N0, 501 times

Taken in march - have changed wallpaper since then and got new (worse ) speakers

man, i really need a digital camera. :\

hey its gets us a little active stop wineing

ToSS - if you use a conventional camera you can ask your developer to put them on a Picture CD in most places...

i'd need a conventional camera first.

buy a disposable one ^>^

Well here's my little station setup, is in a little bit of mess at the moment, just finished moving in the new moniter i found at work.

Desktop

LOL yeah, things change though, I know my space has changed since before.

internet/wifes/other computer


My workstation, still. And some homely 450mhz PII on the floor there.


Then my drawing table and the Dell Optiplex GX260, which will hopefully soon get a 2.8 533 P4 and 1gb ram and at least 250gb HDD, my renderbox, remote on the network. Oh yeah and the HP laser printer on the floor in the corner that still patiently waits for a micro parrell cable to normal size paraell cable, dang cable are like $60. for a 6ft cable and very hard to find.

Here we are ladys, enjoy





there here btw

This is actually when my desk is clean. Heh.

I've got so much crap that I have a second desk behind me!

My chair and other junk

That's where my box sits.

I think we should run a comp for the messiest desktop area, .

I see you left your urine sample in a beaker on your desk, atomic. That McDonald's food sure gives it a festive color. It's surprising that you do such great design work on that non-nutritional fuel.

What's the story on the speaker downgrade, Pikaporeon? I'll bet you blew your last pair in a rock-out session. One of the systems I built was in that same case. That looks like a honkin' monitor!

Killer mousepad, Sn_ake. Who needs carbon fiber when you've got cardboard? Your wiring (lower right) looks a lot like my own.

Looks like you've got a system for cooling boxcrash ... just leave the side off your cases, eh? That looks like an 18-inch oscillator on your workstation box. Your office is a seriously great color.

Scary lookin' case, Shoe. 'Looks powerful ... I'll bet some windows get rattled when you turn up the volume. Nice dually, but this is either a new installation or you did some serious house cleaning prior to the photo session.

I'm sure you have a personal system in place that allows you to find everything, Sirius, but is there a 'puter in there somewhere?

Sn_ake, how could you propose a 'comp for messiest desktop' after seeing Sirius' place? He's already won if he can explain where the desktop is ... or the desk.

The pic below is from a while back, but not much has changed at the 'Cat's. It looks like this about once a week following clean-up.


I enjoy shots of others' work/play spaces. Keep 'em coming.

That is an awesome keyboard? What model is it?

LOL Sailcat.

Yeah the mousepad is covetred by a brown envelope as the optical mouse didn't seem to like pad underneath.

im so Jealous of your setup Boxcrash....

I'll take a picture of my crap right now...Its SEMI clean..

bah...there it is

you all know what the kleanex box is for...LOL


had to get a close up of my katana, because box has one too..

did you get another new mouse shoe?

i'll post when i get a camera

I'm currently building my new desk.

I got sick of the first build, so I've taken it apart and I'm currently computering on the floor.



I'll post the new desk when I finish it on the weekend..

Here is my cheesy attempt at making a homemade panoramic from 3 pics...

Heres my Hax station!

Enjoy

Here's mine. It's pretty simple:

@ Sirius: That's a Creative Prodikeys keyboard. I wanted instant gratification for midi input. It's fairly crappy as a musical instrument and is a truly crummy keyboard for typing, though.

I'm a guitarist, though, and play keyboard badly ....

Here is my story

Sprout I love that computer, it rocks.

Thanks Spidermanx.

Yeah Sailcat, my Athlon runs at about 42*C under heavy rendering and at about a ambient temp of 75-80*F in the room, so I am weird and like to use the Lasko 21"(not a 18", ) to get those temps down around 38*C, then when it is about 70*C-75*C in the room in will run at about 30-35*C when doing some rendering and alot of 3D work. Which makes me happy, so yeah I keep the fan set to non-oscialte, I am weird about cooling.

Ever since I had some SCSI drives get so hot they burned up a $2000.00 Targa capture card.

Oh and Pimp nice Dell, is that a XPS L800(P3), Mummy/mummy II I think it is called. Clean area.

