He needs something to fetch the beer from the fridge on! :p:

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Update of mine.

Made a manly approach to my computer layout by putting the important beer fridge next to the computer desk :D

Re: Show us your workstations
 

u have a fridge next to ur pc, either thats the kitchen pc, or (no offense ) that is pure lazyness :P
lol, wish i had mini fridge mmmmm tht would be nice

Re: Show us your workstations
 

That's a huge fridge for cooling beers only, get yourself a minifridge lol.

Here's my layout:

Re: Show us your workstations
 

But where would he keep the icecream and cake :shrug:

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Be it ever so humble........

Re: Show us your workstations

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Cosy though Zing!

Re: Show us your workstations

Re: Show us your workstations

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Christmas lights? It's not even December yet :o

Re: Show us your workstations

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Dysfunctional female chic, possibly :p:

Re: Show us your workstations
 

hope you dont mean my curtains ;) lol

Re: Show us your workstations
 

I know it's a bit previous, but I like a bit of mood lighting of the Christmas type.;)

Jealousy gets you nowhere sweetie!:)

Yes it's curtains for you Zing!;)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

LOL Thing is that those curtains are probably glued in place with the occupant not seeing the light of day and if he smokes too then usually gets amused by the halo like effect he sees during noon when 1 or 2 rays of natural light break through allowing the drifting smoke to be seen.

Does your missus call u a vampire too ;)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Continuing the clutter theme, I really should tidy mine up!

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Nah mate thats relatively tidy ! The best one I've seen was the usual mega clutter and to top it off a handy couple of BOG ROLLS ROFL.

(its all suprising how we find this actually organized as everything is in one place :)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

okay okay I give up....here's mine... I know its a mess but thankfully you cant see all thats near the boxes either. and yes there is a UPS next to my desk waiting to be plugged in. also this pic is taken by my phone (k800) so dont take the mickey outta it. my digi cam I cant find anywhere.

Re: Show us your workstations

Re: Show us your workstations

Re: Show us your workstations

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Is that am AM12 X10 unit on your desk ? If so why aint it plugged in :D

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Ah, the AM12 X10, another fine product by the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation? :confused: :shrug:

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Its prolly a CM12

http://www.uk-automation.co.uk/compu...ace-p-996.html

Basically it allows you to control lighting, heating, appliances via your PC and if you're smart you interface that to the Web, WAP mobile phone, voice activation etc

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Interesting choice of computer chair, DocDutch, and what happened to the carpet? Flea trouble?

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Not sure which bit on my mess you're all on about - if its the Plug thing next to one of the base units then its a power meter:
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...itor&doy=25m11

Wanted to see how much power I used leaving all my kit on! (finally plugged it in today) - Scary thing was my Ikea lamp (Top Left of desk) uses more power turned off than my Zyxel Router turned on!!!

Re: Show us your workstations
 

What make & model is that DMM there next to your printer Tricky?

Re: Show us your workstations

Re: Show us your workstations

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Yep, hooked in the TV card, except it gives no sound on the PC, does with the TV though =)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

*BUMP*

Here is my new desk with some new audio equipment :)

Going to get some cable ties for the wires though.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Note the whiskey glass. A tender eighteen years of age and already a hardened drinker. Youth huh.

:D

Re: Show us your workstations
 

It looks very pale to be whiskey ;)

Looks like water to me...or vodka ;)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Heres my setup in my attic office, yes it is always that tidy!

The first is of my Acer laptop with a LG screen plugged in for extra workspace.

The second is from left to right, on the floor, linux server, D-Link Di-614+, spare monitor & keyboard for repairing other PCs, Smart UPS 1400, old dual P3 PC, and on top is Laserjet 2100 and Deskjet 720C, I got the UPS and Laserjet free :)

I also have another UPS that the laptop and linux server is running off under the desk, I take the laptop battery out to prolong its life.

The third is my Proliant server, currently setup with a Windows SBS 2003 and 3x Windows 2003 Enterprise with Exchange 2003 Cluster, running on top of VMWare ESX server.

