If my hardware would allow it, I would be running 2 external monitors (one via HDMI/DVI and another via VGA).

The external monitor in this photo is now connected via HDMI/DVI instead of VGA, but it's a week old photo. :p

You should get a blind for that window (unless you only use your laptop at night) - the strain on your eyes of daylight flooding all around (even if not direct) against trying to focus on a close screen which is very dark in comparison will be putting huge unnessary strain on your eyes. It will make such a big difference you will be able to feel it and not believe you never had one. You should not focus on close dimly lit objects with bright day light in the background ever.

That's what the vertical blinds are for. If you didn't notice the image didn't show the other side of the Window.

Ah thank goodness!

As for getting a big desk Ikea do some cheap basic ones - you can get the table top separate to the supports (whether you choose legs/cabinet etc.) they go up to 2m in length x 0.6 deep :)

Full PC/room maintenance...

Just finished stripping out 2 USB hard drives and internally installing / installing Windows 7 / general PC clean internally, mouse(+mat), keyboard and cable tidy up internally and externally.

In total got rid of 8 cables and 1 power strip :) and now have more desk space too since hiding my box down below.

the left one is a samsung and the right an acer... my guess is they are a pair of 22inchers?

Yep you are right on the samsung and acer, close but they 24inch each @ 1920x1200 (x1200 rather than the increasingly common x1080 for the full HD badge it seems) - they were originally both acer and matched till one died a couple of months ago :( luckily still in warranty by the store but sadly the model is discontinued by them and everywhere else (all the acers that are similar seem to be 1080) so they offered me the next closest monitor with the same res/ratio which was actually ?50 more than the Acer I got - its a shame the other Acer hasn't blown up - i liked them matching!

They look bigger now the case isn't on the side cupboard and cables and other bits and pieces are also tidied up.

Stuff you see:

Acer 24" Monitor

Logitech G15 Keyboard

Logitech G5 Mouse

Razer Mantis Mouse Mat

1TB Western Digital External Hard Drive

I dont suppose you have a link for the wallpaper on the big screen do you?

    • 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.

    • Too soon, I'm still not over this death!
    • 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.