Nice stuff you've got there Sprout!!! Don't the neighbours complain about the gamma radiation comming from you space?

They moved bedroom to another room
and truth is they a little slow already so radiation won't harm them.[too late]

That's an awesome setup Sprout, and a spectacular mess in that 2nd pic, well done!

Sproutme-

You obviously suffer from an irreversible case of Hardware Lust, but among others similarly afflicted you are justly lauded.

Great setup, sweet recovery/upgrade from your hydrological mishap. It's cool (pun intentional) that you returned to a quiet, efficient water system.

I covet your Parehlia. How does it perform for you outside the tasks for which its designed? Do you do any gaming and if so, is it satisfactory?

The question which always occurs to me when I see an enthusiast with a maxed-out system is: "What's next?"

Cheers,

~SC

Thanx

As I am not a big gamer can't really tell which games runs ok with parhelia.
One thing I can tell that Doom 3 failed miserably.I couldn't play even with lowest settings.That's the first game I tried to load on this system and probably the last.
Other than that it works really well with video editing and occasional movie watching on my old 42" Sony TV.Though I was really disappointed with quality on my HDTV ready Sharp Aquos 37" through S-video connection.

for what's next question it's not really much you can do with this PC setup except to upgrading to bigger HD and adding another gig of memory.
My position of upgrading is I wait till the speed of processor doubles and that's when I build new PC. Usually it is a yearly cycle maybe a little more.Last couple years I was following that cycle but now PC's have enough juice to multitask without driving you crazy and I might keep it for longer unless I cut the hose and tell my wife that it was accident otherwise it is hard to explain why you need a new PC

Bored... so I took updated pictures of my station...




Got myself a keyboard. \m/

I should have a where's waldo contest for this desk behind me.

Yeah... bored... as you can tell...

I think my camera's set to blurry, don't know why!

Finally finished building the desk, I've put my 12" Subwoofer under the desk for playing Doom3 - Holy Shit - It really adds to the atmos-fear!

Hey nice desk enigma, its good to see I am not the only one building my desks.
Desk builders unite!!!

Plus it cost so much to get a desk the size of the one I built.

Why spend hundreds of dollars on a desk, when heck you build another computer with that money.

I gues I am 1/2 builder
i bought the top, legs and drawer for keyboard all separate ant put them together

Little update..



I bought a wireless desktop and also a 7" LCD which I've hooked upto the TV-Out - I got a 2nd LCD aswell, but havent got an AC power adaptor for it yet, so i'll hook that one up in the car.

After making a desk with more space, I've got a lot more room for rubbish to build up which is annoying - should do a clean-up.

I thought I'd better give my desk a bit of a cleanup before I post it .... couldn't even see the desk before

hmmm, what is that an 8-track?

Updates...

well I bought new drives (raptors), that prompted me to need more power, which made me want a dual powered able case, which made me buy a new case, a new Plex 716A, a new LiteOn combo drive, another power supply, a Sony HS94P lcd monitor....etc

sorry it didn't work. How the hell do you post a picture here?????

Everytime I try to post I get the following message

"Sorry, dynamic pages in the [IMG] tags are not allowed" My image file is on Yahoo Briefcase.


How the hell does this work?

Here we go again

here is the link to where I have just taken some pics.. if you want, you can also check out some pics from my room at barracks that I have taken (and believe me - we are privileged company on those comps&such! ). normally I would also have that monitor from the army as third monitor on the desk, and the dvd-set would be on the left under one of them.. but having taken them to barracks for now, they arent as usual oh and the second comp is still on its stages.. havent finished it yet, its old puter (P 133) for MS-DOS games might later also be a server / firewall or something..
have also been planning on getting third comp and putting my current one to rest from active use and act as a storage room or something, but the plan is currently on ice due to trying to get some money for a trip to meet one girl.. but its another story

edit: fixed some grammatical misstakes

oh and as a side-note.. comp will be staying at my place & on the net for the next week too, so you have some time to check them out (if my comp is at my home, you can see the signature pic and thus also those pics)

I painted my drives black to match...look at original pic above to see em white!
