Show us your computer setup
Pictures please!
Friday, July 8, 2005 by Frogboy | Discussion: Internet
Everyone show us your home computing rig. Here's what I've got going at my house. I have two PCs connected up using Multiplicity. One is a P4-3.4 Ghz Dell gaming setup and the other is a P4-2.8Ghz Dell black box. Both ahve 2 gigabytes of memory on them (I do a lot of video editing and such).

I'm surprised to see anyone actually using the mouse that comes with the Graphire. It's terrible, I use the pen exclusively. Corky, can you actually work with it?

I like what's on the board back there, Brad. 
I'll get a pic up, but I'll tell this much: I apologize for the mess....
hehehehe

Let's see...I have 7 comps, but no way they'd all fit in a picture, so I'll just use my 3 main ones
Like Frogboy, they're all Dell
Dell XPS Gen4: 3.4Ghz P4, 4GB RAM, 256MB ATI Radeon X850 XT PE, 24'' monitor (my gaming/development PC, go figure)
Dell Latitude D505(laptop): 1.4Ghz, 1GB RAM, nVidia 64MB something (my school comp)
Dell Dimension 4100 (the grey box in the back): 800Mhz P3, 256MB RAM, nVidia 32MB something (workhorse comp)
You know? I've gotta say the 4100 must be blessed by the PC gods or something, though the monitor's off, the machine's been on for 8 months, it's used pretty hard everyday (I use Lotus and Grapher 3 ALOT, along with WordPerfect 8). Also before I got the XPS it was my gaming PC, it could somehow play Command and Conquer: Generals on highest settings without lagging one bit! I've had this thing for 5 years and yet it's overall performance is leaps and bounds ahead of whatever else I have (it's never been once connected to the internet (and both had clean installs of ME/XP) though if that explains anything, but neither has the XPS)
Other comps include some old Pentium PRO laptops, and a XPS X200 P2 that's...somewhere.

Yeah, the new driver they released works well. I switch off with mouse and pen depending on the task - also a big keyboard shortcut fan.

Hey, VF!? You've got my table, but you've got one in gray!
And actually you've got two of them!
I'd much rather have had the gray then the white.
Where'd you buy yours? I got mine at Office Depot.

viking-direct.co.uk also got one of them little matching drawer units with the glass top in grey too for the Hi-Fi, real nice but the glass wasn't the easiest thing to line up but it sure is a robust desk.
Only bad thing due to the hot weather skin marks on the glass :/

OKay, my pics show up and then they disappear. Can anyone give me some advice on keeping them up there? I have tried two different urls.
The one from my wincustomize photos library and one from my yahoo photos library.
What gives? anyone?

Donna,
Try going to ImageShack here Link, use the register link to register, wait for e-mail (usually sent immediately),
upload your first image (it will have a black bar with pixel size), use the link next to this image to upload without black bar, upload all your images,
use the "direct-link" address of each image to place in the link text here.
That should do it.
Note - the only limitation at ImageShack is a 1024 KB (1 MB) file size per image.
