Pictures of your computer setup (hi-res pic alert!)

[Foo Fighter]

Hey, show off your PC/workstation setup. Here is my chamber of horrors:

[Jason Dunn]

Great idea for a thread Foo! Here's where the little elves inside my head toil away...and this is what it looks like when it's CLEAN. :lol:

[Foo Fighter]

Good lord! How can one man have SO many systems? 8O :wink:

Jason, I like PPCs as much as the next guy, but.....FOUR Toshiba's? :?:

By the way, that Shuttle system looks SWEET!

[eternalblue]

Hey Jason, I have the exact same bookshelf as you do. Its the Billy bookshelf from Ikea, right? Ah, good 'ol Ikea.

[Jason Dunn]

Good lord! How can one man have SO many systems?

Our house has four PCs, one laptop, and way too many Pocket PCs. ;-)

Jason, I like PPCs as much as the next guy, but.....FOUR Toshiba's? :?:

Microsoft donated them to my church - I'm just getting ready to roll them out there and train the staff to use them. That's not quite normal for me. ;-)

By the way, that Shuttle system looks SWEET!

It sits, sadly neglected for the most part. The problem is that it's still crammed full of parts from vendors who lent/gave me them for the book, and I still haven't returned them. :oops: So I have this psychological aversion to using it because it's not my "real" PC - I have to get over that someday soon, return the parts, buy replacement ones, and use it as my real computer. See how messed up I am? :lol:

[Jason Dunn]

Hey Jason, I have the exact same bookshelf as you do. Its the Billy bookshelf from Ikea, right? Ah, good 'ol Ikea.

Ikea bookshelf, Ikea wall shelves, Ikea desk, Ikea chair (on the right), and behind my workstation (not in the photo) I have two more Ikea bookshelves and several chairs. Ikea rules. 8)

[Jason Dunn]

Hey, show off your PC/workstation setup. Here is my chamber of horrors

Sweet! Tight, clean, calm - very nice. Killer monitor too - that thing looks huge! What's the lampshade thingie though? :wink:

palmfactory.com?? Foo, say it isn't so... :lol:

[masseym]

Im jealous... Your workstations are all clean :)

Im working on getting a picture, but i want to "tidy" mine up first :) I feel like a fool with such piece of art here lol...

Ok, here it is :) Yes, I work from home and in my bedroom :)

Sorry about the fuzziness... Im not a photographer :D

[Foo Fighter]

....Tight, clean, calm -

They won't let me have bright colors....or sharp pointy objects. Has something to do with my unstable mental condition. :wink:

Killer monitor too - that thing looks huge!

That is my new baby...the Dell 1800FP (OEM Samsung 182T) which has replaced my old piece of crap Sony G400. Picture quality is INCREDIBLE, and it is AWESOME for gaming (no ghosting, or pixel jitter)...and that's in ANALOG mode. I just need to upgrade my OEM video card to either an ATI 9500 or NVidia Ti 4200/440 (can't decide which).

What's the lampshade thingie though? :wink:

That's my vanity mirror. I use it to check my make-up. :P

palmfactory.com?? Foo, say it isn't so... :lol:

I also own the Pocketfactory domain as well.

[Jonathon Watkins]

Nice. I'll put mine up as soon as I get the area tidied up. Would'nt want you all getting the wrong idea now would it? :wink:

Ah - just noticed the 'picture in picture' effect - very clever Foo! :D

If one rack screw should give way, it's all over and you will be crushed do death under your own computing power.

[dacs29]

Here is my "workarea" as it looked over Christmas break when I was back home in Germany. Right now I'm in college in the United States and my work area is no more than the left-most laptop (Dell Inspiron 8200) with a switch and WAP and lot of books. I don't have a camera here, so maybe I could borrow one and take some photos of my dorm-room work area later.

Anyway, the room is a little messy--but compared to other photos, I'm not so sure anymore. BTW, the girl in the chair is my sister.

dacs29, is that an old Vaio, or a custom built box?

[PPCRules]

I can't believe how clean/straightened up you guys' spaces are!

