nice, that one is cheaper ;)

You can even get it for even cheaper if you do a price match on NCIX with this place. http://www.bestdirect.ca/products/116037/ANTEC/NINE_HUNDRED/

What I always do when I buy stuff from NCIX is search for a cheaper price on http://www.shopbot.ca then do a price match. It works 99% of the time. It's what I did when I built my system.

I also have the Antec 900. Have had it since it was first released, but mine doesn't look as bright as yours. Are those the default illuminated fans that come with the antec or did you replace them?

Yeah, those are the default fans that came with the case, except for the side fan. I took the photo with the flash off so the pic looks a little brighter than it does in real life. I don't know if it's brighter than yours but when watching movies I do find the light a little distracting so I added switches on the front to switch off the lights/fans when watching movies.

What moniter & keyboard is that?

Does anyone know of a desk thats basicly floating on the wall, lol you get 2 brackets and push the desk on to the wall, you can get them in shelves and I'm sure I'v seen them in desks?

Slightly overkill with the keyboards + mice/touchpads :p

17" Asus (Core 2 Duo) on the left, built in tuner for media center, also running the 19" monitor in the middle

12" HP tx 2500ea tablet (Turion X2) on the right.

Both keyboards and mice you see on the desk are hooked up to the laptop on the left, and shared to the right using Multiplicity

Monitor, keyboard and mouse sitting under monitor are hooked up to my 1u server on the shelf above via KVM also (running Server 2008 as a dev/testing box for some new projects I'm working on)

Also sat under the monitor is a Creative X-Fi 5.1 usb soundcard driving my 5.1 speakers

All in all, there's 1 server, 2 laptops, 3 screens, 4 keyboards, 5 mice/touchpads and 6 speakers in here, it's a pretty nice setup :)

Now, back to work on that new version of Neowin...

New version of neowin?!? What's to be expected?

Imagine we took all the code we have for absolutely everything, threw it away, and started again, that's what we've done :p It's coming along nicely, but I'm not going to release any spoilers yet. Most of the staff haven't even seen it at this stage.

Nice looking cable sleeves. Can we get a full view from the side of the case?

Sure:

Also dust sure does accumulate quick on that window. I only wiped it down earlier today.

Sorry that the pics are looking down and not straight at the case but my Tripod is just a bit to tall and I couldn't be bothered to bodge something together to make it the same height as the centre of the case.

Not really if you have 3 long brackets all lenths of the desk and slide it on it shouldnt be a problem?

until it rips a big chunk out of your wall...

just imagine, the pivot point of the desk will be at the wall, and any weight applied to the edge of the desk (furthest from the wall) will be magnified. kinda like the effect when using a crowbar.

to get this to be any good you'd either need a very strong wall, and/or bolt deep into the wall.

    • VidCoder 12.20

      By Copernic · Posted

      VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary to compete against AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update bug that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.
