-Post pics of your computer-

[Flyordie]

Ok, you wanted Pics...





The RAM is running in Dual Channel. I wish there was a space between the channels like on my ASUS A8V-XE.

[SSXeon]

Not bad, and those earthwatts PSUs are great, got one myself in my other PC.

My "other" computer (just bought it last friday)


New computer on the left, old, broken 14" laptop on the right. Notice how the machine is much smaller but the keyboards are almost the same size.


vs 14" laptop again (thickness)


lid closed


vs standard sized book. Too bad I didn't have this machine instead of the the other one when I studied...


vs cellphone. It's a bit of a fingerprint magnet but the smudges aren't quite as visible as they appear in the photo.



It's the Acer Aspire One, the cheapest model which was $290 here in Sweden: 1.6 GHz Atom, 512MB RAM (going to add another 1GB later), 8GB SSD plus 2x8GB SD Class6 cards (it comes with two card readers). I replaced the original Linux OS with a nLite'd version of WinXP SP3.

Nunz, did you flip your armor side case fan to the outside of the panel?

Open source short film made with Blender.

There's a picture of my old monitor near the top of Page 62 (along with a view of my case).

Yes i did, due to the TRUE-120 it didnt fit, so i flipped it to the outside. works just as good

[traitoR]

Added a sound card and maybe a hard drive plus hid a couple more wires since i last posted a pic... blew out the cobwebs today so i took a couple snaps of the insides.

Wow, looking good man. Love the coiled SATA cables.

[sittal]

took a pic with my phone, pretty crappy.

[logical]

I dont remember how long ago I posted mine but Ive moved since... the speakers are no longer up there, I moved them to the living room and connected them to my PS3. But everything else is basically the same

[ScottDoom]

Paint your walls and get a faceplate for that outlet.

Screw the walls, but damn it man are you nuts? Cover that outlet up.

[logical]

You come paint my walls and its a done deal. Knocked the face plate off long ago and never felt like puttin it back. Been like that for months and its probably not going to change.

[caveman-jim]

Faceplate is a buck or less, worth the time and effort to protect from accidental electrocution or damage to your nice equipment, or even just the hassle of having to reset a breaker.

From last night (homework and hot chocolate)

and today (orange juice and work :|)

I thought it was bad to bend SATA cables?

[traitoR]

I`ve never had a problem yet, theres a drawer full of cables so i`m not to worried, maybe if you crimp one though.

smooth bends are ok. Kinked bends are teh bad.

So, coiled ftw.

[caveman-jim]

I hate the look of coiled, myself. Prefer to fold them like they do for shipping. But to each his own!

Same here.

Why would you want pig-tails? It actually takes up more space, and as a result is more noticeable than straight cables.

[Meteor_of_War]

The length of the cables coiled up is shorter than when straight, meaning you dont have the SATA cables snaking around everywhere. I think that's what the fascination with that method is. I personally like the way it looks too.

my rig

here's a picture of my rig

[SSXeon]

Nice! Did you oc your cards? I want your rig, i hate you.

Not as impressive as you guys. Probably plain jane lol

And the Comp:

[OverclockN']

Looks good!

Are those the newer Gateways with the glossy screen and HDMI? I want to upgrade to two of those in 24" so bad. What do you think of them?

Also, I see you're a book reader! We'd get along well, I think.

With all the servers you mess with and all the extensive knowledge you have thats all? I would expect a guy like you to have some dark creepy basement with a few Cray mainframes and cluster servers. So everytime you enter your basment with your lab coat and switch on the power, you scream," its alive, ha ha ha".

[ScottDoom]

Holy dust! Shows up really well in an HDR. Also, my first HDR image. Didn't really turn out that great. I have no idea what I'm doing during the process.

Yup, glossy screen and HDMI (along with VGA, DVI, Composite, S-Video and Component) They are pretty nice monitors. Good black levels, 92% Wide color gamut, 3ms response time and I've yet to notice any ghosting. The model that I have (FHD2400) has been discontinued, though you should be able to find refurbished units online; bought my second refurbished from tigerdirect for $280.

[clerick]

I went to page 1 by accident and it's an interesting progression of crts to 4:3 lcds and then ws lcds. Also pc insides went from tiny heatsinks on the cpu and lots of free molex and ide around to huge towers and no ide nor molex.