I was feeling really bad and was ready to start cleaning up, but then I realized that these are the only guys that have been able to actually find their cameras so that they could take the picture.

[dacs29]

dacs29, is that an old Vaio, or a custom built box?
Yep! That's an old 300 MHz PCV-240 Vaio. :D While it's already over five years old, it's been updated so many times that it still runs Win XP nicely enough to have the rest of the family use it to check e-mail, surf the web, and just type up word documents.

While I am a big fan and like going to the conventions, I have never been one of those dress up in costume and act in character kind of fans. That IMHO, would be just too over the top and would make me obsessed. :wink:

[Foo Fighter]

That IMHO, would be just too over the top and would make me obsessed. :wink:

I'm more frightened by people who discuss Star Trek lore as if it were real. I once visited a ST newsgroup where posters were discussing the number of ships in Starfleet, which class of Battlecruiser had more firepower, and how long the theoretical shelf-life is for Dilithium Crystals. I shudder to think these loonies have voting power! :?

Well, enough Star Trek chit chat. :lol:

Hey, Marlof..nice setup! :)

How do you like your Vaio? And iBook?

Also, is that an Axim on your desk, or is it an iPaq? Can't quite make that out.

[bblock]

Here's my home office, minus my wonderful IBM ThinkPad, which I'm not using right now. I must say, I can't profess to having the latest/greatest, although I got a great deal on a P4 2.53GHz at Christmas. However, my claim to fame is my 24" (yes, 24") 16x10 aspect ratio Compaq monitor (Sony Trinitron tube). This thing is 4.5 yrs old and still rocks. I run it at 1920x1200, although I have to bump it back to 1280x800 to run NFS-Porsche Unleashed.

Did I mention that NFS-Porsche Unleashed absolutely ROCKS on a 24" screen? With my boxing-day special Microsoft wheel for $20, it's driver's heaven.

And that other stuff? My keybard, Bowflex, bass amp and 14-channel mixer, most of which I don't have nearly enough time to play with.

Hey, Marlof..nice setup! :)

How do you like your Vaio? And iBook?

Also, is that an Axim on your desk, or is it an iPaq? Can't quite make that out.

Both Vaio and iBook are pretty cool. The Vaio is a year old, 1.7 P4, 256 mb RAM (I know, I know....), 80 GB HD. It has one problem: when it goes unused, it starts stuttering. Still need to check the RAM or the moronic XP install that came with it for flaky drivers. Probably time to reinstall from scratch. But I've been planning to do that for a year.... :D

The iBook is amazing. I want the same lamp thingy you're having, so the iBook doesn't get lonely.

In the pic you can see the Dell Axim (in the cradle), an iPAQ 3870 (on top of the Vaio) and the Jornada 720 Handheld PC (also on top of the Vaio).

You'll notice in the second picture that we have more than 1 person in our office who's a PPCT fan. :D

Our (standard-sized) office contains a assortment of equipment, including but not limited to: 6 computers
7 monitors (3 flatpanels)
3 laptops, and a bunch elsewhere
2 printers
Fridge
Speakers on the wall for great stereo sound, plus 4 desktop sets of digital speakers
Polycom speakerphone, Siemens 2.4GHz cordless phones
Two Logitech MX700 mice, one a gift by an amazing benefactor
OC3 connection to the Internet, plus a ORiNOCO AP-1000 access point
Most every single Microsoft product known to man
38 posters and signs of various sizes
Halogen lamps, controlled by X-10
8 power strips, maxed out (yes, we've tripped the building circuit-breaker and had to call the Facilities folks)
2 bottles of wine (don't ask)
and, last but not least, 6 Pocket PCs, including 2 Pocket PC Phone Editions, 3 iPaqs, and 1 Toshiba e740 Top that. ;) Unfortunately, not everything can be included in two photographs.

Anyone want to guess which desk is mine? You might be surprised...

