Show us your computer room 2!

Ya you can tell i need IS on my handheld haha

Now if I had my dads EOS 1ds Mark II I could take some pictures! (guess I would just use the 16-35mm wide angle lense)

 

My Sidewinder, cooling pad and Saitek were given to me by my english teacher. Everything else except for the 1 TB HD are stuff my dad stopped using.

 

I need to meet your friends! haha

I pay for all my own toys

 

xDD, when you have no way of getting money, you make due with what you can get.

 

Which is why I have not tried to obtain the 4870's for my M17x yet haha, no job this semester. Is also why i have not tried to sell my GTX 275 SLI from my desktop for 2x 5870's yet (they are so cheap I cannot believe it!)

 

I would be very satisfied with your m17x scook haha

 

That is true, you have a m17x! xD

 

I am satisfied, does not mean I can't be tempted by the newest and shiniest!

 

That is true, I'm pretty jealous of the m17x and I'm pretty sure I would have bought it if I had the money, xD.

 

Well I had an OCZ whitebook, same as the M17, and sold it to buy this. Having an income during the summer is dangerous haha

all that money just going into the bank.....summers are good for my toys

 

Mine, nothing fancy

And what could lead to WW3

 

I disagree, that is fancy

Nice setup!

 

Yeah, I think that is a great setup too. At the very least, it is way better than my s**ky setup.

pham1295, I like your white PS3. Man, I just wished my fat PS3 is white instead of black.

 

I am tempted to try rotating my 2 monitors and linking them together into one big virtual monitor, but that bezzle down the middle is keeping me from it - guess I will HAVE to get a 3rd monitor...lol (jk)

I am considering a good monitor stand though that can take 2x 24" monitors well. Any recommendations?

 

Nice setup. How many I/O's do you use for the Big Knob? Any deal-killers? I dumped an Audient Centro a while back for being way too overkill for my uses and have started again. I was looking at the Big Knob as potentially my basic problem solver for monitoring multiple PC's. I don't produce music professionally but I would like convenience in being able to route my PC's to a monitor or headphones.

 

Crappy phone pic. My room covered in paper ......


FYI, the desk is covered with post-it notes just below the keyboard, it's not dirt or anything stupid. My 8510p is also under the paper. Maybe I should tidy my desk before I take one of these pics next time.

 

Johnny T, I can see that you're working very hard. That's usually a very good thing.

 

Heh, thanks. Had AutoCAD up the the big screen, peeking at NBR (auto reload) occasionally on the right.

 

i LOVE your set up, and i love what you did to the consoles, did you mod them yourself or did you pay for it? i have that same clock btw.

 

I agree with everyone else, very nice setup

 

Nice Pham!

Figured I might as well post up my college dorm now.

The first four pictures show my setup:
I've got an original ASUS G2S-A1, Logitech MX518 mouse, HP C3180 printer, and the rest is there for you to see.

The last one is...my roommate's side of the room.

By December, I hope to get a 37" TV in here and the special edition CODMW2 XBOX360.

 

Wow, I'm jealous your desk has shelves. At least I have no roomate!

 

just a bun of black decals on the white ps3. As for the xbox360, my bf cut the windows and installed the core fan for it (we messed up the original case in the first try , got the new case from Ebay)

U are too kind to rank me a moder.

 

Hello all, I'm new to these forums. I've been scanning through both threads and love quite a bit of what I seen.

First off, I seen in one of the pics (long time ago) that someone was using a Northgate 102 keyboard. I used to have one of those (bought it at a garage sale cheap) and later found out that people pay more than $100.00 on eBay for it. I'd rather have the cash than the keyboard, so I sold it to someone who needed it more than I did. It sounds like that people are a fan of those because they're virtually indistructable, probably much like the old IBM ones are (mechanical).

I haven't got time right now to post my desks (yes, desks) here at home right now, but since finding this thread, at work today I snapped some pictures. (Cellphone camera, but it'll do). I've got some old ones to compare with for some of the pictures. When I get the time to clean my desks a little, I'll gather some pictures to show off on here.

As with the amount of computers I own, I think I take the cake. I guess I have more quantity than the amount of processing power in just one machine. My fastest machine is only a P4 HT 3.0GHz. I'm happy with what I have, for now.

I spend about an hour or so (at least) in the server closet at work per day. Where I work, my job title doesn't describe me as a tech full-time, but in my spare time from my full-time work I do computer maintenance. I don't technically have a desk with a computer to sit at, so I sit in the sort-of uncomfortable server closet to do my work. Be it website work, computer repairs, Word/Excel stuff, etc.

If this room were up to me, a lot would be changed. I would invest in some sort of a rack setup so that this would all fit together better. I don't agree with the one rackmount server sitting on that huge angle. When I started working there, the other tech guy (I'm kinda the secondary tech guy) told me that the server kept blowing out hard drives. I was like "and you wonder why". It's still like that to this day.

I'm trying to fix things with their network switches / patch panel so it's better to work with. I've helped tie up some of the cables so there's not so much slack going onto the floor, and I've only started the other week (again, on my spare time) to start finding out where each cable goes. Eventually, I want to use the Comcast cable ties with writeable surfaces instead of masking tape. I've got about 1/2 of the wires figured out.

