you asked for it :)

my workstation (http://www3.telus.net/public/dale_d/images/desk1.jpg)

Shouldn't this be merged into the existing 'Screen shot' thread in the Window/Desktop Manager forum?

The first two posted by speaks_1337 are. :confused:

[Hayl]

fixed

[mdwatts]

Why doesn't someone in the Toronto area drop by with their digital camera so I can take some shots of my 'computer room'? :(

Maybe I'll borrow one from a friend at the office one of these days. I'll wait until Saturday when I get my twin ViewSonic 19" (black) monitors to go with my new Nvidia FX 5600. Then I'll move my 21" over to the other pc to go with the 17" (Radeon VE). :D

That's the sum entirety of the furniture in your house, isn't it Hayl ;) (Mind you, if I could get it past the wife, I'd sell half our furniture to have some shiny kit)

I like that printer Hayl. It must be a LaserJet. Where did you obtain that computer desk. Don't leave your printer too close to that window Hayl. That is a really nice printer Hayl. I know where you live Hayl. Your box is really nice Hayl. I know where you live Hayl.

I do quite well with just one computer..... Though i'm still single... Go figure...

[seabass55]

This was my setup a few months ago when I first moved into this place. Prior to the move things were a little crazier...got rid of a few machines and got an Apex Outlook KVM switch.

Whats the network layout?

[apeekaboo]

Here's my contribution (http://d1o803.telia.com/~u85530143/image/2003_07_05_deskshot.jpg).

The shuttle to the left is my main workstation/gamestation.
I also have a server/gateway and a laptop which is not in the picture... :p

[dkeav]

hey md when you get done with that digital camera send it to illinois lol

[Gertrude]

I think It would be cool to see what other computer stuff people have, and what they us it for. I hope this isn't too off topic. But I'll start..

----------------

This is a DEC Alpha server. It has a 8 bay SCSI tower that currently has 5 SCSI drives in it.. 128 megs of ram and a 64 bit 233Mhz cpu. It runs Debian.

http://www.digitalert.net/morepics/Alpha3.JPG
http://www.digitalert.net/morepics/alpha6.JPG

-------------------

This is my main workstation 1Ghz Athhlon, 386 megs of ram 30 gig HDD. It runs Debian

http://www.digitalert.net/morepics/amdsticker2.JPG

---------------------

This is a wireless antenna I made..

http://www.digitalert.net/morepics/antenna1.JPG

----------------------

This is a Cisco 350 series AP that is sitting on top of a Cisco UBR 924 cable modem

http://www.digitalert.net/morepics/ap-modem2.JPG

------------------------

The white computer is a P166 128 meg of ram, DHCP/syslog server to get logs from my AP and Router. Running Debian.

It is sitting on top of a Bay Network BayStack 303 switch

http://www.digitalert.net/morepics/dellswitch2.JPG

----------------------------

I made the rack that you can see here and in some of the other pics.. Mounted in the top of it is a Master View Plus 8 port KVM switch


Below it to the right is a crappy RCA cable modem, and to the left of that is a Cisco 806 router that acts as my gateway to the internet and does some basic packet filtering..

http://www.digitalert.net/morepics/kvm3.JPG

--------------------------

This is a laptop, that is mainly used for wireless stuff, but at the moment I am having a pain in the a*s getting the Cisco 352 pcmcia card to work on it..

http://www.digitalert.net/morepics/laptop2.JPG

----------------------------

This is a computer I just built that I hardly ever use. It is also my first attempt at a "case mod." I made it to play games. It runs windows 2000, XP2600 , 2X512 Corsair ram, ATI 9700pro

[jailbreaker]

Hey i'm just wondering why you would need soo many computers:confused: :confused: also when was the last time you cleaned your room.:confused: :confused: :confused:

[serz]

Good pics Gertrude.

Btw, nice laptop :D

I don't need them but I like playing around with networks, and setting up and fooling around with servers and you cant really do that with one computer. Its a just a hobby that has grown over the past few years.

[hard candy]

This is my den:
http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/cpac/pictures/images/DSCN00741.jpg

(just kidding, I wish I had a digital camera though).

Gertrude, you kind of intimidated me with my 3 little computers- shoot, I thought I was doing good but it's like sitting at a red light in a fancy Mustang and someone pulls up with in a Lamborghini.
I hope they don't don't run out of Dr. Pepper- you might have withdrawals! :D

[myshkin]

heres me desktop

[myshkin]

shot of my case. soldam windy, p2.4, intel845gbv. ps2 and my sony tv on the right. and abit of my futon. :D

How about a picture of some computer junk right before it was taken away to the scrapyard.