Good lord! Some of you are really taking your lives in your own hands by the way you stack towers and CRTs. If one rack screw should give way, it's all over and you will be crushed do death under your own computing power. The last light you'll see will be at the end of a long dark tunnel (if you believe in that sort of thing, which I don't). :lol:

Or a power LED. ;)

[Rirath]

Since this has went from just "your computer" to the computer's area... here's a few more. :) Where's all the wallscrolls? So far I've only seen one. :wink: There's a set of 3 halogen lights up inside that closet (you can see the glow) for nice DVD watching lighting without glare. The switch is a touch pad in the last pic right beside the scanner.

The TV is compeltely connected both sound and video both ways to the comp of course. The black speakers and the box shown are both controlled from a SB Live card in the comp. (The speakers in the last pic are controlled by an SB Audigy card.)

I think I have to explain some people the concept of stereo. It's about sound that comes from two different directions, giving depth to the sound. There is no need in getting two of everything, and some backups just in case.... ;)

Of course there is! :twisted: I currently have 12 speakers running off my single comp, controlled by 3 soundcards and two receivers. All play audio from any source in the room... TV, comp, game consoles, whatever. I also have another 5 speakers waiting to be hooked up if ever one should fail. (4 satellites, 4 stereo, 2 centers, 2 subs) (plus 2 backup satellites, 2 backup stereo, and a backup center)

And using three soundcards allows the speakers to be split between sources... the Audigy can be playing Winamp while the Live plays a DVD and the 3rd card can play something else on headphones or the spare speaker set. By the way, if anyone knows how to make multiple sound cards play the same source at once, please PM me.

Makes for some realistic games, DVDs, and Dance Dance Revolution sessions.

Since I posted my home setup in Germany earlier, I've decided to post a photo of my college dorm setup. It's pretty boring, but it works. This photo is a few months old (September, October 2002), but it works. Also, the top is my bed--it's lofted above the desk.

thread jacking, I know - but caffiene
how do you like the compaq tablet? I'm doing my best trying to wait for the second gen tablets, I don't think I'm going to make it.

[Foo Fighter]

Both Vaio and iBook are pretty cool. The Vaio is a year old, 1.7 P4, 256 mb RAM (I know, I know....), 80 GB HD.Still need to check the RAM or the moronic XP install that came with it for flaky drivers. Probably time to reinstall from scratch. But I've been planning to do that for a year.... :D

I've always loved the design of SONY desktop PCs but I'm just a bit gun shy of their driver support. For that reason I'm pretty much a Dell guy, although from what I've heard Dell is slipping in that area. And Dell offers some incredible deals on accessories like the 18" LCD I just bought. But who knows, maybe my next system will be Sony. The new tower design is killer! I like it better than the G4 PowerMac. 8O

My system is rather like yours...1.7ghz P4, 768MB RAM (that's what you need my friend) and 60gig HD (7200 RPM). My video card is a generic OEM Nvidia GeForce 2 MX 32MB with no DVI connector (yeah, that's the next item on my shopping list). And, like you, my XP install is WAY past its expiration date. It has the ripe oder of registry rot and orphan file bloat.

It has one problem: when it goes unused, it starts stuttering.

Hmm...my system sometimes makes a clicking sound that comes and goes with the wind. Don't know what it is.

The iBook is amazing. I want the same lamp thingy you're having, so the iBook doesn't get lonely.

I love Apple products. OSX is incredibly innovative, so much that in many ways it makes XP look like leftover oatmeal. But the achilles heal of the whole platform (Apple's dirty little secret) is that the hardware architecture (RISC; PowerPC) just doesn't have the horsepower to run OSX is resolute manner. XP is a 1000x faster, even on my old 1.7gig rig. If Jobs would swallow his pride, and his ego, by migrating to Wintel hardware, OSX would kick some serious arse (for you British lot). The G4 iMac is great, but I really think I would be better off with an iBook like you. I don't use it that much except for when I'm in a Mac mood.

[Foo Fighter]

I'll say one thing...if nothing else, this thread has excellent entertainment value! From now on we will no longer think of each other as an anonymous nickname.

http://www.rex-fetch.com/images/mess.jpg


That is my new baby...the Dell 1800FP (OEM Samsung 182T) which has replaced my old piece of crap Sony G400. Picture quality is INCREDIBLE, and it is AWESOME for gaming (no ghosting, or pixel jitter)...and that's in ANALOG mode. I just need to upgrade my OEM video card to either an ATI 9500 or NVidia Ti 4200/440 (can't decide which).


