This room looks great and seems rather relaxing, loads of natural sunlight unlike my south facing room :-(

Yeah, I hate my room at both University and home, because they're East facing it means I only get sunlight in the morning, so it's dark for the rest of the afternoon. The room keeps cool though so.

Don't complain until you've tried living in a cave :p There is a new room built outside mine so my window is basically worthless, no sunlight at all here :(

Here's mine. Pics taken with a Samsung Digimax S700 camera.

Antec SLK2600AMB mid tower case

Saitek Eclipse kb in red

MS Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 reissue

Steelpad QcK+ mousepad

Altec Lansing 251 speakers (rear and center channels are put away as I don't use them)

NEC LCD1765 monitor

APC Back-ups ES750 UPS

TP-Link TL-WR642G wireless router

The desk is from Walmart, came with the matching "bookshelf".

I've removed the lowest shelves of the desk and bookshelf and gotten rid of them. The desk's top shelf can be seen standing against the wall behind the desk. The whole thing is a bit shaky now that half of it's support is gone, but at least I can vacuum under it now. No more blanket of dog hair collecting where I can't get to it.

With 2 dogs in the house, I would never even think about putting the tower on or near the floor, especially with freakin' carpet everywhere.

Built a drawer and modded the desk to mount it. Added a scrap piece of ClosetMaid wire shelf to mount monitor's power supply on. The rest of the wiring is hidden behind the privacy panel and bookshelf the tower sits on, all bundled with twist ties or other wire wraps.

The white thing behind my monitor is a pvc pipe with dual color leds (red/blue) mounted in it. Runs off usb. Was originally made as a keyboard tray light before I got my Eclipse. I had a Fellows tray mounted under the desk and the light mounted to the tray, with the switch mounted in the side of the tray. You can see the switch in a couple of the pics next to the tower, along with my Sansa Fuze cable.

I make no excuses for mom's mess. It drives me freakin' insane to be near a mess like that. I prefer a spartan environment.

Her computer is a Dell Inspiron 530 with 3gigs PC2-6400 ram, 500gig Samsung hd, Core2Duo E4700, Intel mobo /w G33 chipset, same mouse as mine. Pretty decent machine for a stock OEM.

are you watching TWIT? :shiftyninja:

I bought a new MacBook Pro 13" today. I decided to stick with the 2.4 GHz base model considering even those specs are more than what I need.

Approximately 10 hours of battery life is just awesome.

This != your workstation.

Can you take a few pictures for me? I cant seem to find good shots on it online, like pictures of the top and the front of the laptop. Thanks! :D

No problem. I won't be able to get them done tonight, but I should have time after work tomorrow. I'll PM them to you when I get them done.

    • I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