Junk PCs (http://tj1037.blogspot.com/junkpc.jpg)

[Jo.Mo.]

here's my workspace, pretty crappy computer with a pretty awesome stereo, basically it.

[bazoukas]

Gertrude
you are my new hero

[superted]

I wish i had just as clean desk as you myshkin :)

And Gertrude where do you get the money for all that stuff? :p Nice little network for 1 person :)

[jlmb]

Yuk, you drink Dr. Pepper!


:)

[Hayl]

<merged with the other computer equipment pictures thread>

hope you don't mind, Gertrude; I figured it made sense to keep them all together.

[superted]

Hayl you really scared the crap out of me, I just posted and then went back to see if there was any new replies. And suddenly the post was all diffrent. Thought i was gone mad for a little while there :p

[romandas]

Hey, how did you pick up the Alpha server anyway? Did it cost you much? (being nosy) :)

[je_fro]

ok, I had to get a new address for this one....always wanted to be a .commer....

Meet the Debian brothers. Also known as the 192.168.0.1/8 Gang.... (http://jefro.is-a-geek.com/RRweb/files/dsc01931.jpg)

On the right is my XP 2700 Barton box (Abit NF7-S MoBo) I run primarily Gentoo there...On the left are two K-6-II's,
one FreeBSD (ipf) and the other running Slackware (server) (http://jefro.is-a-geek.com/RRweb/files/dsc01933.jpg)

Here's what I take to school every day... (http://jefro.is-a-geek.com/RRweb/files/dsc01935.jpg)


Here's where I answer a lot of JL questions..Sitting at the Viewsonic A95f. (http://jefro.is-a-geek.com/RRweb/files/dsc01921.jpg)

And not to be outdone by Gertrude, here's a custom cabling job I've

assembled behind my computers. (http://jefro.is-a-geek.com/RRweb/files/dsc01928.jpg)

[superted]

nice little thing you take to school every day :p

[fergz]

why do you need so much computers ? a wish a could get a few more and build a nice little web server for ma self

[canon006]

Here's my setup... (http://mywpages.comcast.net/spoonman14/hardware.html)

Laptop, Desktop, crappy scanner, printer, and various peripherals around the desk

[Gertrude]

Gertrude
you are my new hero

Thanks, I try..


And Gertrude where do you get the money for all that stuff? Nice little network for 1 person

I still live with my mom and have a ok job at a large ISP. I should be moving out in a month or so though..



Yuk, you drink Dr. Pepper!

You can go to hell.



hope you don't mind, Gertrude; I figured it made sense to keep them all together.

I dont care. I would have just posted in this if I knew it was here..



Hey, how did you pick up the Alpha server anyway? Did it cost you much? (being nosy)

Ebay. I got it for $50 but shipping was $85 I think.



And not to be outdone by Gertrude, here's a custom cabling job I've assembled behind my computers.

Here is a pic of the mess behind my rack..

AAAAAAARGH! You scare me. I thought my mass of cables was bad. :rolleyes:


/me REALLY wants to try to get his box set up as a webserver workin' with a database backend.

(They're not going to teach it to us here any time soon.)


Old potential Slackware box for the poor? :(

(EDIT - By the way, Gertrude, how much electricity do you use?! I hope you have air conditioning in there... And that you turn them off at night so your poor mum can sleep. :p )

[Gertrude]

(EDIT - By the way, Gertrude, how much electricity do you use?! I hope you have air conditioning in there... And that you turn them off at night so your poor mum can sleep. )



I actually got a air conditioner about 2 weeks ago..

http://www.digitalert.net/morepics/air.jpg

I just need someone to help hold it so it doesnt fall out the window..

The electric bill is around $70 a month.. "My poor mum" doesn't care.

[hard candy]

Did anyone else get the impression we're not No. 1 in the "neatly organized" department?
My trouble is I get the cables all straight for about 2 days and then I have an urge to reconnect or add something into the system and there goes my "cable neatness" award for another few months. But I do have the important stuff right at hand- finding it is the hard part.
This is what mine looks like on a average day:
Messy cables (http://leif.cx/photos/studiopics-feb-24-2002/cable_mess.jpg) (I got the picture off the net)

Tanna, that's my own creation, made it last night actually. If you want it there's a 1024X768 version here (mywpages.comcast.net/spoonman14)
along with a few of my other recent creations.

