Title: Post Your Setup here! (ACHTUNG:Possible High Bandwith) Post by: Dicion on 2004-02-29, 13:01 Since people are always interested in what other people have, And we dont have one of these here yet... I figured I'd start it

At work I have a new XP type comp coming soon. hate XP don't know what sort of machine Title: Re: Post Your Setup here! Post by: Tabun on 2004-02-29, 13:29 Hmm, I'm not gonna list what's in my comps - Hell, I hardly know that myself, keep forgetting the old stuff 'n such :]
But here's a shot if you wanna see my 'setup' (http://www.planetquake.com/tabun/pics/tab_setup_4-2003.jpg). Edit: what hath changeth since then: - The case in the back is replaced by a new rig, in a nice mac-style black box - I have a mx500 on an icemat on that comp now - There's more of a mess on the desks (including many design docs of both gen and sites I'm working on) Title: Re: Post Your Setup here! Post by: shambler on 2004-02-29, 13:37 My room looks very much like that, but its all dark blue. carpets, wallpaper curtains etc.
Is your audio going thou the stereo at the side of you comp? is that hard to set up? Title: Re: Post Your Setup here! Post by: Woodsman on 2004-02-29, 17:30 Comp 1

Title: Re: Post Your Setup here! Post by: Tabun on 2004-02-29, 20:06 Yup, audio goes through stereo (I specifically bought my stereo for that purpose, so it has plenty of audio-in connections). At the moment, my left hand system comes in on AUX, while my right hand sys. is on VCR. Just a matter of popping the cables in, really.

At the moment, my left hand system comes in on AUX, while my right hand sys. is on VCR. Just a matter of popping the cables in, really. That is a fantastic idea. It never occered to me to try that with the sound. My new monitor has dual imputs so I might get a stereo and rig the sound up as you have, and do the same with the monitor.But then, maybe I could put the sound thou one of the PA's I use for the band.... 8 imputs and 2k watts. a rocket would then sound like a rocket! (only joking about that) Title: Re: Post Your Setup here! Post by: OoBeY on 2004-02-29, 21:29 Hey guys, what's going on in this hardware thread?

Title: Re: Post Your Setup here! Post by: Tabun on 2004-03-02, 03:52 I see I clearly fail to outdo any of you in mere system specs. But I have a joker up my sleeve. Remember that shot of my room I posted earlier on? (Well, you had, if you'd only clicked it)
Wondered why there were 3 monitors, but only 1 case? Well, it wasn't because the other one was somewhere hidden under the desk or anything. It's actually outside of the room. See for yourself here: underneath the desk.. where'd it go? (http://www.planetquake.com/tabun/pics/compout_01.jpg) (and in case you were wondering: yes, yes that hole was specificly drilled in the wall for this purpose) Oh my! It's right here! (http://www.planetquake.com/tabun/pics/compout_02.jpg) (note the arbitrary rolling stones vinyl, and obligatory dutch 'DO NOT turn this off!' sign) And that's not all. Usually (when I'm not being a lame-ass and/or working on the rig) It's encased in part of one of my old desks. I've padded that with insulation, to make it even less noisy: As you can see, it's dusty (http://www.planetquake.com/tabun/pics/compout_03.jpg), but it's almost hard to believe I run anything when the machine is in there (so yes, the printer fits a lot nicer on top of that. Also, the rig next to it is another corpse of one of my old digital companions) So there we have it. It may not be fast, and overclocking it is simply impossible when it's running hot in the insulated cupboard, but it sure as hell is quiet in my room when I close that door, and I can relax with my scotch and music without having that 'on the airplane' feel caused by the average computer. Ah. How sweet the little things can make one's life. Title: Re: Post Your Setup here! Post by: games keeper on 2004-03-02, 17:25 dont wanna say anything tabun , but if dicion loads up the pics , you will be able to see 5 pc's under my dads desk , and we just use a switch so that we only have to use 1 monitor and 1 keyboard :P
