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 Was originally made as a keyboard tray light before I got my Eclipse.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.

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There's a brand-new update rolling out to Nvidia's GeForce NOW streaming service, and like every week, that means more games have received support on the platform. This week's drop has additions like Aphelion and Pro Cycling Manager 26 attached to it. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active too. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Moreover, Nvidia reiterated that support for GOG single sign-in and game library is incoming this summer, joining stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox. "Connect supported game store accounts and stream titles with GeForce RTX power. Games that include cloud-save functionality help keep progress intact across devices," added the company. "Start a game on one screen, pick up where playtime left off on another, and spend less time managing installs and storage space." Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Embers of the Uncrowned Demo (New release on Steam, available 13) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 15) Aphelion (Steam) Citizen Sleeper (Epic Game Store, Free from June 18-25) Megastore Simulator (Steam) OPERATOR (Steam) Super Meat Boy 3D (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month, with extra time being purchasable in chunks.
    • 47% profit margin? Wtf!! I know companies are in business to make money but come on man. I know for a fact I'll never own one of these.
    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
