ultimate99 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Just set up the second monitor for watching tv.From left to right: LG 22", Cornea 15", Logitech Z-2300 speakers (with subwoofer under printer), Dell AIO 924 (it sucks), Lenovo IdeaPad Y530 running Ubuntu 9.04. Desktop (under desk) runs Windows 7 RC. http://localhostr.com/files/8a1cc1/Workstation.jpg Nice! How's the IdeaPad treating you? Are these durable and of high quality as the Thinkpads?

Mr. Chronopoulos Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Nice! How's the IdeaPad treating you? Are these durable and of high quality as the Thinkpads? I LOVE it! Very solid, great build quality. I used to have a Thinkpad and I actually like the Ideapad a lot more.

The ideapads are supposed to be more flashy and less business-like, right?

Windows7even Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 ideapads are terrible..bought one a couple of years ago...the hinges put too much stress on the body of the laptop and pretty much just shreds the case..ruins the whole laptop....warranty had just expired too..onle 1 year :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/791824-show-us-your-workstations/page/9/#findComment-591402022 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chronopoulos Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 The ideapads are supposed to be more flashy and less business-like, right? Yeah, I think that's the idea. ideapads are terrible..bought one a couple of years ago...the hinges put too much stress on the body of the laptop and pretty much just shreds the case..ruins the whole laptop....warranty had just expired too..onle 1 year :( This is the first I've heard of such a problem. Also, a "couple years ago" doesn't really mean much. Designs are refined and updated pretty often. Quit trolling.

Vice Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 The V1000Z is a beautiful case. I have the Lian-Li PC-X2000 myself. Trying to source the side-window for it they recently released but it's difficult with no resellers stocking it.

I've currently got that case and I'd recommend it. It comes with 2 stock coolers which are doing their job great imo. The front is has holes with a dust-catcher which I every month. @FusionGuy: Looking great. The desk also looks really nice :) @+Vice: That's a tall case :| Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/791824-show-us-your-workstations/page/9/#findComment-591409006 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMELTN Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hey Fusionguy what speakers are you using on that desk? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/791824-show-us-your-workstations/page/9/#findComment-591409508 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamushroom Veteran Posted August 10, 2009 Veteran Share Posted August 10, 2009 @lflashl: The 3rd image isn't the Antec Three Hundred but I bet you've already figured that :p It also doesn't come with a PSU so you'll have to buy that separatly (If you want to have that new as well). I wish the whole inside was black by default because then I'd have searched for a window as well. The left side panel has a hole for an extra fan which also doesn't come with the case. After 2 weeks I saw that there was lots of dust coming through so I placed a filter behind it, kinda like the front has. Also, when you've got the case, set the 2 extra fans to "low" with the little switches. I had them set to "medium" before and after a day I've switched them to "low". It sounds a bit more pleasant when they're set to low. I might replace mine because I'm thinking about buying the the Zalman ZM-MFC 3 fancontroller. The current fans aren't supported by fancontrollers because the fans don't have the correct connections The whole case only costed me ? 52,- so for you it's almost ?14,- m:pe :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/791824-show-us-your-workstations/page/9/#findComment-591409852 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTempestSonata Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hey Fusionguy what speakers are you using on that desk? Klipsch Pro Media. It looks like he used a black marker to get rid of the name, but those are definitely the sats for the Pro Medias http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/products/promedia-2-1-overview/ They come in 2.1, 5.1, and I BELIEVE, 7.1 The 5.1, I think are silver, so those are the 2.1, I think. EDIT: yeah, 5.1 are silver, http://www.digitaltigers.com/speakers_klip...dia-ultra.shtml and I didn't see a 7.1, so I'm assuming those don't exist...
