I hope you didn't throw it. They're the easiest components to reflow at home without tools. Won't last long term, but between 1-6 months normally.
still not tidied shit up enough to take a fresh pic alas

>>54107372
So much eliquid. I enjoy the monitors :D but looks like it'd be a sod to get background image layouts that you're happy with. It's why I went with all 6 just random.
>>54107364
reflow?
What does that mean? Can I fix it?
>>54107390
Basic but I like it. 7/10. Link to wallpapers?

>>54107405
Take it out. Remove all paste, stickers and any heat pads that don't stick to the heatsink. Give it a rub down with rubbing alcohol, but if you don't have any don't worry, just try to have it clean. Get a oven tray and roll some tinfoil up into 4 balls, and then place the GPU on top of them so they're in the corners. It's to keep the GPU from laying directly onto the tray. Put it in the oven at 100C for around 5 minutes, then crank it to 200C, wait around 3-4 minutes, then reduce temp to lowest you can, and leave it like that for 5 minutes or so. Then open oven door, and allow it to cool over 20 minutes in there (so it's no drastic temp change). Take the card out, put new paste on and slap it back in. The temp re-joins broken solder joints which 9/10 times is the cause for GPU failure. It's not hot enough to break anything, just melt the solder. I run a PC repair shop, any while there's proper tools available, the oven method works maybe 75% of the time. If it still doesn't work, just do it again until it does.

Finally early enough for one of these things. Sorry for the shit pic, lads.
>>54107456
thank you for the reply. I will try your solution when I get the chance.
>>54107509
I think I have one of these keyboards downstairs. Always been tempted to break it down and spray it but argh, effort. Maybe one day.
>>54107397
aye, can only buy 10ml bottles here now so I go through 30 a month or something
wallpapers aren't too bad - I made a template that takes into account all the dpi differences and bezel gaps, just scale an image to the right size then using that its easy to crop and re-scale to each monitor.
>>54107532
No worries. Youtube is covered in tutorials, or at least video of people trying it. Worth knowing, because most consoles / motherboards / graphics cards can be fixed with it. Years ago I bought a load of knackered cards, GTX 580 (when that was top in the world) and a load of others. Got at least 3-4 of them working with reflow.
>>54107534
Awww man you should pop the keys off and give it a nice wash down. It's so worth it in the end. Put on a favorite album and sit back to wash it up. It's kind of soothing in it's own way. Cheers.
>>54107534
Fucking hell, if you own a model M don't spray it. And especially don't tell people on /g/ you plan on spraying it.
>>54107558
I own a computer shop. Probably got a few of these around.
>>54107546
I'd love to have some big images, but I enjoy having crystal clear images, and the 6 screens make up 16m pixels I believe lol - hard to find many nice wallpapers to cover it :'(
No number of LCD monitors will be able to match one CRT.
I'm sorry.

Obligatory edgy angles
Thinking of selling my triple monitors and buying a 34" ultrawide curved one instead. Anyone had any experience with them?
>>54107477
This looks very comfy.
>>54107682
The microphone looks like it is part of the poster.
Also SNAAAKE.
>>54107718

Oh we're doing angles?
>>54107477
Go on, draw the curtains and show off your ridiculous lighting
>>54107718
Keep what you've got, or sell one and get a bigger/better one for the middle.
>>54107771
I had a bonsai just like that years ago. I didn't trim it, but fed it and kept it in my window. In 2 years it grew to 4ft tall lol.
>>54107788
ridiculous is a matter of opinion, in person the lighting is very discrete and subtle and simply changes the colour of part of the wall. Some love it some don't. Personally I have them off most of the time but i do think it comes out well in pictures.
>>54107829
> power outlets / 10
>>54107750
>>54107802
I honestly don't use the extra screenspace enough where I would be missing out if I went to the single 34". Getting rid of these would give me more space for some better speakers and allow me to upgrade to QHD from 1080p, not to mention the better picture from changing to an IPS panel.
>>54107887
I wanted to get an ultra-wide, but what I do is always either full screen, or vertical scrolling. Because of this, multiple screens work better for me. The odd racing game or so on ultra wide would be nice, but that's what my projector's for. If I were you, instead of an ultra wide I'd get a nice big 16:9 4k screen, and possible a baby secondary (or keep one that you have).
>>54107951
The LG ultrawides allow you to split your fullscreen programs and even different inputs in 14 different ways so that wouldn't be too big of an issue for me. I was considering 4k but I don't want to make the massive GPU investment required to play 4k games. Most 4K monitors also have shit refresh rates.
>>54107262
>>54107985
You wouldn't need to play all games at 4K though. Newer ones you run at lower and it'd still look nice. Medium demanding games could run nicely at 1440p and things like L4D2 you could hit 4K no problem. I can say with my Acer 27" that I personally wouldn't go to 4K until both the panels, and GPUs are down in price. Games at 1440p are gorgeous. 27" is a perfect size for my main screen. 144hz is a bonus also, playing older games like BC2 at 1440p at 144hz is lovely.
>>54107329
cute
There will be an actual change in my station come kid May
>>54108124
Kid May must be an awesome person.
>>54108079
The desktop scaling at 4k is still awful I've heard though. Right now I'm still at 1080p on a 24" monitor so the jump to 1440 on an ultrawide 32" will be awesome, even if it means I'm losing a bit of screenspace.
>>54107645
Pixels are like calories, you can get lots of them for cheap if you don't really care about their quality.
>>54107680