[jsundquist]

I thought I might get in on this since I have the chance to borrow someones digital camera right now.

This is an image of my main work station (Windows XP :rolleyes: ) and my server ( MDK 9.1)
image 1a (http://209.98.146.249/~jon/images/room/MVC-001S.JPG)
image 1b (http://209.98.146.249/~jon/images/room/MVC-007S.JPG)

Image of my soon to be print server, on top of the desk, and a "bunch" of other computers and one second printer below. There are a total of 6 computers on the ground, and yes all of them could work if I put a harddrive into them.
image 2 (http://209.98.146.249/~jon/images/room/MVC-003S.JPG)

Image of the stereo system that my main pc is hooked up to.

If you want to take a look at something closer let me know. I can take some more images. Also if you want specs on something I can give those out also.

[hard candy]

That big silverthing on top of the stereo, what is that? Is it a suction cup on some glass between you and the stereo or is it some kind of speaker?:confused:

[jsundquist]

this is what is above the stereo

[roamingnomad]

TechCat, you should have networked all those old computers into a GIANT BEOWULF CLUSTER!!!! That would be cool. That's what I'm doing, when one day I have 25 obsolete computers that I paid... too much for :)

[nko]

My corner of the computing world (and a comparatively small corner at that!): http://homepage.mac.com/abracasivity/


Sorry for the gigantic photos. I'm new to the whole Mac thing, and iPhoto's being a pain :mad: . Does anyone know of a simple program for the Mac to adjust the quality (read: disk space usage) of a jpg? And for that matter, a program that makes cropping easier...

[canon006]

nko, Apple's preview app will let you export either to another file format or to a jpg will lower quality settings, just go to export, then select jpg and hit the options button. As for cropping, and/or general image editting you can probably use AppleWorks, but I suggest grabbing a copy of Photoshop Elements 2.0(if you've got an extra $70 hanging around).

[madmonkey]

Here's a few pics of my setup... enjoy ;)

Me? Yes, My house does have a basement........It is always 10-12 degrees cooler down here, helps to keep boxes cool.
box on left is P3 850, 32 meg video, 5.1 Sb live and 256 meg Ram
box on right is P4 1.5, 64 meg video, 5.1 Sb live and 512 meg Ram

[kam]

The box on the right is my workstation:
1 ghz Athlon
256 MB RAM
128 MB GeForce 4
Red Hat 9 and Windows XP

The 2nd from the right is a server I'm setting up for a library. It runs Debian.

3rd from right is an old box I'm going to load Debian onto for tinkering.
4th, same as above.

The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite S115-S103, 1.4 ghz, 256 mb ram. Runs Windows XP and Debian.

Cool... post some pics :)

[mage492]

I'll post a few either tomorrow night or the next day. (Have to borrow a digital camera and everything...) By the way, I have the ultimate cluttered desktop (since it seems to be a contest, now).

[DSwain]

http://dswain.no-ip.org/pcsetup/

Enjoy! Also, some of your setups are insane. I love it, i'll get there someday

[MorphiusFaydal]

DSwain.. ive got a Lexmark 1000 hooked up to my computer.. :D:D:D:D:D

it doesnt work properly though...

oh well...

im still lookin for my stepmoms digital camera...

chris

[DSwain]

Oh you saw the one on my couch, heh. I would use it- if i had ink for it. Sheesh, oh well, just took out epson good enough!

[carbon-12]

LOL Sevenup you are such a liar. Your setup was posted by a GameSpot Complete Member in the forum section roughly 1 month ago. Why would you lie?

[Oscarp]

Here's mine:

Oscarp, I believe i have the same mouse (Logitech Blue Optical Mouse)....and the same camera possibly (Fugifilm Finepix.) Heh, that's nice though.

[Gertrude]

Oscarp, Nice curtains.. Would you be interested in selling them? :)

[Seven up]

LOL Sevenup you are such a liar. Your setup was posted by a GameSpot Complete Member in the forum section roughly 1 month ago. Why would you lie?

:confused: What are you talking about carbon-12? I posted this over a month ago. I would not be so quick to call people liars! I will post more pics tonight. I will even scan in receipts for over $5000 dollars worth of equipment! Please post a link to this other pic if you will.

