My man-cave.

Ralle · Aug 30, 2015

Ah. How is it working with the fan behind the laptop? Is it really necessary?

Roland · Aug 30, 2015

The laptop can't withstand the heat, so I bought a mini-table fan to keep it cool and in-tact. It's really important, if the laptop has no table fan, It'll end it self shut-downed due to overheating..

Ralle · Aug 31, 2015

Wow, not a very well designed laptop. Anyway, you found the solution, hah

If its past warranty I'd recommend opening it up and spraying it thoroughly with a can of air, especially at the heat sink. Stopped my old notebook from throttling constantly so its really worth a try.

Its also possible to replace the old thermal paste, but if that was the case then the table fan wouldn't be of much help :3

Anyhow, update: I got my new monitor, but I forgot that my new(ish) video card only has 1 DVI port on it (old one had 2). So if I want to dual monitor I have to get a new card or manually switch between my TV and my second monitor. I can also get a splitter and just have my TV and one monitor show the same image.

Velmarshal · Sep 9, 2015

Just an update.

Clean, I like it.

That's a bummer. And no other type of ports you can use instead?

Had to go back to my old monitor now that my notebook died, went from 1080p IPS to 720p and TN :ogre_rage:

Nope, it's an Asus T100, I mostly use it as a netbook.

Roland · Sep 10, 2015

Oouch, Ok.

KILLCIDE · Sep 18, 2015

Was searching for a vJass tutorial and ran into this thread instead ;D might as well post!

Here's my current lame setup. Just got into programming, so I recently got the 2nd monitor xP

Oh.. whats that? You noticed the epic hat? Yah I got you covered. CLOSE UP!

Ralle · Sep 18, 2015

Haha nice

Here's my command centre with my trusted machine 'Cthulhu'.

And also some nerdy stuff:

Ralle · Sep 20, 2015

Nice and clean. Oh and, someone likes green

.

KILLCIDE · Sep 20, 2015

Clean setup and love the extra large mouse pad. I'm not so sure about how you feel comfortable having the mouse up there and the keyboard below it xP also, are your monitors on stands or mounts?

You get used to it and it is actually not that bad with the mouse. You barely feel the difference in height.
Yeah, my monitors are mounted to pipes, which are then clamped onto my desk. Weren't even that expansive as far as I remember.

Ralle said:

Thanks, boss. Yeah do like that colour a lot. It's my favourite.

Heinvers · Sep 20, 2015

Looks very tidy and clean, love it. Also, green power

You mind sending a link to the ones you got?

I'd love all that extra workspace! I have a pretty small desk, so the extra space will be extremely helpful when I get my drawing tablet haha.

I don't have a link for that. My dad has ordered them off Amazon for me.

Flux · Sep 21, 2015

@General Frank, very neat setup. I didn't knew mouse pad can be that huge.

The hive chat is active

You should see our kitchen. Every second item is green. It's mostly Nina standing behind it but I'm not complaining

Dat surround sound. +1 for Ned figure.

How can you see it's surround?

You guys have so weird wall sockets.

I was just imagining what playing games/music is like from having those two ginormous speakers adjacent to me.

Huh, I didn't even notice that. Weird that he has a US Type B socket, and not one more typical to Europe/UK.

I just realized you have an outlet by your PC ;_; I have my TV by the ONLY outlet in my room, and due to the setup of my room, I had to put my desktop on the opposite side. Solution: 2 extension cables

North America is North American. Our power grid was probably developed in conjunction with the US's, tbh. Also the reason it's so visible and dramatic is that neither plug works >.>

Yes, that would do it

There aren't MANY of us Canadians on this here board, but we are few and proud.

It's even alot worse here in the Philippines.

Why do you think so? They do the job just fine for me, I've never had any issues with these sockets. In fact, it was travelling to the UK and using their weird-ass sockets that has been the biggest pain for me

Ash · Oct 2, 2015

cough

Ralle · Oct 4, 2015

Don't even get me started on british plugs. They are even uglier.

Mr. Gameplay Knowledge · Oct 24, 2015

I'm agreed with everything that have Ralle here replayed.

Squiggy · Nov 25, 2015

My battlestation, externals and hubs and lastly, tasty cable salad after rearranging all my furniture in my room.
I can't really plug them in a NAS because, well, my NAS is full too...

Roland · Nov 25, 2015

Nyah! That lamp is so cute <3 I love it. And why's your wires messed up, Fix it and arrange it with a Velcro D:< (is your lamp light orange or yellow? :3)

Squiggy · Nov 25, 2015

The lamp is beige - my phone cam sucks and the lightning isn't exactly good due to winter.
But the cables aren't messed up at all D:

Gilles · Nov 25, 2015

Cable management is overrated.

Ralle · Dec 4, 2015

Oh god, so much stuff. Indeed cable management is overrated, but keeping your setup simple is not.

Roland · Jan 9, 2016

This new year I bought a Samsung 19" SyncMaster S19B300 LED monitor and a DELL Multi-Media Keyboard plus with a zoom keys perfect for my wacom tablet <3 Here's some attachments.

Monitor 1 (The Laptop) is Exclusively for Chatting and Only.
Monitor 2 (The 19") is Exclusively for Designing, Browsing pages and Other forms of crap. I'm so giggled about my new rig <3
