The rightmost monitor is my gf's, just for references sake.

This is my workstation at home.. where I currently happen to be at the moment.

And yes, I am sporting a picture of the wife, baby booties under the right monitor and the ultrasound picture of my baby girl on my desktop.

Aren't I so sentimental?

Hey Dilmah, what kind of sound system do you connect your Xbox to?
I have to go through a faulty speaker and use headphones which is kind of annoying.
Title: Re: Post your Desktop thread
Post by: Dilmah G on April 01, 2011, 08:10:42 am: Hey man, see that white speaker sitting next to the stick and right computer speaker? I connect the box up through there and just use the headphone jack on that, so it's not really that much better than yours. Only positive is that I don't have to plug it in, so I've got enough free powerboard slots to plug my laptop in when I bring it down.

^ The actual desk. Much cleaner than before I took the pic. There's usually a 360 under the larger monitor, but it is currently on loan to family. I just output the 360 sound through my PC's Line In to my main system.

(http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/5997/sspx0058.th.jpg) (http://img59.imageshack.us/i/sspx0058.jpg/)

^The other half of my work area. Yes, that is a 466 PowerMac G4. Only have it because it was free, (Like a lot of my stereo equipment), but it makes a good accuradio and music box, especially while the main desktop is in Linux when I'm programming. (Linux hates my sound card)

And yes, that is a turntable and the Nat King Cole live record in on it. And no, I'm not 40. I'm 19.

Post by: LHN91 on April 01, 2011, 09:58:50 pm: Drop in 1Gb of ram and 10.4 Tiger and it runs like a champ. Well..... okay, it runs beautifully stable, if not particularly quickly. And it's kinda fun finding up to date software for it. But theres a custom build of firefox called TenFourFox that runs quite nicely on it. And in fact, I was posting from that PowerMac at the time.

EDIT: you seem to have the same speakers as me. Except yours has a green light, mine is blue. Fair size subwoofer to go with them?

Yep, I rest my feet on it. Playing a bass-heavy game is awesome, because I can actually feel when stuff happens.
Title: Re: Post your Desktop thread
Post by: LHN91 on April 04, 2011, 01:02:44 am: I have to muffle the sub with paper towels and set it to half to keep the bass sane lol. I have a small place, and if i don't, it drowns out the rest of the music/game sound and vibrates the entire house. Which is a problem when you live in an apartment in the basement of a century home. :D

Also, shameless cheapskate must be shameless cheapskate - i got them on yard sale for 15 dollars. I consider that 15 dollars very well spent.

By the way, are you a beginner driver?

depends on the country, in the UK if you pass your test in an automatic your driving licence will only allow you to drive automatics, also manual gearboxes are also held in higher regard here than autos

Title: Re: Post your Desktop thread
Post by: LHN91 on April 08, 2011, 01:54:44 pm: Not impossibly hard to take off in second, depending on the car. Could do it in the 92 Gas Jetta I learned in; can do it, but not as easily, in the 92 saturn twin cam I drive now.

Also curious as to what car you're you're learning on. And, yeah, didn't realize that about the UK. I'm in Ontario, Canada. And yeah, over here, it seems like the only ones who drive manuals are those who are people who are manual enthusiasts. Even school buses and transports are changing to automatics.