[Seven up]

Hopefully this will clear things up :D

If you look close you will see my laptop running the same backround and theme of the post I made on Screen Shots......Just Because on page 160, also note date!

You can also see the screenshot of the desktop on the left that I just posted on page 166.

Either that or i'm stalking this other person...hmmmm nope no stalking. :rolleyes:

[je_fro]

So the other say I got 3 Sun SparcStation 2's with a big monitor, some external storage, and a mini-computer called a SparcStation IPC. All for $50.
I just had to take some photos.....

boxes of software and cables... (http://je-fro.port5.com/RRweb/files/dsc01950.jpg)

even closer... (http://je-fro.port5.com/RRweb/files/dsc01956.jpg)

the wreckage.... (http://je-fro.port5.com/RRweb/files/dsc01959.jpg)

I still need to get a DIN-8 cable to hook up the keyboard (hopefully today). These guys won't POST without the keyboard. I'll update when I find out more about them.
L8R!!!!

[DSwain]

That's insanly awsome. I'm assuming it came with Solaris since you have the books and everything, can we have some screen shots of that once you get there?

[bs_texas]

My ISP finally recovered from that stupid W32/Lovesan.worm.

Here's my setup:

And, yes, a digital camera would be better than a webcam.

Heres my main setup: http://home.comcast.net/~chucksaysword/screenies/main_comp.png

And my "server": http://home.comcast.net/~chucksaysword/screenies/server.png

chucksaysword2,
Where did you get that cow thing thats around your monitor?

[Feyes]

Thanks for all these postings. It showed my wife that there are others like me out there. She's scared now!!

[ixthus]

Here is my submission, unfortunately the good digital camera was dropped in the ocean last spring.

I had to get an AUI to RJ-45 adapter, but now OpenBSD is going on like a champ!

[chucksaysword2]

jsundquist, I believe that I got the cow monitor cover in a mail-order catalogue, possibly Carol Wright. I'm on vacation but I'll check when I get home.

[Seven up]

Yep I dug it up again!

I finished getting my cluster set up. I made the case its sitting in. Would you believe some people say I have too much time on my hands. :D

Case closed

[bs_texas]

Ineteresting 'case'?
What are those 2 boxes at the bottom?
Where's your KVM switch?
Isn't that a little close to the fire? :eek:
I hope you have a stool. ;)

Here's (http://home.earthlink.net/~bennies1/photos_systems.html) my new setup, updated from my previous (http://home.earthlink.net/~bennies1/photos_systems_prev.html) setup.

[Seven up]

1. Thanks!

2. HP kayaks

3. No need for a KVM switch, 3 of the boxes are headless. You start everything from 1 box.

4. My basement is unfinished. The stove is actually a gas stove and only runs for a few minutes at a time to keep the room at a comfortable 60 deg.

5. I usually don't have to work right there I access it remotely. :D

6. I like your set up also.

Here are 3 more things I got..

The First pic is of a Intel ISP 1100 rack mountable 1U server. I has a P3 850MHz cpu, 40gig HDD, and 288 megs of ram.

http://www.digitalert.net/morepics/rackout.JPG



In this second one there is a infrared receiver that plugs into a serial port in a computer, so it can be controlled by a normal remote control.

http://www.digitalert.net/morepics/remote.JPG

[DSwain]

i like your rack Gertrude looks cool.

[canon006]

Well, since my last post to this thread, I've moved off to school and gotten some new stuff, so here's the dorm shot.

http://home.comcast.net/~spoonman14/desk2.html

My appologies, comcast appears to be particularly slow this evening.

[DSwain]

seems to be running fine to me. I have comcast also. looks cool, what is that a mac laptop?

[canon006]

Must've been the ftp on on comcast's page seemed slow. Yeah, that's my little iBook 800, great for toting back and forth to classes and such, I have yet to attempt Linux on it, since most of the OSS apps I really enjoy either have a Mac port or run on Apple's X11.

Well, since my last post to this thread, I've moved off to school and gotten some new stuff, so here's the dorm shot.

What's that little doohicky on the top left of the big monitor?

[canon006]

That is a 4 line, 24 character LCD display from a company called CrystalFontz. I have it setup to check for new mail, display my current IP, system stats, current music playing, and scores, ping and map name in some online games(Counter Strike and Q3). They just sell the display itself, I got the box from radioshack and mounted the display in it. I've had it for a while and it's useful, my particular model is serial but they offer USB displays now as well (though I don't know if the usb models are supported by linux, the serial ones are though).

