Re: Show us your workstations
 

kool does seem popular & iv seen a pic of a PC further up the page that also has it, so it does seem like its a popular model.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Looks better than when I had that case.

Re: Show us your workstations

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Bit redundant without pics, this is show us your workstation and not tell us about your workstation you know lol :p:

Re: Show us your workstations
 

I would guess it's one of these

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2010/08/33.jpg

Re: Show us your workstations
 

lol Yes, will get some pics up soon.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Have to admit I'm not a big apple fan but saw one of these (Or something similar) A while back and was definitely tempted. Think the one I saw had the 24" screen, very nice.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Well, I did update my system as my gfx card fially gave up, but I'm not sure there's much point in showing another piccy :)

edit - oh go on then :)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

My first ever Apple computer.... The 27" i7 Imac.
I had to save up for ages but it has been worth it.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

wow, the graphic on the second image looks awesome. I'm looking to get a new imac but wish there was a 24 inch version as for me the 27 inch is a bit too large. How do you find yours?

Re: Show us your workstations
 

It looks massive at first but then you get used to it really quickly and you also think how great it is to have so much more sace on the desktop. Especially useful if you have programs with a million different windows or that need a lot of room.
I downloaded a few full HD performance demos from http://www.demo-world.eu/ and it plays them no problem.

There is the 21" version but I would truly reccomend the 27" version, especially for movies too.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Cool, thanks for the feedback. Yeh I tend to work with alot of applications/windows open at the same time and I guess it would be a good alternative to having dual screens as well.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

So clean and tidy that Mac is, wish I had the cash to get one!

Re: Show us your workstations
 

The imac has replaced my awful big 19" CRT so it makes the room a lot bigger too.
It was expensive and I'm now poor and got no money left but I think it just is an amazing machine with an awesome screen.
Im using it for music production and so far it is working very well. HD videos are very good on it too.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Did you get an external audio interface by any chance?

Currently decorating at the moment my den is in complete disarray. The music area is very cramped at the moment even though there's only a limited amount of equipment left setup (everything else is de-racked/standing against the wall in flight cases). Waiting for some custom furniture to be delivered: multi keyboard rack with monitor brackets, tft screen arm and laptop shelf.

There is a computer in there somewhere ;)

Attachment 20852

Re: Show us your workstations
 

I havent as yet no. I cant afford one at the moment. The Apogee Duet looks quite nice but too expensive.

Am going to have to contact Apple tommorow. It buzzes when I put it to sleep. Argh!

Re: Show us your workstations
 

The AD/DA circuitry in the Apogee stuff is among the best in class though, having said that I don't think the Duet is a particularly robust or functionally well laid out in terms of how the input placement can introduce undue stress on the connections if you're not careful (aesthetics over function are of no use to the gigging musician)

however Presonus Inspire 1394 is under £150 and an excellent bit of kit, well worthy of plugging into your mac.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Another - slight update for my workstation.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

....and another update - after some monitor moving :)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

the inside of my computer has changed quite alot since the last pictures

Re: Show us your workstations
 

My portable workstation ;)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Well I have done a bit of a upgrade :D

I am now running:

Intel Sandy Bridge 2600k
Asus P8P67 Pro
8gb Corsair Vengance DDR3 1600mhz 9-9-9-24
Palit GTX 580 SLI

Pic's are from before and stripped and then with just the motherboard in the case and then with everything in it.

Looking forward to tomorrow when I can fire it up and get windows installed and then playing around with the overclocking on, these cpu's hoping to hit 5.0ghz.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

All that processing power to run notepad.exe!!!

Re: Show us your workstations
 

To be honest I only went to get the 2 GTX 580's but ended up chatting to the owner of Scan, with my brother in law and he said to the guy on the counter "this guy want's some nice kit give him discount" so I ended up with a sandy bridge as well, and got a very very very nice discount on it all so not complaining but will be interested in seeing what it is like at converting some of my vid's for youtube.

Just now need the case that I want from specialtech then the waterblock's for my graphic's cards.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

:rolleyes: Wasted!! :)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

when mine is back in one piece and the leads inside dont look like spagetti Junction i will lol.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

There are other videos that I convert and other thing's that need abit of grunt other than gaming.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

well Crysis looks good but its a total let down. No Direct X11 or even 10 till its patched no real settings for GFX even with a little tool to create a autoexe file which turns everything on full but runs perfectly on a single 5870. Gone are the days I spend a lot of money of GFX cards and nothing pushes them. Even if Battlefield 3 pushes it its still only 1 game

Besides that nice build :-) it is a second rev board free of the potential controller issues?

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Yeah to be honest Zing I see your point about the card's and the games but I still play the original Crysis and Crysis Warhead and they, still bring a pc to it's knees now or atleast they did with my single GTX 480 that's why I went for the 2 GTX 580's as they mean I can, max it out and still play it with a stable FPS.

I did hear something about Crysis 2 not being DX11 from the start though so will wait for that game for now, until they patch it but I am looking forward to running Crysis at it's max and playing with the overclocking on this chip.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Well the skeleton is finally going - so I thought i'd post the final couple of piccys :)

I'm replacing it with a cheap no bling - no windows - basic black case.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Why dude?

Re: Show us your workstations
 

I'm bored with it - and I can't be bothered with the lights and things so a bog standard case is in order.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

fair enough dude :)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

how big is it? (ooer)

what MB will it take and how many drives?

---------- Post added at 12:14 ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 ----------

don't worry - looking at the specs

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Fair enough :) - It does take up a lot of space.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

i have a big antec case as it is (1200) - but I have problems with my gfx card over heating - wondering if a new case is the answer, or a new card, or a new fan/heatsink on the card...

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Well this one never has problems with overheating.

It does get very dusty and I blow it out once a fortnight with a can of air :)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

how hot? which card? its own thread? lol

Re: Show us your workstations
 

hot enough for artifacts to appear on the screen, and to crash soon after. (100 degrees at one point)

it's a Gainward ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 Rampage GLH 2GB GDDR5

I can start another thread on it, i guess...

---------- Post added at 13:01 ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 ----------

the antec 1200 has 3 dust filters, which i have to clean every month or so (I have no idea why there is so much dust, the house is very clean) - and requires me to undo around 30 thumb screws to get them out...

Re: Show us your workstations
 

does it overheat only in games or when not under load? change the cooling or at least reseat what you have with new compound and used CCC to turn the fan up

Re: Show us your workstations
 

New case and a few upgrades...

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2011/04/9.jpg

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2011/04/10.jpg

About as much as I can get away with the mrs for now.... ;)

(Note ghetto table mod to get the case to fit under it, trusty Leatherman to the rescue!)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Horray for modular PSU's :)

Shame about the MOBO though :P lol j/k

I got a 1200 also :)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Whats that attached with the white cable?

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Looks like a usb and firewire extension port for the rear.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Looks like my tower unit although I have the antec dark fleet df-85 £130 from Ebuyer.

I dont have my power supply fan facing down though there wouldn't be enough space between the tower base and the floor, so I have it facing up blowing into the tower. I have 7 fans in the case, x2 140mm fans at the top and x2 120mm fans at the back blowing heat out of the case and x3 120mm fans blowing cold air into the case so the added heat from the power supply blowing onto the board doesn't matter as its taken back out again.

Idle with stock cooler for AMD 965 quadcore is around 30c not sure what the heat is peak

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Just got 2 fans one in one out in my case keeps it cool enough and its nicely overclocked
