Looks good. Ikea has some decent stuff.. if I had the money I'd probably buy some Ikea stuff.

Why would we laugh? Custom workspace is a good thing

 

[Black89cs]

Black89CS:is that 386 built on to the board? If so I think I had that board in my first computer! been a long time had an MDA card in it with an amber screen. DOS on it and 4MB RAM.

I believe so. It looks like there's a slot for a co-processor as well. It'd be neat to get running again, but I doubt I could find the hardware to make it work.

Nae...that was more if Jasen read that post...

 

[WoodButcher]

I laugh at Ikea / knockdown furniture when folks tout the "high quality", it's okay in it's place. I have bookcases from Walmart that are pressboard and tackpaper that are 5 years old. They needed solid wood support for sagging shelves but they are fine for the job they do. Best part was when I moved last year I had no hesitations to hack into them to make them fit in the new space.

 

[Jasen]

WTH, who is F'n laughin at me, you bastages :evil:

It was that Swed again wasn't it :twisted:

 

[Munken]

No Jasen. I was thinking YOU would laugh at me and my new "computer desk" build in the last post on page three....

 

[Jasen]

Well I can't laugh at a guy for supporting his local economy

No wait, maybe I can :rofl:



What you do with cars, I do with wood. We just work in different mediums :thumbup:

Does that translate? medium= material you work with.

I mounted a shelf under the countertop for all cables. So they don't have to lie on the floor and collect "ghost poop".

 

[Black89cs]

That's a good idea.. I have the stuff to organize the cables behind my desk but um... yeah, it's still in the drawer.

Picked up a PDS Infinity AV at a thrift shop for $20.

Intel 915 mobo
Intel Pentium 4HT @3.2ghz
80gig hd
1gig ram
350w Seasonic psu
no os.

Stuck Windows XP on it, added another gig of Corsair ram, and a RadeonHD 6450. Hooked it up to a brand new 20" Acer monitor too. Happy as can be. It'll get an Ubuntu partition soon, possibly after 12.04 comes out.

Here is my current computer system

Here is my current computer system

I bow before your cable management skills. I've never been able to get my self-built systems to look like anything but a mess.

 

[tedanderson]

:rockon:
Yeah.. that's nice!

Having been a cable technician for a few years prior to getting into IT work, it's always bothered me that the cables inside a PC were usually sloppy.

 

[ryyiann]

yeah my ish is sloppy

 

[fastcataz]

Building computers is fun, I do audio systems as a side line.
My current rig;
Antec 301 case
Intel Exstreme 3.73 dual core
Gigabyte board
Raydon 3870 vid
500 gig Hitachi main drive
2x 1K gig Hitachi storage drives
8 gig DDR3 ram
Lightscribe DVD
Roland sound monitors
27 inch Insignia monitor
Laser jet printer

 

[WoodButcher]

Nice fastcataz, is that the 965 pressler? do you overclock at all? Did you buy that chip new when it came out? if so you paid a pretty penny,,,,

 

[fastcataz]

Yes, 965. I like it. Don't overclock much, it is plenty fast. Bought the chip new. Ouch. My only real "toy" so I spent a few bucks. Did I mention it is FAST! Just got a ASUS PRO Art monitor in 24 inch.

 

[1990GMCRallySTX]

just updated to another 4GB ram, got rid of the buggy MSI video card and replaced with two 250 GTS in SLI mode, the SLI bridge here is missing but I recently picked one up and now it works.
I still have to buy a SATA expansion card because I ran out of motherboard ports.

My mom has 4 6' book shelves and an entertainment center that I put together back in the mid 80's. They are still like new. Particle board ftw. lol.

Now as far as showing off computers. I will not show mine. I got it in a cubby hole under the desk and the HDMI cords are very tight. If I move it, the 32" monitor will go out.

Lately I've been doing remote control of my desktop with my android tablet. So much fun.