[Darksamurai]

I've moved too many times in the last six months...

I've got my rigs under a card table right now. I left all my furniture behind on my last move... :(

Nice rack, Gertrude.

I was reading the "Is Your Computer A waste of Time" thread and didn't want to feel as though I was hijacking it so I dug this one up again. (besides I think I heard mdwatts finally got a camera) Anyway this is a desk that I just finished building. I don't think it was a waste of time but I did spend alot of time on it.

WOW this thread! This is one of my favorite random threads... I didn't know it was alive. Hmmmm lets see. I'm sure i've got some shots around now...here we go

http://swainnet.*****.org/pub/images/comp/

go wild. It's all sorts of stuff, computers, desks, basement, servers, etc. Lovely mess I'd say. Later

[fatTrav]

here (http://students.millikin.edu/~tmeisenheimer/my_rig.jpg) is my set up. It's 1/3 of my home office. Pictured are my main work station and my router/server Yoda.

My office is a mess, so I'll just describe it. To the right of the pictured desk is another, messy desk with my win-sh*t/linux-testing box. To the back are book cases, my university degrees, and some pictures and trophies.

My set up at school was even better. Contained the same here, just waay more messier and I had 6 old IMBs circa 1983 that were just an inch or two shy of my desk top's height. They weighed at least 60 lbs, possibly more due. We used them for barracades when we threw a jello wrestlig party.

[tuxnewb]

Ok here are some shots of my desk area and my entertainment center. They need a little explaining though . The first shot is of my main computing area of which by the look of the area you can tell that i spend lots of time here :) (They say that untidy areas are the signature of genius) In the second shot you will see my Multimedia PC using VirtualDub. Other then that all i can say is excuse most of the mess cause im moving next month so i am not being too tidy :)

why whould i need a kvm?
there are 4 computers in that pic

(nice carpet BTW :) )

[duncanbojangles]

And you don't think that 4 sets of monitors, keyboards, and optionally mice is too much to have on one desk!? Obviously, you have the space, but I'm in cramped quarters, so I had to buy a KVM. Unless I felt like mounting a monitor to my wall ... that's not a bad idea.

Oh, that's not carpet. I've been living in the same room since I was six (13 years ago), so I have a wood floor with a town painted on it. Not like you can really see the floor any more, but it's there. It has a park, football field, baseball field, lake, river, community garden, and nice weather year round.

Since this thread is so popular, we are going to reopen a new thread on a monthly basis in /dev/random.

The new thread will appear at the 1st of each month, and will be made stickly so it will always appear near the top of /dev/random.

We hope this new organization will help people find desk shots a little more easily.

Peace,
Brian Proffitt
Do you know of a popular thread full of people's pictures of there deskshots? I believe the intention was to have people post pictures of there screenshots. It was just misinterpeted. Why would you have a recurring thread each month of people's pictures of there desk shots?

[blight]

Well does it really matter?

It's clearly has been a "desk shots" thred since the beginning, so why not leave it the way it is.
you said so yourself that seeing peoples setups was a nifty idea, so lets just leave it like that.

I actually do have it done, the glass is in and I've put in green lighted fans. As soon as I figure out how to take a good night shot with the lights and all I will post another pic.

Although my set-up will not even come close to Seven up's for cool points, it will beat almost everybody for neatness factor!:rolleyes: :D

Neatness factor huh? I see cords on walls, not bundled, sheesh man. :) J/K No seriously though, ive had the please of working for an extremely anal boss for the past couple of years at work and made me completely redo the switches/Patch Panels at work. Ive carried that analism home with me on my home setup. Ill take some pics when I get home of the home setup and then some more tomorrow of the work setup.

[MkIII_Supra]

with the exception of 7UP I have one of the neater systems / set-ups here. As far as the cables, I haven't gotten around to hiding them yet, mainly because I am rethinking my set-up / location.

That and I haven't had the time to really get in there and clean the wires up yet. But they are bundled with zip ties, look a little closer you will see. The wires up on the wall, are not on the wall but on my desk, and they go to my KVM that I have so I can bounce between systems with a single monitor and keyboard. I have to get a new KVM that supports USB then I can take it down to one track ball.

