Egad! I just found this thread, and now I can try a real image. Maybe a couple:

The Digiteria:



The Digiteria in glorious blackness:



The images on the screens are the screen savers from projects from BOINC for which am crunching.

O.K., here goes. Hey, I can always edit, right?

O.K. the second image is not coming up. I checked the link, it reads the same as the first link. Can anyone spot a problem? Too much space maybe?

Let's retry the second image in a new image and a new post.

>>RSM




Still not successful, reads the same as the first link.

What the heck, one more try, a different link:

Egad!! Success. Let me go get a pencil and write down the structure....

O.K., found one

This is the Digiteria in Glorious midnight black. The images are actually from three World Community Grid projects, Nutritious Rice for the World, Proteome Folding, and the Dengue Fever project. The computer on the left is an older PIII, so it has only three projects with shorter work units. The other two are Core-2-Duo, so each runs eight/nine projects, four from WCG, but one or two at a time and the rest from BOINC.

Your should try it, you will love the feeling you get from helping on scientific projects at august universities and institutions around the world all for the non-profit open source betterment of mankind, and you do nothng but keep your computer running. The processes use naught but idle time and power.

Admittedly my setup isn't as good-looking as everybody else's, but it makes efficient use of space.



This is a slightly dated photo; I'm using a different monitor on the left now that's identical to the one on the right.

Well, I once had a setup looked similar to Don's.

From my photo archive:


Featured my PowerBook G4 (12-inch), PowerMac G4 dual 1.44GHz (now shown), Apple Cinema Display (20-inch), Mitsubishi LCD screen (17-inch), Dell laptop (14-inch)
According to EXIF data, the date was 4 May 2004, which was the second day I got my PowerBook G4.

(Sorry for the wrong setting in camera for bad photo, colour adjusted in photoshop for better viewing.)

(I don't use the setup like that, was only putting up together for photo.)

LOL.

That Dell laptop was purchased in 2001, before I switched to Mac. It is now broken.

O.K., it's alright to admit it here among your closest friends, but don't let on top others.

You know, we're stuck with you, we have to love you, you are family to us.

Here's my temporary setup for a Dell OptiPlex GX1 I got from a friend of mine:



It came running Fedora Core 3, but I don't have any login credentials. I'm probably going to wipe it with DBAN and then try and sell it on Craigslist.

Attentive watchers may notice the battery charger with the wires and alligator clips sticking out of it.

Don,

I don't think you can sell it well with the "Jinx" sticker on.

That's my monitor. I'd only be selling the desktop to the right of it.

New toys.

Linksys 8 port Gigabit switch (I was so sick of 100mbit!)
3ea 20m CAT6 network cable
Samsung Laser Printer (monochrome)
Logitech Optical Mouse
Logitech Z-5500 speakers

Obviously, the biggest purchase here was the speakers. I moved my Z-2300s to the HDTV and have the Z-5500s connected to my Auzentech soundcard. The sound is just phenomenal, I've never heard audio quality this good. It'll be even better when, come Tuesday, I can pick up a digital audio coaxial cable and use the DDL and DTS decoding features on the sound card and speakers! (Currently connected the old fashioned way, with analogue 3.5mm audio cables.)

Gigabit network speeds rock too - 100mbit just sucked badly.
