    It reminds me of how I used to work and play (at home and away) with my vostro. All I needed to pack with that laptop was the power cord and a mouse and thats it. Really miss that type of setup compared to now where I need to use external monitors at work and I have to use an external num pad. :(

    I've always been a fan of having a simple work space. Trying to go that route now. Although getting a external monitor will kind of make that hard... plus the external HDD's, plus the mouse, plus the other things... Simple fail.

    I just built a new desktop after not having one for almost 2 years. Then I bought an Asus G51VX-X3A, then my grandfather found out from my father that my Dell Vostro 1700 I had been using was stolen, which it was, and bought me an HP G60-549DX. So, I've been figuring out to do with all 3 computers. I feel like I'm in the stone age with this big 4:3 monitor! Brightness sucks.

    I know this is a little off-topic and for that I apologise but I was wondering whether there's a similar thread on here for desktop/screendumps.

    I can't seem to find one by searching but I can't really imagine a place like this wouldn't have such a thread.

    I was aware of the gallery but since I have all my screenshots uploaded elsewhere already, it seemed somewhat superfluous to re-up them on here.


    Thanks for the links, now I feel like a tool for not finding them myself...

    Lol yeah Im not a photographer and it was taken on my cell phone. You should have seen the first pic I took. As for my desk its about 6-7ft long L shaped with the other part of the L being ~4ft. This is my work setup, my home setup is the same just without the server and half the desk space.

    Here's my room. I use the dell (wall mounted) mainly for television because its not suitable for my design/photoshop need (its a TN panel that everyones seems to dislike). Enjoy.

    I really prefer CRT's compared to LCDs. Better color and no resolution problems with my old Graphics Processor (its ATI's first ever Radeon DDR). The LCD and one of the CRTs was a gift. I dont play games but I do use Solidworks and Photoshop so its good enough for me.

    Solidworks? Do you work at a company that bought that for it's employees, or did you buy that yourself?

    Solidworks costs A LOT of money.

    Play or work? Who says its not both? I might play a game on mine for a bit, then exit that and fire up some photo programs to work. The gap between gaming computers and the rest of "work" computers seems to be shrinking.
