Computer Setup Pictures
NaRu:
Im been changing my setup for a long time. I can never keep the samething more then a year..I have problems lol
Here are the pics in order in which i had them
This pic is very old. This is when I had my 19" Sony LCD and my 17" Proview. The laptop was my old HP P4 2.8GHz HT which the onboard video card died
Here is a better pic of my 2 monitors
When I saw a 22" Samsung on sale on black friday for $150 a had to get one. The HP still lives here
about 6 months into owning the 22" My laptop died and I wanted to have dual screen again. So I bought a second 22"
Now I normally don't downgrade but Nikki needed a monitor for her PC. I gave her the 17" Proview monitor which no longer turns on for her. I gave Nikki my second 22" monitor...my desk looks so empty
Now have only a 22" monitor things looked too small. Newegg had a sale on a 26" monitor....I decided to get one
This is my current setup
Now for my desktop

Naru, is that G.Skill ram? I noticed it looks like you have almost the same ram/heatsink as me. I finally got my new raid controller and all my new drives hooked up and my data moved over to the new raid array:
The controller I am using right now is an ARC-1280ML. I was going to upgrade to the ARC-1680ix-24 but I heard from people on forums and from areca that the 1680ix-24 has issues with seagate AS series 1 TB drives so I ordered a ARC-1280ML which caused some delays.
Here are some pics of my setup
Newer Pics: After I upgraded to the new raid controller
Yeah I know the cable job is not pretty/sucks but I didn't want to spend th money *just* to buy a modular power supply to save myself some cables which are in the way.
And for those curious the temps on my drives went up only slightly (1-3 C) from my old CM stacker case and my CPU temp dropped about 13C! My CPU/mobo now runs at around 37C which is very good IMHO for a 2.4 Ghz core 2 duo OC'd to 3.5.
I also found out my PSU didn't like a 0.4 second staggered power up and requires a 1.5 second one so it takes a good 30-40 seconds from pushing the power button before my OS starts loading =(
Loving the space though =)
