Since we upgraded to LCD screens the cats don't climb on the desks as much... there was a lot of nice warm space to sit when I had a 19inch CRT tho. The sub is with my 50eur Altec Lansing speakers... ( http://www.alteclansing.com/index.php?file=north_product_detail&iproduct_id=vs2421 ) they have better sound than most of the 2.1 PC speaker setups that cost twice as much... so much so, even my brother in law got the exact same pair, the sub is great, takes up very little room but still has some kick

slick... I've been thinking about a 2nd screen for a while now that I have a new Beast... it's gonna have to wait until I get some more high paying projects or the wife upgrades her screen... which only means I'll get a smaller 2nd screen...

Well no, but tft's are very efficient

I'd guess it probably costs about £3 a week to run it all, all the time and running flat out which it very rarely is, so it'd be less than that

btw, nice little mixing desk... we have a Behringer Eurorack MXB1002 which is probably quite similar except we have faders for all the channels...

While i'm not a huge fan of behringer gear for "mission critical" devices they do make affordable stuff that for most people will do the job nicely, it's survived about 3yrs of near constant use so i'm quite happy with it. Faders would be nice but a little excessive for just a couple of computers and my mp3 player. Got a 24 channel one say at home home waiting to be put into a churches PA system (when that gets upgraded

)

I still prefer this one though!

Shame i don't get to use it very often

I love it. Fast, connects well and has a good screen. It's relly quiet too and doesn't seem to get hot easily. Battery life is great too, especially if you have the brightness down a bit.
Mine has a 2gb upgrade which is well worth a quid extra and easy to do yourself. The only caveat I would mention is that being a slightly smaller keyboard then usual, it's probably not great for anyone with BIG butch hands - I'm a girl so that's not a prob.

That desk would be overkill for our needs... we just use it to mix two mics and a phone unit to our broadcast software... faders are a bit overkill for us too, but it's nice to be able to tweak levels on the fly, and the wife is used to using a rather larger broadcast desk... We got ours with the thought that perhaps we might also get a couple pro CD decks but in the end the software we use ended up doing pretty much everything.

A bit of a shuffle around, rotated my left most screen, I wish i'd done it a while ago, gives me a much better reading screen than when it was landscape

Well your computers wipe the floor with mine

Nice choice on the WD Raptors

Mine only looks impressive, under the beautiful exterior lies a pile of poo!! AMD Sempron (SK754)

In the spirit of things...here are the photographs.

The bottom computer station that I spend 90% of my time on.

And the second floor office space. Since I didn't tidy up as much as I would like to, guess photographs of the computer will have to do.

It's an older model and can be a bit cranky at times. For some reason, it likes to randomly launch missiles at the USSR...

is that samsung 22inch? I have a 226bw (from when they first started making them...) cost quite a bit when I bought it and the prices are nothing even close now...

Chako · **Reply #114 on:** August 25, 2009, 12:46:08 PM

No, it is a Samsung 24" SyncMaster 2493HM.

Whoey · **Reply #115 on:** August 25, 2009, 02:01:08 PM

looks exactly like mine...

Chako · **Reply #116 on:** August 25, 2009, 02:12:40 PM

They do look very similar. Note the absence of the small silver round button on the lower right. I wish mine had buttons to be honest.

A review on the monitor.

Hmm finding decent wallpapers was hard before, now it's a whole 'nother kind of hard! Got to find ones with enough horizontal AND vertical resolution that don't have the focal point at the centre as the extra height of the portrait monitor shifts the image up so i need ones with images focused on the left (or right, can flip them) $:-\$ Or just abstract ones, but not a big fan of them. Any suggestions!? 3600 * 1280 (ish)