I have the same LCD Monitor, I will NEVER go back to CRT's. The pictures are just amazing viewing it from this LCD.

Buhahaha.. I thought I was bad. :D

[Jhokur2k]

Buhahaha.. I thought I was bad. :D

Considering in a 10'x11' room I have my desk, entertainment center, bed, a moveable metal rack, and a storage rack, things have to go somewhere :P Especially with a 22" and a 17" monitor taking up 90% of the desk! :D

[Foo Fighter]

I have the same LCD Monitor, I will NEVER go back to CRT's. The pictures are just amazing viewing it from this LCD.

Amen to that. I held off on switching to LCDs due certain gaming and fast motion video issues which are inherent in LCDs. But even in ANALOG mode this LCD has proven to be worth its weight in gold. Best of all, unlike CRTs, LCDs don't suffer Geometry distortions which drove me CRAZY on every CRT I've owned!

Like you, I will NEVER go back to a CRT. I only wish I had made the switch sooner.

Man I wish I had my 1200's and numark mixer. I miss those days.

I get so busy sometimes that I neglect them, so when I turn them on I try to keep them spinning for a full cd. Problem is I do my best work when I'm not recording :? so now I start the recorder before I do anythig and that way I forget it's on and I get a nice mix :)

I saw that pic, nice setup yourself, I use Logic Audio for most of my recording and mixing. Sometimes I'll use Vegas Video to polish it up before it goes to cd, or if i'm adding video. I also have Cakewalk 9 but I don't use it much, I'm going to upgrade to Sonar before my update discount fades away. Oh yeah I love my Mackie, I'm thinking of getting a bigger one so i have more mic pre's.

Size: I like the smaller of the two

battery M vs L series... which I already have a bunch M for PC120BT and GVD1000,


Bluetooth ... who doesnt like the bluetooth

pop up flash on 950 for quick handy pics.

[Dave Beauvais]

First off, you should all know that I am a very anal-retentive person by nature. Not to the point that everything must be in exactly the "correct" spot, but I must have things neat and tidy.

I'm staying with a friend and his wife for about three months (actually, there's only about one more month to go) and have set up a work space in their basement next to all of his computing equipment. I will do him the courtesy of not showing photos of his desks. My setup at home is a bit more elaborate, but as I am not home now, I can't show you that.

In the first photo, you will notice that I've gone to great lengths to hide cables and wires from view and to get them off the floor under the desk. I hate my feet bumping into power strips and getting tangled up in cords, so they are all meticulosuly attached to the back of the desk with Velcro straps, and come down to the UPS on the floor to the right of the desk in a single, neat bundle. :) The lone wire on the floor under the desk goes to a telephone mounted on the wall on the other end of the basement. (Grrr...) ;)

http://www.beauvais1.com/images/desk_front_view.jpg

Yes, the desk is pretty much always like that; I didn't ask the cleaning fairy to make a house call prior to the photo. The notebook is a Dell Latitude L400. The Pocket PC is, of course, an HP iPAQ h5455. The right speaker is sitting on top of the notebook's external DVD ROM/CD-RW drive. The receiver for the cordless mouse is mounted on the inside of the right desk leg. (It's the blue thing that you can just barely see -- the upper-right corner of the mouse pad is "pointing" at it in the photo.) All printing is done to network printers elsewhere in the basement.

To the right of the desk, you can see my friend's Win2K Server (the full tower) and his video capture/DVD recording box (the little Gateway machine). The VCR on my desk is attached to the video machine because he is currently converting several tapes to DVD. His main workstation is not visible in this photo. (Hell, it's barely visible in real life under all the crap.) ;)

http://www.beauvais1.com/images/desk_side_view.jpg

This image is just a closer view of the desk from a different angle. Tucked away behind the LCD is a spindle of CD-Rs. Easy to reach, but out of sight. :)

Dave, you win the "cleanest desk" award. I only reach that level about 4-5 times a year. I like to keep my desk clean, but I'm usually too busy to keep it that clean. Most impressive -- I applaud the neatness, and the prominence of your iPaq. :)

Here's the new computer desk I just put in my bedroom this week. Much more effecient design for a computer than some executive desk built in the 50's.

