A Mac, a Dell dimension and a WD Mybook. I see you'd rather get everybody else to do the work for you? lol

Well Santa's been and gone, and a good old tidy up was on the cards, plus a new desk and a few bits of kit that Santa was kind enough to drop off, so time for a couple new pics.. Main desk (had to buy a new one just to get the new Quad Core PC off the floor away from the dust bunnies); was going to retire some of the old kit but have rigged most of it up again, have to have enough machines for when the kids want to hit the 'net - Previous desk moved to other side of room - TV area, where i try to spend most of my time now, much the same as previously posted pictures except for the addition of my main xbox with the ultra sexy XBMC (Xbox Media Centre) running on wireless so it can access all my tunes and movies on my main PC; most of my games are now installed on the xbox hard drive (250GB though it's full now!) - Believe it or not this PC is virtually silent, even this near by, can't even hear the 5 hard drives, which reminds me.. the 6th needs hooking up - Oops need to remove the dust from when the case was on the floor - And finally what it looks like in the dark -
Lookin nice n clean creaky Here's my main desktop. http://my.afterdawn.com/vtowner/show_image.cfm/15879 My new 360 and my pc case. http://my.afterdawn.com/vtowner/show_image.cfm/15877 Inside the case. http://my.afterdawn.com/vtowner/show_image.cfm/15881 My home server. http://my.afterdawn.com/vtowner/show_image.cfm/15882
creaky that rig is too sexy for you dude! and whats with the IBM deoderant can? and that humungus big MOFO Zalman fan - awesome
Lol you can tell a man who likes technology but doesn't know a lot about PCs... "It's got a big fan!" Hehe I jest Rotary. On a side note, I've noticed something interesting about your 900, Creaky. The fans in mine have black blades but a transparent surround, yours have a black surround as well. Interesting, as black-surround fans are known to vibrate less (and therefore be quieter) than transparent ones. I guess they don't do Benq burners in black eh?
It's a posh water bottle i was given at a computer expo a year or 3 ago; just awaiting another 120mm blue LED fan for the side of the PC case and it's virtually complete; plus need to buy a SATA hard drive enclosure as there's no free connections for the 6th 500GB drive but they seem to be like gold dust. Oh and 2 new wireless routers to see if i can get better coverage with 2 routers linked together instead of the one i have now.
I don't mind the Benq standing out as the odd one out; as to the Antec case, yep, that confused me at first, some googling turned up the answer, mine's the early version, they redesigned (and i think were supposed to have recalled the first generation cases) the case due to the uppermost PCI slot opening as it was blocking access to high-end graphics cards or something; i'm perfectly happy with it though as i don't do PC gaming anymore; too many other gadgets edit- cheers Sam, i'll check it out, i do like the look of those type of enclosure, the only ones i'd found so far were cheap crappy looking ones
Ah right, that makes sense. Mine's an earlier generation than most, but after they solved the PCI bracket function fortunately. It doesn't have the rubber mat for the top section and doesn't have a hard disk LED or case speaker. As for the IcyBox, they're the only enclosures I've used that worked solidly apart from an Akasa one I had for a while. A lot of IcyBoxes are a bit naff, but I've never had any issues with the IB-351s, but for the fact they scratch easily.
Sam, lets see a pic of your rig! Here are a few of mine, although I couldn't get everything in as the monitor is far away for the desktop itself, as well as the speakers, keyboard, etc. http://i.my.afterdawn.com/standard/15960.jpg http://i.my.afterdawn.com/standard/15959.jpg Also have a few videos on youtube in the link in my sig.
These are two photos of the LAN party I was sat at and indeed will be again this weekend: http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/5079/s50000684mr.jpg http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/3033/s50000696by.jpg My 30" Dell is the one on the right, Jon's is the one on the left - FYI it was his that made me go "I want one of those" and then buy one! As for my current setup, I have a <slightly blurry lol> photo on my profile page, these two I've just taken are slightly better IMO. http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/66/s5000445rl2.jpg http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/407/s5000446wx1.jpg (Left as URLs for obvious reasons) Edit: Oh yeah, not forgetting the all-important window shot! http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/9985/s5000447sq7.jpg