Why I think I have better neatness, look at the desks and see how just about all the others are clutered with... stuff.Everything on my desk is placed neatly where I can get to it and still have room to put 2-3 laptops on my desk if need be.so NYAH! :p

[cybertron]

Finally, both a digital camera working in Linux and a setup sort of worth showing people (I hate dorm rooms:(). Apologies for the size of the images (1600x1200), but I'm in a hurry because I should be doing homework :mad: That's also why I forgot to turn off the ugly timestamp, which was on for a class project.

The whole setup (except the printer which you can't see because it's in the corner behind the tower:)):
http://students.luther.edu/~nemebe01/FarwellSetup0001.jpeg

A little closer view of the computer part (kinda hard to see, but the fan grill on the side fan is a UT logo):
http://students.luther.edu/~nemebe01/FarwellSetup0002.jpeg

The aforementioned printer that you can't see in any other picture. For reference, it's on the shelf below the stereo in the other pictures. It's not very good, but it's so much better quality than my last one and it cost less than two new cartridges so I don't care:)
http://students.luther.edu/~nemebe01/FarwellSetup0003.jpeg

Another angle, more like the one I look at every day. My darn 17" flat panel is so bright that it washed itself out in this picture. Not complaining about 12 ms though:D In case you're wondering, the lights on the front of the case do change colors. They cycle from blue to red to green. I occasionally just sit and watch them when I need a break. It's kind of hypnotic:)

Yeah, I'm usually a slob but if I let my room get too messy it becomes impossible to find anything or even walk across the room, so it forces me to be a little neater:)

That you do bro. I feel your pain about always wanting to redo things. Im that was as well. My desk supports my gaming rig, linux box, G4 cube, and a Proliant server although I just moved it and all it has hooked to it is 3 power cords and a Cat6 cable. I terminal into that box so I didnt really have a need for it to be on a monitor, KB, mouse. Im looking for some cabel management solutions. Do you know of any?

Ill post some pics ASAP.

Do ya want an award? After all, the lines on your floor show that it was freshly vacuumed (like, right before the shot to show off your cleanliness). Not to mention, your CD's are all strangely arranged...

But like you stated, Seven up has got you beat- so it's just "second-best." Not only that, but I'd argue the canon006 has got you beat as well (earlier posts)... Losing places quickly here, huh?

Claiming bragging rights, then giving a "touched up" proof isn't all that convincing... But, stupid is as stupid does, not right?

I had just finished cleaning my house, yes. I vacuum every other day. See the cat? He sheds a lot and is an indoor cat. So I have to vacuum, other wise that hair ends up in my cooling fans. Also I dust every 3-4 days. The CD's are now in a box organized by OS (Platform), and Alphabetic. All I said was my set-up is cleaner than most here. Am I anal about keeping my house clean? Maybe but after 14 years of field day's and sweepers, you would be too.

Next weekend the whole thing comes down, I have finally found a location in my apartment where I want everything set-up. When it is done I will post updated images. With the cables properly bundled and hidden from view.

By the way how long you been an LNO member? Oh sorry Just Linux now... if you had been around back in the "day" of Sensei and Linux Girl, you would know my posting style and understand that I like to have "fun" sometimes. But whatever...

[RX-Heaven]

Ok time to come clean :D :rolleyes: If you look at the very first post here you will see what my space usually looks like. My new desk looks so clean and neat only because it was just finished and I didn't have the rest of my junk around it. I wasn't going for neatness just cool! But thanks anyway, my mom would be so proud!

[Rinias]

Haha!

It's all good Dude! Just had to call you out there. It'd be cool to see your new setup too, when you get it up.

I've been a JL member since it was LNO, yes- it's just that things got a little confused with my account... So I got a new one just recently, ya see? :D Names change... ;)

i found this at kde-look.org so if you want you can look there but i don't know if they have one that is like that. i do believe that icewm has a theme already installed that looks very much like the classic style windows theme. i have also heard that fvwm has something similar also. you have want to have a look at them.
good luck on getting the mum onto linux. the parent types seem resistant to such a change.

[bosox79]

Thanks for all the info Joe I'll have to look into all my options
:D

I agreeuth witheth.. uh.... I agree. You should edit your post and replace the images with links to them.
I like the ghettofabulous shot. I'm currently looking for a simple L shaped desk like that.