It's an ML350 G2 2x1.4GHz P3s, 1.4GB RAM, dual PSUs, 3x18.2Gb 15,000 hotplug drives attached to a Smartarray 532 in raid 5, a Compaq Remote Lights Out board and a DDS4 tape drive. Not the fastest of servers but its good enough to run as a testing system.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Heh - first time I've seen anyone using a G2! We sell the G2/G3/G4/G4P ML350s at work - along with the APC UPSs (1000-1500). Never thought I'd see an individual using any such kit.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Yeah, we had a few lying round a work, we sell Proliants to our clients as well, mainly ML370 and a few rack versions.

It does make a bit of noise which is why its in the spare room, but I have considered moving it to the cellar, however I would need a wireless bridge of some kind. It could go anywhere, its fully remotely controlable, so long as there is power and network.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Heh - they're best on startup. Had a fair few customers (female) let out a scream when they push the power button ("Look for a big grey thing - where you put your backup tapes... 'Bout halfway up - push the button on the far right..." <loud roar> <loud scream>) We have a few customers with ML370s - few and far between though.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Have you heard the new DL380 G5 startup, thats noisy, and if you pull a hot plug fan out all the rest double their RPM and the front display shows a red led where the fan's been removed. Sadly that one has gone to a rack now so I can't record it.

The G4s are just as noisy but don't seem to have fan speed control, the last one we build had to be put in an empty room while it was configured.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Not all 18-year olds drink alcohol - but it is rather hard to find the ones who don't ;)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

We only do the ML350s, so I've not heard/encountered any other servers - apart from Dell <spit>


Fire water :D

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Yeah unfortuantly we have some clients with Dells that either decided to go out and buy one themselves, or already had them before we took over their IT support.

One client had a ML370 G3 with SBS 2000 on and decided to "upgrade" it to a Dell with SBS 2003 on their own, they made a right hash of it, I had to go in and spend a day fixing it, the problem is they had their own IT guy!!

ML370 G3s can run 2003 perfectly, over 60% of our servers are ML370 G3s.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Yeah. We contract our installation services to 3rd parties who supply the (dodgy) Dell hardware - then expect us to fix the hardware when we're only responsible for the OS :rolleyes: Made your bed...

Re: Show us your workstations
 

An update from my very old pics : http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...&postcount=243

And : http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...3&postcount=37

These were taken a few weeks back : Not really happy with it as I really only want 2 pcs in there and hopefully will be pc' less in the future - Will post the cat5 wall outlet which does look slick.

ps the laptop is not there for display purposes :) The single mouse keyboard controls all three monitors like 1 extended desktop besides theres not even a third of my gear on display so I'm not in show off mode (yet) heh

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Updated mine due to the new audio equipment (so I've had to re-arrange the left side of my desk).

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Nice ! What kind of music produiction do you do ?

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Just saw this thread, so I thought I'd take a pic of my workstation. :)

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/dbilimo...0Computers.jpg

Thanks to FusionXN1 for making the Vista Orb SQUIX wallpaper. :D :tu:

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Here's mine, just about sorted now.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Apologies in advance for letting the side down if it's too tidy.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

I really can't understand how people can use those GOD AWFUL "computer desks" !! There's zero room to rest your arms/wrists when you're typing and using your mouse!

+ those stupid "slide out mouse trays"......! Hilarious! lol!

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Mines always been fine for resting hands/wrists/arms on :) It just depends how far the tray slides out really. Mine slides a good foot out so it's usually not a problem.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

The dream machine :rolleyes:

Re: Show us your workstations
 

lol prime example of the desks i hate! (no offense) :P

Do you find it comfortable typing/using the mouse with that setup? There's... zero room! :shocked:

Re: Show us your workstations
 

That one is my wifes, and its ok for typing away but not as a work desk.
The one below is the kids pc, you will really hate it :disturbd:

Re: Show us your workstations
 

hehe, well each to his own i guess :D

(looks reallllly awkward to use though!)