Nothing wrong with my XF270HU's pixels, bro
>>54108175
Can you do graphical editing on one of those crt's? My local used electronics store has a shitload of them.
>>54107329
Which mouse do you prefer, Deathadder or G500? I recently ordered a second Deathadder as my old 3.5 model crapped out and needed a replacement. I bought an M500 because it had a similar shape to the "legendary" g500 but it feels like garbage and the sensor sucks.
>>54108195
>Acer
:^)
>>54108217
Yes, but the kind of CRT that your used electronics store has is not going to surpass a mid tier LCD. The CRT in the picture was a $10 000 class device when new.
>>54108268
Oh well. The last cry I thought was nice was a widescreen crt by Sony.
Oh well, gonna have to buy another Dell monitor to make my furry lewds with.
>>54107329

Despite liking this, every time I've seen it over the years I just haven't been able to imagine a person behind this. Sort like it's more of a set piece.
>>54107695
Nice, But does that cause your neck to hurt?
>>54108124
More comfy.
>>54108218
I prefer the G500 but the G5 is still my all time favourite
>>54108312
Not really. The center of the top monitor is right at eye level
I move the tv I had on the other side of the room to here. I don't know /bst/ should I kept it up there? I only mounted it no wiring.
>>54108365
Moved it so I can watch it while in bed
>>54108268
I would get an Acer monitor. I had to look at one in person to see that they actually look good. I just chose a Dell monitor over them because I am more comfortable with Dell.
>>54108365
>>54108386
Nah looks kinda bad, Also it's not much bigger than your monitors already there.

How is the microphone? Seen it on sale a few times while hunting after sales on the yeti one but heard that the snowball mic is pretty bad at picking up voices/you have to speak very close to the mic.
>>54108519
I now also have a mic stand
>>54108644
I have one and I like it alright
>>54108644
It works well, better than any mic in a headset, Obviously I sit a decent distance from mine and havent had any issues with voice detection at all. I got mine at best buy for like 40 bucks, I would definitely recommend it

I'd go with a 1 over 3 setup if I can just find a fucking stand that will put the top monitor a little bit forward so I can tilt it down and still touch bezels.

your shit is under rated, I see people telling you to get a new desk all the time but I like the one you have. It looks comfy as fuck and you have good tastes. This is one of few in any of these threads I would actually own.
Posted in >>54108420 but figured I'd post here too. Desktop is custom, its just in a Powermac G5 case. Laptop is a rMBP, mid 2012 retina 15", fully loaded. Just need to fix the screen on it (got a great deal because of the cracked screen).

>Having food that close to exposed PCB's
Dude.
>>54110460
Radiator in the front is exhaust, and it gets pretty damn decent temps without one. CPU idles at ~25c, gpu at ~30C. CPU doesnt go above ~60C under load, and GPU doesnt go above ~75C under load.
>>54110554
still seems like your temps could be better
>>54110571
Maybe so but I dont really care enough. Pain in the ass to put fans on this case anyways, and its loud enough as it is.
>>54110655
so use more fans at a lower speed for less noise
one fan is really not optimal.
fix it.
>>54110668
Really its the psu fans that are the loudest and I have no control over those (tiny ass little fans, 50mm I think). I might add some more but I'm not really that worried about it, my temps now are good enough.
>>54108124

The reason why I am sitting on the floor is because I don't have a nice chair for my desk. Any recommendations on comfy chairs, as well? I'm 6 foot 2, just as reference.

So I was thinking about posting here for the first time since I'm starting to buy decent-looking components,but my desk is still a total mess because of cable management: it doesn't lean against the wall and I'm using a cheap ass USB hub to plug in my 2 keaboards, a mouse, a graphic tablet and other stuff such as phone cables.
Do you have any useful tips? How should I gather together all that stuff? Will post results after

>>54117258
You'll usually connect then through an audio interface or DAC/AMP. Depending on how many outputs you want you'll have to check the one you're looking at has enough.
>>54117450
Say I have a vinyl player and a desktop computer. I would like to use both of these through two speakers (left and right) and a pair of headphones. How would I go about that?

>>54117477
DAC will connect to your computer usually by USB, then your player has two RCA outputs which will also go into the input on your DAC. Then you simply plug your phones into the headphone jack (which it'll more then likely have) and either the balanced or unbalanced outputs will go to your speaker monitors.
With your speakers you'll have to check if they have balanced, unbalanced, or both. This just means you'll have to get different cables depending on which you use (RCA for unbalanced, 1/4" or XLR for balanced)
>>54117565
I will look into this. Thank you very much senpai
>>54117588
Be warned though, it can get very expensive very quickly. Once you price up your monitors, DAC/AMP, Phones etc it could be up to about $1500, and that's if you get relatively middle of the road products.

You don't have to. Its more of a way to "isolate" the speakers from the table

sysop how do you apply different wallpapers for each screen?
Im trying to do it on windows 7, it's not able to do it by itself. Haven't found a decent program yet.

not that guy but display fusion is pretty non-invasive.

Does anyone know where I could find a similar desk? Needing around 7 ft of room
looking for a new monitor, 25-29". Will use it for gaming and videos...recommendations?
I currently have two (honestly pretty crappy) 20" right now that I'm going to put on either side of the new monitor.