Onto the pics:


2 old beige Dells in back...retired systems that still work. Laptop on top of them...co-worker's laptop I'm doing maintenace on. Silver/black case to the slight right of that...their 16-channel DVR for their cameras. Laptop in the center...my own personal machine (since I don't have a computer desk with a computer there). Beige desktop machine beneath LCD...their voicemail (which is an antique 486 with special software).


Very bottom shelf, it's holding their slanted rack-mounted server (a big no-no), a tower server, and a hard drive unit. I believe the big white box mounted to the wall (next to the tower server) is their modem for their internet. Oh, and that's my chair, that uncomfortable stool thing.


3 battery backups...the big black boxes on the wall is for their networked telephone system...Amp on the top (very high) is for their P/A system. On the slim shelf, in the back, they got an iPrism (web filter), Sonicwall firewall, 4-port KVM switch, some little box for on-hold for their phones, and another small little box for their P/A system.


A couple of their network switches and patch panel. (Complete mess of wires). Showing the 3 stages of when I took pictures since I started working there (this is not all in one day, this is over the course of several months, such as you can tell the CRT we had in there is long gone [died on us] and an LCD took its' place). First, a huge mess. Second, I wrapped up some of the slack so it's not all over the floor. Third, I'm starting on finding out where each goes. (You can probably tell which stage is which just by the pictures). Most of the network requires access almost all the time (a lot of data entry over the network to the servers in there) so it's hard to unplug and plug in to sort this out during the day. I'm not an expert with networking, but what I'm doing is just a lot of common sense.

Sorry for writing so much. I probably wouldn't quote this if I were you, it's very long.

Again, I'll eventually get my personal stuff up on here.

- Mike.

 

By the way, pham1295, where did you buy the white PS3?

 

I took it with me from Japan, 2 years ago.
Ive seen some white ps3 on ebay. Almost of them are from China or HongKong throught. My friend got one, it comes with realy weird power connector.

 

MSBKID, WOW. That's a post made with love, hahaha.

 

Yeah they are pretty well priced in Hong Kong, a and if it was shipped from there, you will most likely have got one with an UK plug.

 

Hey where did you get those Buddha posters, its very inspiring. I took Buddhism a couple of semester ago...

 

Shot of my computers in my dorm room. 3 in there. Lots of toys. Sorry about the horrible angle.

 

That is a very nice room!! Mine is boring and has a solid metal door with a high ceiling, it is like an asylum.

 

I got them at a poster sale down by the Towers on lower campus (another dorm on Pitt's campus. I live in Sutherland, upper campus, if anyone here is from Pitt haha) I'm actually a Buddhist myself, so those come naturally to me.

 

@ CalebSchmerge

nice man, hopefully in 2 yrs when i go to college i can have a setup like that.

but anyways, i notice you got the z cinema speakers, im interested in them i was wondering what do you think of them?

 

My pics I gave a few pages back were all in my dorm as well (this the bad angle on my desk lol - small room and not wide angle)

 

Don't buy them. They aren't worth the hassle of the USB, and they aren't as nice as other Logitechs when used via the mini connector.

 

Well I reconfigured my work setup due to not having enough room on my main desk. Wish I could post my home setup, but its non-existent yet again. Sorry about the image quality and failure panoramic, but I am not a photographer and all I have is my treo.

 

The lava lamp in the middle would rive me nuts and the fan as well.

 

The fan has to be there, but yeah the lava lamp is only there because there is no other place for it atm. I may just get rid of it all together.

 

Here's my new dorm setup

HP Desktop 6980, Dell Latitude E6400, Samsung Syncmaster 204b, and HP TC4200.

Picked up the Syncmaster for free at a garage sale

 

nice on the screen!

 

@commander

that is alot of water near the computers.

 

I didn't notice it last time you post it else where but two alarm clocks?

 

wait so i can choose this or the Logitech Z2300. why are teh Z Cinema bad? they look awesome. match my desk really nicely + my laptop. What is the hassle of USB and what do you mean by mini connector? the 3.5mm jack or that lil dongle with volume that comes with Z2300?

thxs for reply, it will help me choose the rite speakers.

 

What's that you say? Water and electronics don't go well together!? What a concept

Lol, I only use the spring-powered one when I have something really important to do. It's just about the most obnoxious alarm clock I could find - short of something that flies or makes you solve a puzzle.

 

[/QUOTE]Lol, I only use the spring-powered one when I have something really important to do. It's just about the most obnoxious alarm clock I could find - short of something that flies or makes you solve a puzzle.[/QUOTE]


lol my alarm clock used to fly and it did make me get up till the batteries wore down now it can lift off the table. i cant be bothered to change the battereies as it means i dont have to get out of bed hahaha!

 

Im using 3 inputs and 2 sets of speaker outputs, I like it, only issue is the paint on the knob peels off, so I stripped it and brushed the aluminum

I used Steinberg Nuendo, but Id start off with Cubase on PC if I were you, or Reason or Fruity Loops are cool writing tools

 

im starting to hate it.

 

a little spartan haha

but we all started somewhere

 

Agreed. Some of us dont even have setups at home. When I go home I have a lap board I use in my recliner .

 

See thats what I need, I should have bought on of those Japanese ones where you have a laser gun and a target to shoot at. :laugh:

I better tidy my desk this weekend and get a better pic.
