Show us your computer room!

does it actually run cooler than the one with case?

 

Hmmm honestly I really doubt that case or not, shouldn't make a difference.
This router is powered by an old AMD K6-2 500mhz which barely heat.

By not having a case, it have some advantages such a rapid swapping of hdd , easily changing the NIC without any tools (useful when i want to change my static Internet IP)...
No fans (except cpu and psu), natural convection is more than enough for this type of system.

I use no case when i know it is used in a safe place where no one is passing near or no object could fall and strike on the motherboard (could be a fire hazard).

I always do system tests when building a PC, without any case first it's very frustrating when something went wrong with the motherboard for X reason and having to put everything out of the pc tower to have access to the motherboard

Anyway i hope i have answered your question

PS: Don't do that unless it's hidden , you know it's kinda ugly looking pc lol... mine is well hidden above your head you have to climb a small 3-step ladder to see the system

Have a nice day!

 

Wow. Looks nice, both of you. :smile:

had to shrink image alottt :-/

 

Sweet setup and computers, jl1989!

 

haha @ your laptop stand I like!

 

The double Alienware is a great setup.

 

Here is my quad monitor laptop setup. It is a row of triple monitors with the laptop LCD as the 4th below them. I could add a 4th identical LCD but see no need as I want to utilize the laptop's display. If it looks familiar, it is because I posted earlier with just two monitors on top. The only change is an Ergotron LX triple display stand (which incidentally at $200 shipped was the most expensive item other than the laptop itself) and another identical LCD monitor.

I'm running Vista Ultimate x64, Aero works perfectly, and the laptop can hot undock/dock from the expansion station without problems - I absolutely love this setup.

 

Dude, sweeet......

 

Actually, yes. very.

 

I'd love to use it with Microsoft Flight Simulator an IL-2, coupled with
Track IR

 

Just got the monitor today!

 

wowowowow. I just finished this thread. took me two days. wow. I would take a pic of my computer area since it is looking awesome right now... but.. the rest of my room is not... gimme a day... I will have the HTPC up again, the DiNovo, Zune, Barracuda... I feel my single monitor setup is lackingish lol.

Then Again, I frequently have two or three computers hooked up to this baby...

Great thread guys, there are some nice setups out there. I'm gonna rar these images: i was looking for organization ideas and found a few.

Here are my pics of the before (organizing my space right now, the HTPC is out of commission; I will post pics take tomorrow. I apologize for not turning the flash on)

The HTPC (+lava lamp)

The TV (BOW!)

The CPU Area ness (plus a TV that is older than I am and has been hit by lightning)

Is that a little awkward having the keyboard to the left of the monitor?

 

nice set top pc.

 

Is that a Dell 1907fp?

 

mine is kinda like that too...its not too bad.

 

By the way, if any of you buy those IKEA tracklights (the mini ones), don't touch them or put them close to anything flammable, they get very VERY hot.

 

no it's a 1708fp

 

Wow, that is an awesome set up. I think I will post some pics as soon as I move back in to my place.

 

Alright, here it is in all of its glory.


My Big F'n Gun

Nice setup, I have the logitech Z5500 too ^_^

I like your BFG sticker

Is that tablet running Ubuntu?

K-TRON

 

K-Tron ,do you like the part that no one can look at your notebook and say "Oh,i ve Voodoo too" ?

 

@KTron: No, its Vista with DesktopCube. great great great piece of software there. The z-5500's are the shiznit. I can hear them down the street.

 

do you have a link for desktopcube???

 

here it is

http://www.cubedesktop.com/

I miffed the name. Doesn't matter... they should be paying me for all the referrals. but on a serious note - this is the best productivity software since the GUI was invented.

 

those people having more than one laptops wil u please give me one cos i dont have hehehehe!

Messy, unorganized, but works for me. =]

A little big, didn't want to embed it.

 

Wow. That's pretty slick.

A little messy, and you really shouldn't use the default XP Luna theme, but nice. :smile:

 

nice setup Kaiserphoenix!how much did you paid for it?pm me...

 

Ok quick rant after browsing this forum, how is it so many people have so much money into monitors laptops desktops random other gadgets, but never got around to getting a nice desk. coffee tables, kitchen tables, countertops, work benches, i think ive seen it all now nice set ups every one

 

Ah, well that comp is XP, and I only use it for one thing: Counter Strike. haha.

So is there a downfall to using that theme, or does it just looks ugly? xD

 

It just looks HIDEOUS.

 

Not really, I just have to look 2 degree to my right which is almost insignificant. I didnt want to centre my pc on my desk because I want to save some space for writing/eat/whatever I need to do on the desk.

 

dorm room?

 

gettin ready to update... any suggestions?


b4 the water..

after...

 

Loose the blue Luna theme. Just a simple switch to the silver theme, or installing the Royale Noir theme would make such a difference...

 

its not finished yet but it is home away from home!

Quite nice, but I hope that isn't the default blue Luna theme I see.

 

thanks. blue luna ? you mean the blue fans every where ?

i have various shades of blue metallic/pearl paint samples as i want to paint the wall behind the monitor that color then mount some blue cathode tubes behind it to shine on the wall. haha yeah it's crazy i know but what the hell you only go around once right and if it doesn't look good then i can always change it.

i just looked at your pixelot photo and i think i read the book that photo is from !! nice

 

What's with your hate of blue Luna? Did you ever think someone else may have a different preference than yours?

 

Sure they could. I'm just giving my opinion, which is widely shared among Desktop Critics.

 

I understand you are giving your opinion, but once is more than enough for us to understand you don't like Luna.

 

I was talking to three different people, giving them separate comments.

Hey, gorbs! You should check out the Royale theme (available here). I think it might look good with your plans.

 

Damn gorbs, where did you get all of those component badges

Thats a nice system you have there.
What kind of motorcycle is that in your avatar?