YES! That makes THREE people with the Wal-Mart desk! Booyah folks! :way to go: :lol:

Here's my 'webkitchen' after a 2 hour clean up...

Behind me (sorry don't have a pic of that) is my laptop (Fujitsu Siemens 2ghz) and some musicgear (mainly Roland stuff)

The 2 pc's are identical to eachother. 2 ghz, 1gig ram, 120gig hd internal, 1 120gig firewire hd...

[Foo Fighter]

Hey Foo Fighter, I really like that desk you have in your picture. What furniture company is that by?

It's made by a company called Fornier (which I believe is no longer in business). I purchased it from Office Depot about 5 years ago. This thing is built like a tank (which is a quality I was looking for), the desktop is twice the normal thickness of a typical laminate desktop (you can drive a car on it and won't bend or buckle) and each end is supported by quad hallow steel pipes with shelves in between for my printer, scanner, and subwoofer. Needless to say, it serves its task extremely well.

[Foo Fighter]

Jesus, db! I'll bet half the electricity in your town flows through those power stips. :lol:

[Ekkie Tepsupornchai]

Yeah, DrtyBlvd... that's some serious voltage going under the desk!!!

What a great thread!! I can't wait to fly back home (US from Germany) in a couple days and take a shot of my room.

Of course by then, this may get steered off topic right into the hall of shame!! :wink:

[Foo Fighter]

Hey, GSibble...is that one of my themes on your iPaq? I seem to remember making one very much like it.

[GSibble]

Hey, GSibble...is that one of my themes on your iPaq? I seem to remember making one very much like it.

I honestly couldn't tell you. I got it off pocketpcthemes.com and the author is someone named AfroCreame. You can go to this link to check it out:

http://www.pocketpcthemes.com/preview.asp?ID=3882

About the theme: I hate MACs, but I love OSX. It runs rock solid and is so expandable since its built on a UNIX shell. Moreover, I just love the look of it. I have my IPaq running that pretty apple theme, and then Wisbar with a OSX theme that I created myself. You can get it from here

http://www.pelmarinc.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?s=3e5644af06b05b2b;act=ST;f=5;t=416

Honestly, I have people compliment me on the theme/wisbar combination all the time. I also have an OSX theme on my XP machine so they all match. Its pretty cute.

On another note, how come no one has asked me about my speakers??? They are the biggest ones so far in this thread and the SACD player I run off them makes the music sooooo incredible. They are the coolest things I own!!! Oh well, I guess no one here is an audiophile.... :(

[Foo Fighter]

I honestly couldn't tell you. I got it off pocketpcthemes.com and the author is someone named AfroCreame.

Yep, I made one identical to this on Pocketthemes.

About the theme: I hate MACs, but I love OSX. It runs rock solid and is so expandable since its built on a UNIX shell. Moreover, I just love the look of it.

OSX is incredible, but Macs are sorely underpowered. My 700mhz G4 iMac is, at times, almost as slow as my old vintage PII 350. And the 1ghz PowerMac we have at work is a dog. My stomach turns every time I hear a Mac evangelist clamor on about the "Megahertz myth" and how Macs are actually faster than PCs. :pukeface:

By the way, you do know there is an excellent freeware app that creates the OSX Dock in XP, don't you? I use on my XP box and it runs incredibly well, and works EXACTLY like OSX's dock. :)

On another note, how come no one has asked me about my speakers??? They are the biggest ones so far in this thread and the SACD player I run off them makes the music sooooo incredible. They are the coolest things I own!!! Oh well, I guess no one here is an audiophile.... :(

Yes, I am somewhat of a PC audiophile myself. You're speakers kick some serious chin. One of the speaker system I've been drooling over are these cool looking satellites: http://www.harman-multimedia.com/shop_detail.html?cart=HK1_104584116849988&sku=CREATURE&id1=2

Unfortunately, I don't believe they offer true thumping power I crave. It's that whole Style over Substance thing, which is a shame because they look really cool. :cry:

[GSibble]

Foo,
Those satellites look crazy!! But I would agree, that they probably don't perform as good as they look. If I wanted some small speakers....well, I never want small speakers so I couldn't tell you what I wanted :)

Where can I get that dock!?!?!?! I want it sooo badly!!! That would be so ill! In any case, thanks for the theme!!! It looks great.

