Besides power cables, the only cables I have at my desk are a vga and 2 stereo cables for a mic and speakers and it's still a mess down there. Click here for the full 1680x1260 image. Behind my TV is something else entirely.

MW posted:For the record, I don't care about cables, but many of the posted photos have visible thick layers of dust on everything. How you can let it progress to that state and not even care when taking a photo is beyond me. I don't think anyone really invites company over and says "hay wanna watch me use the computer in my room??" So, if the user is the only person using it, and the user doesn't care about cleanliness, what's the point in spending time doing something utterly useless like dusting more than once a year?

To be more specific, lug the brick around all you like. Just make sure to get extra cords to snap into the brick. It's a lot easier to just snap your brick into the already plugged-in cord than it is to have to unravel something every time you move your computer between the 2-3 desks it has. Sure, it's not as convenient as having multiple bricks, but it won't cost you $80.

Also, the brick accepts standard figure-of-8 power cables that can be had for about £1 each, so there's no need to buy any Apple-specific item. Doesn't look as nice but who cares?

Aunt Beth posted:I don't want to be an rear end in a top hat, but I'm curious as to why "tower" on the right is so huge? What's inside it to justify a case that size? Or is it simply my morning-stupid mind inable to process the difference in size between the Dell box and that? To be honest, I didn't realize it would be that big when I purchased it. It's actually quite nice for airflow. Keep in mind that my tower is also lifted from the ground. Nothing in it really justifies the size. It's a "gamer pc" if that means anything. ashleet fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Aug 12, 2008 |

That's not a gamer pc case, it's a loving Transformer that's going to kill you in your sleep.

I used to have one of the older CoolerMaster Stackers (different than the ones in the thread). It was huge, but all the components ran very cool on air (as opposed to running somewhat hot like they do in my newer, more normal sized case). It was a dream to work in, but I took it to a few LAN parties and it was a loving pain in the rear end. Casters helped a little bit, but I still had to carry it up stairs. I actually rode the thing down the sidewalk one time when I had the casters and amazingly, I didn't manage to break anything. Never again will I own a case that huge though, it's just too much of a pain when you have to move it.

I guess since I took these for the purpose of bragging I might as well continue bragging. I don't think I'm going to get around the fact that I'll need a receiver to get proper surround without cumbersome switching or software rerouting. This was supposed to be a desktop PC primarily, but it's mutating into more and more of a home theater. Forget the other poo poo, I got arguably the most baller headphones on the planet and that's all that really matters. Edit: I guess I better upload some labels.
