There is not an option for me to upload a picture but one of the wallapers I have is from this site. http://controltheweb.blogspot.com/2007/12/large-background-desktop-wallpaper-for.html

These were taken in Dec of 08. I still have the desk just not the setup.
This desk has been great. Only problem is the screws I used to mount the Ikea legs were short enough to split and crack the wood underneath where a couple...
the wife kicked me downstairs. the desk took up too much space.
the basement could use a make over except I don't own the house.
We are renting a home while our house is being built. I will have a whole room to my self in the new house.
Really well actually. I'm a bit surprised.
half life 2 of course runs awesome. L4D2 Runs around 40FPS outside surroundings 60-70FPS inside surroundings with graphic settings all on high.
Yeah the basement floor is a little uneven lol
The text is super clear. real easy to read. I love these monitors.
I have two hooked via DVI and 1 via displayport and have not had 1 single problem with them since they were first hooked up.
I don't keep people in a well down there I swear!!! lol
There is a humidifier for winter and a dehumidifier for summer that I keep going down there.
And I actually like the dreary feeling. adds to the industrial/creepy feeling when I game.
BUT I do plan on adding a wall to split the whole...
yes sorry it is the Oxygen49 that I have. Works very well. I also seen the Axiom 49 there at guitar center as well but I didn't need that many bells and whistles with it.
to Rukks:
It's strictly a Midi controller. Works really well in Propellerhead Reason and in Cubase. Still trying to configure it in Fruity Loops. The 49 key count works well. Not too big or too small.

They were 299.99 on the egg LINK. They recently came out with a after...
to Spartan1000:
I love it! Takes a little getting use to like any new mouse. The added multi-button thumb grid really helps. I can utilize them in just about any game I play, not just MMOs. I play a lot of FPS and third person action games and it helps with quick in game weapon and map...
all these have definitely inspired me to start building my own. I think it's the best desk you can ever own. customize it the way you want. I'm aiming more toward what CLock3 did with the solid core door. Let's see some more!!
Hey, I was cruising through the forums to find some info on making my desk. I am using a solid core door just like you did. BTW you did a marvelous job on yours. I was wondering when you stained it and finished it, how many coats did you use? And did you use a paint roller or paint brush?
Thanks...
Just by a normal AC wall plug. The fan pushes quite a bit of air and it doesn't get warm.
Helps the GPU suck in more cool air. Those Matrix's get hot. so much for 20% cooler.
The case is made for watercooling but can be sufficient for air cooling.
get the 700D if you don't need the hot swappable hard drive bays or the fancy see threw window on the side panel. I currently have no watercooling and my components stay fairly cool. Use a decent aftermarket cpu cooler...
I've had the motherboard and Athlon X2 for a while already, I just recently purchased the 5870.
I did plan on upgrading everything after getting the 5870. I was just unsure if I would gain much performance compared to a dual core..
The x4 945 is the fastest quads I could upgrade with my current...
Thanks for the info guys.
The fastest CPU my board can support is the AMD Phenom II X4 945 Deneb 3.0GHz
It can only support 95w Processors.
If I were to upgrade, this is what I would get. Not bad for only 140 on the egg.
It's either spend that or save up to get a EVGA A760 or Asus R3E and...
I been wondering about my CPU Being a bottleneck. Now I have read around and what I have learned is that most games NOW dont use more than 2 cores at once. I currently have a Athlon II X250 OC @ 3.7ghz with a Asus ROG matrix 5870 with a clock speed of 1040. I get about 40-50FPS in RE5, 30-40 in...
I do have upgrade plans. I just pulled the motherboard and CPU from another build and just got the Asus Matrix 5870 since it was the only most expensive piece to my upgrade. I has the case for a while now. Just didn't use it until now. In about a month I plan on changing over the board to a Asus...
Yeah I might just wait and get the Rampage 3 until I do all my upgrades, instead of adding upgrades to my current board, I would feel like I wasted money if I did it this way.
I finally purchased my first high end video card. The Asus Rog Matrix 5870 2gb.
I am really excited to add and upgrade more hardware to my system to get top performance from this.
Currently I only have a 550watt PCU which only has 1 6pin PCI-E connection. So I will be upgrading to the...
Yeah i'm currently running board graphics, but I am ordering the ASUS ROG MATRIX 5870 in a week and the AMD Phenom II X4 945 in 3 weeks.
So after those two purchases I should be ok.
Yeah I think I just might go the Rog way.
Recent reviews stated that there has been some "screen tearing" problems with dual screen setups. Something about the card switching from 2d to 3d settings.
I dunno. Worth a try. It can't be that bad or they wouldn't market the thing.
Well now that I looked at it. I dont think I could upgrade to a 940 or 955. On the Biostar website under this particular board it says the fastest or "newest" I could install would be a 945 or 925 http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/cpu_support.php?S_ID=394.
Could this board support a 940 or...
Sorry to confuse you all. I also plan on getting the AMD Phenom II X4 940 in a couple days as well. So I won't have to worry about bottlenecking my GPU. The 955 is an option to.
BTW this is a little off subject to Video Cards, but would I have to reinstall my OS if I upgrade the CPU?
