    Wow
    Looks like a flight training/simulator, but I could be wrong. Where do you work?

    Here is my set-up at home:

    Samsung 226BW monitor, Core2Duo E6550 in a Thermaltake Lanbox lite case, Logitech DiNovo Edge keyboard and a G5 mouse (on order is a new logitech MX Air mouse)
    of course the guard dog

    Its not really a desk but it gets the job done!

  21. 09-21-2007 03:48 PM #91

    You can't see, but i just built myself a new rig:

    Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe
    AMD X2 6000+
    EVGA 8800GTS 320MB
    2GB G.SKILL DDR2800
    Lian-Li PC-65B

    I see we're both Logitech fanbois I have the Edge keyboard as well, but I have a G25 steering wheel.
    Also, how do you like the MX AIR Mouse? I just ordered one and can't wait to try it out. Can you use the "Air" functionality in games and such as well, or just IE and media players?


  25. 09-25-2007 03:12 PM #95
    I so need to play... Let me go home first and I'll show off a bit...

    Also, should I put all the gadgets in, or just the desktop and moniter with speakers????

    If I throw them all in, it might get a little crowded... but I'll see what I can do...

    Here is a hint... I stuck with a "white" theme...

    I really like Logitech products. I've never had a problem with them and I can tell you that they invest 5X more in R&D than any other PC peripherals company. It's doesn't hurt that I work for a company that resells them so I get to play with products before launch.

    The MX air is a very cool product but it has it's specific limitations. I mean you can use it as a mouse, but I find myself using when I chill back and listen to music. Easy to toggle between songs or playlists. Also if you want to passively surf the web. I do not have Windows media center but I'd imagine it'd be great for that. You have to think of it (and hold it) more like a remote control (or presentation device) than a mouse. It works fine as a mouse but would not recommend this as my primary mouse. Ps. works fine with Itunes and Media Player 10.

    I like how it's lying face down with it's guts strewn about. The power supply died and I had to extract the hard drive, which lives at the very top near the fan. I haven't bothered to put it back together yet.

    Those are a pita to get apart, arn't they? I had to take one apart once....ugh.

    I'm not sure what's worse for doing repairs on, the eMac or the iMac. The G5 on the other hand.....
