    I've built 2 new rigs recently. I got the core 2 quad for free as well as the antec 900 but that case is going in the garbage...it's terrible. I made a fan duct for the G34 which is seriously awesome.

    core 2 quad:

    I lost interest in antec when the aria was one of the sff cases that was popular. I read the reviews and even tried it and never went back to antec cases. Either way some nice setups and maybe if my wife fnds my camera ill snap some of my new home and work setups.

    I hate all the cables on my desk.
    I am finding a way to get rid all of them by building my home made test bench table but it is crappy and weak.
    Have you ever came across any other test bench case? I need a test bench case that can hold 4 hdds & corsair H50 and less than $100.

    You could always just sit everything on your desk....does not have to be a test bench case....I used a desktop for 2 months like this while I was testing it lol

    I will always recommend danger den cases, but the torture rack is $50 more then your budget and only has 3 * 3.5in spots. The cooling, quality and looks of those cases is second to none. I have zero need for a desktop but I have been thinking about a budget desktop just to have my DD airbox glowing on my desk again.

    Here's my current battlestation. The large display in the center and the one on the left are hooked up to my desktop computer, and the one to the right is connected to my netbook, which is on top of the desktop's case. Also pictured are my Belkin N52TE keypad, generic Dell keyboard, Razer Carcharias headset, Razer Mamba and eXactMat, and the Mamba charging dock.

    Also, pirate lamps :)

    So, this is time for me to update my set-up!
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG] Click to enlarge!
    On these pictures you can see my new LG Flatron monitor, along with my main accessories, Logitech G15 keyboard, razer deathadder gaming mouse and Altec Lansing 2.1 stereo system.
    I have a 500g 2.5" external HDD running through my e-sata port and a whole terabyte 3.5" external HDD I use for backups and media I dont ever use :p
    I also posted a picture of my TV (my pride :p) Its a 47" LG HDTV (LD520), 1080p and 120Hz enabled!
    Below the tv you can see my two PS3s, one of them has a broken Blu-ray player so I have installed a 250GB HDD and I have all my media on it (Essentially my 1080p movies).
    [​IMG]
    Next upgrade: A decent surround system, I currently use an old 5.1 sound system for PC from cyber acoustic :(.

    [​IMG]
    And finally there is also a picture of my workplace, just beside my computer where I do all my homeworks, I also use my old Inspiron 1501 from times to time.
    So that's basically my set-up, trust me I spent at least an hour cleaning before taking the picture. My computer desk gets so messy it's no even funny!

    I've had my Christmas lights up for almost two years as well. I've recently taken them down though so I could reposition them.

    Ok I was postponing to take a picture because I wanted to clean my desk. Well...that didn't happen so here's an honoust picture of what my pc room looks like while typing a paper on tobacco:

    http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/1927/mydeskl.jpg

    Oh and if you thought that was bad, here's a different angle:

    http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/7503/mydesk2.jpg

    @ war I didn't find a way to put it ina forumcode (the only list I could find was: Direct Link, Short Link, Web player, Embed player)

    Maybe when this semester is over i'll clean up my desk and make a 'nice' picture of a constructed reality :p

    edit: btw every book you see is about history :p

    It gets worse the closer I get to my exams xD Then once every half a year I clean up and my desk looks awesome for ... 5 minutes :p

    Every morning I have to move my book/paper piles to the left and right just to be able to type on my keyboard.

    Shhh. Quiet you. :p

    I would say so. If I remember correctly from when I repasted mine, there is actually a rather large gap in between the fan and the bottom of the chassis, and if you got the right voltage lights, there wouldn't be much risk of power failure or anything.

    Finally a fellow genious like me xD (you know the saying: talented people are lazy).
    The fact that most super smart people usually don't pay any attention to the surrounding reality is kind of a good excuse (eventhough my grades are awfull because all I do is watch series and game).

    say what? talented ppl are lazy? what kind of lazy fart came up with such a stupid saying? lol

    i don't know very many successful ppl that are that dirty, or anywhere near that level of laziness. a lazy, talented person is called a waste of talent. get yur mind correct, youngster.

    Can you please resize your image. It is far too big, and against Forum Rules. (You can also refer to the first post of the thread)