[bs_texas]

And... just curious:

What is that blue Q thing on the left?
Is that an Air Conditioner on your right speaker?? :eek:
And playing a little 'I Spy' here, I see 6 monitors and only 5 computers, as long as the blue Q thing is a PC.
Also, I'm not into chaos theory, but for some reason, I noticed the chaos pattern in the paint on the concrete where the chair goes. ;)

[DSwain]

I have to say, that's a godly setup you've got running for you. Good job, keep it up (or maybe not, you might run out of space in any house O_O).

I think I'll update mine soon...

[Gertrude]

Here is a updated picture of most of my stuff...

Woo Hoo new shots!

All Images Here (http://swainnet.*****.org/pub/images/comp/setup/)

The first is an overview w/monitor, laptop, keyboard and those goods. Next one is the keyboard/monitor/mouse and then the laptop. After there's the boxes I'm running (the white one doesn't do anything right now... we'll see about its future) and then finally the main intersection of everything consisting of the router, another switch, and the modem. Other stuff around the house too but that's my desk alone. More later maybe.

Gertrude,

Does the AlphaServer 1000 work?

I have an AlphaStation 200 running Debian. Actually it triple boots to TrueUnix64 and VMS.
I installed RedHat on a bunch of Alphas for Pixar back in the 90's.

Yea it works fine, but I don't really use it all that often. The circuits in this house don't seem to like that much stuff running at once.

DSwain if that was directed at me then thanks...my desk used to look completly INSANE, they say clutter is a sign of genius. But i bought a new desk and it looks real classy to me so i like to try and keep it classy...my g/f's pc is right next to mine and its a sign of genius to say the least :)

i would like to appologize again about posting the wrong thread. please drop it. i was told once..... twice..... now a third time and i feel like i am being yelled at by my mom.
to make it up to ya'll i will post my whole setup.

I have that exact computer desk back home. Wish I had some place to put another desk in my current room. The one they include is tiny and I hate it.:mad:

Incidentally, I was surprised to see more replies about the screenshot. I thought it had been removed a couple of days ago :confused: Apparently I was wrong.

Ok I felt like posting my updated setup as I just built a new comp:D

http://www.imageshosted.com/images/707023destasterroom.png

The green-lighted one is the new one.

Old box =: (the one in the corner with the red fans)

512 ram
hda -- maxtor 120 gig gentoo linux
hdb -- maxtor 40 gig windows 98 (blah)
hdc - combo dvd reader/cd burner
hdd -- benq 56x cd reader

New box =:

Athlon-xp 2400
Nvidia GeforceFX 5700 Ultra
512 ram
hda -- maxtor 60 gig, distroless at the moment
hdb -- maxtor 60 gig, alsa distroless
hdc -- combo dvd read/cd burner
hdd -- 36x cd reader

iMac g4
(don't remember specs:P mostly my brother's comp)
Also notice the state of my room aftet I finished building the box:D

[je_fro]

I finally build my dreambox...

Very hot!! (or, hopefully, just warm ;) )

In your third photo from the top, the case on the left, next to the Sun, I have the same case for a machine that I use to test stuff.
It's the one on the left (http://home.earthlink.net/~bennies1/img_0188.jpg). It's currently a PII-400.

[Daedrus]

OMFG

I want one!!!

To bad if I did build one, I wouldn't be alive long enough to enjoy it. Wife would kill me.

[cybertron]

And while I'm thinking about it, here's a picture I took at a LAN party a while ago. My computer isn't as hot as je_fro's, but my wallpaper of Milla Jovovich is as hot as any you'll find:D

je_fro, well done...its beautiful.
Im currently drooling.

If you dont mind me asking, how much did it cost you to put that thing together??

[Calipso]

I was just wondering.
Many of you guys have multiple computers in the same room. Some of you have more than 3. I was wondering whether or not any of you are worried about possibly over loading the circuit breakers or maybe even starting fires in your computer rooms??
I ask because I have almost 3 power bars filled up in my room and the idea of causing a fire tends to cross my mind on occasion....I dunno if there is actually any threat of it happening or not but it does cross my mind.

Well when I moved back to college I had more stuff than I could fit into my room so I took over the guest room. I had my uncle, an electrical engineer, set the wiring up for me so I won't burn the house down or anything crazy like that.

I currently have three computers, soon to be four (getting a new Mac for the holiday's) and will move my old dorm fridge into the office once I clean the college gunk out of it. Oh, I also have a 1500 watt space heater in here to heat up the room even more b/c I'm sick. I'm pretty careless and haven't set the house or any other place I've lived with my computers on fire yet.

