I don't think you guys want to see my office/pad, its nothing special, in fact its pretty untidy...

P.S. How the f*** can you work on those desks with all of those bloody toy dolls on them?!

eh scuzzy uve got the same kb background i do

dont have any pics but ive got 2 nice philips 107p brilliance monitors on a dual setup using a winfast a6600gt

plus to the left of that my new lappy

nothing on walls cause theyre getting painted soon
hello sky blue, goodbye hideous yellow

JigZie man im about to buy a bed and was looking for the bottom part (onsumble?) thats just like yours... any chance you know what make/model it is?

Fark Tanaka thats alot of DVD's!

Ive really cut down on my DVD's. I only keep the ones I watch regularly otherwise they just sit there... depreciating.

Probably no worse than PC's and video cards I guess.

Tanaka, your room screams geek ok.

i predict tanaka replying in defence with 'dont bitch coz i can afford it and you cant' - ive seen it happen in another thread

yeah im pretty jelous of his setup (neatness mainly, its my downfall), but i see what, 2 pcs + a lappy in one room? thats the same as in my room (after i moved afew down stairs), but coz i dont have lcd monitors and a neat setup, it wouldnt scream geek as much would it...

then there is the 6 pcs down stairs, and the other 1 upstairs + a multimedia and camera security dedicated box in the lounge and an xbox which could also be considered as a pc

f***s me mate. I could look around for the modle and s*** but meh , i baught it from IKEA and its a great bed :) was really really cheep too :)

yeah im pretty jelous of his setup (neatness mainly, its my downfall),

agreed. i tried lanning with a round desk once, it was horrible.


also nat, that is an awsomly angled photo, looks so neat and nice.

those speakers next to the monitor aint a good idea nat.

its an lcd screen though, wouldnt imagine that the magnets would effect them.. would they?

oh i thought it was a crt - my mistake.

That little tv there is just to play my playstation.Its also hooked up to a DVD/TV combo unit i have for when i wanna do some recording.And to answer a previous comment,i have 3 pc's and a lap top set up on that desk.

I wish I had Mac OS X! :P

speaking of macs, i came across This in the morning.

PearPC - PPC emulator for windows, which means, yes, you can emulate mac os's with it.

A guide to using it, and screen shots of it in action can be found here.

http://www.windowsdevcenter.com/windows/2005/01/18/graphics/figure007.gif


http://www.windowsdevcenter.com/windows/2005/01/18/graphics/figure010.gif

PearPC still has a long to go to even be remotely useful as it's about 50 times (seriously) slower than the real OS X. It's still early days yet but it's awesome effort to emulate RISC (powerpc) on boring old CISC platform :)

I wonder how many people have manipulated objects in their pics, for reasons knownst only to themselves perhaps. ie put some things in frame, remove some things from frame, etc.

GIRI!! I want that FMP Boxset!

fmp f***ing rulz, and right next to it the kenshin ova, and then the kenshin tv series !

i didn't manipulate mine at all, well, i removed a pair of undies off of the top of the xbox.

I wonder how many people have manipulated objects in their pics, for reasons knownst only to themselves perhaps. ie put some things in frame, remove some things from frame, etc.

probably everyone. Just like the post your desktop threads. Surely not everyone has winamp tucked away neatly in the corner of the screen with irc in a neat little window that just happens to allow you to also see their extensive collection of (most likely) illegal mp3's

my desk is a mess, there's an empty bottle of jim beam next to the monitor, a full one on the edge of the desk, packets of chips (kettle/doritos) to snack on late at night and various other things laying on the desk and a bunch of commodore posters on the wall (lol bogan lol)

Giri how much you want for the box set? :P Where'd you buy it anyway? Is it subbed?

i got it from the anime con thing that was on last year, super nova i think it was called. Actually, i got the kenshin ova, berserk, and fmp all from that con.

it's got both subs and dubs, f*** dubs tho.

ps, they've all got the little madman dude on them, so i assume they're all madman releases.

Tanaka> why don't you get yourself a KVM switch, rather than cluttering up your desk with 2 keyboards and mice, and THEN the lappy + mouse???

I just bought a KVM Switch so I don't have to keep swapping which computer uses the monitor and keyboard.

what are kvm switches worth?

i wouldnt mind one for doing new machine setups

and what's the with the cluster-f***? I just happen to like collecting my transformers, tis all.. it's all fairly neat & stuff :)

There seems to be some writing there.... I'll just send it to CTU so they can enhance it for me.

you've never heard of the australian newspape?

Yes, but spidz has made numerous references to 'the paper' and I have never actually seen him say what 'the paper' is.

i use usb-> ps2 converter and it works fine with ms explorer v3

Hey guys I'm a bit out of the loop pc wise atm (still using 5yr old p3 700mz). So what is a 'shuttle' and what can it do exactly?

^ Lol that 2 dorrah little fan blowing on yor case is a classic pumpkin.

A shuttle is just a smallform pc. You can check out their website at http://www.shuttle.com/

My shuttle just squeezes in a p4, 1gb ddr, 2x 200g hd's, 9800xt, wireless card and dvd burner. YOu won't fit anymore than that in it.

i paid $9 ;p, lets just say i only get $9 of value out of them.. theyre ok for like low volume listening, but they get distorted easily


edit: should also add, the have the worst case of interference problems ive seen..

if you look @ my setup, where the speaker control/sub is, the speakers make a buzzing noise (loud), if i move the volume control box back behind the monitor (and under the tv), they stop buzzing, it gets really annoying

Hey Tanaka, could you please tell me where you got your dvdcase/book case? Looks like it a perfect size.

Also darkjedi how old is that Unicron?

Johnny, I got it from Office works a couple of years agofor like $150,but as you can see,its full.My father is making me 2 custom bookcases which should hold about twice as many dvd's as ive already got.
