Does anybody remember that one guy that was running like 9-12 monitors?? I'm trying to find him again, I can't remember what his username was!!!!

That sounds badass!

I have some new speakers, Cambridge Audio S70. They replace the Mordaunt-Short Avant 914i (now for sale) as I wanted something with a better match to my setup and slimmer cabinets:

Specs of the servers and what you use them for? :p *inner geek inside* lol

I love that case I would want it in black!!!

Got the case in Black, and what the poster says about the Black case is true, lol!

What's the media center case you're using?

I bought the computer when gateway was selling it at futureshop here in Canada before they pulled out.

The model is the SX2311. Its a small form factor case. One of the better i've used.

Has a quality build.

Think I had paid $230 for it at the time.

Noo, Not that guy. this other guy had them all stacked, I think he had 12 monitors or something 3 rows with 4 in each row, lol

Is it possible that you mean Stefan Didak? Not sure if he was a user here in neowin, but your description fits his office.

my god....... what does he do?

Not certain as to what that guy does, but when I worked in Ergonomics, I would have everything from Day Traders to Security to Your average person ordering monitor mounts to hold their massive amounts of monitors. I had a discussion with a day trader which told me that he would run several screens just to hold the financial data and charts/graphs etc which would always need to be displayed. The others were for his monitoring of the news, and software he would use to process the trades.

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
