It's one of the Winamp 5 visualizations...not sure which one, though.
 
As an aside... I just thought you all would appreciate this. This picture is what I see whenever I drive towards the capitol building here in Tallahassee, FL. Yes, this is actually a picture of the real State of Florida capitol building. Nice, huh? The tall building in the back is the new capitol, the one in front is the old capitol, and the two domes are the Senate and House of Representatives buildings. I can't herlp but a least chuckle whenever I see this, either in person or in pictures. Enjoy!! :eek:

haha nice arrangement. i like your homemade desk, and ive got the same headphones i beleive... aiwa hp-x222 right? ive had them for years, great sound for only 30 dollars, but i had to make a ghetto plug for it because the original got messed up and only put the sound through one of the sides, i just had to chop the plug off a set of junker headphones and splice it with the cord from my aiwa's, still have great sound!

Yeah, I just got my B.S. in Information Studies from Florida State Univ. I believe the proper reaction would be w00t, as the kiddies say. :D
 
I've been watching these desktop threads for years now and always meaning to post, but I don't remember doing so yet...

Welp, in the last three months... I went from this :

to this :

compootie_room.JPG


to my favorite... this :

I loved the triple monitors, but it was a little 'too much', so I ditched them and waited for a good deal on the Dell 2001FP in that last pic.

$500 at xmas @ Best Buy after all the rebates...the price was right!

In looking at it all... my keyboard (at least) needs to be painted black. The cases too... time to break out the vinyl die. Then comes the cleaning up of the wiring... it never ends!!! :)
 
one of my favorite set ups so far BrettG not quite sure why. are those former CRTs of yours 955dfs? if so tell me you didnt get rid of them. I WANT ONE!

Nice and congrats. Once you go LCD, you never go back.

Until you get dead pixels and realize the resolution and color isn't as good as CRTs. I sold my LCD ... running dual 21" flat screen CRTs couldn't be happier :)
 
Thanks for the comments, guys... And yes, I don't see going back to a crt anytime soon... My eyes feel so much better after long periods of pc use. Even with 120mhz refresh on other monitors, something about the flickering just gave me headaches. That and the room is 10 degrees cooler (3x 19" crt = oven).

The monitors are gone, stearnum. I had them for almost 3 years and they worked great the whole time...kept me tan too. I sold them to a friend for $250 for all three... Now I just gotta sell this Parhelia.
 
Penthouses are big, this is a pent-box. I make what I can of it, and I like it! btw, posting these work areas is really funny, get to see others' personalities in their space!

Here is mine, excuse the warped stitching, doesn't work well at close quarters...

build2.jpg


workstation is an oldie, but still works great: piii 1GHz, asus cusl2-c, 512MB pc133 sdram, ati aiw radeon8500dv, creative tnt2 32mb (2nd monitor), cambridge soundworks magaworks thx 550, sblive 5.1 platinum, 2x wd caviar 80gb 8mb cache, pioneer dvdr, liteon 32x cdrw.

server: pii 400, 192mb ram - currently offline because the system disk tanked :(

Turntables are wired to the monitors (one in picture, one to left of picture) for just playing and also to the computer for recording. To the right (behind the desk lamp) is my fish tank, behind that book cases and a window that opens onto a rooftop.

In the life of a grad student, I took a b&w of my former quarters a few months ago:

It's a messy cube, but that's what you get when you live there for a while. I have since moved out (mostly)
 
What kind of tables you got there? They look black in color so my somewhat educated guess/high hopes would say that they are Technics 1210s. But i'm not too sure of that as the picture is fairly dark.

Hell yea!! Did you know that he's a straight edge/vegan? Meaning he doesn't drink (alcohol) Smoke or do any illegal drugs, and doens't eat any products made or from animals.

And yet he still a tough looking son of a gun. Black Flag and the Rollins Band ROCK!

I notice you have city of heros on your desk. If you anything like me, you won't be getting to paint or the wires anytime soon.... :D

hmmm the pic is missing some junk :p
btw is that a futon? and how does it feel im thinkin about getting one
 
Like when he spills juice on his keyboard? Apple juice I mean... get your mind out of the gutter...

But seriously, he has what looks like an ash tray, several random medications, air can, water bottles, are paper towels really that far out?
 
The dually proliant below the desk at the right is my folding system. The sun box used to run my website, but now it just sits around gathering dust.

Actually I had just finished cleaning up the entire desk :p

They're actually Numark TT-100s. About half the price of Tech-decks. Not quite as much torque, but still direct-drive and I've really enjoyed them! (Of course, I enjoy when I bring my records to a party that has techs set up already too, hehehe)