I use one of those L shaped desks from IKEA, I don't think i could go back to anything else now, it's so spacious and comfortable :D

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Here's mine, i have to have a compact setup as it's in my living room.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Just thought i'd add my latest, nowhere near enough room for it all

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Better lock your doors there m8 because Llewelyn-Bowen and Smilie will be in there like a shot.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Er, none so far. There's only one piece of equipment there that's good for audio production in the current state they're in (which is the Yamaha MU10 tone generator, the little one at the top).

The Roland MT-32 (the black one that is turned on) & CM-32L (the beige one under the MT-32) are brilliant for synthesized sounds, but I need to get a MIDI break-out box so I can link all 3 sound modules together (MU10 has 2 inputs with volume control, so it's basically a mixer in one too).

Plenty of demos from all 3 modules if anyone wants to hear :p:

Re: Show us your workstations
 

As I am looking for a new workstation set up, can I ask where you bought the desk from.

:D

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Nothing Fancy, but plain old Argos, the desk is seperate to the 3 drawers. (the numbers I think are 6210478 and 6210069) and for the lot it is less than a hundred. But I'm very pleased with it, very sturdy and don't wobble about at all. Both together feels better, much more space to work on.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

An MT32? I had one of them nearly 15 years ago! Best strings patch ever.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Yup, I've been after one for over 2 years and I got this one a month ago. Got the CM-32L a week ago :D

Re: Show us your workstations
 

As I have the camera out to post in the xbox thread, here's mine :-

Re: Show us your workstations
 

that desk is far too tidy... :)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Nice, I like your PC case. :)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

ta v much, looks better from here tho

Re: Show us your workstations
 

iv got that case on my old pc which i made at collage almost 5 years ago

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Mine is 3 1/2 yrs old

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Scruffy, theres a cup on top :disturbd:

Nice clean setup :tu:

Re: Show us your workstations
 

hehe, it's a souvenir - got a picture of my son on it with 'Happy 1st Fathers Day'

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Not as tidy as everyones here :D but we are working on this house right now :D

Re: Show us your workstations
 

My mug is bigger than your mug!
Also, you stole my Logitech speakers :O

Nice setup :D Shame it's so tidy, where's all the clutter?

Re: Show us your workstations
 

aww you got your name on your cup! :D

Re: Show us your workstations
 

I knew someone would come up with that :D, that is my new coffee mug :D it's huge :D

Re: Show us your workstations
 

I have changed mine a little....

Re: Show us your workstations
 

I see you weren't kidding about the size of that case. How tall is it? Excellent taste in mice, BTW. ;)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

27inches...

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Yep it's an excellent mouse, I've had the MX1000 since it came out but I only paid £40 (rather than 60) for it as a friend bought it back from Germany for me (rip of Britain...)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

IIRC, mine was £45 from Scan. I've seen reviews for the new MX Revolution, but IMO, I still think the MX1000 is better. My only criticism of it is the software [Setpoint]. Admittedly I haven't tried the latest version yet, but I think it's ridiculous that it took a 3rd-party to create a profiles tool for it, especially when they make profile handling software for some of their other devices [e.g. the G11 & G15 keyboards]. Sadly, it seems that LogiGamer is no longer being updated. :(

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Well i suppose i could add mine.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Nevermind that, I want the TS-2000, much better than my IC-706IIG

Re: Show us your workstations
 

I have two the one in pic is calibrated 2955 and I have a 2955A just failed calibration a couple of months ago, do you have any contact numbers where I can get it re-calibrated.


Hehe yes the TS-2000 is a nice transceiver, and its fully loaded if you know what I mean and I would not part with it for all the beer/tea in the world.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Well, since I work for a calibration company yeah! :D :D

Where did you send it for cal? What did it fail on? I work at Dowding & Mills Calibration (Sutton-In-Ashfield). The number is 01623-555110. I work in the repair department. Hope that helps.
