Why do you have the periodic table in your room? You're not at college are you?

And why do you have so many laptops?

[Athena]

@ Ash
Some new graphics cards need an extra source of power, other than that I wouldn't see why it would not work. Mine needs that, though it wasn't a problem. If you want I can look in the manual again.

btw I have a periodic system too, though another layout. They rock .

@ Ali
I'll post some when I get home .

Offtopic: There is research going on about hydrogen power but it's not as easy as it seems. I happen to have been taught about it .

[chemical ali]

I have a periodic table because it looks cool, very geeky I know and I do chemistry its a lot harder than your media studies.

I have laptops as I have no space for desktops in my room laptops bundle everything into one.

[Torn]

Rofl. Periodic table on a poster in your room. Rofl.

[Ash]

Ali, I don't do media studies. I've actually told you what I do. I can't help it if you're too stupid to remember.


Anyway, to prevent this post being ENTIRELY offtopic, here's my rig...in 2 pictures, since it won't all fit in one The scanner was salvaged off my old comp, btw. The keyboard is older than the PC, which is younger than the speakers, which are younger than the keyboard, which is younger than the mouse, which in turn is younger than the scannerm which is older than the printer

So I expect you know the atomic number of Iridium off the top of your head?

[Ash]

Absolutely. Because I do chemistry, and because my life depends upon me knowing the atomic number of Iridium.


It's 77, btw.

I took the case off some time ago because I heard weird noises and haven't put it back yet .


The Power Supply has green, red and blue lights. Unfortunately this wasn't so easy to photograph, as my camera is a bit bad when it's "too dark" in its eyes.


The actual computer, the external hard drive, the subwoofer and a lot of wires.


The monitor, one of the two speakers, and the VCR.


The laptop from uni, not that great but at least it works.


This one's for Ali

Your PC needs a recase its beige!


Nice periodic table in dutch! And that laptop looks quite good a toshiba? Wonder why they put Windows 2000 on it when it has an XP sticker.

What's wrong with the colour?

And yeah, I also wonder why uni put Win2000 on my laptop (indeed it's a Toshiba) when there's an XP sticker on it. That's just lol..

[Ash]

Ali, that computer doesn't even HAVE a case. I think Blaat must've taken the cover off to make it cooler. I wouldn't do that with mine; it'd only make it dustier. And as we all know, dust is a killer.

So many wires...luckily mine are all tucked away



I'd love to see Apollo's rig. Probably it's held together with spit and sticky-tape, steam bursting from the welds of the case due to overwork How his PSU's holding on, I'm not sure...guy has his running for weeks on end without a turn-off. Not unusual for a server, but for a home PC...

[Athena]

Dudes, learn to read. I stated I took it off:

I took the case off some time ago because I heard weird noises and haven't put it back yet .

I took it off because I heard weird noises coming out of it. I put it back when they seemed gone, then they returned. It happened a couple of times so I decided to keep it off for a while. I'm going to buy a new HD soon and am keeping it off until then.

And yes there's a lot of wires. A few are not used anymore, the old dialup modem is still there, somewhere . I just haven't removed it. My external HD has two wires, the subwoofer speaker system has two, the microphone has one, so do the VCR and the printer and that's most of what's there I think.

And @ that last comment.

[killakanz]

That's actually Ali's classroom, not his bedroom

I'll post a pic of my rig once the laptop turns up next week, should have a chance to tidy a bit by then...

Hrod: Does your mouse recharge? Naturally, they're less frustrating than those which run on regular AAs...

Yeah, it has two Li-ion battery packs.

My mouse.

[Paladin58]

At school, in our tech lab we have almost the same mice for our comps, 'cept they're wired...

[Hrod89]

They probably aren't G5s though, cause they cost $50 a pop. They are probably MX510s or something similar.

[DemonWolf]

New comp!
AMD 64 3800+ Processor
4 GB memory
300 GB HD
NVIDIA GeForce 6150 graphics card
CD-RW/DVD-RW Drive
15" LCD monitor

^^
Hell yeah.

[Paladin58]

No, they were the same thing, because $50,000 was spent on the tech lab, to update it for a class called Principles of Engineering. The comps are Dell XPS with expanded HDs and flat screen monitors. 50-some comps in all were bought, add software to that, and the enhancement project used used almost all of its funding on that. They got the wired version of your mouse. They came with the comps.
Edit: I just looked on that sight. They are the same thing.
