    So as the title said, what does your actual desktop look like?

    I don't mean your wallpaper I mean your actual desk :)

    So here's mine from home
    my_machine.jpg

    Desktop:
    AMD Athlon 3700+ 2GB/Ram, NVIDIA Geforce 7800 GT, WindowsXP
    Total Harddrive Capacity: 2.3TB

    Macbook:
    2.16Ghz, 2GB/Ram, OSX (Tiger),
    Total Harddrive Capacity: 160GB

    Love this setup. You can't beat two screens. What are they? I wanna say 19 wide but they look bigger. Very very nice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,757 ✭✭✭Deliverance XXV


    They look like 20.1 Widescreen maybe?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,984 ✭✭✭✭Lump


    17 Inch Widescreens..... They ain't bigger then that, I have 2*17 inch regulars.... I'm not a major fan of widescreens :)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,728 ✭✭✭dazftw


    ill have a Dell 30" next week... :D

    I use to think 19" widescreen was big LOL :rolleyes:

    24 inchers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,067 ✭✭✭youcancallmeal


    2 x 20.1" Dell widescreen's

    Extremely handy for coding in one screen and watching a film on the other etc. A friend of mine was working in dell at time I got them and the price I got was competitive to say the least ;)

    Also the mouse mat in that picture is an icemat which I've actually sold recently here on adverts.ie. Nice mat but it just bothered me after a while.
