Show us your workstations!

My new workstation at work. It's a G5 Hackintosh running OSX and Win7. We're going to be adding a couple more OSX machines in our marketing dept. and I wanted to be able to use OSX fluently.

Sorry for the quality, taken with my HTC Hero's camera!

Wow, those cables look like a fire hazard and a trip hazard.

Haha looks like a real IT department if you ask me. I need a job like you I long for one. I work in IT but need something settled like you seem, Desktop Engineer may I ask?

I wish... IT Manager for an automotive dealer group. It's a job where you're a jack of all trades attempting to be the master of all those trades. I manage the phone system (ancient avaya box), 8 Servers (7 winos, 1 Linux), handle the tape based backups, and i'm a pc support desk person. All those at the same time, plus whatever else management wants to add to the list. I'm told i'm invaluable, but based on my paychecks my value is about $13.00 an hour. haha.

Here's a shot of my new PC case :D Finished the build 30 minutes ago.

Sorry for the low quality. I quickly made the shot with my phone :)

I'm pretty happy with this case so far. It has great cable management which was missing from my previous case. The airflow is also pretty great (Y) It also contains my new EVGA GTX 460 :D After sending my XFX GTX 260 back for repairs, XFX decided to return the card telling the store where I bought it that there was no fault in the card. The store sent it back again only to get it back from XFX with the same message. So then the store decided to send me a replacement card, which turned out to be the EVGA GTX 460 :D

    • My wish list is: A trailer for Final Fantasy VII part 3 and a proper look at Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Not happening, but I'd kill for would be another game of any genre in the Frostpunk world and another game in the Detroit: Become Human world.
    • I tried Wino-Mail and had the same issue with it that I have with New Outlook: My two centurylink.net email accounts (one of which is my primary email account) refuse to work with either one, and sometimes refuse to even log in, even though ALL the relevant information is accurate. Thunderbird does not have this problem, so I'll stick with what works, thank you.
    • For me it has everything feature wise that I want. But boy the app sucks big time. This and Teams. Ever since they made the transition to WebView it has been slow AF. I mostly use both apps in the browser now because of too much memory being used by these 2 apps. Hoping that native versions are being worked upon.
    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11 by Taras Buria The May 2026 Steam Hardware & Software Survey results are now available on the official Steam website, showing Windows 11's continuous growth among the gaming audience. As of early June 2026, nearly 70% of all participants reported having a Windows 11-powered PC, while Windows 10's market share is steadily declining. According to Valve, in May 2026, Windows 11 increased its market share to 69.76% (+2.02 points), while Windows 10 dropped to 23.99% (-1.64 points). 64-bit Windows 7 is still showing up in Valve's reports, and apparently, about 0.07% of all survey participants still use the 17-year-old operating system. Valve no longer updates its client for Windows 7, but it still can access the platform, so the Windows 7 holdouts can stay away from newer Windows versions. Overall, 93.85% of all users run Windows (+0.38 points), while Linux is second with 3.99% (-0.53 points). macOS is third with at 2.16% (+0.15 points). The most popular Linux flavor is Arch Linux (0.35%), while macOS 26.4.1 is currently the dominant macOS release. On the hardware side, the most popular picks include an Intel processor (53.94% against AMD's 46.06%) with six cores (28.02%, -0.6 points), 16 GB of memory (41.14%, -0.28 points), and an NVIDIA graphics card (72.42%, with AMD having 19.13% and Intel 8.05%). The most popular graphics card on Steam is the desktop NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (3.85%, -0.14 points), while the laptop RTX 4060 is second with 3.77%, and the RTX 3050 is third with 3.10%. The average amount of VRAM is 8GB (25.89%), and the dominant display resolution is the classic 1920x1080 pixels (51.89%, -0.32 points). As usual, you can find more details from the latest survey on the official website. The results for April 2026 are available here.
