Tell jcap to post his desk, and post yours too! [JCAP POST YOUR DESK]

I installed the preview the other day, not a really big fan. Once more metro apps are available i'll probably enjoy it more. I don't really understand why people are so gutted about the loss of the start menu though, I hardly ever use it. If I do, I just use the search feature (which i'm guessing is still there in 8).

I just don't think it's efficient at mouse and keyboard input. Absolutely fantastic for touch-screens though I wonder if we need such huge elements on larger screens with higher resolutions.

I also don't think OSX is efficient at it, either. I'm rather picky with my UIs. I prefer the traditional GNOME layout over KDE, but I don't like how GNOME does some things and I like some of the features KDE has. I think Android is a pile of garbage with its UI, it can't decide what to do with itself...and I'm not even talking about the skinned versions used by manufacturers, either.

So yeah. UX is a big thing for me.

Most of us have used Windows 8 Release Preview or an earlier version, so it's not like we're just pulling this out of our asses. In any case, it's a stupid thing to get mad over.

fak u dolan cable management

time for a full tower xD

Holy Christ. Even my old case didn't look that bad and my old case is a piece of shit.

Is that an antec 300? You know you can reroute the cables through the back, right?

Throughout the years I did many modifications and couldn't be bothered to put everything properly back in.

That's an Antec 300 but without cable extensions it still wouldn't be enough to rerouter everything through the back...but in the end it doesn't matter anyway. Still never overheated and the temperature idles perfectly fine.

I don't like the case (the LEDs in the front fans I have form the shape of the swastika...my fault though on buying the wrong ones xD) and after I get my new one , I will make sure everything will look properly.

If temps and performance are fine, then fuck cable management. It's just a pain in the ass. However, it does prevent loose cable from moving around and hitting an open fan.

True true...and in case of an upgrade, easier management.

How in the fuck....? They are literally all over the pic, how did you not see them? The first thing I saw was the trip monitors because they are bright, and then the Ar-15 is just sticking its dick up with the bipod, and then I was instantly eyeraped by the rest of it. That was all within the first two seconds.

thats exactly what i did, minus the eye rape. i was too busy looking at the monitors and the rifle. im honestly shocked there wasnt a joke about me being desensitized to dildos or something, because fuck, im starting to doubt myself here :ohdear:

Ganon spends a lot of money on BD...

replaced the stacked 22" and 24" with a higher quality display

Moved places, this is my room for the next month:

at least that chair won't absorb your farts

They linger since it's such a small room which isn't so good.

Enough alcohol and energy drinks there Timo?

lol, you should have seen my desk before I moved

What the fuck happened to that chair?! :ugh: And why are you still using it?

too many farts tore it apart

It was a 40 chair that I got 3 years ago

More desk, less monitors.

your zr30w looks crooked and it's making me upset

timo, high five for worn out chair bro'z

Yeah buddy!

Looks nice.

I ordered a SteelSeries Sensei RAW -Rubberized last Tuesday. I got it yesterday:

http://techgage.com/reviews/steelser...w_01_thumb.jpg


I'm not much for SteelSeries, but when I saw the features of this mouse (rubberized surface, white LED lighting, plug and play, symmetrical design looks better to me, and low price point), I stopped waiting for DeathAdder 2013's to restock and bought this instead for $50. Sure it has no fancy LCD display on the bottom or 6 DPI settings I'll never use, on-board memory I'll never use, and fancy LED lighting that I'll never use, but it shines as purely a gaming mouse. No bullshit involved. The brilliant white LED lighting can be turned off completely or separately for the mouse wheel or logo and has a slow pulsing effect:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGBgdh90A3A

Yeah I almost got one of those things, they seemed really great.

A long time ago I ordered one of these too, but it got lost in the mail. So I got a Rosewill keyboard with mx reds instead :3

One day i'll get that keyboard :\

Jesus. The more I use this mouse, the more I appreciate how sexy-feeling the rubberized surface is :D I thought this same type of coating was applied to my G110 keyboard when I saw it in pictures prior to buying it, but that was not true, unfortunately. Plain old plastic on these keys :(

If i ever have the money for a new mouse or something expensive as a dedicated mouse, I'll probably get this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16826254077

It's going down in price too! $40! I may have to get it the next time my current mouse decides to quit.

What the hell is a dedicated mouse?

Well, this time I wanted something that would a. have a better cable than the Dell premium mouse I replaced and b. be comfortable. I don't know how I lived without this rubber coating before. Still, I feel like I could have used those extra rubbery sidings of the Deathadder 2013 on this mouse.

Why? The G400 is amazing. Easily my favorite mouse, and I've used many far more expensive ones. The grip is absolutely perfect for the right-handed and the sensor is excellent. My MX-518 lasted me through 8+ years of hardcore gaming and the G400 is just an improved version of that.

