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.

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.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By sphbecker · Posted

      All versions is correct. The bug appears on any version of Windows with KB5094126 installed. It's a little insane to expect the author to explain that systems that can't possibly have that patch installed, will not experience the bug. If you have any gripe about the title, it would be that it doesn't mention the update at all, but I wouldn't agree with that either. A title is not expected to be a full summery of the article.
