Finally moved into a bigger house so I was able to add more leaning bookshelves. Now I just need better books to fill them up with.

I think CB2 and IKEA both make desks that can look really good in a well-crafted environment. Both of them are below DWR in terms of cost (particularly IKEA). Maybe try digging around Apartment Therapy for ideas? I know they've put up some decent DIY stuff before too.

I really like that style desk, however, be careful, if you have them on carpet, as they can shift and gouge the drywall (my old roommate got one after I pointed them out, and when he moved out, there were huge gouges in the drywall from where it had shifted ever so slightly). Sill I love the way they look! What size monitor is that?

(Sorry for the quality, phone cam) My temporary setup until my room is finished: Closeup of my *cringe* laptop: The three PC's down below I got for free(friend works at a uni's IT department).

Just moved into a new apartment, getting a new computer desk and chair for Christmas from an uncle. Not pictured is the 30ft of ethernet strung across the floor from the modem to this room. I highly doubt I can run the cable through the walls by drilling and stuff, so does anyone have any good ideas on how to hide/make this more convenient? I was just going to duct tape it above the doorways along the wall to this room instead of keeping it on the floor.

Go to home depot to the place they sell coax cable and look for these little things, and run it along the baseboards of your place. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000HSGM20

There should be a gap big enough between the door frame and the floor boards if you have carpet to snake it under.

No worries, it sits on wood floors and is pretty stable. It's a 27" monitor.

 My work mess from a few weeks ago, using the android panorama feature thingo. From the far left - old pc with 6 serial ports as a console server (centos), testing laptop (half decent i5), left most dell monitor connects to a nice little quad core i5 for labbing, other monitor MBP for mostly everything (synergy+ for sharing keyboard and mouse between the two), old IBM t30 running irssi (centos). I don't really have a home setup, it's generally the MBP in my... lap. I've since moved the birdsnest of cables to a more appropriate place (the bin).

This is an awful derail but why is it a problem that you can't get above 60 FPS in a game? Can you perceive a real problem caused by vsync? (it's a good thing since it mitigates tearing, usually)

 Yeah, I have a laptop paired with a monitor. I can't imagine that's very common. v  v I originally just had a laptop, then ended up getting a Windows tablet+dock and started using that for school instead, which turned my laptop into something I only used at home. So I got it a second monitor and turned it into a "desktop".I really need a new desk though, it's really cramped now. And a new mousepad, that thing's filthy.

I have a 27" Dell Ultrasharp connected to my laptop for everyday use. I plug in a mouse and keyboard though. If I need to head out somewhere, I just disconnect my USB hub, VGA cable, and network line, and I'm good to travel. It helps to have two power supplies for a laptop. One of mine is wrapped up in the desk so I don't have to go under and plug it in all the time.

Sudden Infant Def Syndrome posted:It's probably a lot more common than you think. Oh I like the idea of a second power supply. I will definitely steal that if I need to start bringing my laptop out with me. And I also have a wireless keyboard (actually it's sitting behind my monitor) that I use if I'm gaming or doing something else that involves a lot of typing. I feel better knowing that there's other people with the same setup. Most people have just yelled at me to build an actual desktop.

That's a really weird thing to yell, unless you're planning to do some serious(ly goony) gaming. Every developer and IT guy where I work has the same setup, though most don't even use the laptop screen anymore. Think about it as docking your laptop. In fact, a dock might be a good investment. It makes coming and going at work pretty easy.

It makes coming and going at work pretty easy. I have very goony friends. Plus I do do some gaming on my laptop and have to bump everything to the lowest quality to actually play, even though I have a fairly decent laptop. It's really not a big deal though, since I mostly stick to consoles. edit: I mostly only use my monitor too. I usually keep Skype chats, or a video I want playing in the background on the laptop. It's also good for putting up reference images while drawing using the monitor. McOgre fucked around with this message at 21:56 on Dec 21, 2012 |

Oh, my words suck. I meant use the laptop screen at all. As in, the laptop is shut and they have two full sized screens on an ergotron or something similar. I still just use my laptop screen since I'm a miser with other people's money, but point was that using a laptop as a desktop makes sense for many people.

I'm seeing tearing when I drive around in a vehicle. It's very noticeable. It only happens when the terrain is changing quickly though. I am GPU bound more often than I'm CPU bound, but I am seeing improvements from the game side of things. Lets see if the next round of driver updates help as well...