He's retarded if he thinks he wasted his money on the best made mouse of all time.

Was sarcasm :\

Logitech G5 is the bomb, had it for the past 6 years

Setpoint is a Piece of shit. Therefore, G500 is a piece of Shit. The ergonomics are great, though.

eh, i've never really used the software as it is crap. Windows' mouse settings are more than enough.

I have the G500. Yeah I use default windows drivers, never messed with the other software.

My bad, I meant the G500, not the G5.

Attachment 3143

Last of the parts for this came in earlier today. My first build. I'm very pleased to actually have a computer that I can play a game on more than lowest of the low settings now! (location is temporary, need another desk)

Oh and the G400 is pretty nice.

Great build. It's been a long while since I last saw someone do a true complete build with a monitor. Then again, I don't see any speakers in that build :P

Could have saved the $23 if you skipped on the optical drive unless you really need it. I've been optical drive free for 2 years :D Although, I'm contemplating getting a Blu-Ray reader since it's not always ideal to convince someone else that I need the TV to watch a movie I've already seen lol

Yeah I didn't get any speakers...I was just thinking of getting a decent headset. If nothing else, I'll hook it up to the stereo in my room. Optical drive was a must for me. I burn (and rip) things every so often. And I used it for the Windows installation.

http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/...7/100_0368.jpg
That dell monitor was the best single £8 purchase made for this set up.

Windows 8 sucks because of its oversimplified interface.

It was designed for retards who dont know how to do more complicated things on their computer and don’t want customization. They just need really big buttons to slam their heads against so they can tard off to facebook. Also microsoft is trying to force you to use the cloud where all your personal data is now easy for the goverment to sift through and where you dont really have any controll over your games and programs because you have to pay to use. Think about all the times you have used your programs. Lets say you payed 50 for a game in the past and play it alot. Now you only have to pay per use with no initial fee. Think about it. You will end up having to pay 50c for every use and if you use it 1000 times you will pay them 500 $ VS when you payed 50 dollers and got to play it as much as you wanted after. You are really stupid if you think that is a good idea. Also not everyone wants a computer that is always online, this means that most of those giant button apps for retards are useless.

I know it was designed for a tablet. My other points are valid. On that note I think people who dont realize that upright touch screens are a bad idea are morons. I mean think about it. With the mouse you can just leave your hand at rest on the desk and keybord. Whereas If you are using an upright touch screen you are always having your arms elevated. Over a normal period of time this will make your arms tired. Play a game or do some work with a touch screen for a few hours and you will see the issue.

Just because its newer does not mean its better.

Actually, Metro was designed to be a touch-friendly interface for devices that are inherently limited in capability, i.e. PMPs phones and consumer tablets (it was actually designed first for WP7 using ideas started with Zune). The only reason they are incapable, though, is because they use ARM-based processors and there is no real productivity software for systems using that architecture outside of office applications and even with that software, displays are either too low of a resolution or too small.

It's a fine idea, however they seem to think it can be a one-size-fits-all approach and that's not true, because the desktop OS is a mature platform while tablet-focused OS is not. And worse for them is that tablets are getting more and more capable every day, making those UI designs that were supposed to help circumvent shortcomings become increasingly obstructive. For some reason, everybody thinks tablets are incapable of having applications running simultaneously and/or in a windowed format. Metro's inability to do either of those things kills it as a serious contender.

Microsoft needs to go back to the drawing board and engineer a UI that is flexible enough to be implemented without much change across their entire size-spectrum of devices that also maintains the flexibility demanded by consumers and power users. Stitching Old and New together with a few lines of code is not the answer.

USB installation is still, faster :P

Not desk pictures, but I dusked out the PC today and took some outdoor shots...















Lots of smudges because I gave up trying to keep it clean after my 5th or 6th LAN with it.

That is one dirty computer you've got there.

It's all just scuffs and shit that won't even come out anymore.

Edit: However the reason I took the pictures was two-fold. 1: Because I had everything apart and outside anway, and 2: 'Cause I plan to get some 6-pin PCI-E cable sleeve in the next couple of weeks and I wanted before/after pictures.

I guess I'll try and clean the case when I do my teardown and cable management when those come back in.

why not get the nvidia edition of the CM690? that sticker is ugly lol

because he blew all his cash on sli'ed titans :v:

Have had this case since before the Nvidia editions were announced, got that sticker in a swag bag from some place. I thought it looked pretty awesome. :saddowns:

Just noticed that all the stuff that looks dirty on the back of the case isn't actually dirty. That's just me not caring about what the rear paint job looked like. I pained the case flat black since this was from back before that was standard in gaming/enthusiast cases.

You need to remember that Pyong doesn't buy things, he begs for things. :)

I don't beg for things.
I obtain things, sell them, and buy things.
