Spider Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 With the exception of those 2 sheets of paper, your desktop is pretty tidy <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Two?There's more than two sheets and they're on top a few cds and a notepad. And some other stuff. And the ciar cleverly covers the right part, although there's less stuff there. But yeah, it oculd be worse, and in the past it has been.
tarna Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 Since I can't get the damned image feature to work... http://www.tarna.us/album_pic.php?pic_id=11 My desk is most always a mess because I get bored and either tear something apart or build something. Building this time. Ruminations... When a man has no Future, the Present passes too quickly to be assimilated and only the static Past has value.
Cantousent Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 Well, I guess tarna's is worse than my wife's. I'm strictly a build and forget it kind of guy. As long as the programs I need to run work properly, I don't ever tinker with my computer.

WITHTEETH Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 You have 2 mobo's in one case? how hectic is that? Why? Heat issues at all? Can you share a extrernal audigy soundcard or something atleast to save money? That looks pretty extreme. Always outnumbered, never out gunned!

tarna Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 :D I don't even bother putting the sides back on any of my computers since I'll just be taking it off again in a short time. That ugly brute is a network-in-a-box. I think it weighs about 50 pounds. Steel case with two 550 watt power supplies and 7 hard-drives. The local computer store is now carrying Seagate's 500 Gb drives so I'll probably be adding one or two of those to help clean it up. My wife is always yelling at me about the desk. Ruminations... When a man has no Future, the Present passes too quickly to be assimilated and only the static Past has value.

Can you share a extrernal audigy soundcard or something atleast to save money? That looks pretty extreme. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No problems with heat. I've added some fans in odd places to keep the processors cool. Two dual-cores in one case can make the heat add up real fast. I may add thermo-electric cooling if it becomes a problem. One of the systems is mostly archive so I don't care much about it's sound capabilities. As far as cost...I'm about 6K USD in this stupid thing. It started out as an idea and then Sarge cast some doubt on if I could make it work. Worst thing you can do is tell me something can't be done. It rapidly got out of hand from there. I've been working on it seriously for about 6 months. Works well but I really haven't loaded it up properly to baseline it. Ruminations... When a man has no Future, the Present passes too quickly to be assimilated and only the static Past has value.

mkreku Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 To my defence I have to add that my work involves reviewing games, so I get a lot of strange stuff sent to me, most of which ends up lost somewhere amidst all the junk on my desktop. The junk on the ugly carpeting (which is part of a student apartment from the sixties!) to the right of the desk is a project of mine where I'm slowly building a Windows 95 computer with a 3DFx Voodoo 5500 video card, just to be able to play my old Glide-games again. The room my computer is standing in is actually quite cozy (and not as barren as that picture makes it seem) but I didn't feel like including my girlfriend's setup and the sofa and bookcase and stuff. Oh yeah, and I hereby proclaim all of you as THIEVES! (except J.E. Sawyer and Kor Qel Droma). Why? Because NONE of you have any visible games! PIRATES, ALL OF YOU! Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

LadyCrimson Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 All my games (and other things) go on a tall bookshelf on the wall to the left of the desk. My non-game cd-roms go in the desk drawers. And the kitty boxes are behind me to the left, in a big closet. Mmmm, smelliferous! @Kaftan - thicker curtains might make things less visible. :D “Things are as they are.
