive dock from Vantec.

I also noticed they've got a dual slot version:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817392028

Comes in handy quite often, I use the bunch of internal drives I've got (like 4 160gb drives, a couple 120's and a 200gig) like removable storage drives. Hot swappable and works with any PC with USB2 (though I use eSATA on mine, works seemlessly - as fast as an internal drive). If you've got a bunch of drives taking up space/generating heat/making noise I'd recommend it. I've got a single 1tb drive at the moment (going to buy another one in a few weeks) and I love it.

It's in my photo when I get a chance to post it.

FadeToBright:

How can you have to taskbars, in windows 7? It does not support Ultramon, does it?

I'm also running with 2 monitors - but will not install windows 7 because of the lacking support for dual-monitors - or the earlier lack of support :)

I'm using the Display Fusion beta. :)

    • Did you watch the keynote? It is way beyond what is described in this article. Looks interesting. Now it is time for them to deliver unlike what happened in 24.
    • It pretty much has to be compatible with MS Office or it is going nowhere. The rest of the world runs office including Europe. If it is not compatible it will not survive.
    • Incredible deal gets you free NVMe 512GB SSD with AMD AM5 B850 motherboard for only $150 by Sayan Sen Earlier this week we covered the story of an interesting PC case wherein you can build two full-size computers inside it as in it can house and run an AMD and an Intel system simultaneously. Speaking of building PCs, these are hard times to make one for sure as prices are often very high except during flash sales or discounts. If you are in the market for a 1080p gaming PC then Nvidia's 8GB RTX 5060 Ti is currently on sale for just $330 and you get the latest James Bond game too, for free. Speaking of which, right now there is another incredible sale going on as we can get a free 512 GB NVMe SSD from TeamGroup in the form of the G50 alongside the purchase of an AMD B850 socket AM5 motherboard for only $150 (purchase link under the specs table down below). Getting an AM5 motherboard now in 2026 will be a wise investment for sure, especially since AMD confirmed its commitment to support the socket till at least 2029. The MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI is a micro-ATX motherboard that is compatible with AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors. Since it is AM5, the motherboard works with DDR5 memory and includes MSI’s Memory Boost technology, along with EXPO and XMP support. Connectivity features include built-in Wi-Fi 7 paired with a 5G LAN solution. The board offers a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot with MSI’s EZ M.2 Shield Frozr II thermal solution, that is said to help maintain SSD performance by providing ample cooling against overheating. The technical specifications of the MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI motherboard are given in the table below: The free TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. The NAND flash is based on TLC which means it has plenty of endurance up its sleeve. The random performance may not be as amazing as other drives with DRAM though. Still it should be very good since it can access system memory via HMB to use it as its DRAM cache. The technical specifications of the TeamGroup 512GB G50 NVMe SSD are given in the table below: Get it at the link below: MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI AM5 AMD motherboard + Team Group T-FORCE G50 512GB SSD (free gift): $149.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) This Newegg deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • RapidRAW 1.5.7 by Razvan Serea RapidRAW is a beautiful, non-destructive, GPU‑accelerated RAW image editor designed for speed and simplicity. It uses a lightweight (~30 MB), efficient code base built with Rust, React and Tauri. Ideal for Lightroom workflows, it offers rich editing tools—exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites/blacks, tone curves, HSL mixer, dehaze, vignetting, film grain, sharpening, clarity and noise reduction—processed in real-time on the GPU. Features include intuitive masking (brush, linear, radial, AI-powered subject and foreground detection), generative edit layers (via ComfyUI), 32‑bit precision, and full RAW format support through rawler. RapidRAW also provides library management (folder navigation, ratings, metadata, EXIF viewer), batch operations, export presets (JPEG/PNG/TIFF), sidecar editing (.rrdata), undo/redo history, customizable UI themes, smooth animations, resizable panels, and preset copy/paste. A modern high-performance Lightroom alternative with polished UX and creative tools, RapidRAW brings powerful photo editing to photographers seeking speed, responsive GPU feedback, and streamlined workflows. RapidRAW v1.5.7 release notes: This update serves as a direct follow-up to the core architectural migration introduced in v1.5.6. While the transition to a more modular state management system marked a significant step forward for RapidRAW's stability and long-term maintainability, it also introduced several edge cases and regressions within the library and editing workflows. This release focuses on addressing those issues, with a particular emphasis on a complete overhaul of library performance to ensure smooth and responsive browsing following the refactoring. It also resolves inconsistencies in the copy-and-paste workflow and expands RapidRAW's accessibility by adding support for eight additional languages.

    • Thank god they got rid of the disgusting looking sidebars, and the corner radius looks much better, too. Two things I hated on day one, and never got used to.