[bdeli]

Where can I get that dock!?!?!?! I want it sooo badly!!! That would be so ill! In any case, thanks for the theme!!! It looks great.

There was a similar topic over a Brighthand, so I've got a pic of my room that I just took (no tidy-up :oops: ) and a close-up of the main kit from earlier in the month (I'll come clean now - I'm a Tungsten user, but I enjoy keeping an eye on what's happening in PPC world too!).

BTW - I've been impressed by the number of you that have dual-monitor setups - definitely something I'll need to think about getting soon (2xTFTs looks like the way to go!).

And here's round the back - just a few cables ;-) The boxes are (top to bottom) my digital terrestrial TV box (ex-ONdigital - Philips DTX6370), very old 2nd hand VCR (just for compatability), and my TiVo - all connects into the PC for viewing through the video in on my ATi card. The main telly is through in the living room and the pictures get piped through there too (I can also use video out on the card to send DVDs, etc. through to the telly).

Ok so here is where I spend WAY TOO MUCH TIME!!!
http://www.lonesniper.com/pocketpcthoughts01.jpg
This is my home built AMD 1800+, 608mb with 80Gb HD main desktop with a 19" monitor, running XP-Pro. Also my old P166, 64mb with 2Gb HD which has Mandrake 9.0 at the moment, but sometimes has good old BeOS on it.
Also my pride and joy, the Sony SR77 laptop and my JVC digital camcorder. Hiding in shame in the corner is my old Orange visor. I am waiting to upgrade to a PPC or a PalmOS5 device. Also this is all connected to my Netgear hub, which goes though the loft into my fathers study where another hub and the internet router connect my mothers PC and all of us to our 600K internet connection.
http://www.lonesniper.com/pocketpcthoughts02.jpg
The big slack of black boxes, is my CD player, Amp and old VCR. This is all connected to my PC with cables under the floor boards so I get great sound with the huge speakers by my desk, great for watching all those Divx movies, and also TV on my PC.
All the CD's are redundant now as I burn them all to MP3 and my collection of childhood action figures are just dust magnets. Must find someone to clean them for me, or buy them off me :)

[Kaber]

To paraphrase your signature line....

You can't expect to reach enlightenment without the use of at least three CRT/TFT/[Your choice] monitors

:lol:

(Besides, it saves turning the lights on. You'd have to get up and move to do that.)

[frzamilan]

There have been many questions about dual monitors, so I thought I would take a stab at answering them. If you are a true multi-tasker, then you probably have this setup already. I was little skeptical at first, but when I decided my 17 inch monitor was not cutting it anymore, I decided to go with duals, instead of buying a 22 or 24 inch monitor. So, premise one...it can be more cost effective.

Looking back, I can't even begin to imagine life without them. I know that may sound dramatic, but there is something very great about being able to work/monitor completely different things at the same time without having to readjust pane sizes etc. For instance, I personally use one monitor for the following: In photoshop, I alter an image one one screen while keeping the original on the other, or I also use the same setup for coding on one screen and previewing that code on the other. I know you can just use Alt+Tab to flip between screens...but believe me, life on this side is so much better.

Oh, and since someone previously asked how to configure such a system: there are several ways, but the most commonly used methods are:
1. to buy a video card with dual heads which supports two monitors, or
2. buy an add on PCI video card that will support dual monitors and use your existing AGP as your primary card. This latter method is much cheaper than buying a card with dual heads, but if you buy a PCI card that is comparably much lower in quality (compared to your AGP) then you will suffer from great images on one monitor with crappy images on the other.