[Calipso]

About $2800...so far it's worth every penny.

Thats about 3,437.04 CAD....quite a bit.
I personally dont think I could jsutify such a purchase, but man is it a nice system......Im jealous :)

Don't be jealous...I'll be living on Ramen until I weigh the same as Sharth.

The reasons you mentioned are nice too, though. :D

Sounds kinda interseting, and I guess nicely justifies such a pretty purchase :) .

It would be pretty hardcore if you just built it for Doom.:)

[cybertron]

Yeah, I feel kinda guilty. I built my new computer over the summer and played with it for a couple of months then, but since school has started all I've used it for is boring schoolwork (writing papers and such). I didn't even have a decent CS class that required a lot of compiling. It's almost over though and I can get back to doing something other than Folding with the CPU:)

Feh. The beauty of Linux is that is runs on anything... from state of the art hardware to dumpster diving discoveries.

Lotsa people like to post their rigs in their sig. I usually take a quick look to see if it's recent looking, if it is, I stop reading. What I really like to see are people running Linux on old, crappy hardware. That's where its at. :D

None of my computers are new, and it's a beautiful thing.

Ah, so you answer yes to the "Are you satisfied with your old computer" thread:) I personally want my computer to respond instantly to at least most of my actions (opening programs and such) and until it does I won't be completely satisfied:p

Back on topic, I discovered when I took my case home over Christmas (Linux rocks, I just used my laptop to ssh in and I didn't even have to bring home a monitor to get access to everything on my desktop. And it was easy:D) that all of the clear plastic on it is UV reactive. I turned on my black light and the friggin case lit up like a neon sign. I'll try to remember to take a picture tonight to post (it wouldn't look as good in daylight).

[cybertron]

And here's the actual picture of my case with a UV light shining on it. Can't wait to take it to the LAN party this weekend:D

http://students.luther.edu/~nemebe01/UV.jpg

If that doesn't work let me know. Our web server has been a little weird lately and I had a lot of trouble getting it to let me upload the image. It works for me, but that doesn't mean a whole lot:rolleyes:

[gehidore]

New case I setup for better cooling, turned out the only <21dBa fans newegg had were red, ohh well :D...

Managed to keep my proc @ 36C (98.6F) when running FAH and about 27C when playing games (why the difference I do not know)

9.99 for the case (4.00USD shipping via my fedex account)
8.99 for each 120MM fan
12.00 for all 6 LED's
1.99 for AC filter
2.99 for gutter guard
5.00 for the black tubing

Cutting the front out and fitting everything together took about 7 hours the previous day, I got everything wired in and strapped down then powered her up and the rear psu fan blew up, sparks and all :(, took me 40 minutes to unwrap everything to access the psu then another 30 to get it angled and opened and replaced. no more than an hour later it was back in the case and working fine...

okay, have a look at this and weep ;-)...

I don't have a digital camera, so I'll just give you a short overview of my computer's components:

Pentium 133 MHz
64 MB RAM
17 GB HDD with three partitions
1. SuSE 9.0
2. SuSE 8.2
3. (I admit it) Windows 98 (now rarely used, honest!)
2 MB RAM graphic card

I think that's a good example that Linux will run on about any kind of computer. The KDE runs very sluggishly but Window Maker does a fine job.
I love my old computer though, I'd never give it away (I can't imagine that anyone would want it, but anyway...)
The day will come when I get myself a Mac, though *dreaming* :)

Heh... up until 3 days ago I was still running X on a 2MB S3 Trio64V+. It actually did an acceptable job at 1024x768, 65K colours, 60Hz refresh. <sob>

But now, I've reached the big time at last, going totally berzerk with a used (surprise) 16MB nVidia Riva TNT. Woo hooey!

(It is *great* what Linux will support. :D)

This is my old desk setup. I had this setup for years. It's a makeshift desk :/ and also really... _really_ small

This is after I got my new desk (about two and a half weeks ago, from my mother's office, she had no use for it). Notice that it's nice and... _clean_. It stayed that way for about five minutes.

And this is it now. It's dirty as all get out. The laptop in the picture is my mom's (it used to be mine, but it rarely works, and i have no use for it anyways -_-), which is currently not posting. I also recently moved my system into a new case.. i don't actually have two computers :( And also. that's my pet stuffed monkey, george. say hi george!
