Nicholas Naime Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Ouch! I just returned the camera I'd borrowed from a friend. Well, even though I'm out of the competition, I decided I'll post this pic I took a few days ago. Quiz: Guess what these computers have to do with the iPod, and you'll get a... uh... um... "wow!" from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWD Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Hey! Not fair! You already got one! A) It's an iPod Mini 6GB and the prize is a Apple 20 GB iPod...a completely different item. B ) I am more familiar with iPods than people without one which makes me more appreciative of all their features and benefits which others can only dream about or experience tethered to an electronics counter under the watchful eye of a pimply counter attendant, all of which make me far more deserving of the full size version. C) A marriage with one iPod is not a happy marriage and thus in the interest of preventing marital strife I should win. D) Alternatively, someone obviously photoshopped that into the picture after I uploaded it in an attempt to sabotage my winning entry. I demand one Apple 20 GB iPod in compensation for this dastardly act against me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbb213 Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 (edited) I'm a minimalist. With a MSI K7T Turbo2 motherboard, a 400watt Hercules power supply, an AMD Athlon 2600+ (133Mhz bus) (2Ghz) , a Linksys network card, a Westell broadband DSL modem, a Hercules 3D Prophet MX II video card, 3 sticks PC133 168 pin 256K SDRAM DIMMS,and a Western Digital 40GIG Hard Disk with 8MB buffer, a Hewlett Packard keyboard and a Hewlett Packard Pavilion monitor ( the keyboard and monitor a gift from my mother when she got a new Dell) and laying on my desk, I have my basic access system. This is the core. Nothing else is plugged in until needed. A 56K modem for fax software, 3 various models of CD-ROM/DVD drives, 4 extra Hard disk dives, a nice speaker system. All being controlled by Windows XP professional, no updates or Service Packs installed. The original XP professional I've found through alot of testing was the quickest, and it has not gotten quicker. My system boots in 22 seconds and shuts down in no less than 4 secs. I run AVG anti virus and Kerio 2.14 firewall. It's really a nice system. I aquired it piece by piece. The western digital WD4400JB units have 8MB buffer and can be had from Amazon for 60 bucks, shipping included, they are good, I have 2 of them. The memory is PNY, it lasts, besides it has a lifetime warranty. Here are a couple shots.http://cvws.info/image/computer0.jpg http://cvws.info/image/computer1.jpg oh, and the workspace.. http://cvws.info/image/workspace.jpg I think I've got about 300 bucks into it. Hey, this is a cool idea. I'm new so I was not around for the last one. But it's fun seeing what everybody uses. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wow...I think I seen it all........ But Honestly, I give it to you hands down....Your the winner to me already...lol Edited April 2, 2005 by rbb213 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qinau Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Here's my home office setup. I swear I didn't do any cleanup before taking the pic, I love my desktop very clean and tidy Oh and if you're wondering where my case is, it's in the next room. If there's one thing I hate more than mess, it's noise. The pile of cables going through the wall under the desk hook me up and now I'm all quiet ( I know the cables look a bit messy but it's a small price to pay for silence, I only wish I'd done it earlier ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtrolley Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I just signed up to TCH and let me say I'm impressed. It's cheaper than my last hoster, _plus_ the features you offer blow the other one out of the water! Anyway, here's my entry for the iPod contest. I have my fingers crossed because I just recently lost mine to the back seat of a cab By the way, that's The Cheat there. I saw other people had their cats in the photos, and since mine wouldn't cooperate I had to improvise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcowger Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Well, I guess my first post as a TCH customer and forum member will be my office photo. I had to stitch together 3 photos to pull this off (I hope that doesn't count as illegal photoshopping - its not modfying what I see, its correcting for the fact that my wideangle lens is at home). From Left to Right: CiscoWorks Console FreeBSD IDS Monitoring Station Linux Test Server Windows Laptop Triple Head Windows Workstation (w00t!) I swear the TCH web page is up on the 3rd monitor from the right, but all the white on the page blew out the camera sensor. Oh, and my giant Ferrari flag in the background! Don't Miss: The blackberry, the Perl DBI book, and the Subaru STi wall paper, 2 hubs for my server and test VLANs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
