Show us your workstations!


Recommended Posts

Was forced to update my rig this week after a failed PSU (OCZ M600) took mobo (GIgabyte UD3-P) and CPU (Q9550 4GHz)...RIP the Q9550!

Anyway, here's the new stuff: i5 2500K @ 4GHz, 8GB XMS3 (9-9-9-24-2T 1600MHz), MSI P67A-G45-B3, Corsair HX750W.

The rest remains as was (GTX460 Asus Top edition, Xonar Essence STX, 4.5TB storage)

Old HS (Ultra120):

The RAM clearance was "magical"...

I'll take this off after a few days when the novelty wears off :p

Here's my current workspace. Wish I could have less cables on it. Click on it to go to Flickr for photo notes.

I had that monitor and I liked it. Dunno why I sold it really.

I can so see the need for multiple monitors. Everything I do is web based mainly. Apart from the odd few things like Calc,MSN, Spyware/Anti Virus etc. I presume those of you who have done it have used the arms how easy is it to set up those?

Hey dude, how do you keep that case clean? I been using turtle wax which gives it a really nice shine to it :p

Since taking this shot I've moved my desk back around to my usual setup, with my laptop on its cooler and my monitor as my primary display. Usually when studying etc. and making notes I'll have a reference/lecture notes on one display and OneNote on the other.

I love how colour-coordinated your workstation is. Nice, soft and neutral! Kinda the complete opposite to my sharp and saturated one. :laugh:

    • Along with that and very unfortunate for Linux, the AI boom/tariffs/global supply chain instability really destroyed any chances of it getting a decent chunk of market share. By all accounts, if a Steam Deck was still available for $399 (with tons of alternatives releasing at $500-$800 - instead of $1500+ now) and the Steam Machine was out there for $499, I think a lot of people WOULD have been willing to try SteamOS and switch away from Windows. But yeah, with the crazy jacked up prices now, people have to make safe bets with their money.
    • Neowin hasn't been covering the Ladybird browser but it has been posted about on a lot of tech and Linux/open source sites. I have been following the effort myself for almost a year now. Cloudflare and Proton are among their sponsors. You can read the why here--> https://ladybird.org/#about
    • That's really the user's problem, not the developers. It's not like the Windows 10 EOL was a surprise. Once a product goes out of support, you have to understand YOU are owning the risk of running it - the rest of the world will move on, maybe you'll be OK, maybe you'll be OK for a while, maybe you'll have an issue.... But you can't expect devs to write or certify software for dead operating systems.
    • Not mentioned in this blog post is that Linux has now dropped for 2 months in a row. At a hight of 5.33% in March, then 4.52% in April and now 3.99% in May. I suspect the end of Windows 10 got a bunch of people to try Linux, fueled by all the Microsoft hate, and rabid social media push of that....and now they are going back to Windows 11 because of the normal Linux issues. The vast majority of PC gamers want to use their computers to game and not trouble shoot why a game wont work, or half work.
    • do these change.org petitions ever do anything besides give people a place to complain?
