Yep, the PC could almost be used as an alternative to a light now with them inside it as well as the ones it has built-in! They were only £3 from Ebuyer, I came across them when looking for my replacement DVD drive and thought you can't really go wrong at that price! Looks like a pretty complicated setup you've got there though, are you charging up a battery from the sun during the day and then they can be run at night like in the picture?

Yeah. If you haven't seen my site www.repowered.co.uk it shows my setup, but in a nutshell:

36watts of 12v solar
Charges 90Ah 12v Sealed Lead Acid

I can then use it at night. I only get about 2-5Ah of power per day. Each Ah is basically 1amp of power for 1 hour. White = 0.4A, Blue = 0.4A so you can work out how long I can use it every day.

From what I can infer from the picture and what he said; I would assume he does the tech work for a company. Since there are what looks like to be barcode-tags on the P4 machines.

Actually, I fix these computers (as a side job). I buy them from the company I work for (they're out of warranty, so they can't do anything with them anyway), repair the motherboards (because Dell is notorious for early motherboard failures), and sell them to individuals/small companies. The money I use to buy them goes to charity, and the money that I make from selling them to someone else (after their fixed).....well, goes to bills....and the energy drink fund.

LOL - I need to find a side project to generate some supplemental income because I spend WAAAYY too much money on these energy drinks.

They're addictive and evil, and I love 'em for it!

"What does for desk look like?" Horrid...

Gets worse if I had moved more to the right.

Postin 'cuz I just finished fixing up my room with new paint and a brand new floor:

With labels, the USB card is hooked up to the laptop, with optical link to the desktop, which goes to the amp, and I really need to fix up my cables.

E:
LAN at school, posting a pic of my setup there:

The 3 17" Acer monitors and the surround receiver are school property, I deserve to use all those monitors B/C I was the network admin + the music admin, so I needed monitors for bandwith monitors and music players (and because it looks cool)

@Cursed Your main desk looks awesome. How many inches is the monitor?

Cursed · **Post subject:** **Posted:** Sun Dec 14, 2008 8:49 pm

It's a Samsung Syncmaster 2032BW 20". It is indeed a very nice monitor, 2MS response time and a 3000:1 contrast rate. I don't believe I ever survived on 1024*768 anymore.

Well the leftmost screenbezel is silver and was standing an inch lower than the others. I've put the stand on a dvd case so now I'm good.
