    Nothing bad to say about Hanns-G. Although they appear a budget brand I haven't heard of any major issues.

    That is what I'm looking for...a budget monitor. I can get the 19" widescreen Hanns-G for $170, but I've seen the VeiwSonics and Samsungs that low before. Also looking at a Sceptre.

    Go to imageshack.us, upload your image, then copy the link at the bottom. (Direct link to image). Then as shown in the information above the reply box, put [ img ] before the URL and [ /img ] after it, but without the spaces:

    i fixed a couple posts further up the page..

    ..still haven't got my camera working, an expensive doorstop by the look of it so far; anyways, i've bought some new bits and bobs, nothing major though.

    pics from - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_jump.cfm/425578/2682272

    At the moment i'm using one of these cheap & cheerful USB2.0 enclosures for my 120MB MP3 hard drive -
    [​IMG]

    ..works a treat and i move it easily and transparently between my Linux laptop and Windows/Linux Burner PC, USB is excellent when you get a decent chipset :)

    But for no reason whatsoever i've bought two of these (only wanted one but it was rude to not get another) with a 250GB drive to replace the 120GB enclosure for MP3's to future proof myself a bit (i sure do like my music) -
    [​IMG]
    (lots of nice lights and buttons).

    These are the Belkin burner enclosures i swear by (i've had 2 for the longest time, just bought another 2) -

    [​IMG]

    i also have a new corner of the room all sorted but it'll have to keep 'til i get camera working but i'm pondering buying another PC or two anyways.

    Finally able to send a picture of how I'm setup at university. The room's a mess, so apologies for that!
    The hifi speakers are on the floor because at present there's nowhere else to put them. They were going to be used as speakers for the communal xbox 360 we have. The black box on the floor is the 120W subwoofer.

    /me spots what looks like an asthma inhaler on sammorris's desk.

    Btw, that case reminds me of a toaster somehow, looking all chromed up.
    What brand is it ?
    I think something like that would be nice for my case/mini drinks dispenser/cooler mod project.

    It's an NZXT Lexa, and I still haven't seen a case that I like the look of more. The plastic reflective finish is a bit of a pain to keep clean, and youll notice there's an annoying scratch on the left hand sde near the top. Fortunately though, without the flash from the camera on it, it's not so noticeable. The amazing thing is, bar that scratch, it looks completely clean in a dimly lit room, you don't see any of the dust spots.

    You're correct regarding the asthma inhaler lol. Not had to use it for a while, but sometimes watching or doing something very funny, laughs can bring it on, so I keep it by me.

    The ones that run at 2560x1600 do especially. The graphics power required to pull those resolutions is immense though!
